Yini insindiso

Kungani ngiphila Ingabe ukuphila kwami ​​kunenjongo? Kuzokwenzekani kimi lapho ngifa? Imibuzo eyisisekelo wonke umuntu ake wazibuza yona ngaphambili. Imibuzo esizokunikeza yona impendulo lapha, impendulo okufanele ikhombise: Yebo, impilo inencazelo; yebo, kukhona ukuphila emva kokufa. Akukho okuphephe njengokufa. Ngelinye ilanga sithola izindaba ezesabekayo zokuthi othandekayo ushonile. Ngokungazelelwe kusikhumbuza ukuthi nathi kufanele sife kusasa, ngonyaka ozayo noma engxenyeni yekhulu leminyaka. Ukwesaba ukufa kwaxosha abanye babanqobi uPonce de Leon ukufuna umthombo wodumo wobusha. Kepha umvuni akanakuphendukiswa. Ukufa kuza kuwo wonke umuntu. 

Abantu abaningi namuhla babeka amathemba abo ekwandisweni nasekuthuthukisweni kwempilo yesayensi nobuchwepheshe. Yeka umuzwa lapho ososayensi bebengaphumelela ekutholeni izinqubo zebhayoloji ezingabambezela ukuguga noma mhlawumbe zikuyeke ngokuphelele! Kungaba izindaba ezinkulu kakhulu nezamukelekayo ngentshiseko emlandweni wezwe.

Kodwa-ke, ngisho nasemhlabeni wethu wobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu, abantu abaningi bayabona ukuthi leli yiphupho elingenakufinyeleleka. Abaningi-ke banamathela ethembeni lokusinda emva kokufa. Mhlawumbe ungomunye walabo bantu abanethemba. Bekungeke yini kube kuhle uma ngempela impilo yomuntu ibinokudalelwa okuthile okuhle? Isiphetho esasihlanganisa impilo engunaphakade? Lelo themba likuhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso.

Ngempela, uNkulunkulu uhlose ukunikeza abantu ukuphila okuphakade. UNkulunkulu, ongaqambi amanga, ubhala umphostoli uPawulu, wathembisa ithemba ekuphileni okuphakade ... ezikhathini zasendulo (Thithu 1: 2).

Kwenye indawo ubhala ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna bonke abantu basindiswe futhi bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso (1. Thimothewu 2:4, umhumushi wezixuku). Ngevangeli lensindiso, elashunyayelwa nguJesu Kristu, umusa kaNkulunkulu onempilo wabonakala kubo bonke abantu (Thithu 2:11).

Ugwetshwe ukufa

Isono safika emhlabeni ensimini yase-Edene. U-Adamu no-Eva bona, nenzalo yabo nayo yalandela. KwabaseRoma 3, uPawule uchaza ukuthi bonke abantu banesono.

• Akekho olungile (ivesi 10)
• Akekho ongabuza ngoNkulunkulu (ivesi 11)
• Akakho owenza okuhle (ivesi 12)
• Akukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu (ivesi 18).

... bonke bayizoni futhi abanayo inkazimulo okufanele babe nayo noNkulunkulu, uPawulu uthi (v. 23). Ubala ububi obubangelwa ukungakwazi kwethu ukunqoba isono - okuhlanganisa umona, ukubulala, ukuziphatha okubi ngokobulili, nobudlova (KwabaseRoma 1: 29-31).

Umphostoli uPetru ukhuluma ngalobu buthakathaka bomuntu njengezifiso zenyama ezilwa nomphefumulo (1. Petru 2:11); UPawulu ukhuluma ngazo njengezinkanuko zesono (KwabaseRoma 7:5). Uthi umuntu uphila ngendlela yaleli zwe futhi ufuna ukwenza intando yenyama nezinzwa (Kwabase-Efesu 2: 2-3). Ngisho nesenzo nomcabango womuntu ongcono kakhulu akwenzi ubulungisa kulokho iBhayibheli elikubiza ngokuthi ukulunga.

Umthetho kaNkulunkulu uchaza isono

Ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukona, ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukwenza okuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu, kungachazwa kuphela ngokumelene nesizinda somthetho waphezulu. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu ubonakalisa isimo sikaNkulunkulu. Ibeka izimiso zokuziphatha komuntu okungenasono. ... inkokhelo yesono, uPawulu uyabhala, ukufa (KwabaseRoma 6:23). Lokhu kuhlotshaniswa kwesono esinesigwebo sokufa kwaqala kubazali bethu bokuqala u-Adamu no-Eva. UPawulu uyasitshela: ... njengoba nje isono sangena ezweni ngomuntu oyedwa [u-Adamu], nokufa kwangena ngesono, kanjalo ukufa kwafika kubo bonke abantu ngoba bonke bonile (KwabaseRoma 5:12).

UNkulunkulu kuphela ongasisindisa

Inkokhelo, isijeziso sesono, ukufa, futhi sonke sikufanele ngoba sonke sonile. Akukho esingakwenza ngokwethu ukugwema ukufa okuthile. Asikwazi ukubhekana noNkulunkulu. Asinalutho esingamnika lona. Ngisho nemisebenzi emihle ayinakusisindisa kunhlekelele yethu efanayo. Akukho esingakwenza ngokwethu okungashintsha ukungapheleli kwethu ngokomoya.

Isimo esibucayi, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi sinethemba elithile. UPawulu wabhalela abaseRoma ukuthi isintu singaphansi kokungapheli ngaphandle kwentando yakho, kodwa ngaye lowo osithobile, kodwa ethembeni (KwabaseRoma 8:20).

UNkulunkulu uzosisindisa kithi. Yeka izindaba ezinhle! UPawulu uyanezela: ... ngokuba nayo indalo iyakukhululwa ebugqileni bokubhubha, iye enkululekweni ekhazimulayo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu (ivesi 21). Manje ake sihlolisise isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sensindiso.

UJesu ubuyisana nathi noNkulunkulu

Ngisho nangaphambi kokudalwa kwesintu, icebo likaNkulunkulu lensindiso lasungulwa. Kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wayeyiWundlu elikhethiwe lomhlatshelo (IsAmbulo 13:8). UPetru umemezela ukuthi umKristu uyohlengwa ngegazi eliyigugu likaKristu, elakhethwa ngaphambi kokubekwa komhlaba.1. (Funda uPetru 1:18-20.)

Isinqumo sikaNkulunkulu sokuletha umnikelo wesono yilokho uPawulu akuchaza njengenjongo yaphakade uNkulunkulu ayenza ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu (Kwabase-Efesu 3:11). Ngokwenza kanjalo, uNkulunkulu wayefuna ezikhathini ezizayo ... ukuba abonise ingcebo echichimayo yomusa wakhe ngomusa wakhe kithi kuKristu Jesu (Kwabase-Efesu 2: 7).

UJesu waseNazaretha, uNkulunkulu osenyameni, weza wakha phakathi kwethu (NgokukaJohane 1:14). Wathatha umuntu futhi wabelana ngezidingo zethu nezinkathazo zethu. Walingwa njengathi kodwa wahlala engenasono (KumaHeberu 4:15). Nakuba ayephelele futhi engenasono, wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yezono zethu.

Sifunda ukuthi uJesu wabethela isikweletu sethu somoya esiphambanweni. Wasusa i-akhawunti yethu yezono ukuze siphile. UJesu wafa ukuze asisindise!
Injongo kaNkulunkulu yokuthumela uJesu ivezwe kafushane kwelinye lamavesi eBhayibheli adume kakhulu emhlabeni wobuKristu: Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba bonke abakholwa yiyo bangabhubhi, kodwa kube phakade. ukuphila kube nakho (Johane 3:16).

Isenzo sikaJesu siyasisindisa

UNkulunkulu wathumela uJesu emhlabeni ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye (NgokukaJohane 3:17). Insindiso yethu ingenzeka ngoJesu kuphela. ... ayikho enye insindiso, futhi alikho elinye igama elinikezwe abantu phansi kwezulu, esingasindiswa ngalo (IzEnzo 4:12).

Ehlelweni likaNkulunkulu lensindiso kufanele silungisiswe futhi sibuyisane noNkulunkulu. Ukulungisiswa kudlula kude ukuthethelelwa kwezono (okufakiwe nokho). UNkulunkulu uyasisindisa esonweni, futhi ngamandla omoya ongcwele usenza sikwazi ukumethemba, ukumlalela, nokumthanda.
Umhlatshelo kaJesu uwukubonakaliswa komusa kaNkulunkulu, osusa izono zomuntu futhi uqede nesigwebo sokufa. UPawule ubhala ukuthi ukulungisiswa (ngomusa kaNkulunkulu) okuholela ekuphileni kweza ngokulunga okukodwa okuqondene nabantu bonke (KwabaseRoma 5:18).

Ngaphandle komhlatshelo kaJesu nomusa kaNkulunkulu, sihlala sisebugqilini besono. Sonke siyizoni, sonke sibhekene nesigwebo sentambo. Isono sehlukanisa noNkulunkulu. Kwakha udonga phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nathi okumele ludilizwe ngumusa wakhe.

Silahlwa kanjani isono

Icebo likaNkulunkulu lensindiso lidinga ukuthi isono silahlwe. Siyafunda: Ngokuthumela iNdodana Yakhe isesimweni senyama enesono ... [UNkulunkulu] wasilahla isono enyameni (KwabaseRoma 8:3). Lokhu kulahlwa kunezilinganiso ezimbalwa. Ekuqaleni kwakukhona isijeziso sethu esingenakugwenywa ngenxa yesono, ukulahlwa ekufeni okuphakade. Lesi sigwebo sokufa singalahlwa kuphela noma siguqulwe ngomnikelo wesono ophelele. Yilokhu okwabangela ukuba uJesu afe.

UPawulu wabhalela abase-Efesu ukuthi lapho sebefile esonweni baphiliswa kanye noKristu (Kwabase-Efesu 2:5). Lokhu kulandelwa umusho owumongo ocacisa ukuthi sizuza kanjani ukusindiswa: ... ngomusa nisindisiwe ...; Kungomusa kuphela lapho insindiso ifinyelelwa khona.

Ngesinye isikhathi, ngesono, sasifana nabafileyo, kepha sisaphila enyameni. Noma ngubani olungisiswe nguNkulunkulu usengaphansi kokufa kwenyama, kepha kungenzeka ukuthi usevele ungunaphakade.

UPawulu uyasitshela kwabase-Efesu 2:8 : Ngoba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, futhi lokho akuveli kini: kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu ... Ukulunga kusho: ukubuyisana noNkulunkulu. Isono sidala ukuhlukana phakathi kwethu noNkulunkulu. Ukulungisiswa kususa lokhu kuhlukaniswa kusiholela ebuhlotsheni obuseduze noNkulunkulu. Bese sihlengwa emiphumeleni emibi yesono. Sisindisiwe ezweni elithunjiwe. Sihlanganyela ... ngemvelo yobuNkulunkulu futhi siphunyukile ... izifiso ezimbi zezwe (2. Petru 1:4).

Ngabantu abasebudlelwaneni obunjalo noNkulunkulu, uPawule uthi: Njengoba manje sesilungile ngokukholwa, sinokuthula noNkulunkulu, iNkosi yethu
UJesu Kristu ... (KwabaseRoma 5: 1).

Ngakho-ke umKristu manje uphila ngaphansi komusa, engagonyiwe esonweni, kodwa ngokuqhubekayo eholela ekuphendukeni ngoMoya oNgcwele. UJohane uyabhala: “Kepha uma sisivuma isono sethu, yena uthembekile, ulungile, ukuthi uyasithethelela izono zethu, asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi.1. Johane 1:9).

NjengamaKristu, ngeke sisaba nesimo sengqondo esinesono. Kunalokho, siyothela izithelo zikaMoya kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu (Galathiya 5:22-23).

UPawulu uyabhala: Ngoba thina singumsebenzi wakhe, sidalelwe kuKristu Jesu imisebenzi emihle ... ( Efesu 2: 1 0). Ngeke silungisiswe ngemisebenzi emihle. Umuntu uba ngolungileyo ... ngokukholwa kuKristu, hhayi ngemisebenzi yomthetho (Galathiya 2:16).

Siba ngabalungileyo ... ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yomthetho, ngokukholwa kuphela (KwabaseRoma 3:28). Kodwa uma sihamba ngendlela kaNkulunkulu, siyozama nokumjabulisa. Asisindiswa ngemisebenzi yethu, kodwa uNkulunkulu usinike insindiso ukuze senze imisebenzi emihle.

Asikwazi ukuthola umusa kaNkulunkulu. Uyasinika. Insindiso akuyona into esingayisebenzisela ukuzisola noma umsebenzi wenkolo. Umusa nomusa kaNkulunkulu kuhlala kuyinto engafaneleki.

UPawulu ubhala ukuthi ukulungisiswa kuza ngomusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu (Thithu 3:4). Akuveli ngenxa yemisebenzi yokulunga esiyenzile, kodwa ngenxa yesihawu sakhe (v. 5).

Yiba ngumntwana kaNkulunkulu

Uma uNkulunkulu esibizile futhi sesilandele ubizo ngokukholwa nangokuthemba, uNkulunkulu usenza abantwana bakhe. UPawulu usebenzisa ukutholwa lapha njengesibonelo ukuchaza isenzo somusa kaNkulunkulu: Samukela umoya wobuntwana ... esikhala ngawo sithi: Abba, Baba othandekayo! ( Roma 8:15 ) Ngalokho siba abantwana bakaNkulunkulu nezindlalifa, okuyizindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu nezindlalifa kanye noKristu (amavesi 16-17).

Ngaphambi kokuthola umusa, sasisebugqilini bamandla omhlaba (Galathiya 4:3). UJesu uyasihlenga ukuze sibe nabantwana (ivesi 5). UPawuli uthi: Ngoba manje seniyizingane ... aniseyona inceku, kodwa ningumntwana; kepha uma engumntwana, kuyifa elivela kuNkulunkulu (amavesi 6-7). Leso isithembiso esimangalisayo. Singaba abantwana bokutholwa bakaNkulunkulu futhi sizuze ukuphila okuphakade. Igama lesiGreki elisho ubundodana kumaRoma 8:15 nakwabaseGalathiya 4:5 lithi huiothesia. UPawulu usebenzisa leli gama ngendlela ekhethekile ebonisa inkambiso yomthetho wamaRoma. Ezweni lamaRoma lapho kwakuhlala khona abafundi bayo, ukutholwa kwezingane kwakunencazelo ekhethekile okwakungenjalo phakathi kwabantu ababengaphansi kweRoma.

Ezweni lamaRoma nelamaGrikhi, ukwamukelwa kwaba yinto ejwayelekile ezigabeni eziphezulu. Ingane yokutholwa yakhethwa yodwa ngumndeni. Amalungelo asemthethweni adluliselwe enganeni. Yayisetshenziswa njengefa.

Uma wamukelwa ngumndeni wamaRoma, ubudlelwano obusha bomndeni babubopha ngokomthetho. Ukutholwa akulethi izibopho kuphela kepha kwanikeza namalungelo omndeni. Ukutholwa njengomntwana bekuyinto yokugcina, ukudluliselwa emndenini omusha kuyinto ebophezela kakhulu ukuthi owathathwa aphathwe njengengane yokuzalwa. Njengoba uNkulunkulu engunaphakade, amaKrestu aseRoma aqonde kahle ukuthi uPawulu wayefuna ukuthi kubo lapha: Indawo yakho endlini kaNkulunkulu ingunaphakade.

UNkulunkulu ukhetha ukusamukela ngenjongo futhi ngabanye. UJesu uveza lobu budlelwane obusha noNkulunkulu, esibuzuza ngalokhu, ngomunye uphawu: Engxoxweni noNikodemu uthi kufanele sizalwe ngokusha (Johane 3: 3).

Lokhu kusenza sibe abantwana bakaNkulunkulu. UJohane uthi kithi: Bhekani uthando olungaka asibonise lona uBaba lokuba sibizwe ngokuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, nathi siyibo! Kungakho izwe lingasazi; ngoba akamazi. Bathandekayo, sesingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu kakade; kodwa akukavezwa ukuthi sizoba yini. Kepha siyazi ukuthi lapho sekwambulwa, siyakuba njengaso; ngoba sizombona njengoba enjalo (1. Johane 3:1-2).

Kusuka ekufeni kuya ekungafini

Ngakho-ke sesivele singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, kodwa singakakhazinyuliswa. Umzimba wethu wamanje kufanele uguqulwe uma sifuna ukuthola impilo yaphakade. Umzimba wenyama, owonakalayo kufanele ubuyiselwe ngomzimba ongunaphakade futhi ongaboli.

In 1. KwabaseKorinte 15 UPawulu uyabhala: Kodwa omunye angase abuze: “Abafileyo bayovuka kanjani, futhi bayofika benamzimba onjani na? (Ivesi 35). Umzimba wethu manje ungowenyama, uwuthuli (amavesi 42-49). Inyama negazi akunakulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu, ongokomoya nongunaphakade (v. 50). Ngokuba lokhu okonakalayo kumelwe ukwembatha ukungaboli, nalokhu okufayo kumelwe ukwembatha ukungafi (v. 53).

Lokhu kuguqulwa kokugcina kwenzeka kuphela ekuvukeni, ekubuyeni kukaJesu. UPawulu uyachaza: “Silindele uMsindisi, iNkosi uJesu Kristu, oyoguqula imizimba yethu eyize ukuze ifane nomzimba Wakhe okhazinyulisiwe (Filipi 3:20-21). UmKristu othembayo futhi olalela uNkulunkulu usenabo ubuzwe ezulwini. Kodwa waqaphela kuphela ekubuyeni kukaKristu
lokhu ekugcineni; kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho umKristu ezuza khona ukungafi nokugcwala kombuso kaNkulunkulu.

Yeka indlela esingabonga ngayo ngokuthi uNkulunkulu usenze safanelekela ifa labangcwele ekukhanyeni (KwabaseKolose 1:12). UNkulunkulu wasikhulula emandleni obumnyama wasibeka embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo (ivesi 13).

Isidalwa esisha

Labo abamukelwe embusweni kaNkulunkulu bajabulela ifa labangcwele ekukhanyeni inqobo nje uma beqhubeka nokwethemba nokulalela uNkulunkulu. Ngoba sisindiswe ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ukutholakala kwensindiso kuyaqedwa futhi kuqediwe ngokubona kwakhe.

UPawulu uyachaza ukuthi uma umuntu ekuKristu uyisidalwa esisha; okudala kudlulile, bheka, okusha sekufikile (2. KwabaseKorinte 5:17). UNkulunkulu usibeke uphawu nasezinhliziyweni zethu njenge
Isithembiso sinikezwe umoya (2. KwabaseKorinte 1:22). Umuntu ophendukile, ozinikele usevele eyisidalwa esisha.

Ongaphansi komusa usengumntwana kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu ubanika amandla labo abakholwa egameni lakhe ukuba babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu (NgokukaJohane 1:12).

UPawule uchaza izipho zikaNkulunkulu kanye nokubiza kwakhe njengokungenakuguquleka (KwabaseRoma 11:29, isixuku). Ngakho-ke wayekwazi futhi ukuthi: ... Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi lowo owaqala umsebenzi omuhle kinina futhi uyowuqeda kuze kube usuku lukaKristu Jesu ( Filipi 1: 6 ).

Ngisho noma umuntu uNkulunkulu amnikeze umusa ekhubeka ngezikhathi ezithile: UNkulunkulu uhlala ethembekile kuye. Indaba yendodana yolahleko (Luka 15) ibonisa ukuthi abakhethiweyo nababiziweyo bakaNkulunkulu basengabantwana bakhe ngisho nezinyathelo ezingalungile. UNkulunkulu ulindele ukuba labo abakhubekile bahoxe futhi babuyele kuye. Akafuni ukwahlulela abantu, ufuna ukubasindisa.

Indodana yolahleko yaseBhayibhelini yayiziyele kuyo ngempela. Wathi: Ubaba unezisebenzi zosuku ezingaki ezinensada yesinkwa, mina ngibulawa indlala lapha! ( Luka 15:17 ) Iphuzu licacile. Lapho indodana yolahleko ibona ubuwula balokho eyayikwenza, yaphenduka futhi yabuyela ekhaya. Uyise wamxolela. Njengoba uJesu esho: Esekude, uyise wayibona, wakhala; wagijima wawela entanyeni yakhe wamanga (Luka 15:20). Indaba ibonisa ukwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu kubantwana bakhe.

Indodana yabonisa ukuthobeka nokwethemba, yaphenduka. Wathi, Baba, ngonile kulo izulu nakuwe; angisafanele ukubizwa ngendodana yakho (Luka 15:21).

Kodwa uyise akathandanga ukuzwa ngakho wahlela ukuba kube nedili lobuya. Wathi indodana yami yayifile, yabuye yaphila; ubelahlekile futhi usetholakele (v. 32).

Lapho uNkulunkulu esisindisa, siba ngabantwana baKhe kuze kube phakade. Uzoqhubeka nokusebenza nathi size sihlangane ngokuphelele naye ovukweni.

Isipho sempilo elaphakade

Ngomusa wakhe, uNkulunkulu usinika izithembiso ezithandekayo nezinkulu kakhulu (2. Petru 1:4). Ngabo sithola ingxenye ... yesimo saphezulu. Imfihlo yomusa kaNkulunkulu ingaphakathi
ithemba eliphilayo ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu kwabafileyo (1. Petru 1:3). Lelo themba liyifa elingenakufa esigcinelwe lona ezulwini ( ivesi 4 ). Okwamanje sisalondolozwe emandleni kaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa ... ensindisweni elungele ukwambulwa ngesikhathi sokugcina (v. 5).

Icebo likaNkulunkulu lensindiso ekugcineni lizofezeka ngokubuya kukaJesu kwesibili nokuvuka kwabafileyo. Khona-ke ukuguqulwa okukhulunywe ngakho ngenhla kusuka kokufayo kuya kokungafi kwenzeka. Umphostoli uJohane uthi: “Kodwa siyazi ukuthi lapho sekwambulwa, siyofana naye; ngoba sizombona njengoba enjalo (1. Johane 3:2).

Ukuvuka kukaKristu kusiqinisekisa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu uyosihlenga isithembiso kithi sokuvuka kwabafileyo. Bhekani, nginitshela imfihlo, kubhala uPawulu. asiyikulala sonke, kepha siyakuguqulwa sonke; futhi kungazelelwe, ngokuphazima kweso ... abafileyo bayovuka bengenakonakala, futhi thina siyoguqulwa (1. (Funda kwabaseKorinte 15:51-52.) Lokhu kwenzeka ekukhaleni kwecilongo lokugcina, ngaphambi nje kokubuya kukaJesu ( IsAmbulo 11:15 ).

UJesu uthembisa ukuthi yilowo nalowo okholwa kuye uyoba nokuphila okuphakade; Ngiyakumvusa ngosuku lokugcina, uyathembisa (Johane 6:40).

Umphostoli uPawulu uyachaza: “Ngokuba uma sikholwa ukuthi uJesu wafa wabuye wavuka, uNkulunkulu uyobaletha nabalele naye ngoJesu;1. Thesalonika 4:14). Okushiwo futhi yisikhathi sokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu. UPawulu uyaqhubeka: “Ngokuba yona uqobo, iNkosi, nxa isimemezelo simemezelwa… Khona-ke abayobe besaphila ekubuyeni kukaKristu bayohlwithwa kanye nabo ngasikhathi sinye emafwini emoyeni ukuze bahlangabeze iNkosi; kanjalo siyakuba neNkosi njalo (ivesi 16).

UPawulu unxusa amaKristu: Ngakho duduzanani ngala mazwi (ivesi 18). Futhi ngesizathu esihle. Uvuko yisikhathi lapho labo abangaphansi komusa beyothola ukungafi.

Umvuzo uza noJesu

Amazwi kaPawulu asecashuniwe: “Ngokuba umusa kaNkulunkulu ongcwele wabonakala kubo bonke abantu (Thithu 2:11). Lensindiso iyithemba elibusisiwe elihlengiwe ekubonakaleni kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu (ivesi 13).

Uvuko lusesesikhathini esizayo. Siyalilinda, ngethemba njengoba kwenza uPawulu. Ngasekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe wathi: ... isikhathi sokudlula kwami ​​sesifikile (2. Thimothewu 4:6). Wayazi ukuthi wayethembekile kuNkulunkulu. Ngikulwile ukulwa okuhle, ngaqeda ukugijima, ngagcina ukholo ... (ivesi 7). Wayebheke umvuzo wakhe: ... kusukela manje kuqhubeke umqhele wokulunga ungilungiselwe, lowo iNkosi, umahluleli olungileyo, iyakunginika wona ngalolo suku, kungeyisimi ngedwa, kodwa nakubo bonke abathanda inkazimulo yakhe. ukubonakala (Ivesi 8).

Ngaleso sikhathi, uPawulu uthi, uJesu uyoguqula imizimba yethu eyize ... ukuze ifane nomzimba wakhe okhazimulayo (KwabaseFilipi 3:21). Ukuguqulwa okwenziwa nguNkulunkulu, owavusa uKristu kwabafileyo futhi uyonika ukuphila emizimbeni yenu efayo ngoMoya wakhe ohlala kini (KwabaseRoma 8:11).

Incazelo yempilo yethu

Uma singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, sizophila impilo yethu ngokuphelele noJesu Kristu. Isimo sethu sengqondo kumelwe sifane nesikaPawulu, owathi wayeyobheka ukuphila kwakhe kwangaphambili njengokungcola ukuze ngizuze uKristu ... Yena namandla okuvuka kwakhe ngifuna ukwazi.— Filipi 3:8, 10 .

UPawulu wayazi ukuthi wayengakawufinyeleli lo mgomo. Ngikhohlwa okungasemuva ngizelulela kokungaphambili ngizingele umgomo obekwe phambi kwami, umklomelo wobizo lukaNkulunkulu lwasezulwini kuKristu Jesu (amavesi 13-14).

Lowo mvuzo uwukuphila okuphakade. Noma ubani owamukela uNkulunkulu njengoYise futhi amthande, amethemba futhi ahambe, uyophila phakade enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu.1. Petru 5:1). KusAmbulo 0:21-6, uNkulunkulu uyasitshela ukuthi siyini isiphetho sethu: Ngizonika omile emthonjeni wamanzi okuphila ngesihle. Onqobayo uyokudla ifa lakho konke, futhi ngiyoba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, yena abe yindodana yami.
