KuGenesise 3:4-5, sifunda ukuthi uKayini waletha isithelo somnikelo kuJehova. Umfowabo u-Abela naye waletha umnikelo wamazibulo ezimvu zakhe namanoni awo. UJehova wambheka u-Abela nomnikelo wakhe, kepha uKayini nomnikelo wakhe akawunakanga. Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange awuhloniphe umnikelo kaKayini, kodwa wawuhlonipha umnikelo ka-Abela? Wawuyini umehluko phakathi kukaKayini no-Abela neminikelo yabo? Ingabe umnikelo kaKayini wawungekho ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu noma wawungekho mayelana nomnikelo, kodwa sasikhona esinye isizathu esenza uNkulunkulu angawuhloniphi umnikelo kaKayini?
uKhayini wayengumlimi
Ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wamkhipha ensimini yase-Edene, ukulima umhlabathi athathwe kuwo. Wayixosha-ke indoda; wabeka amakherubi ngasempumalanga kwensimu yase-Edene, nenkemba evutha amalangabi ephenduka yonke indawo, ukugcina indlela yomuthi wokuphila.
Futhi u-Adamu wamazi umkakhe u-Eva; wakhulelwa, wazala uKayini, wathi, Ngithole indoda eNkosini. Waphinda wazala umfowabo u-Abela. u-Abela waba ngumalusi wezimvu, kepha uKayini waba ngumlimi womhlaba (Genesis 3:23-4:2)
Lapho uNkulunkulu esusa u-Adamu no-Eva ensimini kaNkulunkulu, UNkulunkulu wayala umuntu ukuba alime umhlabathi. U-Adamu wayengumlimi womhlaba. Wenza lokho uNkulunkulu amyale ngakho ukuthi akwenze.
Indoda yokuqala, owakhulelwa owesilisa nowesifazane, kwakunguKhayini. UKayini wayengumlimi, Njengo-Adamu, ubaba wakhe. UKayini wenza lokho uJehova ayemyale umuntu ukuba akwenze. Ngakho-ke, kwakungokomyalo nangentando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi uKayini wayengumlimi.
Yini eyayingalungile ngomnikelo kaKayini?
Futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwenzeka, ukuthi uKayini waletha ezithelweni zomhlabathi umnikelo kuJehova. Futhi u-Abela, naye waletha kuwo amazibulo ezimvu zakhe namanoni awo. UJehova wambheka u-Abela nomnikelo wakhe: Kepha uKayini nomnikelo wakhe akawunakanga. uKhayini wathukuthela kakhulu, ubuso bakhe bunyukubele (Genesis 4:3-5)
Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange awuhloniphe umnikelo kaKayini? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi isizathu sasiwukuthi indlela uKayini enza ngayo umnikelo yayingalungile noma ukuthi uKhayini akazange anikele ngezithelo ezifanele? Akukho lutho olulotshiwe eBhayibhelini mayelana nendlela yomhlatshelo. Akukho futhi okubhaliwe mayelana nokuthi uKhayini wanikela ngezibulo lesithelo sakhe noma cha.
Esikwaziyo nje emiBhalweni ukuthi uKayini waletha esithelweni somhlaba umnikelo eNkosini.
Ngokuphambene nomnikelo kaKayini, kuyashiwo eBhayibhelini ukuthi u-Abela waletha amazibulo omhlambi wakhe namanoni awo.
Kodwa ethi uKayini akazange anikeze izithelo ezifanele; izibulo lezithelo zakhe, kungaba umcabango kuphela.
Uma uKayini wanikela ngezibulo lezithelo zomhlaba, ingabe umnikelo kaKayini wamukeleka kuNkulunkulu?
Noma uma umnikelo ngokwawo wawungalungile futhi uKayini wayeyonikela ngezibulo lomhlambi ka-Abela, ingabe uNkulunkulu wayeyowujabulela umnikelo kaKayini futhi uNkulunkulu wayeyowuhlonipha umnikelo kaKhayini?
Ngokusobala akunjalo. Ngoba cishe kwakungaphathelene nomhlatshelo nomnikelo kaKayini, kodwa ngempilo kaKhayini.
Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange awuhloniphe umnikelo kaKhayini?
Ngokukholwa u-Abela wanikela kuNkulunkulu ngomhlatshelo omuhle kunokaKayini, athola ngakho ubufakazi bokuthi ulungile, UNkulunkulu efakaza ngezipho zakhe: futhi ngalo usakhuluma, nakuba efile (amaHebheru 11:4)
Isizathu esenza uNkulunkulu angawuhloniphi umnikelo kaKhayini kwakungenxa yokuthi uKhayini wayengalungile (-bi, -bi) futhi akalungile njengo-Abela. Ngomhlatshelo, kwabonakala ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu futhi angajabuliswa nguye.
Ngokuhlonipha umnikelo ka-Abela, UNkulunkulu wabonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayemjabulela u-Abela nemisebenzi yakhe yokulunga. Umnikelo owawuhlonishwa uNkulunkulu, wafakaza ukuthi u-Abela wayelungile. Futhi ngokungawuhloniphi umnikelo kaKhayini, UNkulunkulu wabonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengamjabuleli uKayini nemisebenzi yakhe emibi.
UKhayini wayengowomubi futhi akazange amlalele uNkulunkulu, kodwa walahla amazwi Akhe futhi akazange ahambe ngentando kaNkulunkulu. UKhayini wavukela futhi wenza ngokwentando yakhe. Ngenxa yobubi bakhe uNkulunkulu akazange awubheke umnikelo kaKhayini (Oh. 1 UJohane 3:12 (Funda futhi: Osafisa ukusebenza esivinini?)).
Umhlatshelo wababi uyisinengiso kuJehova
Umhlatshelo wababi uyisinengiso kuJehova: kepha umkhuleko wabaqotho uyinjabulo yakhe. Indlela yababi iyisinengiso kuJehova: kepha uthanda olandela ukulunga (Izaga 15:8-9)
Umhlatshelo wababi uyisinengiso: kakhulu kangakanani, lapho eliletha ngomqondo omubi? (Izaga 21:27)
Abantu bangadela futhi banikele ngakho konke abakufunayo, kodwa uma ukuphila kwabo kungahambisani nentando kaNkulunkulu, kodwa babi njalo baphikelela esonweni, yonke imihlatshelo yabo iyakuba yisinengiso kuJehova.
AmaKristu angathandaza kahle phambi kwabanye. Bangathandaza ngokwezindlela zomkhuleko kanye namasu futhi basebenzise wonke amagama alungile, kodwa uma izinhliziyo zabo zingalungile phambi kukaJehova futhi bengamlaleli uNkulunkulu futhi bengahambi ngokulalela imiyalo yakhe., okuyimiyalo futhi kaJesu, futhi umele intando yaKhe, khona-ke iNkosi ayiyikuthokoza emikhulekweni yabo, kepha imikhuleko yabo iyakuba yisinengiso kuNkulunkulu (O.A. Izaga 28:9, Isaya 1:11-20; 19:13, UHezekeli 8:15-18, Hoseya 6:6-7, uZakariya 7:11-13, Mathewu 15:8, UJohane 9:31).
Umhlatshelo kaJesu wamjabulisa uNkulunkulu
Ngakho-ke nxa efika emhlabeni, Utusi, Umhlatshelo nomnikelo awuwuthandanga, kodwa Ungilungisele umzimba: Iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yesono awuyithandanga. Ngase ngithi, Bhekana, ngiyeza (emqulwini wencwadi kulotshiwe ngami,) ukwenza intando yaKho, O kuhle.
Ngenhla lapho Esho, Umhlatshelo, nomnikelo, neminikelo yokushiswa, nomnikelo wesono, awuwuthandanga, futhi kabangathokozi ngakho; ezinikelwa ngumthetho; Wase ethi, Bhekana, ngiza ukwenza intando yaKho, O kuhle. Ususa owokuqala, ukuze amise okwesibili. Ngaleyo ntando singcwelisiwe ngokunikelwa komzimba kaJesu Kristu kanye kuphela (amaHebheru 10:5-10)
Ukuphila kukaJesu Kristu kwakuwumhlatshelo ojabulisa kakhulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba uJesu wahamba elalela intando kaYise.
Ngoba uJesu wahamba entandweni kaBaba, UJesu wawugcwalisa umthetho (Funda futhi: Ingabe umuntu uyakwazi ukugcwalisa umthetho?).
UJesu walalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu kwaze kwafika isikhathi lapho uJesu enikelwa khona njengeWundlu elingenabala ngenxa yesintu., futhi uJesu wathwala ukungalaleli komuntu futhi wenziwa isono esiphambanweni (Funda futhi: Ingabe isenzo sokucasula sika-Adamu sinamandla kunesenzo sikaJesu sokulunga? futhi Kusho ukuthini ukungamlaleli uNkulunkulu?).
Kodwa ngenxa yempilo kaJesu elungile, UNkulunkulu wawujabulela umhlatshelo weNdodana yakhe futhi uNkulunkulu wawuhlonipha umhlatshelo kaJesu negazi laKhe, owahlenga umuntu owileyo. Lokhu kwabonakala ngokuvuswa kwabafileyo (Oh. UJohane 3:14-21, AmaRoma 5. Kwabase-Efesu 5:1-2, amaHebheru 9:27-28).
Umnikelo othokozisayo kuNkulunkulu
Ngiyakuncenga ngakho-ke, bazalwane, Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, Ukuthi nilethe imizimba yenu umhlatshelo ophilayo, '-ngcwele, Kuyamukeleka kuNkulunkulu, okuyinkonzo yakho enengqondo. Futhi ningalingisi leli zwe: kodwa liguqulwe ngokwenziwa ibentsha ingqondo yenu, ukuze nihlole lokho okuhle, futhi eyamukelekayo, futhi ephelele, intando kaNkulunkulu (AmaRoma 12:1-2)
NjengoJesu, ukuphila kwamaKristu kufanele kube umhlatshelo othokozisayo kuNkulunkulu. Amakholwa kufanele anikele imizimba yawo ibe ngumnikelo ophilayo kuNkulunkulu, '-ngcwele, Kuyamukeleka kuNkulunkulu, ukuze uJesu Kristu aphakanyiswe futhi uYise akhazinyuliswe.
Ngomhlatshelo kaJesu Kristu nangegazi Lakhe, wenziwa ulungile futhi ungcwele futhi ungokaNkulunkulu futhi awuseyena okadeveli nobumnyama. Ngoba senziwe olungileyo kuKristu futhi wamukela isimo sikaNkulunkulu, uyohamba ekulungeni entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Impilo yakho ingumnikelo othokozisayo kuNkulunkulu uma uhamba entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi ugcine imiyalo Yakhe (Funda futhi: Imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo kaJesu futhi Imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ngokumelene nemiyalo kadeveli).
Uma ugcina imiyalo yaKhe, uzohamba othandweni. Ukuhamba othandweni akusho ukuyekethisa nobumnyama nokubekezelela nokuvuma imisebenzi yobumnyama. Kodwa ukuhamba othandweni kusho ukulalela uNkulunkulu nemiyalo yaKhe, ukuze uphile entandweni Yakhe futhi ukuphila kwakho kube ngumnikelo othokozisayo kuNkulunkulu.
