Kodwa kungani uNkulunkulu waloba umthetho wakhe etsheni? Kungani kwadingeka ukuthi imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ibhalwe etsheni? Zisho ukuthini izibhebhe zamatshe eBhayibhelini?
UNkulunkulu wabhala umthetho waKhe ezibhebheni zamatshe
INKOSI yasisithi kuMose, Khuphukela kimi entabeni, futhi ube lapho: ngiyakukunika izibhebhe zamatshe, kanye nomthetho, nemiyalo engiyibhalile; ukuze ubafundise (Eksodusi 24:12)
UNkulunkulu waloba imiyalo eyishumi ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe ngomunwe waKhe. UNkulunkulu wembula Intando yakhe futhi wenza intando yaKhe ibonakale kubantu baKhe. Lezi zibhebhe zamatshe zazimelela inhliziyo yetshe yabantu benyama, ababesamile Indalo endala.
Umoya’ Umsebenzi wawuwukufundisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu umthetho nemiyalo Yakhe, ukuze bonke bazi intando Yakhe.
Wonke umuntu wayeyazi intando yaKhe, kodwa kwaba kulowo nalowo kubo uma begcina imiyalo yakhe ezinhliziyweni zabo, futhi uhambe endleleni yaKhe.
Naphezu kweqiniso, ukuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu babeyazi intando Yakhe, futhi ngenhliziyo yonke wathembisa ukukwenza, lokho iNkosi eyabayala ukuthi bakwenze, abaningi baphila ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu.
Abantu babeyazi intando Yakhe ngomthetho Wakhe nemiyalo Yakhe. Kodwa naphezu kwalolu lwazi, baphila ngokubona kwabo nangokwentando yabo. Baqhubeka benza izinto ezibathokozisayo, esikhundleni sokwenza izinto ezingajabulisa uNkulunkulu. Babezithanda ngaphezu kwakho konke. Yebo, ngisho nangaphezu kweNkosi.
Inhliziyo yetshe yathathelwa indawo inhliziyo yenyama
50 izinsuku emva kokubethelwa kaJesu Kristu, ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kwenzeka. Umoya womuntu, owayebhajwe enyameni lengaphansi kwegunya lokufa, wavuswa kwabafileyo, ngobhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele.
Ngosuku lwePentekosti, indalo entsha yadalwa. Lesi sidalwa esisha sasingasenayo inhliziyo yetshe, ngoba inhliziyo yetshe yayingeyendalo endala. UNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe, wasusa inhliziyo yetshe wanikeza inhliziyo yenyama.
Wonke umuntu, owayezoba indalo entsha kuJesu Kristu, phakathi kwa- Ukuzalwa okusha, angathola inhliziyo entsha; inhliziyo yenyama.
Futhi ngizobanika inhliziyo eyodwa, ngiyakufaka umoya omusha phakathi kwenu; futhi ngiyokhipha inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yabo, futhi uyobanika inhliziyo yenyama: Ukuze bahambe ngezimiso Zami, futhi nigcine izimiso Zami, futhi uzenze: bayakuba ngabantu bami, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo. Kepha labo abanhliziyo yabo ilandela izinhliziyo zezinto zabo ezinengekayo nezinengiso zabo, ngiyakwehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwamakhanda abo, isho iNkosi uJehova (UHezekeli 11:19-21)
Phenduka, nibuye kuzo zonke iziphambeko zenu; ngakho ububi abuyikuba incithakalo yenu. Lahlani kini zonke iziphambeko zenu, nene ngalo; futhi anenze inhliziyo entsha nomoya omusha: ngoba lizafelani, O ndlu ka-Israyeli? Ngokuba angithokozi ngokufa kofayo, isho iNkosi uJehova: ngakho-ke phendukani, futhi niphile nina (UHezekeli 18:30-32)
“ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, futhi uzibhale ezinhliziyweni zabo”
Futhi ngizokunika inhliziyo entsha, ngiyakufaka umoya omusha phakathi kwenu: ngiyakususa inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yenu, ngiyakuninika inhliziyo yenyama. Futhi ngizofaka umoya wami ngaphakathi kwakho, futhi kubangele ukuba uhambe ngezimiso zami, Niyakugcina Ukwahlulela Kwami, futhi uzenze. Niyakuhlala ezweni engalinika oyihlo; niyakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu (UHezekeli 36:26-27)
Ngoba yilesi isivumelwano engizasenza lendlu kaIsrayeli ngemva kwalezonsuku, isho iNkosi; ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, futhi uzibhale ezinhliziyweni zabo: mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bazakuba ngabantu kimi: Futhi kabayikufundisa ngulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe, yilowo nalowo umfowabo, ethi, Yazi iNkosi: ngoba bonke bazangazi, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu. Ngoba ngizakuba lesihawu ukungalungi kwabo, nezono zabo nobubi babo angisayikukukhumbula (amaHebheru 8:10-12)
Ukushintsha kwenhliziyo kubangela ushintsho emvelweni
NgokusebenzisaUkuzalwa okusha, umoya womuntu uyavuswa kwabafileyo futhi uphile. Lapho umuntu ezalwa futhi, umuntu uyonikwa inhliziyo entsha. Leyonhliziyo entsha izodala ushintsho emvelweni.
Inhliziyo yetshe, ababehlala behlubuka kuNkulunkulu kanye nentando Yakhe nemiyalo Yakhe, izothathelwa indawo inhliziyo yenyama. Le nhliziyo yenyama inesimo kanye nentando kaNkulunkulu. Intando kaNkulunkulu; Umthetho wakhe ulotshiwe enhliziyweni yakho entsha yenyama.
Nina niyincwadi yethu ebhalwe ezinhliziyweni zethu, eyaziwa futhi ifundwa yibo bonke abantu: Njengoba nibonakalisiwe ukuthi niyincwadi kaKristu esiyikhonzayo, ebhaliwe kungengeyinki, kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo; hhayi ezibhebheni zamatshe, kodwa ezibhebheni zenhliziyo zenyama(2 AbaseKorinte 3:3)
Lapho ubhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele, Imvelo kaNkulunkulu iba yimvelo yakho.
UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kuwe futhi uxhumana nomoya wakho. You lalela Him, futhi uhambe emva kwentando Yakhe njengendalo entsha; indodana kaNkulunkulu.
Indalo entsha ayihambi ngokuhlubuka nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu uBaba. Kodwa indalo entsha izozithoba eZwini likaNkulunkulu; uJesu, futhi uzophila ngemva intando kababa, njengoJesu.
Indalo entsha ngeke ilimaze uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, ngokuhlala esonweni, nokwenza lezo zinto ezimjabulisayo. Indalo entsha iyokwenza lezo zinto kuphela, okujabulisa uBaba ukuze aphakanyiswe futhi akhazinyuliswe. Ngoba indalo entsha ithanda uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke ingqondo yakhe, inhliziyo, umphefumulo, namandla (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe uyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke?‘).
Indalo entsha ijabulisa uBaba noJesu Kristu
Ngoba indalo entsha ithanda uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yayo, ingqondo, umphefumulo, namandla, indalo entsha iyo gcwalisa umthetho kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba umthetho kaNkulunkulu awulutho ngaphandle kwentando Yakhe. Intando yakhe isikhona kakade, ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu enze intando Yakhe yaziwe, kuMose nakubantu baKhe.
Ngakho siyawenza ize umthetho ngokukholwa? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele: yebo, Sisungula umthetho (AmaRoma 3:31)
UNkulunkulu usinike iZwi lakhe futhi uma siphila ngokweZwi laKhe noMoya wakhe, futhi senze lokho uJesu asiyale ukuba sikwenze futhi ngalokho sigcine imiyalo yakhe, khona-ke sizokwenza gcwalisa umthetho futhi ujabulise uBaba noJesu Kristu.
