KwabaseKolose 4:5 UPawulu wabhalela osanta eColosse, Hamba ngokuhlakanipha ngakubo ngaphandle, Ukuhlenga isikhathi. Kusho ukuthini ukuhamba ekuhlakanipheni ngokweBhayibheli?
UPawulu wayala abangcwele ukuba bahambe ngokuhlakanipha kwabangaphandle
UPawulu wayala abangcwele ukuba bahambe ngokuhlakanipha kubo abangaphandle kweBandla futhi baphila ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Wabanxusa ukuba bahambe njengabahlakaniphileyo esikhundleni seziwula. Kwakufanele bahlenge isikhathi, ngoba base behambe isikhathi eside njengeziwula. Manje, kwadingeka basebenzise isikhathi esiyigugu ababesishiye emhlabeni ukuze bahambe ngobuqotho kuKristu ngokuhlakanipha nangentando kaNkulunkulu futhi nishumayele ivangeli
AmaKristu awaseyona indalo endala kodwa aseyindalo entsha ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu.
Bathola inhliziyo entsha kanye nemvelo entsha. Ngenxa yalokho, abasacabangi futhi baphile ngendlela ababecabanga ngayo futhi baphile njengezwe.
AmaKristu awasewona owezwe futhi awasenawo udeveli njengoyise.
AmaKristu lingabe lisakhonza isono nokufa ngenyama.
Kodwa amaKristu aye aba ngokomoya futhi angawoMbuso wezulu. Ngokubuyisana kuKristu banoNkulunkulu njengoBaba futhi bakhonza ukulunga ngomoya
Nakuba amaKristu ephila emhlabeni, abasibo abezwe. Ngokuvuselelwa kuKristu (ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya wabo kwabafileyo) basuswa embusweni wezwe (ubumnyama) embusweni wezulu (ukuKhanya) -phi UJesu Kristu uyiNkosi futhi uyabusa.
AmaKristu angakaKristu futhi aphatha iGama laKhe
AmaKristu angakaKristu futhi athwala iGama Lakhe futhi enza konke eGameni Lakhe.
Njengoba uKristu wahamba emhlabeni ngokuzithoba kuBaba nokulalela izwi nemiyalelo Yakhe futhi wenza imisebenzi Yakhe, AmaKristu kufanele ahambe ngendlela efanayo.
Kufanele bahambe ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu, Ubani Mdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi, esikhundleni sokuhlakanipha kwezwe.
Ongumuntu ohlakaniphileyo nowaziyo phakathi kwenu? Makabonise ngenkambo enhle imisebenzi yakhe ngobumnene bokuhlakanipha. Kepha uma ninomhawu obabayo nokuxabana ezinhliziyweni zenu, inkazimulo hhayi, futhi ungaqambi amanga ngokumelene neqiniso. Lokhu kuhlakanipha akwehli kuvela phezulu, kodwa ngowasemhlabeni, -kwenyama, enodeveli. Ngokuba lapho kukhona umona nokuxabana, kukhona isiphithiphithi nawo wonke umsebenzi omubi. (UJames 3:13-16)
Ukuhlakanipha kwezwe kuphikisana nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu
Ukuhlakanipha kwezwe kungokwasemhlabeni, okwenyama kanye nemvelo, futhi bamelene nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu. Ukuhlakanipha kwezwe kuzama ukucabanga yonke into kusukela ekuhlakanipheni komuntu nasemvelweni. Lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka ngokuphefumulelwa yimimoya yamademoni ngaphandle kokuthi abantu bakuqaphele.
Inhloso yokuhlakanipha kwezwe ukunqanyulwa okuphelele nokuzimela kuNkulunkulu nokucekela phansi amazwi Akhe, isebenza, izivumelwano, izikhungo, kanye nethonya. Ukuze abantu (bacabange) awusamdingi uNkulunkulu, kodwa bangakwenza ngokwabo.
UNkulunkulu akanqumi, kodwa bayanquma, lapho baye baziphakamisa njengonkulunkulu futhi bakhonza intando yabo.
Nokho, AmaKristu ayazi ukuthi ayamdinga uJesu futhi awakwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu noMoya Wakhe. Yena IZwi lingumoya nokuphila futhi uveza isithelo sikaNkulunkulu, ukulunga, futhi (okwaphakade) ukuphila.
Ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kwenza abantu bahambe ngokufanele uJehova
Ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kwenza abantu bahambe ngokufanele uJehova. AmaKristu awasezona iziwula, futhi ungahambi njengoba bahamba ngaphambili njengabahamba indalo endala ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu esonweni nasebumnyameni.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amaKristu afinyelele olwazini lweqiniso. NgeZwi kanye nokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele baye bahlakanipha. Ngoba sebehlakaniphile, bayakukhuluma, benze njengokuhlakanipha, bahambe ngokuhlakanipha.
Ukuhamba ngokuhlakanipha kusho ukuhamba ngokuzithoba nokulalela uNkulunkulu. Kusho ukuhamba eqinisweni nokulunga kweZwi laKhe ekukhanyeni.
Bonke abantu, abathi bangamaKristu futhi bakholelwa kuJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi kukhona obhapathizwe emanzini futhi wamukela i ubhapathizo ngoMoya oNgcwele abasebona abenyama kodwa ngokomoya, kufanele uphile ngokwalokho iZwi likaNkulunkulu elikushoyo futhi ungayekethisi nezwe.
Ukwakha amabhuloho nokwenza ukuxhumana nobumnyama nokuyekethisa nabangakholwa nezinkolo zamaqaba namafilosofi akuwona umyalo kaJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu futhi awayona ingxenye yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu..
AmaKristu awawona abakhi bamabhuloho kodwa abenzi bokuthula phakathi komuntu owile noNkulunkulu ngokushumayela iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa ukuhlakanipha okuvela phezulu kuqala kuhlanzekile, bese kuba nokuthula, mnene, futhi kulula ukuncengwa, egcwele umusa nezithelo ezinhle, ngaphandle kokukhetha, futhi ngaphandle kokuzenzisa. Izithelo zokulunga zihlwanyelwa ngokuthula ngazo ezenza ukuthula (UJames 3:17-18)
UJesu wayala abalandeli bakhe ukuba bakhulume iqiniso futhi bashumayele ivangeli
UJesu wayala abalandeli bakhe ukuba bakhulume iqiniso futhi bashumayele ivangeli likaJesu Kristu noMbuso kaNkulunkulu kubantu, abahlala ebumnyameni. Ukuze baphenduke futhi bahlengwe ngegazi likaJesu futhi basindiswe ekwahlulelweni kukaNkulunkulu futhi bakhule eqinisweni leZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi baphile njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu abalalelayo emhlabeni., ukwenza intando kaBaba.
UNkulunkulu ufuna abantwana abaMthandayo futhi ngalokho, yenza lokho akushoyo futhi ugcine imiyalo yakhe.
Kulokhu, abantwana bakaNkulunkulu bahluka kubantwana bakaSathane. Abantwana bakaNkulunkulu balalela uNkulunkulu futhi benza lokho iBhayibheli elikushoyo (IZwi LikaNkulunkulu) uthi, abantwana bakaSathane abakwenzi. (Oh. UJohane 8:42-47; 10:27-28; 14:15-24; 1 UJohane 2:3-6; 3:6-10).
Ingabe amaKristu abonisa isithombe esifanele sikaNkulunkulu?
Abantu, abathi bangamaKristu futhi bayekethisa nezwe ngenxa yabo, ngoba abafuni ukukhishwa, ukushushiswa kanye/noma kwenqatshwa, lingenawo uMoya weNkosi ohlezi kubo.
Esikhundleni sokuvuma, ukudumisa lokuphakamisa uNkulunkulu ngoMoya, bayahleka futhi phika uNkulunkulu futhi bangcolise futhi balimaze uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngenyama.
UNkulunkulu ungcwele futhi akasoze ayekethisa nobubi futhi avumele isono.
Ngokuziphatha nokuhamba kwabo babonisa isithombe esingamanga sikaNkulunkulu. Okungukuthi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamukela konke. Ukuthi yonke into ivunyelwe eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu nokuthi uMbuso uyiqembu elikhulu.
ETestamenteni Elidala, sifunda mayelana (abaholi be) indlu ka-Israyeli kanye nezikhathi eziningi lapho abantu beshiya izwi likaNkulunkulu noMthetho kaMose futhi bahlehla nezizwe zabahedeni futhi bamukela isiko labo, amasiko nezithombe. Ngokuziphatha kwabo abazange bamele futhi babonise uNkulunkulu weqiniso ka-Israyeli njengaYe nentando Yakhe. Kodwa babonakalisa uNkulunkulu ngendlela engalungile futhi bahlambalaza uNkulunkulu neGama laKhe elingcwele phakathi kwezizwe.
AmaKristu amaningi enza into efanayo ncamashi futhi ahlambalaza iGama elingcwele leNkosi. Ngendlela yabo yokucabanga nokuziphatha abahambi bengcwele ekulaleleni uNkulunkulu njengabantu abahlakaniphile ngokwentando Yakhe.. Kodwa bahamba njengeziwula, ecabanga ukuthi ukukhanya nobumnyama kuyahambisana.
Nokho, IZwi likaNkulunkulu lithi ukukhanya nobumnyama akuhambisani. IBhayibheli lithi ukulunga akuhlangene ngalutho nesono, futhi amakholwa awahlangani nabangakholwayo neziphingi. ((2 AbaseKorinte 6:14-18).
Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisayo ngamazwi ayize futhi athethelele isono
Makungabikho muntu ukuba akukhohlise ngamazwi ayize: ngoba ngenxa yalezi zinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lufika phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli. Ngakho-ke maningabenzi nabahlanganyeli nabo. Ngoba ngezinye izikhathi ubumnyama, Kepha manje niyakhanya eNkosini: uhambe njengezingane zokukhanya: (Ukuze izithelo zoMoya zikubuhle bonke nokulunga neqiniso;) Ukufakazela ukuthi yini eyamukelekayo eNkosini. Futhi awunabo ubudlelwano nemisebenzi engatheli yobumnyama, kodwa kunalokho uyabasola. Ngokuba okwenziwa kubo ekusithekeni kuyihlazo nokukhuluma. Kodwa konke okusolwayo kubonakaliswa ngukukhanya: ngoba konke okubonakaliswayo kungukukhanya. Ngalokho Uthi, Vuka wena oleleyo, futhi avuke kwabafileyo, futhi uKristu uzakukhanyisela.(Kwabase-Efesu 5:6-14)
(15) Ngakho bhekani ukuthi nihamba kanjani, hhayi njengeziwula, kodwa njengokuhlakanipha, Ukuhlenga isikhathi, ngoba izinsuku zimbi. Ngakho-ke ningabi yiziwula, kodwa liqonda ukuthi iyini intando yeNkosi. (Kwabase-Efesu 5:15-17)
AmaKristu akufanele aphile ngokunganaki njengeziwula njengabangakholwa, abahamba ebumpumputheni nasebuzeni bengqondo yabo nasebukhuni benhliziyo yabo ebumnyameni. Kodwa amaKristu kufanele aqaphelisise ukuthi ahamba ehlakaniphile futhi engenangozi ekwesabeni uJehova.
Kufanele bahambe besuka emvelweni yabo entsha (evela kuMoya) ngokweZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Uma behamba ngoMoya ngokweZwi likaNkulunkulu, bayohamba ngokuhlakanipha entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Akuwona wonke umuntu endaweni yangakini ozokwazisa lokhu kuhamba ekukhanyeni. Kuyoze kube khona abantu ebandleni abangakuthokozeli ukuhamba kwakho futhi bakwehlulele futhi bakubeke esigabeni esisemthethweni nesidala..
Kodwa ungathathwa kangcono njengosemthethweni futhi uhlukaniswe njengowakudala futhi ungene ephakadeni, kunokuhlanganyela nabahlubuki abazidlayo futhi babhubhele ekungabini namthetho.
Ukushushiswa nokwenqatshwa empilweni kaJesu
UJesu wayebizwa ngawo wonke amagama encwadini. UJesu washushiswa futhi washiywa abantu ngenxa yamazwi Akhe okuphikisana nawo, nemisebenzi Yakhe, abaningi ababecabanga ukuthi babengaveli kuNkulunkulu kodwa uBheliyali. (Oh. Mathewu 10:25; 11:18; 12:24-27; Maka 3:22; Luka 4:28-30; 11:15-19; UJohane 6:66-68; 7:20; 8:48-59; 10:20-33).
Ekugcineni, UJesu wakhashelwa umfundi Wakhe futhi washiywa yibo bonke abafundi Bakhe (ngisho nomfundi uJesu ayemthanda), ethathekile, waliwe abantu wabulawa. (Oh. Mathewu 26-27; Maka 14:42-15:39; Luka 22:47-23:47; UJohane 18-19).
Leyo kwakuyinani uJesu alikhokha ngokuzithoba nokulalela Kwakhe uBaba.
Nokho, naphezu kwazo zonke izilingo, ukumelana, inhlamba, ukugxeka, ukuhlupha, ukushiya, ukwahlulela nokuphika, UJesu akazange alungise amazwi Akhe noma aguqule imisebenzi Yakhe, kodwa wahlala ethembekile kuBaba futhi wenza lokho uBaba amyala ukuba akwenze kwaze kwaba sekufeni Kwakhe.
UJesu wazalwa emhlabeni, kodwa wayengeyena owomhlaba
UJesu wayazi ukuthi ufika emhlabeni onjani nokuthi izinsuku zazimbi.
Wayazi (ubunjalo nentando ye) umbusi wezwe noyise wabantwana abahlubukayo nabangalaleliyo, ababengowabangathembekile, isizukulwane esiphingayo nesonakeleyo futhi sahamba ngokungabi namthetho.
UJesu wayazi ukuthi udeveli nabantwana bakhe babeyizitha zakhe futhi bemzonda, ngoba babe (futhi zisekhona) izitha zikaNkulunkulu futhi bemzonda.
Ngokwesaba nothando ngoBaba Wakhe kanye nokumazi Yena kanye nentando Yakhe, UJesu wamelana nezilingo eziningi futhi wakwazi ukukhuthazelela zonke izimo. Ngisho nokubhekana nodeveli nokufa, okuyinto uJesu ayinqoba ngokwethembeka nokulalela Kwakhe uNkulunkulu. (Oh. AbaseKolose 2:15; amaHebheru 2:14-15; IsAmbulo 1:17-18).
UJesu waphila esembusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi walandela uMoya ngokuhlakanipha negunya likaNkulunkulu
UJesu waphila esembusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi walandela uMoya ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu egunyeni Lakhe. Wakhuluma amazwi kaBaba Wakhe futhi wenza imisebenzi Yakhe.
UJesu wahamba ngokuhlakanipha phakathi kwesizukulwane esingenalukholo nesikhohlakele. Wayeqaphile, uhlakaniphile, futhi engenangozi futhi wayala abafundi Bakhe ukuba benze okufanayo. Ngoba akubona bonke ababejabule nge Ukuza KuJesu nokushumayela nokwambulwa kombuso kaNkulunkulu, akubona bonke abangajabula ngokuza kwabafundi Bakhe kanye nobufakazi babo.
UJesu wabathuma njengezimvu phakathi kwezimpisi. Futhi sonke siyazi ukuthi izimpisi ziziphatha kanjani izimvu nokuthi imiphi imiphumela yokubhekana nempisi.
Bheka, ngiyanithuma ninjengezimvu phakathi kwezimpisi: ngakho hlakaniphani njengezinyoka, njalo kababi njengamajuba (Mathewu 10:16)
AmaKristu ahamba ngokuhlakanipha futhi ahlukile futhi aphila ngendlela ehlukile
NjengamaKristu asibona abezwe kodwa singaboMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, sihlukile futhi siziphatha ngendlela ehlukile. Asiphili ngokulandela inyama emanyaleni nasekungcoleni naseqinisweni nasekuhlakanipheni kwezwe. Kodwa siphila ngokukaMoya ngokuziphatha nangobungcwele ngokweqiniso nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu.
KuKristu, imfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu yembulwa kithi ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu. Nokho, lokhu kufihliwe kubantu benyama abangaphandle kweBandla futhi abangabomhlaba.
Abamazi uNkulunkulu futhi abaziboni futhi abaziqondi izinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bayasibona. Ngokuhamba kwethu kuKristu ekuhlakanipheni kukaNkulunkulu sembula uJesu (iZwi Eliphilayo) noMbuso kaNkulunkulu kubo.
Ngakho-ke, yimani niqinile ekukholweni futhi niphile ngokukaMoya ngokweZwi likaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabangakholwayo. Ungayekethisi futhi ungabi abahlanganyeli bemisebenzi yabo emibi, kodwa hlala uthembekile kuJesu noBaba. Yenza imisebenzi elungileyo futhi uyiphakamise empilweni yakho. Khumbula, ukuthi ukumesaba uJehova kungukuqala kokuhlakanipha.
Impilo yakho mayibe wubufakazi UJesu Kristu weqiniso, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, noBaba.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
