Kodwa la maKristu ayazikhohlisa futhi aphila ngamanga. Ngoba uma lokho kungaba yiqiniso, pho kungani uJesu, Usakhemvamela, UPetru, UJohane, UJames, njll. xwayisa amakholwa futhi wabayala ukuthi bafulathele isono? UPawulu waze wayala abangcwele, lokungabi lenhlanganyelo labangakholwayo labakholwayo, abajwayele phila esonweni (1 AbaseKorinte 5:11, 2 AbaseKorinte 6:4). Ukube amaKristu ayengeke akwazi ukona, pho kungani bengabhala ngakho? Kungani uJesu ayala amabandla ayisikhombisa ukuba phenduka eNcwadini yeSambulo?
Ngaphandle kwalokho, uma uphendukile ezonweni zakho futhi ukholwa ukuthi uJesu ukukhululile esonweni kanye nezakho imvelo yesono, anisayikuhamba esonweni. Ngoba uma uqhubeka uhamba esonweni, uphenduke ngani? Futhi kulokho uJesu akukhulule khona?
Ingabe ukhululiwe esonweni nasemandleni obumnyama?
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 sembelwa kanye naye ngokubhapathizelwa ekufeni: ukuthi njengalokhu uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise, kanjalo nathi kufanele sihambe ekuphileni okusha (AmaRoma 6:1-2)
Uma uphendukile ngokweqiniso futhi uma ukhululwe ngempela esonweni nasemandleni obumnyama kanye nesikhathi sakho esidlule esonweni, futhi wabeka phansi inyama yakho futhi wemukela isimo Sakhe; UMoya waKhe oNgcwele, Ngokuvuselelwa kabusha, khona-ke anisayikuhamba ngokwenyama ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu ebumnyameni nokwenza okubi (isono).

Lapho uzalwa kabusha kabusha, ungokaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu ube nguYihlo ngakho-ke niyakuba mlalele emoyeni futhi ngenze imisebenzi Yakhe.
Empilweni, kunezilingo eziningi zenyama, okungaholela esonweni. Ake sibheke ezinye izilingo.
Ungamelana kanjani nesilingo samandla?
U-Adamu no-Eva badalwa ngokuphelele ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Babenomoya futhi belandela umoya. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayenike u-Adamu no-Eva inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Ngenxa yalokho, babenamandla okuba Ungalaleli uNkulunkulu. U-Adamu no-Eva balandela umoya kwaze kwaba yilapho uSathane esondela kubo esebenzisa inyoka futhi wabalinga enyameni ukuba bone..

Ungamelana kanjani nesilingo sokudla?
U-Esawu wayeyizibulo lika-Isaka futhi wazuza ilungelo lobuzibulo likayise. Nokho, ngomzuzwana wobuthakathaka, lapho u-Esawu walamba, U-Esawu wabheka inkanuko yakhe yenyama njengebalulekile kunobuzibulo bakhe. Ngakho-ke, U-Esawu wanana ngesihle ubuzibulo bakhe ngokudla (inyama) wathengisa ngobuzibulo bakhe kumfowabo omncane uJakobe.
Ngaleso sikhathi, U-Esawu akazange acabangele ubuzibulo bakhe nomusa, uNkulunkulu ayemnike uEsawu, eliyigugu nelibalulekile. Kodwa u-Esawu wayengenandaba nobuzibulo bakhe. Inkanuko yenyama ka-Esawu yayibaluleke kakhulu kunomusa kaNkulunkulu nangesenzo sakhe, U-Esawu wala uNkulunkulu. Isenzo sika-Esawu sasiyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu (UMalaki 1:3, AmaRoma 9:13, IsiHebheru 12:16)
Ungamelana kanjani nesilingo sabesifazane?
Nakuba uNkulunkulu ayemise uSamsoni ngenjongo ekhethekile, USamsoni wayethanda abesifazane. USamsoni wembula imfihlo yakhe kowesifazane ongaziwa ongathembekile ngoba uthando lwakhe ngabesifazane lwalungaphezu kothando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu. Lapho umkaSamsoni uDelila ebuza uSamsoni kabili ngemfihlo yamandla kaSamsoni, USamsoni waqamba amanga kabili kuDelila. Ngezenzo zikaDelila; ngokukhaphela uSamsoni, USamsoni wayengazi, ukuthi uDelila wayengathembekile futhi engamthandi uSamsoni. Kodwa uSamsoni wayenobuthakathaka ngoDelila futhi waphuphuthekiswa uthando lwakhe ngaye. Lapho uDelila ebuza uSamsoni okwesithathu, USamsoni wembula imfihlo yamandla akhe. Ngakho isenzo sikaSamsoni saba ukuwa kwakhe.
USolomoni wayethanda nabesifazane abangabazi. Nakuba uNkulunkulu wayemyalile ukuba angazihlanganisi nabesifazane abangaziwa, USolomoni akakwazanga ukumelana nesilingo sabesifazane abahle abangaziwa futhi wagcwalisa izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yakhe. Ukungalaleli kwakhe uNkulunkulu kwamenza wawa (Funda futhi: ‘‘Ungena kanjani endleleni eya ekubhujisweni?‘).
UDavida wayeyindoda elandela inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngisho nasempilweni kaDavide, kwaba nomzuzwana wobuthakathaka. Ngomzuzwana wobuthakathaka, UDavide wayeholwa imizwa yakhe yenyama nezinkanuko zobulili nezifiso.

Ukuziphatha kukaDavide kwakuyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu. Nakuba uDavide wayeyindoda elandela inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, UNkulunkulu wamjezisa uDavide ngezenzo zakhe.
Ungamelana kanjani nesilingo semali nengcebo?
UJuda Iskariyothe wayethanda imali. Nakuba uJuda wayengumfundi kaJesu Kristu futhi wenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, Judas’ uthando lwemali lwalungaphezu kothando lwakhe ngeNkosi yakhe. Ngoba 30 izingcezu zesiliva, UJudas wahweba iNkosi yakhe (Mathewu 26:14-16).
Lezi ngezinye zezibonelo eziningi eziseBhayibhelini, lapho intando yomuntu kanye nokugcwalisa izinkanuko zenyama nezifiso zenyama kwakubaluleke kakhulu kunokuthanda nokulalela uNkulunkulu.. Nakuba izibonelo, okubalulwe ngenhla, zibandakanya indalo endala; ikhehla, asekhona amakholwa amaningi namuhla, abaqhubeka bephila ngokwenyama futhi baqhubeka bephila esonweni.
Uthando abanalo ngokwabo kanye nokufeza izidingo zabo zenyama lukhulu kunothando lwabo ngoJesu Kristu noNkulunkulu uBaba. Ngenxa yalokho amaKristu amaningi ‘athengisa’ ubuzibulo babo njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu ukuze bafeze izinkanuko nezifiso zabo zenyama. Babheka ukuzijabulisa kwabo kwesikhashana nokufeza izinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama yabo njengokubaluleke kakhulu kunokulalela uJesu Kristu noYise futhi baqhubeke behamba ngokukaMoya ebungcweleni..

Ukufeza injabulo yesikhashana yenyama kungaba nemiphumela emikhulu. Kuyo yonke ibhayibheli, sifunda ngemiphumela yokuhamba ngokwenyama nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu.
Hhayi kuphela eTestamenteni Elidala, kodwa naseTestamenteni Elisha, sifunda ngamakholwa, owayeseyisidalwa esitsha, kodwa wahlubuka ekukholweni, ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi uthando lwabo ngabo siqu nezwe lwalungaphezu kothando lwabo ngoNkulunkulu. Ngeshwa, kulezi zinsuku akukho okushintshile ngempela (Funda futhi: ‘Ngizokunika ingcebo yezwe’).
Amahlazo phakathi kwamaKristu
Kungani kwenzeka amahlazo amaningi kangaka phakathi kwamaKristu? Kungani amaKristu amaningi kangaka, kuhlanganise nabaholi bamabandla, ukuwa? Ngoba amaKristu amaningi ahlala enyameni futhi aqhubeka ephila ngokwenyama futhi aholwa yinyama yawo; izinzwa, imizwa, imizwelo, okwenyama (okomhlaba) ingqondo, intando, izinkanuko, izifiso, njll. Bacabanga ukuthi balandela umoya, kodwa eqinisweni, bahlezi esihlalweni sezimpilo zabo futhi baholwa yizinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yabo. Basebenzisa umusa kaNkulunkulu ukuze baqhubeke belandela intando yabo futhi bashalazele izenzo zabo, Ohamba Ngokuphikisana Nentando KaNkulunkulu. Kepha empeleni, bona lahla umusa kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yezinkanuko lezinkanuko zenyama yabo, Njengo-Esawu.
AmaKristu amaningi awakhi ukholo lwawo phezu kweZwi futhi awahlali elalela iZwi, esikhundleni salokho, bayazulazula, ngoba bathembele ekuqondeni kwabo siqu nasekuqondeni nasekuhlakanipheni nasekwazini kwezwe.
Ngokushesha nje isilingo (ithuba kanye nesimemo esonweni) kuvela ezimpilweni zabo, njengamandla, udumo, imali, ingcebo, abantu, isintu, Izingane, njll., bayanqotshwa futhi bafeze izinkanuko nezifiso zabo zenyama.
Bakhuluma futhi benze ngokuzithoba nangomusa phambi kwabantu. Abanye bangaba othisha noma benze umzamo wokufinyelela futhi bathandaze futhi babeke izandla phezu kwabagulayo.
Kodwa uma sebesekhaya, baphila enye impilo yonke, efihliwe ezweni langaphandle. Impilo, egcwele ukungcola kobulili, ukuphinga, ukuphunisa, intukuthelo, udlame, ukuhaha, inkohliso, ubuwanqa, ukusebenzelana nemimoya, enye imithi, i-yoga, Umbukiso wezokulwa, ukugembula, ukugembula njll.
Abanandaba nenhlalakahle engokomoya yamanye amaKristu nokuthi i-ajenda yabo efihliwe inamiphi imiphumela ezimpilweni zamaKristu.. Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi abakho ngokomoya futhi baholwa yinyama yabo, abazi ukuthi ukubekwa kwabo izandla ezingcolile kunamuphi umphumela ezimpilweni zabanye.
Ababoni, ukuthi ngokubeka izandla ezingcolile badlulise imimoya engcolile elawula ukuphila kwabo, ezimpilweni zabanye. Kunalokho, bahlala beyizigqila zesono futhi baqhubeka befeza izinkanuko nezifiso zabo zenyama futhi bajabulela injabulo yabo yesikhashana.
Kodwa lena akuyona impilo, lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlosile ngendalo entsha; umuntu omusha. UNkulunkulu akazange anikele ngeNdodana yaKhe ukuze amaKristu akwazi ukuqhubeka ehamba ngokuvumelana nenyama futhi aqhubeke ephila esonweni.
UJesu akazange anikeze imvume yokona
UJesu akazange anikeze imvume yokona, kodwa uJesu wafa ukuze abhekane nesono nemvelo yesono yomuntu omdala. UNkulunkulu unike wonke umuntu amandla namandla okuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu kuJesu Kristu, Ngokuvuselelwa kabusha, nokuhamba njengendodana kaNkulunkulu ngokwentando Yakhe ekulungeni nasebungcweleni. Unikeze konke esidalweni esisha. Ukuze, isidalwa esisha sasizokwazi ukuqhubeka silandela umoya futhi simelane nazo zonke izilingo enyameni.
Ngeshwa, emasontweni amaningi kugxilwa kakhulu ekubonakalisweni kwamandla angaphezu kwemvelo kanye nezikamoya, izimpawu nezimangaliso, ukuchuma, kanye nokuzicebisa 'ngokwami', Esikhundleni sokufa 'ukuzenzela', ukungcweliswa, futhi sakha umlingiswa owesaba uNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yalokhu, amaKristu amaningi awalwakhi ukholo lwawo kuJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi ungavuthiwe emoyeni. Kodwa ukholo lwabo lwakha phezu kwemizwa yabo, imizwelo, okuhlangenwe nakho, kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho nokuhlakanipha kwamanye amaKristu.
Ngokushesha lapho izilingo ziphakama, abakwazi ukuma futhi bahlale belalela uNkulunkulu futhi bamelane nesilingo, kodwa bazinikela ekulingweni kwenyama yabo baqhubeke bona.
Ukuntula amandla
AmaKristu amaningi awanandaba nesono futhi awabuboni ububi nobubi besono. Bayakwazi ukuthi isono asisihle, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi abanengi kabayibomoya, abawuboni umphumela we isono ezimpilweni zabantu. Balokhu bona, ngenhloso futhi ube nengqondo ye: “kulungile ke, akunandaba noma ngenza iphutha. Ngiyaphenduka nje ngicela intethelelo uJesu uzongixolela. Kulula kanjalo.”
Kodwa lokhu kuwumqondo obuthakathaka kanye nokuntuleka kwamandla obuntu bendoda endala, obuswa yinyama yakhe futhi engakwazi ukumelana nezilingo zenyama, eziphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu. Njengoba nje ufundile ezibonelweni ezingenhla zekhehla.
Kodwa isibonelo sethu nguJesu Kristu, Owahamba emva kukaMoya futhi wamelana nazo zonke izilingo. Iningi lamakholwa alizange limelane kwaze kwaba segazini, kodwa bavumele inyama yabo ibuse ukuphila kwabo (IsiHebheru 12:4). Lokho kungenxa yokuthi azigxilile kuJesu Kristu futhi azikho ngokomoya, futhi ungawuboni umphumela wesono.
Ungamelana kanjani nesilingo?
Ngakho zithobeni kuNkulunkulu. Melana nosathane, futhi uyonibalekela (UJames 4:7)
Izilingo ziphuma enhliziyweni engaphenduki futhi zenzeka enyameni. Inqobo nje uma inyama ingabethelwa futhi ibekwe kuKristu, umuntu uyohlala eyindalo endala futhi uyovumela izifiso nezinkanuko zenyama futhi aqhubeke ephila esonweni.
Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokumelana nesilingo ukubeka phansi inyama bese uzithoba kuJesu; iZwi futhi uqhubeke uhamba emva kweZwi noMoya, futhi ungazibandakanyi nezinto zalo mhlaba. Uma nje uhlala kuKristu futhi uqhubeka uhamba ngokulandela umoya ngeke ufeze izinkanuko zenyama. Ukulandela umoya kusho ukuthi ulandela intando kaNkulunkulu, okulotshwe eZwini. Kungakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukufunda nokwazi iZwi laKhe kanye noku vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi, ukuze, uzomazi futhi uthole ukuthi iyini ngempela intando Yakhe. Kuphela uma uthola ukwazi intando Yakhe, uzokwazi ukwenza intando Yakhe. Ngoba ngaphandle kweZwi likaNkulunkulu, akunakwenzeka ukwazi intando Yakhe futhi ngalokho, ngeke ukwazi ukuphila ngemva kwentando Yakhe.
Inhloso yawo wonke amakholwa wukuba njengoJesu. Lokhu akusho ukuthi kufanele ufune futhi ufune amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, futhi ugxile ezimpawini, izimanga, nezimangaliso. Ngoba uma wenza, khona-ke ngeke kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphambili umoya wenkathi entsha izolawula ingqondo yakho nempilo yakho. Kufanele uqaphe kakhulu, ngezinto ozibandakanya kuzo.
Kodwa ukuhamba njengoJesu kusho, ukuhamba othandweni lokuzidela. Lokhu kusho ukuthi unayo Ubethele inyama yakho nentando yakho kuJesu Kristu futhi uphile ngokwentando Yakhe. Ngoba, kusho ukuthini uma wena thanda uJesu noNkulunkulu uBaba ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu, umphefumulo, kanye nengqondo.
Ukuhamba othandweni kusho, ukuthi nilalele uBaba kukho konke futhi nenze lokho athanda ukuba nikwenze.
uzosizonda isono, NjengoNkulunkulu, uJesu, noMoya oNgcwele, ngakho-ke niyakufulathela isono
Ukulandela uJesu kusho uku alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka umuntu omusha, owadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Kusho ukuthuthukisa isimilo sokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu nokuhamba ngobungcwele nobuqotho, umelana nesilingo, futhi ningoni. Ukuze, uphakamisa iGama likaJesu futhi uhlale uthembekile kuJesu futhi uhloniphe uBaba. Izibonakaliso nezimangaliso zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu zizokulandela ngokuzenzakalelayo. Kodwa ungabuyisi, ngoba masinyane wenza lokho, ukuziqhenya kuzovela futhi kubonakale empilweni yakho.
UJesu wamelana kanjani nesilingo?
Njengoba sinomphristi omkhulu kakhulu, lokho kudluliswa ezulwini, UJesu Ndodana KaNkulunkulu, Masibambe ngokushesha umsebenzi wethu. Ngokuba asinaye umpristi omkhulu ongenakuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu; kepha wawunawo wonke amaphuzu alingwa njengathi sinjalo, Kodwa-ke ngaphandle kwesono (amaHebheru 4:14-15)
UJesu walingwa ngazo zonke izindlela; ukudla, abantu, amandla, ingcebo, udumo, isimo, imali, ukuziqhenya, njll., kodwa uJesu akenzanga isono. UJesu wamelana nazo zonke izilingo ngoba uJesu wayelazi iZwi neZwi intando kaBaba Wakhe futhi uJesu wayebeke inyama Yakhe phansi komoya waKhe.
uJesuwayethanda uNkulunkulu uBaba phezu kwakho konke ngakho-ke uthando Lwakhe ngoYise lwalungaphezu kothando ayenalo Ngaye kanye nenyama Yakhe.
UJesu wayazi, ukuthi ukuzijabulisa kwenyama kwakungokwesikhashana nje futhi uJesu wayazi ukuthi imiphumela yayiyoba yini uma evumela izilingo., okungukuthi ukulalela udeveli, ekhothama kuye, nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu okubangela ukwehlukana noNkulunkulu.
UJesu wanikela ngempilo Yakhe ngenxa yothando ngoBaba Wakhe futhi wakhonza uYise. Ngenxa yothando Lwakhe olukhulu ngoBaba Wakhe, nangokubona uthando lukaBaba ngesintu, UJesu wakhonza umuntu futhi wanikela ngokuphila Kwakhe; Igazi lakhe kubo.
