Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi uma wephula umthetho uthola inhlawulo. Uma ushayela futhi weqa umkhawulo wesivinini, futhi bephule umthetho, ungase uthole umvuzo ngesenzo sakho futhi uthole inhlawulo. Many people complain when they receive a fine. Kodwa bakhohlwa into eyodwa… they are responsible for the choice they’ve made to exceed the speed limit and violate the law. Ngakho-ke, they are responsible for the fine and no one else. The law contains many rules. People know what is allowed (legal) and what is not allowed (illegal). The law creates clarity and if everyone keeps the law, it creates unanimity. But there are always people, who rebel and make their own laws and put themselves above the law. They decide how fast they will drive and ignore the traffic signs. They decide to ignore red traffic lights and the parking meters. Although they blame the police and/or parking attendants for their rebellious behavior, they have no right to do that. If they decide to disobey the law and do their own will, they should also bear the consequences of their decision and behavior and pay the price for their actions. This also applies to the Kingdom of God and the violation of God’s commandment through the disobedience of one man, whereby everyone has to pay the price for sin. Umbuzo uwukuthi, who will pay the price for sin? You or …
The law of the Kingdom of God
Every kingdom has a law, that represents the will of the ruler(s) of the country. Jesus is the King of the Kingdom of God. UJesu uyiNhloko yeBandla; His Body and the Church should represent, obey and do His law. So that His will, okuyiyona futhi intando kababa is done on this earth. Every Christian is responsible for his or her own deeds and decides whether to obey and do God’s will or not.
Amakholwa, who are appointed as leaders of the church, should represent and do God’s will and make God’s will known to the believers. They should teach the truth of God’s Word, correct and protect the believers and keep order in the church, njll.
The leaders of the church are not responsible to share every week interesting historical facts from the Bible, but they are responsible for the lives of the believers. Faith is more than believing in (historical) facts, it’s a life to live.
Imiyalo, which Jesus gave to God’s people
Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho, kumbe abaprofethi: angizanga ukuchitha;, kodwa ukugcwalisa (Mathewu5:17)
Uma umuntu ethi, that Jesus had no rules and no commandments and didn’t tell anyone to keep the law of God, then the person doesn’t know the Bible and doesn’t speak the truth. Because although God had already made His will known to His people, by giving them His laws, Jesus also made His will known, ngokwenza intando kaYise yaziwe kubantu bakaNkulunkulu kanye wagcwalisa umthetho waKhe ngemisebenzi yaKhe.
UJesu waze wathi kubantu, ukuthi benze njalo bagcine lokho ababhali labaFarisi, wabatshela ukuthi benze, kodwa ukuthi bangenzi imisebenzi yabo. Njengoba imisebenzi yabo yayingahambisani namazwi abawavumayo (Mathewu 23:3).
UJesu akagcinanga ngokuqinisekisa umthetho kaYise, kodwa Waze waqinisa imiyalelo yoMbuso kaYise futhi wengeza eminye imiyalelo okufanele bayigcine (Funda futhi: imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo kaJesu).
UJesu wayekhona izibulo wendalo entsha futhi wayazi ikhono lomuntu omusha uma (s)wayezokwenza thanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi wonke umuntu.
Kepha manje senziwa mahhala esonweni, futhi babe yizinceku zikaNkulunkulu, ninesithelo senu kube ngubungcwele, Futhi ukuphela kokuphila okuphakade (AmaRoma 6:22)
I indalo entsha unayo wafa kuKristu ngokubeka phansi inyama okubusa kuyo isono. Ngakho-ke isidalwa esisha sihlengiwe esonweni nasekufeni, obusa enyameni kuze kube sekufeni (AmaRoma 5:21, 6:3-10).
Indalo entsha iyasuswa embusweni wobumnyama, lapho kubusa khona ukufa, embusweni kaNkulunkulu, lapho kubusa ukuPhila (AbaseKolose 1:12-14). Yingakho ke, indalo entsha, ophila ngoMoya, kasayikulalela isono, kodwa bazamelana lesono, babuse phezu kwesono. Kunalokho, ukuthi isono siyabusa, njengoba kwenzeka empilweni ye Indoda endala, ophila emva kwenyama (AmaRoma 6:16-22)
Umuntu omusha ngeke awuchithe umthetho kaBaba, emelela intando yakhe, kodwa kuzo gcwalisa intando Yakhe, njengoJesu (Mathewu 5:17, AmaRoma 3:13). Ngoba ngobhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, uMoya oNgcwele uhlala esidalweni esisha, futhi Imithetho yakhe ilotshiwe ezinhliziyweni kwezidalwa ezintsha; umuntu omusha. Izidalwa ezintsha zizokhuluma futhi zihambe ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu (Jeremiya 31:33, UHezekeli 36:26-27, 2 AbaseKorinte 3:2-3, amaHebheru 8:10-12)
inkokhelo yesono ingukufa
IBhayibheli lithi inkokhelo yesono ukufa. Wonke umuntu, ozelwe kulomhlaba uzalwa njengo isoni futhi kufanele akhokhe inani lesono (ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu), okungukufa. Ngoba ukufa kuyinkokhelo yesono. Akekho okhishwe ngaphandle! Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi bahlukile kulo mthetho. Nokho, iqiniso liwukuthi wonke umuntu udinga ukuhlengwa enyameni nasemisebenzini yayo ikhehla.
Inkokhelo yesono ingukufa; Kepha isipho sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 6:23)
Ekekho neyodwa, ozelwe ngenzalo yomuntu, uzalwa engcwele futhi elungile. Ngisho noma ukhulele emkhayeni wamaKristu, vakashela isonto, ube ngumuntu ohamba kalula, obheka inhlalakahle yabanye, futhi wenze okuningi 'okuhle' (uthando) isebenza, konke lokhu kanye nayo yonke le misebenzi ngeke ikusindise ekufeni. Yinye kuphela indlela yokuhlengwa kumuntu omdala futhi kungoJesu Kristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo!
Kuphela ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu nangokufa kwendoda endala (inyama) nokuvuka kwabafileyo komuntu omusha (umoya), uyakukhululwa esonweni futhi usindiswe ekufeni
Kungakho uNkulunkulu ethumele iNdodana Yakhe uJesu Kristu njenge isipho somusa emhlabeni ukuze akhokhe intengo yezoni.
Jesus Christ has paid the price!
UJesu wayekhona umuntu ophelele and He paid the price for sin; ukufa. Although Jesus didn’t deserve the price for sin and didn’t have to pay the price, Jesus took the blame for sinners and the wages of sin, which is death upon Himself, and gave His life for sinners (2 AbaseKorinte 5:21, amaHebheru 2:14).
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)
Jesus became okubambayo for those sinners, abakholwa kuye, badela ukuphila kwabo (ikhehla, ophila emva kwenyama), are raised from the dead (umoya), futhi landela uJesu; iZwi, noMoya oNgcwele.
Only through Jesus Christ can a person be redeemed from sin and death, okubusa enyameni, Ngokubeka inyama.
Ngakho-ke, if you accept the umhlatshelo kaJesu Kristu and the price that He has paid for you, and lay down your life as a sinner and become azalwe kabusha kuKristu, then you won’t have to pay the price for your sins. Because Jesus has paid the price for you and you have identified yourself with His sufferings, ukufa, nokuvuka.
By faith and by becoming born agaminan, Ungu engaseyisoni. You have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus and therefore you shall walk in righteousness. (AmaRoma 5:1; 18-19, 2 AbaseKorinte 5:20-21).
When you become born again and live after the will of God, which is written in the Word of God and in your heart, then you do what pleases Him and glorify your Father in heaven with your life.
There will come a day for every person that is born on this earth, lokho (s)he will come to the knowledge of the truth.
What is the knowledge of the truth?
The knowledge of the truth is that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He is the Way, iqiniso, kanye nempilo. You can come to the knowledge of this truth during your life on this earth or after you die, ngoSuku Lokwahlulela, but then it will be too late.
When you come to the knowledge of this truth during your life on earth and believe in Jesus Christ, phenduka of your carnal walk and become born again in Him and walk on the way in the Truth of the Word and after the Spirit, you shall not see death. NgoSuku Lokwahlulela, when you are found written in the book of life, you shall receive the reward for righteousness, which is eternal life. (i.e. IsAmbulo 20:12; 21:1-7; 21:27; 22:3-5).
But if you don’t believe and rebel against the Word of God and persevere in sin and are not willing to repent, but listen and obey the flesh and the lusts thereof, then when you die, you shall see death. Because the death shall come and take you.
NgoSuku Lokwahlulela, when you are not found written in the book of life, you shall find out that the penalty for sin is real and that you have to pay the price for your sins yourself.
On that Day, you shall receive the reward of sin, okungukufa kwesibili. You shall receive from Him, Whom you denied, ubhapathizo lomlilo in the lake of fire, which will last forever (i.e. IsAmbulo 20:11-15; 21:8).
