UNkulunkulu uyena yedwa, Ubani ongakunikeza ukuthula.
Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu, okudlula ukuqonda konke, uzogcina izinhliziyo zakho nengqondo yakho ngoKristu Jesu (AbaseFilipi 4:7)
UMenzi Wokuthula
UJesu wayenguMenzi Wokuthula phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. Waletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni futhi ngalokho Waveza isithelo ukuthula futhi waletha ukuthula kulomhlaba.
UJesu welapha bonke ababecindezelwe ngusathane, Welapha konke ukugula nezifo futhi Wafundisa enegunya (Funda futhi: ‘Hlobo luni lokuthula uJesu aletha emhlabeni?‘)
Ukube uJesu wayenguMenzi Wokuthula, kufanele futhi sibe ngabadali bokuthula kulo mhlaba. Ngoba thina, indalo entsha, benziwe ngomfanekiso waKhe. Kufanele sihambe njengoba uJesu ahamba, futhi nilandele isibonelo saKhe. Simelela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, futhi uyoletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kubantu, ngakho-ke sizoletha ukuthula kubantu (Funda futhi: ‘Abenzi bokuthula bakaNkulunkulu‘).
Ukuletha ukuthula ngokukhuluma amazwi afanele
Lapho sithela isithelo ukuthula, sizoletha ukuthula, ukuzola, nokuhleleka esikhundleni sesiphithiphithi. Singakuletha kanjani ukuthula kulo mhlaba? Ngokukhuluma amazwi alungile kaNkulunkulu, phezu kwempilo yomuntu, khona sizodala ukuthula.
Uma sikhuluma kabi ngabanye abantu, umsebenzi wethu, ibandla lethu, njll. sizohlwanyela amazwi amabi kasathane, futhi uvune ukubhujiswa kanye nesiyaluyalu. Uma senza lokhu, ke thina hhayi abenzi bokuthula, kufanele sibe. Ngakho-ke kufanele siqaphele amazwi esiwakhulumayo.

Ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awusiwo ukudla nokuphuza; kepha ukulunga, nokuthula, nenjabulo kuMoya oNgcwele (AmaRoma 14:17).
Umhlaba wawungenasimo, futhi ingenalutho ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu alethe ukuzwana. UNkulunkulu waletha ukuthula kulomhlaba. Isiqalo sendalo simelela uMbuso Wakhe; uMbuso wokuthula, ukuzwana, hlela, njll. Ngemva kokudalwa, lokhu kuthula okwadalwa nguNkulunkulu, waphazamiseka, ngoba umuntu akalalelanga umyalo kaNkulunkulu futhi wakholwa amazwi enyoka (isilwane) esikhundleni salokho.
U-Adamu no-Eva basilalela futhi basilalela isilwane(indalo), esikhundleni sokulalela uNkulunkulu (uBaba wabo, kanye noMdali).
Ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu kubangela isiyaluyalu
Ngokushesha ngemva kokungamlaleli uNkulunkulu, isono sangena emhlabeni, kwasekusifa umoya womuntu. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ngomusa waKhe omkhulu, wayesenalo ipulani B futhi kwaba njalo isithembiso senzalo lokho kungalimaza ikhanda lenyoka. UJesu kwakufanele eze, ukuze umuntu abuyisane noNkulunkulu, nokuthi umoya wabo uzophinde uphile. UJesu weza kulo mhlaba, ukudala ukuthula esiphithiphithi sesono nobubi. Ngakho-ke, UJesu uyiNkosi yokuthula;
Ngoba ngathi ingane iyazalwa, kithi indodana inikezwa: nombuso uyakuba semahlombe akhe: negama lakhe liyakuthiwa oMangalisayo, Umeluleki, UNkulunkulu Onamandla, Ubaba ophakade, INkosana Yokuthula (Isaya 9:6)
UJesu weza kulo mhlaba ukuzoletha ukuthula. Ukuthula akuletha kwakungekona ukuthula kwasemhlabeni, njengalokho amaJuda ayekulindele; ukukhululeka ekucindezelweni koMbuso WamaRoma. Kodwa uJesu weza ukuzoletha ukuthula kwasezulwini.
Uzele ukuzohlenga abantu, ekucindezelweni kukadeveli futhi abuyisele ubudlelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. Wabuyisela igunya (kumuntu ohlengiwe), eyayilahlekile phakathi Insimu yase-Edene.

UNkulunkulu wathi kuIsaya 48:18, ukuthi uma beyinakile imiyalo yaKhe, ukuthi ukuthula kwabo bekuzakuba njengomfula, lokulunga kwabo kube njengamagagasi olwandle.
