UNkulunkulu - isingeniso

Kithina njengamaKristu, inkolelo ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Ngokuthi “Nkulunkulu” - ngaphandle kwesihloko, ngaphandle kwemininingwane eyengeziwe - sisho uNkulunkulu weBhayibheli. Umoya omuhle nonamandla owadala zonke izinto, osikhathalelayo, ozikhathalelayo izenzo zethu, owenza okuthile kanye nasezimpilweni zethu futhi osinika ingunaphakade lobuhle. Ngokwengqikithi yakhe, uNkulunkulu akanakuqondwa ngumuntu. Kodwa singenza isiqalo: singaqoqa izakhi zolwazi ngoNkulunkulu ezingasenza siqaphele izici eziyinhloko zomfanekiso wakhe futhi zisinikeze isinyathelo sokuqala esihle sokuqonda ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu nalokho akwenzayo ekuphileni kwethu. Ake sibheke izimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu, isibonelo, ikholwa elisha elingazithola ziwusizo ngokukhethekile.

Ubukhona bayo

Abantu abaningi - ngisho namakholwa akudala - bafuna ubufakazi bobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa abukho ubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu obuyokwanelisa wonke umuntu. Cishe kungcono ukukhuluma ngobufakazi besimo noma imikhondo kunobufakazi. Ubufakazi buyasiqinisekisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona nokuthi ubunjalo Bakhe yilokho iBhayibheli elikushoyo Ngaye. UNkulunkulu “akazishiyanga engazi,” uPawulu wamemezela kwabeZizwe eListra (IzEnzo 1 Kor.4,17). Ukuzifakazela - kuhlanganisani?

Indalo
KumaHubo 19,1 umi: Amazulu ashumayela inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. KwabaseRoma 1,20 lisho ukuthi: Ngoba ongabonakali kaNkulunkulu, okungamandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe, ubonakala emisebenzini yakhe kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba. Indalo ngokwayo isitshela okuthile ngoNkulunkulu.

Izizathu zikhuluma ngokukholelwa ukuthi kukhona okwenziwe ngamabomu umhlaba, ilanga nezinkanyezi ngale ndlela eziyiyo. Ngokwesayensi, indawo yonke yaqala ngomsindo omkhulu; Isizathu sikhuluma ngokukholelwa ukuthi kukhona okudala ukuqhuma. Ukuthi into esikholelwa ukuthi kwakunguNkulunkulu.

Ukuhlela: Ukudalwa kukhombisa izimpawu zokuhleleka, kwemithetho yemvelo. Ukube ezinye zezinto eziyisisekelo zendaba bezihluke kancane, uma umhlaba ubungekho, ubungeke ubekhona kubantu. Ukube umhlaba ubunosayizi ohlukile noma i-orbit ehlukile, izimo emhlabeni wethu bezingavumeli impilo yomuntu. Abanye bakubheka lokhu njengengozi yomhlaba wonke; abanye bakubheka kunengqondo ngokwengeziwe ukuchaza ukuthi isimiso sonozungezilanga saklanywa uMdali ohlakaniphile.

ukuphila
Ukuphila kusekelwe ezintweni zamakhemikhali eziyinkimbinkimbi ngendlela emangalisayo kanye nokusabela kwayo. Abanye babheka ukuphila “njengokubangelwa ngokuhlakanipha”; abanye bakubheka njengomkhiqizo wephutha. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi isayensi ekugcineni izofakazela umsuka wokuphila “ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu”. Nokho, kubantu abaningi, ukuba khona kokuphila kuwuphawu lukaNkulunkulu onguMdali.

Umuntu
Umuntu unokuzibonakalisa. Uhlola indawo yonke, ucabanga ngencazelo yempilo, ngokuvamile uyakwazi ukufuna incazelo. Ukulamba ngokomzimba kusikisela ukuba khona kokudla; Okwesithathu kusikisela ukuthi kukhona okungawuqeda lowo somile. Ngabe ukulangazelela kwethu ukuqonda okungokomoya kusikisela ukuthi incazelo ikhona ngempela futhi ingatholakala? Abantu abaningi bathi bathola injongo ebuhlotsheni babo noNkulunkulu.

Ukuziphatha
Ngabe okulungile nokungalungile kumane kuyindaba yombono noma umbuzo wemibono eminingi, noma ingabe kukhona igunya elingaphezu komuntu elinquma kokuhle nokubi? Uma engekho uNkulunkulu, khona-ke umuntu akanasisekelo sokubiza noma yini njengokubi, asikho isizathu sokulahla ukucwasana ngokobuhlanga, ukuqothulwa kohlanga, ukuhlukunyezwa nezinye izenzo ezifanayo. Ukuba khona kobubi ngakho-ke kuyinkomba yokuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu. Uma ingekho, khona-ke amandla amsulwa kufanele abuse. Izizathu zokucabanga zikhuluma ngokukholelwa kuNkulunkulu.

Usayizi wakhe

Unjani uNkulunkulu? Kukhulu kunalokho esingakucabanga! Uma ngabe udale indawo yonke, mkhulu kunendawo yonke - futhi akabekelwe umkhawulo wesikhathi, isikhala namandla, ngoba wayekhona ngaphambi kwesikhathi, isikhala, udaba namandla.

2. UThimothi 1,9 ikhuluma ngento uNkulunkulu ayenza “ngaphambi kwesikhathi.” Isikhathi sasinesiqalo futhi uNkulunkulu wayekhona ngaphambili. Unokuphila okungapheli okungenakulinganiswa ngeminyaka. Ingunaphakade, yeminyaka engapheli - futhi i-infinity plus nezigidigidi ezimbalwa kuseyinto engapheli. Izibalo zethu zifinyelela umkhawulo wazo lapho zifuna ukuchaza ubuyena bukaNkulunkulu.

Njengoba uNkulunkulu adala into, wayekhona ngaphambi kwento futhi akayona into ebonakalayo. Ungumoya – kodwa akenziwanga “ngomoya”. UNkulunkulu akenziwa nhlobo; ilula futhi ikhona njengomoya. Ichaza ubukhona, ichaza umoya futhi ichaza udaba.

Ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu bubuyela emuva emuva kwento futhi ubukhulu nezimpawu zento azisebenzi kuye. Ayinakulinganiswa ngamamayela nama-kilowatts. USolomoni uyavuma ukuthi ngisho namazulu aphakeme awakwazi ukumqonda uNkulunkulu (1. Amakhosi 8,27). Ugcwalisa izulu nomhlaba (Jeremiya 23,24); ikuyo yonke indawo, ikhona yonke indawo. Ayikho indawo emkhathini lapho ingekho khona.
 
Unamandla kangakanani uNkulunkulu? Uma ekwazi ukusetha ukuqhuma okukhulu, ukuklama izinhlelo zelanga, ukudala amakhodi e-DNA, uma "ekwazi" kuwo wonke lawa mazinga wamandla, khona-ke ubudlova bakhe kufanele bube obungenamkhawulo ngempela, khona-ke kufanele abe namandla onke. “Ngoba kuNkulunkulu akukho lutho olungenakwenzeka,” uLuka uyasitshela 1,37. UNkulunkulu angenza noma yini ayifunayo.

Ekudaleni kukaNkulunkulu kunobuhlakani obungaphezu kwamandla ethu. Ubusa indawo yonke futhi uqinisekisa ukuba khona kwayo okuqhubekayo njalo ngomzuzwana (Hebheru 1,3). Lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele azi ukuthi kwenzekani endaweni yonke; ukuhlakanipha kwakhe akunamkhawulo - wazi konke. Konke afuna ukukwazi, ukukubona, isipiliyoni, ukwazi, ukuqaphela, ahlangabezana nakho.

Njengoba uNkulunkulu echaza okulungile nokungalungile, ngokwencazelo ulungile futhi unamandla okwenza okulungile ngaso sonke isikhathi. “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu akanakulingwa kokubi” (Jakobe 1,13). Ulungile ngokuphelele futhi ulungile ngokuphelele (IHu 11,7). Izindinganiso zakhe zilungile, izinqumo zakhe zilungile, futhi wahlulela izwe ngokulunga, ngoba empeleni muhle futhi ulungile.

Kuzo zonke lezi zici, uNkulunkulu uhluke kakhulu kithi kangangokuthi sinamagama akhethekile esiwasebenzisa ngokubhekisela kuNkulunkulu kuphela. UNkulunkulu kuphela owazi konke, ukuyo yonke indawo, umninimandla onke, ongunaphakade. Siyindaba; ungumoya. Singabantu abafayo; akafi. Lomehluko obalulekile phakathi kwethu noNkulunkulu, lokhu okunye, sikubiza ngokweqa kwakhe. “Udlula” kithi, okungukuthi, udlulela ngalé kwethu, akafani nathi.

Amanye amasiko asendulo ayekholelwa konkulunkulu nonkulunkulukazi ababelwa bodwa, ababenobugovu, ababengathenjwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iBhayibheli lembula uNkulunkulu olawula ngokuphelele, ongadingi lutho kunoma ubani, okwenza nje enze okuthile ukuze asize abanye. Akaguquguquki ngokuphelele, ukuziphatha kwakhe kunobulungisa ngokuphelele, nokuziphatha kwakhe kuthembeke ngokuphelele. Yilokhu iBhayibheli elikushoyo lapho libiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi “ngcwele”: uphelele ngokuziphatha.

Lokho kwenza impilo ibe lula kakhulu. Umuntu akusadingeki azame ukujabulisa onkulunkulu abayishumi noma abangamashumi amabili abahlukene; munye kuphela. Umdali wezinto zonke usengumbusi wazo zonke izinto futhi uzoba yijaji labo bonke abantu. Isikhathi sethu esedlule, samanje nekusasa lethu konke kunqunywe uNkulunkulu oyedwa, uSomandla, uSomandla, Ongunaphakade.

Ubuhle baKhe

Ukube besazi nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu unamandla aphelele phezu kwethu, besizomlalela ngokwesaba, siguqe ngamadolo nezinhliziyo ezidelelayo. Kepha uNkulunkulu wembule olunye uhlangothi lokuba kwakhe kithina: uNkulunkulu omkhulu ngokumangalisayo unesihe futhi muhle ngendlela emangalisayo.

Umfundi othile wabuza uJesu, “Nkosi, sibonise uYihlo.” ( Johane 14,8). Wayefuna ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unjani. Wayezazi izindaba zesihlahla esivuthayo, insika yomlilo nefu eSinayi, isihlalo sobukhosi esingaphezu kwemvelo esabonwa uHezekeli, ukubhonga u-Eliya akuzwayo.2. mose 3,4; I-13,21; 1Amakhosi 19,12; Hezekeli 1). UNkulunkulu angavela kukho konke lokhu kushintshwa kwenyama, kodwa unjani ngempela? Singambona kanjani ngeso lengqondo?

“Obona mina ubona uBaba” kusho uJesu (Johane 14,9). Uma sifuna ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unjani, kufanele sibheke kuJesu. Singathola ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu emvelweni; ulwazi olwengeziwe ngoNkulunkulu ngendlela aziveza ngayo eTestamenteni Elidala; Kodwa ulwazi oluningi ngoNkulunkulu luvela endleleni aziveza ngayo kuJesu.

UJesu usibonisa izici ezibaluleke kakhulu zobuNkulunkulu. Ungu-Imanuweli, okusho ukuthi “uNkulunkulu unathi” (Mathewu 1,23). Waphila engenasono, engenabugovu. Uzwelo lugcwele kuye. Uzwa uthando nenjabulo, ukudumala kanye nentukuthelo. Uyamkhathalela umuntu. Ubiza ukulunga athethelele isono. Wakhonza abanye kwaze kwaba sekufeni nokufa komhlatshelo.

Lowo nguNkulunkulu. Wayesezichaza kuMose ngalendlela: “Nkosi, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu, onesihe, nomusa, nesineke, nonomusa omkhulu, nokuthembeka, ogcina umusa wezinkulungwane, othethelela ububi, neziphambeko, nezono, ongashiyi muntu engajeziswa. "(2. 34:6-7).

UNkulunkulu ongaphezu kwendalo naye unenkululeko yokusebenza ngaphakathi kwendalo. Lokhu ukuqina kwakhe, ukuba kwakhe nathi. Nakuba emkhulu kunendawo yonke futhi ekhona endaweni yonke, “unathi” ngendlela yokuthi “akahlali” nabangakholwa. UNkulunkulu onamandla uhlala eseduze nathi. Useduze futhi ukude ngesikhathi esifanayo (Jeremiya 23,23).

NgoJesu wangena emlandweni wesintu, emkhathini nangesikhathi. Wasebenza esesimweni senyama, wasibonisa ukuthi ukuphila enyameni kufanele kubukeke kanjani, futhi usibonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ukuphila kwethu kube ngaphezu kwenyama. Ukuphila okuphakade kunikezwa kithi, ukuphila okungaphezu kwemingcele yenyama esiyaziyo manje. Ukuphila kukaMoya kunikezwa kithi: UMoya kaNkulunkulu uqobo ungena kithi, uhlala kithi futhi usenza abantwana bakaNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 8,11; 1. UJohannes 3,2). UNkulunkulu uhlala enathi, usebenza emkhathini nangesikhathi ukuze asisize.

UNkulunkulu omkhulu futhi onamandla ngesikhathi esifanayo unguNkulunkulu onothando nomusa; umahluleli olunge ngokuphelele ngesikhathi esifanayo ungumhlengi onomusa nesineke. UNkulunkulu othukuthele isono unikela nangokuhlengwa esonweni. Mkhulu ngomusa, mkhulu ngobuhle. Lokhu kungalindelwa kumuntu okwazi ukudala amakhodi we-DNA, imibala yothingo lwenkosazana, ukuchuma okuhle kwembali yedandelion. Ukube uNkulunkulu ubengenawo umusa nothando, besingeke sibe khona nhlobo.

UNkulunkulu uchaza ubudlelwane bakhe nathi ngezithombe ezahlukahlukene zezilimi. Njengokuthi ungubaba, thina zingane; yena umyeni nathi, ngokuhlanganyela, umkakhe; uyinkosi futhi siyizikhonzi zakhe; yena ungumalusi thina zimvu. Okuhlanganiswa yilezi zithombe zezilimi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzethula njengomuntu onomthwalo wemfanelo, ovikela abantu bakhe futhi anelise izidingo zabo.

UNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi sibancane kangakanani. Uyazi ukuthi angasisula ngesifinyezo seminwe yakhe, ngokubala okuncane kwamandla amakhulu. KuJesu, nokho, uNkulunkulu usikhombisa ukuthi usithanda kangakanani nokuthi usikhathalela kangakanani. UJesu wayethobekile, ezimisele nokuhlupheka uma kusisiza. Uyabazi ubuhlungu esidlula kubo ngoba naye wabuzwela. Uyabazi ubuhlungu obulethwa ububi futhi ubuthathile, usikhombisa ukuthi singamethemba uNkulunkulu.

UNkulunkulu unamacebo ngathi ngoba wasidala ngomfanekiso wakhe (1. mose 1,27). Usicela ukuba sihambisane naye - ngomusa, hhayi ngamandla. KuJesu, uNkulunkulu usinika isibonelo esingasilingisa futhi okufanele sisilingise: isibonelo sokuthobeka, ukukhonza ngokuzidela, uthando nesihawu, ukholo nethemba.

“UNkulunkulu uluthando,” kubhala uJohane (1. UJohannes 4,8). Wabonisa uthando lwakhe ngathi ngokuthumela uJesu ukuba azofela izono zethu, ukuze imingcele phakathi kwethu noNkulunkulu iwe futhi ekugcineni siphile naye enjabulweni yaphakade. Uthando lukaNkulunkulu alukona ukuphupha - luyisenzo esisisiza ezidingweni zethu ezijulile.

Sifunda okuningi ngoNkulunkulu ngokubethelwa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kunasekuvukeni kwakhe. UJesu usikhombisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzimisele ukuhlupheka, ngisho nobuhlungu obudalwa abantu abasizayo. Uthando lwakhe luyamemeza, luyakhuthaza. Akasiphoqi ukuba senze intando yakhe.

Uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngathi, oluvezwa ngokucace kakhulu kuJesu Kristu, luyisibonelo sethu: “Lolu luthando: akukhona ukuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda futhi wathumela iNdodana yakhe ukuba ibe-yinhlawulo ngezono zethu. Bathandekayo, uma uNkulunkulu wasithanda kangaka, nathi kufanele sithandane.”1. (Johane 4:10-11). Uma siphila othandweni, ukuphila okuphakade kuyoba injabulo hhayi kithina kuphela kodwa nakulabo abasizungezile.

Nangabe silandzela Jesu ekuphileni, sitawumlandzela ekufeni naseluvukweni. UNkulunkulu ofanayo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo uyosivusa futhi asinike ukuphila okuphakade (Roma 8,11). Kodwa: uma singakufundi ukuthanda, nathi ngeke sikujabulele ukuphila okuphakade. Kungakho uNkulunkulu esifundisa ukuthanda ngesivinini esingahamba ngaso, ngesibonelo esihle asibambe phambi kwamehlo ethu, eguqula izinhliziyo zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele osebenza kithi. Amandla abusa amandla enuzi elanga asebenza ngothando ezinhliziyweni zethu, ayasinxenxa, azuza uthando lwethu, azuza ukwethembeka kwethu.

UNkulunkulu usinika injongo yokuphila, indlela yokuphila, ithemba lokuphila okuphakade. Singamethemba ngisho noma kudingeka sihlupheke ngenxa yokwenza okuhle. Ngemva kobuhle bukaNkulunkulu kumi amandla akhe; uthando lwakhe luqondiswa ukuhlakanipha kwakhe. Wonke amandla omkhathi alawulwa nguye futhi uwasebenzisela ukuzuzisa thina. Kodwa siyazi ukuthi konke kusebenzelana kube ngokuhle kwabamthandayo uNkulunkulu...” (Roma 8,28).
