Ngakho makungabikho muntu onahlulela ngokudla, noma esiphuzweni, noma mayelana neholide, noma okwethwasa kwenyanga, kumbe ngezinsuku zesabatha: Okuyisithunzi sezinto ezizayo; kodwa umzimba ungokaKristu (AbaseKolose 2:16-17)
UJesu Kristu uphucile igunya lababusi namandla ombuso wobumnyama, obusa phezu kwesintu esiwile. UJesu uchithe imibuso namandla futhi wakwenza umboniso obala, enqoba phezu kwabo ngenkathi uJesu eba uMbambeli wesintu esiwile futhi ethwala izono zesintu phezu Kwakhe futhi waba yisiqalekiso esiphambanweni, uJesu angena ngalo eHayidese (isihogo) futhi wavuka njengoMnqobi kwabafileyo futhi wenyukela phezulu futhi senzeka esihlalweni sobukhosi ngakwesokunene sikaBaba.
Umuntu omusha uyalungisiswa kuJesu Kristu futhi uhlala esivumelwaneni esisha
Izono, eyahlukanisa umuntu noNkulunkulu futhi ibusa kanye nokufa enyameni, wathatha uJesu phezu kwaKhe futhi wamthwala enyameni Yakhe. Igazi likaJesu Kristu lenza inhlawulo yezono nobubi bawo wonke umuntu, okwathi ngokukholwa kuKristu bazalwe kabusha Kuye futhi babe isidalwa esisha.
Umuntu omusha akaphili esivumelwaneni Esidala, lapho okubusa umthetho wesono nokufa enyameni. Kodwa umuntu omusha, owafa enyameni, lomoya wakhe uvusiwe kwabafileyo, uhlala eSivumelwaneni Esisha, lapho okubusa umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu
Umuntu omusha uholwa nguMoya esikhundleni senyama futhi akadingi zonke izinhlobo zezimiso, imihlatshelo, imikhuba yokwanelisa inyama futhi balungisiswe futhi basindiswe.
Umuntu omusha ulungisiswa ngegazi likaJesu Kristu nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga hhayi ngomthetho. Inyama okubusa kuyo umthetho wesono nokufa, ufile kuKristu.
Inqobo nje uma umuntu omusha ehlala kuKristu, umuntu omusha uhlala esindisiwe (Funda futhi: ‘Uma usulondoloziwe njalo?')
Umthetho kaMose, umthetho wesono nokufa, lapho labo, ababengababantu bakaNkulunkulu (Israyeli), ingasindiswa, ayisasebenzi esivumelwaneni esisha, njengoba umthetho wesono nokufa wawuhloselwe (isimo se) umuntu omdala nenyama yakhe enesono.
Okuwukuphela kwengxenye yomthetho osasebenza eSivumelwaneni Esisha yintando kaNkulunkulu. Ingxenye yomthetho wokuziphatha, lokho uNkulunkulu athi kuhle nalokho uNkulunkulu akubona kubi, ukulunga, kanye nesono, lokho uNkulunkulu akwazise ngemiyalo Yakhe kuyosebenza njalo, njengoba base besebenza ngaphambi kokufika komthetho kaMose. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu nokulunga nesono kwase kukhona ngaphambi komthetho (Funda futhi: ‘Isono safika ngomthetho noma isono sasivele sikhona phambi komthetho?‘)
Kodwa zonke izimiso, izinsuku ezingcwele (amadili), imithetho yemihlatshelo, imithetho yokudla, imithetho yokuphuza, amasiko, njll. ezazihlobene nenyama, ukuze eneliseke enyameni, ukubuyisana, nokusindiswa kwenyama, azisasebenzi, ngoba inyama isifile kuKristu.
Ngakho makungabikho muntu onahlulela ngokudla nangokunathayo, noma mayelana neholide, noma okwethwasa kwenyanga, kumbe ngezinsuku zesabatha
Ngakho makungabikho muntu onahlulela ngokudla, noma esiphuzweni, noma mayelana neholide, noma okwethwasa kwenyanga, kumbe ngezinsuku zesabatha: Okuyisithunzi sezinto ezizayo; kodwa umzimba ungokaKristu (AbaseKolose 2:16-17)
UPawulu waxwayisa abangcwele ukuba bahlale kuKristu futhi bangavumeli muntu ukubahlulela ngokudla nangokuphuzwayo, noma mayelana neholide (idili), inyanga entsha, noma izinsuku zesabatha, ezaziyingxenye yeSivumelwano Esidala futhi zazihloselwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama, owayengowesizukulwane sendalo endala, njengoba zaziyisithunzi nje sezinto ezizayo futhi zikhomba kuJesu Kristu (Oh. IsiHebheru 8 futhi 10).
UPawulu wayefuna ukubavimbela ukuba babuyele enyameni naseSivumelwaneni Esidala futhi baphinde bathobele iziqalo zalomhlaba..
Umuntu omdala wayengenawo umoya futhi wehlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu futhi esimweni sakhe sokuwa futhi ngemvelo yakhe yokuwa umuntu omdala wayedinga imiyalelo., imithetho yemihlatshelo, imithetho yokudla, amadili (izinsuku ezingcwele), kanye nemikhuba yokuzihlukanisa nezwe futhi bahambe bengcwele futhi belungile entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Ngenxa yobuthakathaka benyama, onemvelo yesono, umuntu akakwazanga ukugcwalisa umthetho kaNkulunkulu, ngoba ukunaka kwenyama kungubutha kuNkulunkulu ngoba kayingaphansi kukaNkulunkulu nentando yakhe. Ngakho-ke inyama kwakufanele kusetshenzwe ngayo. Futhi uNkulunkulu wabhekana nenkinga yenyama ngokuthumela iNdodana Yakhe uJesu Kristu esenyameni nangomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga.
Kodwa umuntu omusha, ongaseyena owenyama kodwa ongokomoya futhi osesilisiwe (ephulukisiwe) futhi unesimo sikaNkulunkulu futhi unoMoya oNgcwele, uyayazi intando kaNkulunkulu ngoba ilotshiwe enhliziyweni yenyama yomuntu omusha. Inqobo nje uma umuntu omusha ehamba kuKristu elandela uMoya, umuntu omusha uphila entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Umzimba ungokaKristu
Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho, kumbe abaprofethi: angizanga ukuchitha;, kodwa ukugcwalisa. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Kuze kudlule izulu nomhlaba, Akusoze kwadlula gamana linye nasicashana sinye somthetho, kuze kugcwaliseke konke. Ngakho-ke oweqa owodwa kule miyalo emincinyane, futhi bayakufundisa abantu kanjalo, uyakuthiwa omncinyane embusweni weZulu: kodwa loba ngubani ozenzayo azifundise, lowo uyakuthiwa mkhulu embusweni weZulu. Ngoba ngithi kini, Ukuthi ngaphandle kokuba ukulunga kwenu kudlule ukulunga kwababhali nabaFarisi, anisoze nangena embusweni weZulu (Mathewu 5:17-20)
Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya. Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa. Ngoba lokho umthetho owawungakwazi ukukwenza, ngoba lalibuthakathaka ngenyama, UNkulunkulu ethumela iNdodana yakhe siqu isesimweni senyama enesono, langesono, walahla isono enyameni: Ukuze ukulunga komthetho kugcwaliseke kithi, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya (AmaRoma 8:1-4)
UJesu akezanga ukuzochitha umthetho, kodwa ukugcwalisa umlayo, njengoba umthetho wawumele ubunjalo nentando kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke uJesu ungukugcwaliseka komthetho nalabo, abazelwe kabusha kuye futhi bengaboMzimba Wakhe, iBandla, noJesu Kristu, uMesiya, UmPristi Ophakeme, kanye neNkosi, senikhululiwe emthethweni wesono nokufa ngomthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu nangokuhamba ngokukaMoya, bayakugcwalisa ukulunga komthetho, njengoJesu.
