Ngubani unkulunkulu

Lapho iBhayibheli likhuluma ‘ngoNkulunkulu,’ alibhekiseli kumuntu oyedwa, ngomqondo ‘wendoda endala enentshebe ecijile nesigqoko,’ ebizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu. EBhayibhelini, uNkulunkulu owasidala ubhekwa njengenhlanganisela yabantu abathathu abahlukene noma “abahlukene,” okungukuthi, uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele. Ubaba akayona indodana futhi indodana ayiyena uyise. UMoya oNgcwele akayena uYise noma iNdodana. Nakuba benobuntu obuhlukene, banezisusa, izinhloso nothando olufanayo, futhi banengqikithi nobunjalo obufanayo (1. UMose 1:26; Mathewu 28:19, Luka 3,21-enye).

UZiqu-zintathu

Abantu bakaNkulunkulu abathathu basondelene futhi bajwayelene kangangokuthi uma sazi umuntu oyedwa kaNkulunkulu, siyabazi nabanye abantu. Yingakho uJesu embula ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye, futhi yilokhu okufanele sikukhumbule lapho sithi munye kuphela uNkulunkulu ( Marku 12,29). Ukucabanga ukuthi uBantu abathathu bakaNkulunkulu babengaphansi koyedwa kungaba ukukhaphela ubunye nokusondelana kukaNkulunkulu! UNkulunkulu uluthando futhi lokho kusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyisidalwa esinobudlelwane obuseduze (1. UJohannes 4,16). Ngenxa yaleli qiniso ngoNkulunkulu, ngezinye izikhathi uNkulunkulu ubizwa ngokuthi “uZiqu-zintathu” noma “uNkulunkulu Mtatu”. UZiqu-zintathu kanye noZiqu-zintathu kokubili kusho "abathathu ebunyeni". Lapho sikhuluma igama elithi “Nkulunkulu,” sisuke sikhuluma ngabantu abathathu abahlukene ngobunye—uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele ( Mathewu. 3,16-17; 2th8,19). Kuyafana nendlela esiwaqonda ngayo amagama athi "umndeni" kanye "neqembu". "Ithimba" noma "umndeni" onabantu abahlukene kodwa abalinganayo. Lokhu akusho ukuthi kukhona onkulunkulu abathathu, ngoba uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu oyedwa kuphela, kodwa abantu abathathu abahlukene kumuntu oyedwa kaNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 12,4-ishumi nesithupha; 2. KwabaseKorinte 13:14).

zokutholwa

UNkulunkulu uZiqu-zintathu ujabulela ubuhlobo obuphelele phakathi kwabo kangangokuthi benza isinqumo sokungabugcini kubo lobu buhlobo. Muhle kakhulu kulokho! UNkulunkulu Oziqu Zintathu wayefuna ukwamukela abanye ebuhlotsheni bakhe bothando ukuze abanye bajabulele lokhu kuphila ngokuchichimayo phakade, njengesipho samahhala. Injongo kaNkulunkulu oZiqu-zintathu ukwabelana nabanye ngempilo Yakhe ejabulisayo yayiyimbangela yayo yonke indalo, futhi ikakhulukazi ukudalwa kwesintu (IHubo 8, Heberu 2,5-8). Yilokhu okushiwo iTestamente Elisha ngamagama athi “ukutholwa” noma “ukutholwa” (KwabaseGalathiya 4,4-7; Kwabase-Efesu 1,3-6; AmaRoma 8,15-17.23). UNkulunkulu Oziqu Mthathu wayehlose ukuthi yonke indalo ifakwe kuzo zonke izici zempilo kaNkulunkulu! Ukutholwa kuyisizathu sikaNkulunkulu sokuqala futhi ukuphela kwayo yonke into edaliwe! Cabanga nje ngezindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu njengoHlelo "A" lapho u-"A" emele "Ukutholwa"!

Ukuba senyameni

Ngenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu uZiqu-zintathu wayekhona ngaphambi kokuba kube khona lokhu esikubiza ngokuthi indalo, kwadingeka aqale enze indalo ibe khona ukuze ayamukele.” Kodwa kwaphakama umbuzo: Indalo kanye nobuntu kwakungangena kanjani ebudlelwaneni bukaNkulunkulu Oziqu Zintathu ohilelekile ngaphandle kokuthi uNkulunkulu onguMthathu Emnye. Yena uqobo waletha indalo kulobu budlelwano? Phela, uma ungeyena uNkulunkulu, awukwazi ukuba nguNkulunkulu nganoma iyiphi indlela! Okuthile okudaliwe akukwazi ukuba into engadalwanga. Ngandlela thize uNkulunkulu onguMthathu Emnye kwakuyodingeka abe futhi ahlale eyisidalwa (ngenkathi ehlala enguNkulunkulu) uma uNkulunkulu engasingenisa unomphela futhi asigcine ebudlelwaneni Bakhe obuvamile. Kulapho-ke ukungena kukaJesu, uNkulunkulu-umuntu, kuqala khona. UNkulunkulu iNdodana waba umuntu - lokhu kusho ukuthi akukhona neze imizamo yethu ukuziletha ebudlelwaneni noNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wabathathu ngomusa Wakhe wadonsela yonke indalo ebuhlotsheni Bakhe noJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuletha indalo ebudlelwaneni bukaNkulunkulu onguziqu-zintathu kwakuwukuba uNkulunkulu azithobe kuJesu futhi athathele indalo kuye ngesenzo sokuzithandela nesokuzithandela. Lesi senzo sikaNkulunkulu wobuthathu ukusifaka ebudlelwaneni babo ngoJesu ngokuthanda kwakhe sibizwa ngokuthi “umusa” (Kwabase-Efesu. 1,2; 2,4-ishumi nesithupha; 2. UPetrus 3,18).

Icebo likaThathu Emunye lokuba ngumuntu ngokwamukelwa kwethu lalisho ukuthi noma ngabe asikaze sone, uJesu wayezosizela! UNkulunkulu onguZiqu-zintathu wasidala ukuba samukele! UNkulunkulu akasidalelanga ukuthi asikhulule esonweni, lapho uNkulunkulu wasisindisa esonweni. UJESU KRISTU AKALONA icebo "B" noma umcabango kaNkulunkulu. Akayona nje ibhande lokunamathisela phezu kwenkinga yethu yesono. Iqiniso elimangalisayo ukuthi uJesu wayengumcabango wokuqala kaNkulunkulu futhi KUPHELA wokusiletha ebudlelwaneni noNkulunkulu. UJesu uwukugcwaliseka kwesu “A” elamiswa ngaphambi kokudalwa komhlaba (Efesu 1,5-6; IsAmbulo 13,8). UJesu weza ukuze asifake ebudlelwaneni bukaNkulunkulu Oziqu Mthathu njengoba uNkulunkulu ayehlelile kusukela ekuqaleni, futhi akukho lutho, ngisho nesono sethu, esasingavimbela lelosu! Sonke sisindisiwe kuJesu (1. UThimothi 4,9-10) ngoba uNkulunkulu wayehlose ukufeza icebo lakhe lokutholwa! UNkulunkulu onguZiqu-zintathu wasungula lolu hlelo lokutholwa kwethu kuJesu ngaphambi kokuba sidalwe, futhi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu bokutholwa njengamanje! (KwabaseGalathiya 4,4-7; Kwabase-Efesu 1,3-6; AmaRoma 8,15-enye).

Imfihlo nokufundiswa

Lelisu likaNkulunkulu labathathu lokwamukela yonke indalo ebuhlotsheni naye ngoJesu lake laba imfihlakalo akekho owayazi (KwabaseKolose. 1,24-29). Kodwa ngemva kokuba uJesu enyukele ezulwini, wathumela uMoya oNgcwele weqiniso ukuze asambulela lokhu kwamukela nokufakwa ekuphileni kukaNkulunkulu (Johane 16:5-15). Ngemfundiso kaMoya oNgcwele, manje osethululelwe phezu kwabo bonke abantu (Izenzo zabaPhostoli 2,17) nangamakholwa akholwayo nabingelela leli qiniso (Kwabase-Efesu 1,11-14), lemfihlakalo yenziwa yaziwe emhlabeni wonke (Kolose 1,3-6)! Uma leli qiniso ligcinwa liyimfihlo, asikwazi ukulamukela futhi sithole inkululeko yalo. Kunalokho, sikholelwa amanga futhi sibhekana nazo zonke izinhlobo zezinkinga zobudlelwane obungebuhle (KwabaseRoma 3:9-20, KwabaseRoma ). 5,12-19!). Kuphela lapho sifunda iqiniso ngathi kuJesu lapho siqala khona ukubona ukuthi kwakuyisono kangakanani ukubona uJesu ebunyeni bakhe nabo bonke abantu emhlabeni.4,20;1. AbaseKorinte 5,14-16; Kwabase-Efesu 4,6!). UNkulunkulu ufuna wonke umuntu azi ukuthi ungubani ngempela nokuthi singobani kuye (1. UThimothi 2,1-8). Lezi yizindaba ezinhle zomusa wakhe kuJesu (Izenzo 20:24).

isifinyezo

Njengoba le mfundiso yenkolo igxile kumuntu kaJesu, akuwona umsebenzi wethu "ukusindisa" abantu. Sifuna ukubasiza babone ukuthi uJesu ungubani nokuthi bangobani Kuye njengamanje—abantwana bakaNkulunkulu bokutholwa! Empeleni, sifuna bazi ukuthi kuJesu vele bangabakaNkulunkulu (futhi lokhu kuzobakhuthaza ukuba bakholwe, benze okulungile, futhi basindiswe!)
