Wolemba buku la Ahebri akupitilizabe kulimbikitsa okhulupirira achihebri kupita ku 'mpumulo' wawo wauzimu - “Pakuti iye amene analowa mu mpumulo wake nayenso wapumula ku ntchito zake monga Mulungu anachitira ndi Zake. Tiyeni tifulumire kulowa mu mpumulowo, kuti wina angagwe monga mwa chitsanzo chomwecho cha kusamvera. Pakuti mawu a Mulungu ali amoyo, ndi ochitachita, ndi akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse, napyoza kufikira kugawira moyo ndi mzimu, ndi zimfundo ndi mafuta a m'mafupa, nazindikiritsa zolingirira ndi zitsimikizo za mtima. Ndipo palibe cholengedwa chobisika pamaso pake, koma zonse zikhala pambalambanda ndi zovundukuka pamaso pake pa Iye amene tichita naye. ” (Ahebri 4: 10-13)
Palibe chomwe tingabweretse ku gome la Mulungu posinthana ndi chipulumutso. Chilungamo cha Mulungu chokha ndichomwe chimachita. Chiyembekezo chathu chokha ndikuti 'tivale' chilungamo cha Mulungu kudzera mchikhulupiliro pa zomwe Yesu watichitira.

Pakuti ndikuwachitira umboni kuti ali ndi changu cha kwa Mulungu, koma osati monga mwa chidziwitso. Pakuti posadziwa chilungamo cha Mulungu, ndipo pofuna kukhazikitsa chilungamo chawo, sanagonjere chilungamo cha Mulungu. Pakuti Khristu ndiye mathero a lamulo kuti chilungamo chikhale kwa aliyense amene akhulupirira. ” (Aroma 10: 1-4)
Uthenga wosavuta wachipulumutso kudzera mchikhulupiliro chokha mwa chisomo chokha mwa Khristu yekha ndi zomwe Kukonzanso kwa Chiprotestanti kunali. Komabe, kuyambira pomwe mpingo udabadwa pa Pentekosti mpaka pano, anthu akhala akupitiliza kuwonjezera zofunikira zina ku uthengawu.
Monga mawu pamwambapa ochokera ku Ahebri akunenera, 'Iye amene adalowa mpumulo wake adapumulanso mwini ku ntchito zake monga Mulungu adachitira ndi Zake.' Tikavomereza zomwe Yesu watichitira kudzera mchikhulupiliro cha Iye, timasiya kuyesa "kupeza" chipulumutso kudzera munjira ina iliyonse.
'Kukhala achangu' kulowa mpumulo wa Mulungu kumamveka kwachilendo. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa chipulumutso kwathunthu kudzera mu kuyenera kwa Khristu, ndipo osati kwathu kuli kosiyana ndi momwe dziko lathu lakugwa limagwirira ntchito. Zikuwoneka zosamvetseka kusakhoza kugwira ntchito pazomwe timapeza.
Paulo adauza Aroma za Amitundu - “Tidzanena chiyani tsono? Kuti amitundu, amene sanatsatire chilungamo, adapeza chilungamo, ndicho chilungamo cha chikhulupiriro; koma Aisraeli, akutsata lamulo la chilungamo, sanafikire lamulo la chilungamo. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa sanachifunefune ndi chikhulupiriro, koma titero, ndi ntchito za lamulo. Pakuti adapunthwa pa mwala wopunthwitsa. Monga kwalembedwa, Taonani, ndayika m'Ziyoni mwala wakupunthwitsa, ndi thanthwe lopunthwitsa; ndipo iye amene akhulupirira Iye sadzachita manyazi. ” (Aroma 9: 30-33)
Mawu a Mulungu ndi 'amoyo ndi amphamvu' ndi 'akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse.' Ndi 'kuboola,' mpaka kugawanitsa moyo ndi mzimu wathu. Mawu a Mulungu 'amazindikira' malingaliro ndi zolinga za mitima yathu. Ndi yekhayo amene angatiulule 'ife' kwa 'ife.' Ili ngati galasi lowonekera lomwe limawulula omwe tili, omwe nthawi zina amapweteka kwambiri. Zimaulula kudzinyenga kwathu, kunyada, ndi zilakolako zathu zopusa.
Palibe cholengedwa chobisikira Mulungu. Palibe paliponse komwe tingapite kukabisala kwa Mulungu. Palibe chomwe sakudziwa za ife, ndipo chodabwitsa ndichakuti amapitilizabe kutikonda.
Titha kudzifunsa mafunso otsatirawa: Kodi tidalowadi mpumulo wauzimu wa Mulungu? Kodi timazindikira kuti tsiku lina tonse tidzayankha mlandu kwa Mulungu? Kodi taphimbidwa mu chilungamo cha Mulungu kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu? Kapena tikukonzekera kuyimirira pamaso pake ndikudzichitira zabwino zathu ndi ntchito zathu zabwino?
