Ngakho-ke uma nafile kanye noKristu kuzo iziqalo zezwe, ngani, sengathi siphila emhlabeni, ningaphansi kwezimiso, (Ungathinti; unganambitha; ungaphathi; Okuthi zonke zizobhubha ngokusetshenziswa;) ngokwemiyalo nezimfundiso zabantu? Okuyizinto ngempela ezibonisa ukuhlakanipha ekukhonzeni intando, kanye nokuthobeka, nokungawunaki umzimba; kungahlonitshwa nganoma iyiphi indlela kuze eneliseke inyama (AbaseKolose 2:20-23)
Ukufa kanye noKristu ezisekelweni zezwe
KwabaseKolose 2:20, UPawulu wabhalela ongcwele eKolose, ngoba babefile kanye loKristu ezintweni zakuqala zomhlaba, kungani siphila emhlabeni, babethobela izimiso, njengokungathi ungathinti, ukunambitheka nesibambo, okuyizinto zonke ezimiselwe ukonakala ekudleni kwazo.
Esikhundleni sokuhamba ngokukholwa kuKristu entandweni kaNkulunkulu nokugcina imiyalo kaJesu, baphendukela enyameni babekwa ngaphansi kwezimiso, futhi baphila ngokuvumelana nemithetho namasiko abantu.
Njengoba kulotshiwe ngaphambili, yonke imithetho, (-sattshelelwe umhlatshelo, ukudla) imithetho, imiyalelo, futhi amasiko eSivumelwaneni Esidala ayenzelwe ikhehla, ongowenyama futhi ongowabantu bakaNkulunkulu.
Okuwukuphela kwento evela eSivumelwaneni Esidala esasebenza esivumelwaneni esisha, okuhloselwe umuntu omusha, ozelwe ngokusha kuKristu futhi engumoya, ingxenye yomthetho yokuziphatha emele ubunjalo nentando kaNkulunkulu (Funda futhi: ‘Imiyalo kaNkulunkulu vs imiyalo kaJesu‘ futhi ‘Imfihlo yomthetho‘).
Ikhehla lilawulwa yizinto zomhlaba ezingajwayelekile
Nakuba kunjalo nathi, lapho siseyizingane, babeyizigqila ngaphansi kwezakhi zezwe (KwabaseGalathiya 4:3)
Kodwa manje, emva kwalokho senimazi uNkulunkulu, noma kunalokho baziwa nguNkulunkulu, nibuyela kanjani ezintweni ezibuthakathaka neziwubala, enithanda ukubuye nibe yizigqila ngakho? Nigcina izinsuku, kanye nezinyanga, kanye nezikhathi, kanye neminyaka. Ngiyakwesaba, funa ngisebenzele ize (KwabaseGalathiya 4:9-10)
Xwayani funa kube khona oniphanga ngefilosofi nangenkohliso eyize, ngokwesiko labantu, emva kwemithetho yomhlaba, futhi hhayi emva kukaKristu (AbaseKolose 2:8)
EmiBhalweni engenhla, UPawulu wabhala mayelana neqiniso lokuthi uma nafa kuKristu futhi navuswa kuye, awusaphili ebugqilini ngaphansi kwezakhi zezwe.
Awuseyona indalo endala, ongowenyama futhi obuswa yizinto zomhlaba ezingaqaphile, kodwa ngabafileyo benyama lokuvuka kukamoya kwabafileyo, wenziwe waphelela kuKristu futhi usuyisidalwa esisha futhi uzophila ekukholweni kwakho Kuye.
Njengendalo entsha, ukhululiwe emthethweni wesono nokufa futhi awusaphili ebugqilini futhi ngeke uphendukele ezintweni zomhlaba ezibuthakathaka futhi eziwubala ngakho-ke ngeke uzithobe kuzo zonke izinhlobo zemithetho nemiyalo yomuntu wenyama futhi ulandele izimfundiso zomuntu..
Zonke lezi zimiso, imiyalo, futhi izimfundiso zomuntu zikhohlakele futhi aziyikusiza ngalutho, njengoba zisuka emqondweni wenyama nasenyameni futhi zihloselwe inyama kuphela nokwanelisa inyama.
UPawulu waxwayisa abangcwele ukuba bangathonywa futhi boniwe ngefilosofi nenkohliso eyize, ngokwesiko labantu neziqalo zezwe hhayi emva kukaKristu (Funda futhi: ”Xwayani funa kube khona oniphanga ngefilosofi nangenkohliso eyize’)
Ivangeli lokuzenzela
Konke lokhu kwakha ivangeli elizakhele lona nelizenzela wena, okungelona ivangeli leqiniso likaJesu Kristu, kodwa ivangeli lamanga, okungase kubonakale kukaKristu, ongokomoya futhi ongcwele, kodwa empeleni kuwubuntu kanye nenyama futhi igxile enyameni futhi ihloselwe inyama kanye nezinto zesikhashana emhlabeni..
Inkolo evela noma kubantu benyama esekelwe olwazini lomuntu, ukuhlakanipha, imfundiso, izimiso, namasiko futhi okuhloselwe umzimba, kodwa ayihlanganise lutho noMzimba noKristu, Ubani iNhloko yoMzimba.
Inkolo, lapho uNkulunkulu ethathelwa indawo umuntu futhi umuntu ubekwa ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu futhi umuntu unquma imithetho futhi abhale izimiso nemiyalo yakhe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu., futhi yenza abantu bahambe ngokuzithoba okungamanga (Funda futhi: ‘Kusho ukuthini ukuthobeka?')
Kodwa uPawulu wathi, ukungaphendukeli enyameni nokungathonywa nokuholwa yiziqalo zezwe nemiyalo nezimfundiso zomuntu.. Bayodla inyama kuphela futhi banelise inyama, kodwa hhayi umoya.
Uma nafa kanye noKristu ezicaleni zaleli zwe, navuswa kanye noKristu, uyakufuna okwaphezulu, ugxile ezintweni zaphezulu, ungathandi ezisemhlabeni. Uzokondla futhi uvuselele ingqondo yakho ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi uvumele ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kukugcwalise, ukuze nihambe ngokukholwa ekugcwaleni kukaMoya ngokwezwi lakhe ngokwentando yakhe futhi nigcine imiyalo yakhe.
