KwabaseKolose 3:5-9, UPawulu wabhala, Ngakho bulalani amalungu enu asemhlabeni; ubufebe, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha, okungukukhonza izithombe: Ngaziphi izinto’ ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli: enanihamba kukho nani isikhathi esithile, lapho lanihlala kizo. Kodwa manje nani lahlani zonke lezi; intukuthelo, ulaka, ububi, ukuhlambalaza, Ukuxhumana okungcolile ngaphandle komlomo wakho. Ungalali nomunye komunye, lokhu nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nezenzo zakhe. Futhi ubeke indoda entsha, olwenziwa lusha ekwazini ngokomfanekiso walowo owamdalayo: Lapho kungekho khona umGreki noma umJuda, ukusoka nokungasoki, Iqaba, UmSkitiya, isibopho noma mahhala: kodwa uKristu uyikho konke, futhi kukho konke. Kusho ukuthini ukuthi amalungu akho aseMhlabeni asho ukuthini? Niwabulala kanjani amalungu enu asemhlabeni?
Isibopho somuntu omusha (indodana kaNkulunkulu)
Uma uvusiwe kanye noKristu futhi uhlezi kuye, niyakufuna okwaphezulu, lapho uKristu ehlezi khona, futhi hhayi izinto zalo mhlaba. Inguquko engokomoya (ukuzalwa okusha kuKristu) kuzobonakala empilweni yakho emhlabeni ngokukhumula umuntu omdala wembathe umuntu omusha.
UNkulunkulu akakunikanga kuphela igunya kuKristu namandla kaMoya oNgcwele, kodwa uNkulunkulu futhi ukunikile umthwalo wemfanelo woku (ngokomoya) nibulale amalungu enu emhlabeni futhi nisuse imisebenzi yenyama, ukuze inyama ingabe isabusa njengenkosi empilweni yakho futhi ikutshele okufanele ukwenze, futhi akwenze uhambe ngokwenyama ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe, kodwa ukuthi uKristu uyabusa njengeNkosi empilweni yakho futhi uhamba ngokulandela uMoya ngokulalela uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe (Funda futhi: Isono masingabe sisabusa njengenkosi!).
Lowo mthwalo wemfanelo unikezwe indoda entsha, futhi azikho izaba ezingabalula, ukukhulula umuntu omusha kulo msebenzi kanye nomsebenzi.
Ekekho neyodwa, othi ungumKristu futhi othi uzelwe kabusha unesikhundla esikhethekile futhi akafakwa.
Akekho onelungelo lokuqhubeka ehamba ngokungazi nokuba nomqondo wenyama, okuwubutha kuNkulunkulu futhi kuwukufa, futhi baphile njengabantwana bokungalaleli njengezitha zikaNkulunkulu kanye lokulunga kwakhe (Oh. Kwabase-Efesu 2:2; 4:18-19, 1 UPetru 1:14).
Ikhehla (indodana kasathane) ubethelwe kanye noKristu
Uma uthi uzelwe kabusha kuKristu, uyakuphila njengomuntu ozelwe kabusha, Ngubani ongokaNkulunkulu, njengoba imvelo yakho isishintshile.
Umthetho kaMoya wokuphila okuKristu Jesu ukukhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa. Ngakho-ke awusaphili ngaphansi komthetho wesono nokufa, obusa enyameni, ngoba inyama yenu ibethelwe kanye loKristu. Senikhululiwe kuKristu futhi niphila ngaphansi komusa nomthetho kaMoya wokuphila (AmaRoma 6:14; 8:1).
Lapho usumdala, ubuphila emhlabeni, kodwa ufile kuNkulunkulu, ngenxa yeziphambeko nezono zenu (Oh. Kwabase-Efesu 2:1-3, 1 UPetru 1:13-16).
Ubungowezwe ngakho-ke wahamba ngokwesifundo (indlela yokuphila) waleli zwe, NgokweNkosana Yamandla Emoya, Umoya osebenza manje ezinganeni zokungalaleli.
Umuntu omdala akayenzi intando kaNkulunkulu, kodwa intando kaSathane (umbusi walumhlaba), futhi uphila ngokulalela udeveli ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu ngokungakholwa.
Ikhehla lihamba ngezinkanuko zenyama, egcwalisa izinkanuko zenyama lezenyama (okwenyama) ingqondo, futhi ngokwemvelo ungumntwana wolaka (Kwabase-Efesu 2:1-3).
Umuntu omusha uvuswa ekufeni kuKristu
Sothini-ke? Siqhubeke esonweni, ukuze umusa wavame? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Sizokwenza kanjani, abafile esonweni, hlalani nisaba khona? Anazi nina, ukuthi sonke esabhabhathizelwa kuKristu Jesu, sabhabhathizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngakho-ke sembelwa kanye naye ngokubhapathizelwa ekufeni: ukuthi njengalokhu uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise, kanjalo nathi kufanele sihambe ekuphileni okusha.
Ngokuba uma sihlanyelwe kanye naye ekufananeni kokufa kwakhe, futhi siyoba sesimweni sokuvuka kwakhe: Ukwazi lokhu, ukuthi umuntu wethu omdala ubethelwe kanye Naye, ukuze umzimba wesono ubhujiswe, ukuze singabe sesikhonza isono. Ngoba ofileyo ukhululiwe esonweni. Manje uma sifile kanye noKristu, siyakholwa ukuthi siyakuphila futhi kanye naye: sisazi ukuthi uKristu esevusiwe kwabafileyo akasafi; ukufa akusenamandla phezu Kwakhe. Ngokuba wafa ngalokho, Wafa kanye esonweni: kodwa ekuphileni Yena, uphilela uNkulunkulu. Kanjalo nani zishoni ukuthi ningabafileyo impela esonweni, kodwa niphilele uNkulunkulu ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu
Ngakho-ke makungabusi isono emzimbeni wenu ofayo, ukuze lilalele izinkanuko zalo. futhi ninganikeli izitho zenu esonweni, zibe yizikhali zokungalungi: kodwa zinikeleni nina kuNkulunkulu, njengalabo abaphilayo kwabafileyo, nezitho zenu kuNkulunkulu zibe yizikhali zokulunga. Ngokuba isono asiyikubusa phezu kwenu: ngokuba aniphansi komthetho, kodwa ngaphansi komusa.
Yini-ke? sizokona yini, ngoba kasikho ngaphansi komthetho, kodwa ngaphansi komusa? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Anazi nina, ukuthi enizinikela kuye ukuba yizigqila zokumlalela, niyizinceku zakhe enimlalelayo; noma owesono kube ngukufa, kumbe elokulalela kube ngukulunga? (AmaRoma 6:1-16)
Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu nokuzalwa kabusha Kuye, umuntu omdala ufile kuKristu futhi umuntu omusha uvusiwe ekufeni kuKristu futhi wenziwa waphilela uNkulunkulu.
Umoya womuntu wenziwa waphila futhi uMoya uyobusa empilweni yomuntu omusha. Ngokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu nokulalela iZwi laKhe nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, umuntu omusha uyobulala amalungu asemhlabeni futhi abeke phansi imisebenzi yenyama futhi onakalise isono emandleni ayo., ngokungavumeli intando, izinkanuko, nezinkanuko zenyama, ningenzi phezu kwemicabango, abaphikisana namazwi kaNkulunkulu.
Uma usuyindoda entsha, anisayikufuna okusemhlabeni, nihlwanyele enyameni, nivune ukonakala, kodwa lizakufuna lezozinto, ezingaphezulu, zihlwanyele emoyeni, zithwale isithelo sikaMoya.
Awuseyona inceku yesono nokufa, kodwa senikhululiwe kuKristu, naba yizigqila zokulunga.
Ngakho anisayikunikela izitho zenu esonweni zibe yizikhali zokungalungi. Anisayikuvumela amalungu enu asemhlabeni ukuba anitshele okufanele nikwenze, kodwa esikhundleni sakho esisha kuKristu, niyothatha igunya phezu kwamalungu enu futhi nibulale amalungu enu asemhlabeni futhi nizinikele kuNkulunkulu namalunga enu njengezikhali zokulunga kuNkulunkulu..
Ayini amalungu akho, ezisemhlabeni?
Ngakho bulalani amalungu enu asemhlabeni; ubufebe, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha, okungukukhonza izithombe: Ngaziphi izinto’ ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli: enanihamba kukho nani isikhathi esithile, lapho lanihlala kizo (AbaseKolose 3:5-7)
Amalungu akho, ezisemhlabeni, ubufebe, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha, okungukukhonza izithombe.
Uma umKristu eqhubeka ehamba ebufebeni, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha, umuntu usengumuntu omdala hhayi umuntu omusha, kwazise umuntu usathela izithelo zomuntu omdala wenyama.
Kubalulekile ukuthi umuntu aphenduke futhi azalwe kabusha kuKristu, futhi ngoMoya ubulala amalungu akhe asemhlabeni.
KuKristu, niphiwe lonke igunya namandla okubulala amalungu enu emhlabeni futhi nisuse imisebenzi yenyama ngokumelana nodeveli, isono, nokufa ukuze bangabe besaba namandla phezu kwakho.
Kepha kukuwe, uma ufuna ukukwenza noma cha. Konke kuncike ekutheni uthando lwakho ngoJesu noBaba lunamandla yini kunothando lwakho ngenyama yakho (Funda futhi: Uyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke?).
Ukubulala amalungu akho asemhlabeni futhi ulahle imisebenzi yenyama yinto okufanele uyenze ngokwakho. Akekho omunye ongakwenzela lokho. Kuyisibopho sakho, uzophendula ngakho.
Kodwa uma ungalithathi igunya lakho kuKristu futhi ungawabulali amalungu akho asemhlabeni, khona-ke amalungu akho azokulimaza ekugcineni.
Ubahlukumeza kanjani amalungu akho, ezisemhlabeni?
Uma usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), angeke usazondla ngezinto zalomhlaba ezizovusa futhi ziqinise intando, nezinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama yenu.
Uyalazi iqiniso nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi uzoqaphela ukuthi uzihlanganisa nobani nezinto ozibandakanya nazo nokuthi wenzani.. Uzoqaphela okubukayo, lokho okulalelayo, okufundayo, njll.
Lapho uyeka ukuphakela inyama yakho futhi uthobe inyama, khona-ke izinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama aziyikuvuswa ziqiniswe kepha ziyakufa.
Uhlukumeza amalungu akho, ezisemhlabeni ngokubusa phezu kwezitho zenu nimelane nazo. Awunikeli kulokho okufunwa yintando yakho nezinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama yakho.
Umuntu omusha uyindodana kaNkulunkulu elalelayo
Kodwa manje nani lahlani zonke lezi; intukuthelo, ulaka, ububi, ukuhlambalaza, Ukuxhumana okungcolile ngaphandle komlomo wakho. Ungalali nomunye komunye, lokhu nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nezenzo zakhe. Futhi ubeke indoda entsha, olwenziwa lusha ekwazini ngokomfanekiso walowo owamdalayo: Lapho kungekho khona umGreki noma umJuda, ukusoka nokungasoki, Iqaba, UmSkitiya, isibopho noma mahhala: kodwa uKristu uyikho konke, futhi kukho konke (AbaseKolose 3:8-11).
Ngaphandle kokuthunaza amalungu, ezisemhlabeni (ubufebe, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha), nawe uyakuyeka ukuthukuthela, ulaka, ububi, ukuhlambalaza, Ukuxhumana okungcolile ngaphandle komlomo wakho, ngoba abangeni empilweni yomuntu omusha (Funda futhi: Lithini ibhayibheli ngendoda endala? futhi Limkhumule kanjani ikhehla?).
Ikhehla linamanga, njengobaba wakhe usathane, kepha umuntu omusha akasiye umqambimanga, kodwa ukhuluma iqiniso njengoYise. Ngakho-ke umuntu omusha akayikuqamba amanga, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi kwamanye amazwe ukuqamba amanga kubhekwa njengento evamile futhi kuyingxenye yesiko.
Udeveli usebenzisa amasiko ukwenza umsebenzi wakhe obhubhisayo futhi agcine abantu begqilazwe yizinto eziwubuwula zaleli zwe kanye nesono nokufa futhi alawule abantu ukuze benze lokho okufunwa udeveli futhi udeveli akhe isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi. (Funda futhi: Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane)
Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ukuthi wonke amasiko ayashabalala kuKristu. Kokubili imvelo endala yomuntu owile njengoba isiko liyashabalala kuKristu (Funda futhi: Wonke amasiko ayanyamalala kuKristu)
Akukho mehluko kuKristu
Ngoba ninabo bonke abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuKristu Jesu. Ngoba abaningi bakho njengoba ubhapathizwe kuKristu ngibeke kuKristu. Akekho umJuda noma isiGreki, Akukho bond futhi mahhala, Akekho owesilisa nowesifazane: ngoba nonke nina munye kuKristu Jesu (KwabaseGalathiya 3:26-28)
Ngakho bophani izinkalo zengqondo yenu, Yiba nesisindo, futhi lithembe kuze kube sekupheleni umusa elizalethwa kini ekwambulweni kukaJesu Kristu; Njengezingane ezilalelayo, lingazilungisi izinkanuko zenu zakuqala ekungazini kwenu: Kepha njengoba enikubizele yona ngcwele, Manje yiba ngcwele ngazo zonke izingxoxo; Ngoba kulotshiwe, Yiba Ngcwele; Ngoba ngingcwele (1 UPetru 1:13-16)
Ngenqubo yokungcweliswa, uyakwenza-musha ingqondo yakho ngeZwi, khumula umuntu omdala wembathe umuntu omusha, owenziwa musha ekwazini ngokomfanekiso walowo owamdalayo, lapho kungekho umGreki lomJuda, owesilisa noma owesifazane, ukusoka nokungasoki, Iqaba, UmSkitiya, isibopho noma mahhala, kodwa uKristu uyikho konke futhi ukubo bonke.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
