KwabaseFilipi 2:12, UPawulu wabhalela abangcwele baseFilipi, Sebenzani ukusindiswa kwenu ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela. Mhlawumbe la mazwi azwakala engavamile ezindlebeni zakho. Kodwa la mazwi kaPawulu asasebenza kwabangcwele abakuKristu Jesu. Nakuba abantu basindiswa nguJesu Kristu, kukubantu ukuthi bahlale basindisiwe. Wonke umKristu kufanele asebenzele insindiso yakhe. Akekho ongakwenzela omunye lokho. Kodwa uyenza kanjani insindiso yakho?
Ingabe imfundiso yesonto iyahambisana neqiniso likaNkulunkulu?
Abantu bacabanga kalula ngensindiso ekukholweni kobuKristu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amabandla amaningi axuba amazwi kaNkulunkulu namazwi omuntu. Bakha izimfundiso eziphambuka eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe.
Ngenxa yezimfundiso ezingalungile, amaKristu amaningi adale isithombe esingalungile sevangeli futhi abambelela ekukholweni okungamanga.
Bacabanga kanjalo ngokuphindaphinda amagama ambalwa (ukuvuma izono) nangokwenza isenzo (ubhapathizo), uyakusindiswa kube kanye, naphezu kwendlela ophila ngayo.
Kodwa ingabe iBhayibheli liyayiqinisekisa le mfundiso? (Funda futhi: Ingabe kanye usindiswe njalo eBhayibhelini?)
Ukube bekulula kanjalo futhi bekungeke kube nandaba ukuthi uphila kanjani nokuthi wenzani futhi awukwazi ukuwa okholweni lwakho futhi ulahlekelwe insindiso yakho, pho kungani abaphostoli bexwayisa abangcwele kuKristu Jesu ngokuhlubuka?
Kungani bekhuluma ngokugijima umncintiswano wokuphila, ebambelele ezwini elithembekileyo nasekukholweni, ukuhlubuka, ukuvimbela inhliziyo embi yokungakholwa, nisebenzele ukusindiswa kwenu ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela, ukumelana nesono, ukukhuthazelela isilingo, futhi niqinisele futhi nigcine ukholo kuze kube sekupheleni? (Oh. 1 AbaseKorinte 9:24-27; 10:12, amaHebheru 6:4-6; 10:23-31, 2 UPetru 2:20-22)
Kungani bekhuluma ngazo zonke lezi zinto, uma kungenandaba noma kunjalo?
UNkulunkulu wanika amandla okuba amadodana kaNkulunkulu
Wayesezweni, Futhi umhlaba wenziwa nguye, Futhi umhlaba wawungayi. Weza edwa, futhi eyakhe yamukele. Kepha abaningi njengabo, kubo wanika amandla okuba ngamadodana kaNkulunkulu, ngisho nakubo abakholwayo egameni lakhe: Ezalwe, hhayi ngegazi, noma intando yenyama, kanye nentando yomuntu, kodwa kaNkulunkulu (UJohane 1:10-13)
Kungumusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wanika wonke umuntu amandla okusindiswa futhi abe amadodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane. (Funda futhi: Kusho ukuthini umthetho owanikezwa nguMose, umusa neqiniso kweza ngoJesu Kristu?)).
Usindisiwe ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga. Ngokukholwa, namukele uMoya oNgcwele. UNkulunkulu ukunike lokhu ngesihle, ngokukholwa hhayi ngemisebenzi.
Awulondoloziwe ngokulandela isethi yemithetho, amasiko, imithethonqubo, kanye nemithetho (ezilotshwe emthethweni kaMose noma ezibekwe ebandleni), noma imisebenzi yobuntu. Kodwa nisindisiwe ngegazi likaJesu Kristu, ngomsebenzi Wakhe.
Uma usindisiwe futhi uzelwe nguNkulunkulu futhi uyindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), uyakuphila njengendodana kaNkulunkulu.
Impilo yendodana kaNkulunkulu
Kepha manje senziwa mahhala esonweni, futhi babe yizinceku zikaNkulunkulu, Ninazo izithelo zakho ebungcweleni, Futhi ukuphela kokuphila okuphakade. Inkokhelo yesono ingukufa; Kepha isipho sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 6:22-23)
Njengendodana kaNkulunkulu, uyophila ngokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu ngokulalela iZwi laKhe ekuKhanyeni. Lokhu kusho, awusayikuphila njengendodana kadeveli ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu ngokungalaleli iZwi laKhe ebumnyameni. (Oh. UJohane 8:12).
Wenziwe olungileyo futhi wakhululwa esonweni. Ngakho-ke, anisayikuhamba esonweni, kodwa uzakuhamba ekulungeni. (Funda futhi: Ingabe uhlale uyisoni njalo?).
Uhlanziwe futhi ungcwelisiwe kuJesu Kristu; iZwi. Futhi ngokukholwa Kuye kanye nokulalela amazwi Akhe, niyohlala ningcwelisiwe eqinisweni leZwi (UJohane 17:14-21).
Wonke umuntu unikezwe ikhono namandla kaNkulunkulu okuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu futhi ahlale eyindodana kaNkulunkulu noma abuyele emhlabeni futhi athathe impilo yakhe endala..
Umuntu angashiya uJesu nokholo Kuye abuyele emhlabeni futhi aphile njengezwe ngaphansi kwethonya lemimoya yezwe noma nini..
UNkulunkulu akaphoqi muntu! UNkulunkulu unikeze wonke umuntu inkululeko yokuzikhethela nenkululeko yokuzenzela izinqumo ekuphileni. Kodwa konke ukukhetha kunemiphumela (Funda futhi: Okuhlwanyelayo, uyakuvuna)
Yiba ngcwele, ngoba uNkulunkulu ungcwele
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: Kodwa ungcwele njengoba onibizile, Manje yiba ngcwele ngazo zonke izingxoxo; Ngoba kulotshiwe, Yiba Ngcwele; Ngoba ngingcwele (1 UPetru 1:13-16)
AmaKristu amaningi anomqondo wenyama futhi adala unkulunkulu emiqondweni yawo ngomfanekiso wawo. Bakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungisa intando namazwi akhe ukuze ahambisane nesikhathi esiphila kuso kanye nentando yakhe, inkanuko, lezifiso zenyama.
Ngenxa yalokhu, amabandla amaningi asefana nezwe futhi agunyaze futhi amukela imisebenzi yenyama.
Bathi, ukuthi ungaqhubeka uhamba ngokulandela inyama, ukuphila njengezwe esonweni, futhi lizuze ifa lokuphila okuphakade.
Kodwa futhi, iBhayibheli aliyiqinisekisi le mfundiso kodwa lisho okunye.
UNkulunkulu akadalwanga (intando ye) indoda (emqondweni wakhe wenyama) emva kwesithombe somuntu. UNkulunkulu futhi akadalelwanga umuntu, ukuthobela intando yomuntu nokulalela nokusebenzela umuntu.
Kodwa umuntu udalwe ngu (intando ye) UNkulunkulu ngomfanekiso waKhe. Umuntu udalelwe uNkulunkulu, nokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu nokulalela nokukhonza uNkulunkulu.
Akuyena uNkulunkulu, okufanele aziphendulele kumuntu ngamazwi nemisebenzi Yakhe ngoSuku Lokwahlulela. Kodwa ngumuntu, okufanele aziphendulele kuNkulunkulu ngamazwi nangemisebenzi yakhe ngoSuku Lokwahlulela.
Ukubuyiselwa kuKristu
I (okusha) umuntu ubuyiselwe (ephulukisiwe) kuKristu ekuweni kwakhe futhi wabuyisana noNkulunkulu. Umuntu omusha kufanele enziwe musha futhi aguqulwe abe nomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kwenzeka ngokwenziwa ibentsha ingqondo ngeZwi, nge Ukubeka endodeni endala, Ukubeka indoda entsha, ukuphila ngokuzithoba kuJesu Kristu, nokuhamba ngokukaMoya ngokulalela uNkulunkulu eqinisweni.
Kungamanga, ukuthi imisebenzi yenyama iholela ekuphileni okuphakade. Ngoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi imisebenzi yenyama iholela ekufeni.
Ngakho-ke ukholo kuJesu Kristu, ukuzalwa kabusha kuYe, kanye inqubo yokungcweliswa zibalulekile kuwo wonke umuntu.
Ungcwelisiwe kuKristu futhi ngokumlalela uhlala ungcwelisiwe
AmaKristu kufanele aqaphele ukuthi uJesu unikele ngokuphila Kwakhe ngenxa yalokhu! Wonke umuntu, ozelwe ngokusha kuKristu ukhululiwe esonweni nasekufeni. Umuntu uphiwe amandla okuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu futhi aphile njengendodana kaNkulunkulu.
Uphila njengendodana kaNkulunkulu ngokuphila ngokulalela uBaba neZwi lakhe futhi wenze lokho uJesu akushilo nakuyala ukuba ukwenze..
Ningcwelisiwe kuKristu. Ngokulalela iZwi; iqiniso, uhlala ungcwelisiwe.
Nokho, ukulalela iQiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu kunemiphumela empilweni yakho emhlabeni. (Funda futhi: Kusho ukuthini ukubala izindleko?)
Indodana kaNkulunkulu isiphenduke isitha sezwe
UJesu wabe esethi kubafundi bakhe, Uma noma yimuphi umuntu ezongilandela, azidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, futhi ungilandele. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho: futhi noma ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uyakuthola. Ngokuba umuntu usizakala ngani, uba ezuza umhlaba wonke, futhi alahlekelwe umphefumulo wakhe? kumbe umuntu anganikela ngani kube yisihlengo somphefumulo wakhe? Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lezingilosi zayo; khona-ke uyakuvuza yilowo nalowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe (Mathewu 16:24-27)
Wena ophingayo nasophangi, Anazi ukuthi ubungani bezwe bungubutha noNkulunkulu? Ngakho-ke noma ngubani ozoba umngane womhlaba isitha sikaNkulunkulu (UJames 4:4)
Amanye amanga ashunyayelwayo yiwo, ukuthi indodana kaNkulunkulu ingumngane wezwe nokuthi uthandwe yizwe.
Ngoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi nakuba uphila emhlabeni, awusewona owomhlaba, kodwa ningabakaNkulunkulu.
UngokaNkulunkulu futhi uphethe iGama likaJesu Kristu. Ngakho-ke, izwe liyanizonda. (Funda futhi: Kungani izwe liwazonda amaKristu?).
Ngokuvuselela, awusewona owomhlaba, kodwa uba yisitha sezwe.
Esikhundleni sokusho nokwenza lokho izwe elikushoyo nelikwenzayo, nokuholwa ngentando yakho, imizwa, nemizwelo, uzolalela, khuluma, futhi wenze amazwi kaNkulunkulu
“Umhlaba awukwazi ukuzonda, Kepha mina uyakuzonda”
Umhlaba awunakukuzonda; kodwa Mina liyangizonda, Ngoba ngifakaza ngakho, ukuthi imisebenzi yayo imbi (UJohane 7:7)
Uma izwe limzonda futhi limzingela uJesu, ngoba uJesu wakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu; iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, futhi wenza imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, bese labo, abayindalo entsha futhi abangabakaKristu futhi bamlandele futhi bakhulume amazwi Akhe futhi balalele imiyalo Yakhe futhi benze imisebenzi Yakhe, futhi uyozondwa futhi ashushiswe yizwe.
Iyona yodwa, ohlala kini kayivumi imisebenzi yenyama
Iyona yodwa, ohlala kini kayivumi imisebenzi yenyama. Kodwa Ulahla izwe ngesono, yokwahlulela, nokulunga (UJohane 16:8-12).
Ngokulandela uMoya ngokulalela iZwi, anisayikuthandwa yizwe. niyakuzondwa, njengoJesu. Ngoba ngamazwi akho nangokukhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi wenza imisebenzi elungile, uyafakaza ukuthi amazwi omhlaba angamanga futhi imisebenzi yenyama mibi futhi iholela kukho (okwaphakade) ukufa.
UJesu wakhuluma amazwi kaBaba, lapho uJesu wembula khona iqiniso likaNkulunkulu endlini ka-Israyeli. Nokho, iqiniso lalingaziswa ngaso sonke isikhathi. Njengoba iqiniso likaNkulunkulu liphikisana nentando yenyama. Iqiniso likaNkulunkulu lisho ukufa ngenxa yemisebenzi yenyama. (Funda futhi: Lithini ibhayibheli ngendoda endala?)
Kodwa uJesu akazange esabe noma athonywe abantu. UJesu wabambelela ngokuqinile eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu futhi waqhubeka ekhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, lapho uJesu azondwa khona futhi washushiswa, empilweni Yakhe, okwagcina kuholele ekufeni Kwakhe (Funda futhi: Ukuhlupheka nokugconwa kukaJesu Kristu).
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu azondwa futhi ashushiswa yizwe
Uma umhlaba uzokuzonda, niyazi ukuthi bekuzonda ngaphambi kokuba lizonda. Uma beningabezwe, umhlaba ubungathanda okwakhe: kodwa ngoba anisibo abezwe, kodwa mina ngilikhethile emhlabeni, ngalokho izwe liyanizonda. Khumbulani izwi engalikhuluma kini, Inceku ayinkulu kunenkosi yayo. Uma bengishushisile, bayakunizingela nani; Uma beligcinile izwi lami, bayokugcina neyakho. Kepha zonke lezi zinto zizokwenza kuwe ngenxa yegama lami, ngoba abamazi lowo ongithumileyo (UJohane 15:18-21)
ngibanikile izwi lakho; futhi izwe labazonda, ngoba abasibo abezwe, njengoba nami ngingesiye owezwe. Angikhulekeli ukuthi ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuthi Ubavikele kokubi. Abasibo abezwe, njengoba nami ngingesiye owezwe (UJohane 17:14-16)
Abantu babebazonda abafundi bakaJesu futhi babashushisa, ngenxa yokulalela kwabo uJesu; iZwi.
Abafundi balalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Bashumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye neqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi bema okholweni, Naphezu kwemiphumela.
Babazi ukuthi sebeyisitha sezwe futhi babazonda. Ngoba bafakaza ngemisebenzi yabo emibi. NjengoMsindisi wabo, Nqoba, neNkosi. Nokho, abazange bethuswe noma bathonywe abantu.
Bahlala bethembekile kuJesu noYise nasemazwini nemiyalo Yakhe futhi beholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.
Abafundi babephapheme futhi beqaphile ngokomoya. Abaphostoli nabelusi bamabandla abazange bavumele lutho nanoma ubani ukuba eze endleleni yabo.
Abafundi bahlala bephapheme futhi beqaphile futhi benza insindiso yabo ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela
Nina ningabakaNkulunkulu, Izingane ezincane, futhi babanqobile: ngoba mkhulu okini, kunalowo osezweni. Bangokomhlaba: Ngakho-ke khuluma ngokwezwe, nezwe liyabezwa. SingokaNkulunkulu: owazi uNkulunkulu uyasizwa; ongesiye okaNkulunkulu akasizwa. Ngalokhu siyawazi umoya weqiniso, kanye nomoya wephutha (1 UJohane 4:4-6)
Bavikela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye neqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi baxwayisana ngabafundisi bamanga.
Kwathi nje kuvuka umfundisi wamanga phakathi kwamakholwa ebandleni noma kwangena umfundisi wamanga evela ngaphandle waba usongo ebandleni., baxwayisa amabandla.
Uma kwakunengozi engokomoya futhi othile waya endleleni engafanele, okwaholela ekuhlubukeni, nokuziphatha komuntu kungcolisa ubungcwele bebandla, babhekane, solwa, futhi walungisa umuntu, futhi wabiza umuntu ekuphendukeni.
Base bexwayisana futhi bagcinana. Bahlala beqaphile ngokomoya futhi basebenzela insindiso yabo ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela. Ngoba babazi, lokho okwakuqukethwe yimpilo entsha njengendodana kaNkulunkulu.
Babesazi isitha sabo nezingozi ezingokomoya, kodwa bona egada amasango webandla.
Uthando lwabo ngoJesu nokwesaba uNkulunkulu kwakukhulu kangangokuba kwasibekela ukuphila kwabo kwasemhlabeni. Babengazithandi izimpilo zabo, babemthanda uJesu futhi bephilela Yena.
Lesi simo sengqondo kufanele sibuyele eMzimbeni kaKristu; iBandla. Ukuze iBandla likaKristu libe amandla kaNkulunkulu futhi esikhundleni sesikhungo somphakathi. (Funda futhi: Ingabe ibandla liyisikhungo senhlalo yomphakathi noma amandla kaNkulunkulu?)
Sebenzani ukusindiswa kwenu ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela
Ngalokho, othandekayo wami, njengalokhu lilalela njalo, hhayi njengasebukhoneni bami kuphela, Kepha manje okuningi ngokungabikho kwami, feza insindiso yakho ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela. Ngokuba nguNkulunkulu osebenza kini nokuthanda nokwenza njengentando yakhe enhle. Yenzani zonke izinto ngaphandle kokukhonona nokuphikisana: Ukuze ningabi nacala futhi ningabi nacala, amadodana kaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokusola, phakathi kwesizwe esiyisigwegwe nesiphambeneyo, enikhanya phakathi kwabo njengezinkanyiso ezweni; nibambelele ezwini lokuphila; ukuze ngithokoze ngosuku lukaKristu, ukuthi kangigijimanga ize, futhi angisebenzelanga ize (AbaseFilipi 2:12-16)
Ukukholwa sekuyimpilo yakho entsha esikhundleni sokuba isengezo empilweni yakho yakudala.
Amanye amaKristu akhuluma futhi enze izinto ngokwethembeka lapho eya esontweni kanye/noma lapho ekhona amaKristu akanye nawo, kodwa uma nje sebesekhaya, eyedwa noma ehlangene nabangakholwayo, bakhuluma futhi benze njengezwe futhi benza izinto eziphikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu. Ngempilo yabo, bayaliphika iZwi futhi baphile ngokuhlubuka nokungalaleli iZwi.
AmaKristu amaningi awamelani nesono futhi awabekezeleli isilingo. Kodwa bavumela isilingo.
Bakholelwa ukuthi ngalokho bakhetha ukukwenza, bayasindiswa kuze kube phakade. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi benzani. Bakholelwa ukuthi isono ngeke sibalimaze. (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukusebenzisa umhlaba ophukile njengezaba?)
Kodwa kunendaba, uma wazi intando Yakhe futhi wazi ukuthi into ethile ayilungile ukuyenza futhi uyayenza noma kunjalo.
“Masibambe isivumo sokholo lwethu singantengantengi“
Masibambe isivumo sokholo lwethu singantengantengi; (ngoba uthembekile owathembisayo;) Masicabangelane ukuze sivuselelane uthando nemisebenzi emihle: Singakuyeki ukuhlangana kwethu ndawonye, njengoba injalo indlela yabanye; kodwa sikhuthazane: nokunye okuningi, njengoba libona usuku lusondela. Ngoba uma sona ngamabomu ngemuva kwalokho sithole ulwazi lweqiniso, akusekho umnikelo wezono, Kepha ukubhekwa okuthile okwesabekayo kwesahlulelo kanye nentukuthelo yomlilo, okuzodla izitha (amaHebheru 10:23-27).
Uma uMoya oNgcwele, Enimamukele kuBaba, uhlala kuwe futhi uyamlalela futhi wenze lokho akushoyo, lizaholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.
Kawusayikuphila, njengoba naphila ngaphambili ekungalazini iqiniso ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu nezwi Lakhe. Ungabe usenza imisebenzi yenyama futhi uzinikele esonweni. Kodwa uzomelana nesono futhi ubekezele ekulingweni. (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukumelana nesilingo?)
Nizomlalela futhi nisebenzele insindiso yenu ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela. Ngoba unguNkulunkulu, osebenza kini kokubili ukuthanda nokwenza njengentando yakhe enhle.
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu awanacala, engenangozi, ngaphandle kokusola, nibambelele ezwini lokuphila
Uyakwenza konke ngaphandle kokukhononda nokuphikisana. Ngoba ukulandela uJesu akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi. Uzobhekana nezihibe, ukumelana, nokushushiswa kubantu abakuzungezile. Nokho, uma umthanda uhlala ulalela Yena futhi ugcine umyalo Wakhe.
Wenza konke ube ubonga Yena. Ukuze ungabi nasici futhi ungabi nacala, amadodana kaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokusolwa phakathi kwesizwe esiyisigwegwe nesiphambeneyo, enikhanya phakathi kwabo njengezinkanyiso ezweni, nibambelele ezwini lokuphila.
Ngakho-ke beka ithemba lakho kuNkulunkulu futhi ubambe amazwi Akhe futhi ungawavumeli ashelele. Ungavumeli (amazwi nemisebenzi ye) lezo, obani indalo endala futhi ningabesizukulwane esiyisigwegwe nesiphambeneyo nombusi waleli zwe futhi nimkhonze, ukukuthonya.
Unesibopho sokusindiswa kwakho siqu. Ngakho-ke, feza insindiso yakho ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela. Yima ngokuqinile okholweni futhi ulalele amazwi kaNkulunkulu, futhi nihambe eqinisweni laKhe, kuze kube sekupheleni.
