Maningi amakholwa, abakholelwa ukuthi umKristu angaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Kuyo yonke iminyaka, izincwadi eziningi okulotshwe ngazo iziqalekiso zesizukulwane neziqalekiso jikelele. Kulezi zincwadi, kuthiwa umKristu ozelwe ngokusha angaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Lezi zincwadi zinikeza izindlela nezindlela zobuchwepheshe zokuthola ukuthi hlobo luni lwesiqalekiso oluphezu kwempilo yomuntu nokuthi ungasiphula kanjani isiqalekiso., ukuze lowomuntu ahlengwe esiqalekisweni. Lezi zincwadi zithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwamakholwa. Njengoba amakholwa amaningi ekholelwa ukuthi wona noma abanye bangaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Kodwa kuyiqiniso lokho? Ingabe umKristu angaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso noma cha? I iziqalekiso zesizukulwane futhi iziqalekiso, ezikhulunywa phezu kwamaKristu sekuxoxiwe ngakho kokuthunyelwe kwebhulogi okwedlule. Kule bhulogi sizoxoxa ngokuthi siyini isiqalekiso nokuthi umKristu ozelwe ngokusha angaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso.
Yini isiqalekiso?
Abantu bayacabanga, ukuthi uma izinto empilweni zingahambi ngokwentando yabantu noma zingahambi ngendlela ehleliwe noma elindelwe, noma uma abantu bebhekana nokuphikiswa futhi bengachumi, baphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Kodwa uma lokho kungaba yiqiniso, khona-ke abantu abaningi eBhayibhelini babeyophila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso.
Ngoba abaprofethi abaningi esivumelwaneni esidala namadodana kaNkulunkulu (okudaliwe okusha) esivumelwaneni esisha, wabhekana nezihibe, ukumelana, kanye/noma ukushushiswa futhi abazange baphumelele futhi izinto ekuphileni azizange zibe njengoba babelindele noma babefuna, futhi noma kunjalo babebusisiwe futhi uNkulunkulu wayenabo.
Ngakho-ke, ukuchuma, impumelelo, futhi ingcebo emhlabeni ingase ingalokothi ibe yinkomba ukuthi umuntu uphila kahle yini noNkulunkulu futhi uphila entandweni Yakhe nokuthi uNkulunkulu unaye noma cha..
Ngoba baningi abantu emhlabeni, abaphumelelayo, -phumelele, -bukhali, futhi ucebile futhi ubonakala ujabule, kodwa usaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso.
Yini isiqalekiso? Isiqalekiso, njengoba kuchazwe eBhayibhelini kwavela kuNkulunkulu hhayi kuSathane. Isiqalekiso kwakungukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu, okwavela ngokungalaleli uNkulunkulu; isono.
ngalokho umuntu waletha okubi; ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu kuye ngokwakhe ngezenzo zakhe, ngokungalaleli uNkulunkulu (isono). Ngokungalaleli uNkulunkulu, umuntu wahlukaniswa noNkulunkulu futhi akabange esaphila ngaphansi kwesivikelo sikaNkulunkulu (Funda futhi: ‘Abantu ababi bazilethela bona‘).
Zonke ezinye iziqalekiso (umthandazo noma isicelo sokulinyazwa noma ukulinyazwa komuntu*) okuchazwa njengokulotshwa noma ukupela, akuveli eBhayibhelini, kodwa ezinkolweni zemilingo nezingamaqaba.
Ekusebenzelaneni nemimoya nasezinkolweni zamaqaba abantu bayakholelwa kuyo iziqalekiso zesizukulwane nokuthi abantu bangaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Ngaphandle kwalokho, basebenzisa amagama nezindlela zemvelo (izinto) kanye/noma amasiko okuqalekisa abantu kanye/noma ukuphula iziqalekiso.
Cishe zonke izimfundiso mayelana neziqalekiso, ezifundiswa amakholwa, ngokuyinhloko avela ekusebenzelaneni nemimoya nezinkolo zobuqaba hhayi eBhayibhelini (Funda futhi: ‘Isonto lemimoya‘ futhi ‘Inkathi entsha esontweni?‘).
Isiqalekiso esintwini
Kusukela ngesikhathi u-Adamu no-Eva bengalaleli amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi bakholwa futhi balalela amazwi enyoka., futhi bawa esikhundleni sabo futhi bahlukaniswa noNkulunkulu, UNkulunkulu wayiqalekisa inyoka, isintu, nomhlaba (Oh. Genesis 3:13-19, Genesis 5:29).
Umhlaba wawuqalekisiwe futhi wawuyoveza ameva namakhakhasi. Ngokwemvelo lokhu kubhekiselwa okhulani, kodwa ngokomoya lokhu kubhekiselwa kumadodana kasathane; izoni ukuthi umhlaba uyoziveza esikhundleni samadodana kaNkulunkulu; abalungileyo.
Umuntu wathathwa othulini lomhlabathi wabuyela emhlabathini.
Wonke umuntu, owayezazalwa enzalweni yomuntu owileyo, wayeyozalwa eyisoni futhi aphile ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso, ngaphansi kwegunya lombuso wobumnyama, futhi babeyophila ebugqilini besono nokufa.
UNkulunkulu wakhetha abantu Bakhe futhi wabusisa abantu Bakhe
Zonke izizwe ezazihlala ebusweni bomhlaba zaziphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Phakathi kwazo zonke lezo zizwe, UNkulunkulu wakhetha abantu, ayeyomehlukanisa kuzo zonke ezinye izizwe futhi ayeyobangcwelisa. Ngakho uNkulunkulu wakhetha u-Abrahama kwase kuba u-Isaka noJakobe (Israyeli).
UNkulunkulu wazisa intando Yakhe kubantu baKhe u-Israyeli, ngokubanika umthetho. Inqobo nje uma abantu behlala belalela uNkulunkulu futhi begcina umthetho nayo yonke imiyalo, imihlatshelo, amasiko, nemikhosi, babusiswa, kodwa uma benquma ukungamlaleli uNkulunkulu futhi bengasayigcini imithetho, imihlatshelo, amasiko, nemikhosi, baqalekiswa futhi baletha isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu phezu kwabo futhi ngezinye izikhathi phezu kwebandla lonke (Funda futhi: ‘Siyini incazelo yesigodi sase-Akori??‘ futhi ‘Lithini iZwi ngesono ebandleni?‘).
Uma nje abantu wathanda uNkulunkulu, emesaba uNkulunkulu futhi wathembela kuNkulunkulu, futhi wahlala elalela uNkulunkulu namazwi Akhe, abantu babengesabi lutho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wayenabantu Bakhe futhi abantu Bakhe babephila ngaphansi kwesivikelo sikaNkulunkulu.
Umthetho wawungumphathi wesikole futhi wawuhloselwe umuntu wenyama; indoda ewile, lapho kubusa imvelo yesono futhi kugcinwe abantu esitokisini kuze kufike isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu, okungukuthi i Ukuza KoMesiya (KwabaseGalathiya 3:24-25).
Isiqalekiso saqala esihlahleni saze saphelela esihlahleni
UKristu usihlengile esiqalekisweni somthetho, enziwe isiqalekiso ngenxa yethu: ngoba kulotshiwe, Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga esihlahleni: Ukuze isibusiso sika-Abrahama sibe phezu kwabezizwe ngoJesu Kristu; ukuze samukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokukholwa (KwabaseGalathiya 3:13-14)
U-Adamu wathatha isithelo somuthi wokuhle nokubi ngokuphambene nomyalo kaNkulunkulu, lapho ngokungalaleli kuka-Adamu sonke isintu saqalekiswa futhi saphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso, ehlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayenesu lokuhlenga umuntu esiqalekisweni nasemandleni esono nokufa futhi abuyisele umuntu kuNkulunkulu., ukuze umoya womuntu uphinde uxhunywe noNkulunkulu.
Futhi omunye wabo, okuthiwa uKayafase, engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo, Anazi lutho nina, Futhi ningacabangi ukuthi kuyasizuzisa, ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lesizwe sonke singabhubhi (UJohane 11:49-50)
Manje, iNzalo ethenjisiwe; UJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo yeza emhlabeni ukuzohlenga isintu esiqalekisweni ngokuthatha isiqalekiso saso sonke isintu phezu Kwayo futhi ibuyise umuntu abuyele kuNkulunkulu futhi ibuyisele ubuhlobo phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu. (Funda futhi: ‘Ukuthula, UJesu wabuyisela phakathi komuntu owile noNkulunkulu‘ futhi ‘UJesu wabuyisela isikhundla somuntu owile‘).
Ngokulalela kukaJesu Kristu, isiqalekiso sephukile
Ngakho-ke njengoba icala lokwahlulela kwawo wonke lafika phezu kwabo bonke abantu ekulaleleni; Noma kunjalo ngokulunga kwesipho sakudala kwafika phezu kwabo bonke abantu ekuthetheleleni impilo. Ngoba njengokungalaleli komuntu okukodwa kwakhiwa izoni, Ngakho-ke ukulalela omunye kuzokwenziwa ulungile. Ngaphezu kwalokho kwafakwa umthetho, ukuthi icala lingavama. Kepha lapho isono saba khona, UGrace wenza okuningi kakhulu: Ukuthi njengoba isono seba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe, Noma kunjalo umusa ububuse ngokulunga ekuvuseleleni okuphakade ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 5:18-21)
Ngokungalaleli (isono) ka-Adamu wokuqala (indoda), isiqalekiso sehlela phezu kwesintu sonke futhi umuntu wahlukaniswa noNkulunkulu. Kodwa ngokulalela kuka-Adamu wokugcina (UJesu Kristu) isiqalekiso saphulwa futhi umuntu wabuyisana noNkulunkulu (Funda futhi: ‘Ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu‘ futhi ‘Ukulalela uNkulunkulu‘)..
UJesu wathatha isiqalekiso sesintu phezu Kwakhe ngokuba yisiqalekiso esiphambanweni futhi wanika wonke umuntu ithuba lokuhlengwa esiqalekisweni futhi angasaphili ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu nangokubonakala kuHem., Ngokuvuselelwa kabusha.
Umuntu omusha akaphili ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso nokwahlulelwa nguNkulunkulu
Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya. Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa (AmaRoma 8:1-2)
Wonke umuntu, okholwa kuJesu Kristu nangokukholwa Kuye uba isidalwa esisha; Indoda entsha, ubuyisana noNkulunkulu.
Umuntu omusha uthole isimo sikaNkulunkulu futhi akaphili ngokwenyama ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso ngamandla esono nokufa ekuhlubukeni kuNkulunkulu.. Kodwa umuntu omusha uhlengiwe esiqalekisweni futhi uphila ngokulandela uMoya ekulungeni ngokulalela iZwi elihambisana noNkulunkulu..
Zonke izinto zokuphila kwangaphambili zisusiwe, ngokubethelwa kwenyama futhi ungaphansi kwegazi likaKristu, kuhlanganise nesiqalekiso esafika ngesono sokuqala, obusa enyameni kanye nazo zonke ezinye iziqalekiso, umuntu azilethe kuye empilweni yakhe yangaphambili lapho (sh)wayengowombuso wobumnyama. Zonke iziqalekiso zesuliwe nguKristu futhi akusekho siqalekiso esisodwa esibusayo empilweni yomuntu omusha.
Ingabe umKristu ozelwe ngokusha angaphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso?
Cha, umKristu ozelwe ngokusha, osephenduke isidalwa esisha futhi ohamba ngokulalela iZwi ngemva kokuba uMoya engakwazi ukuphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso, akunakwenzeka. Kusukela inyama, lapho isiqalekiso sisebenza futhi sibusa khona sibethelwa esiphambanweni ngokukhonjwa kuKristu futhi singcwatshwa kuye ubhapathizo lwamanzi futhi akasaphili.
Uma une waphenduka empilweni yakho yangaphambili njengesoni futhi usuzelwe kabusha kuKristu, ke uJesu ukuhlengile esiqalekisweni, ngokuba yisiqalekiso kini esiphambanweni.
Uma umthanda uJesu Kristu noNkulunkulu uBaba futhi wenza lokho akushoyo, ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukuphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Ngoba ubusisiwe nguNkulunkulu.
Zonke iziqalekiso noma ukupela, okukhulunywa embusweni wobumnyama angeke kukuthinte njengomKristu ozelwe ngokusha, ongowombuso kaNkulunkulu, ngoba libusisiwe kuKristu (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe umKristu angaqalekiswa?‘ futhi ‘Ingabe iziqalekiso zokuzalwa zikhona?‘).
Uyindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane) futhi ngenxa yalokho, uyakuhamba njengendodana kaNkulunkulu ekulungeni izikhali zikaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke uvikelekile futhi asikho isikhali esenzelwa wena esiyophumelela empilweni yakho futhi akukho siqalekiso, ukuloya noma ukupela kuzokwazi ukukuthinta kanye/noma ukukulimaza.
Kodwa konke kumayelana, ubani nokuthi yini oyikholelwayo. Njengoba ukhuluma, isenzo, futhi uphile ngokuvumelana nalokho okukholelwayo. Uyamkholwa uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe? Noma ukholelwa abantu kanye namazwi abantu?
