Pamene tikupitiriza kuyenda muholo yodzazidwa ndi chiyembekezo… Abraham ndiye membala wathu wotsatira – “Ndi chikhulupiriro Abrahamu poitanidwa anamvera kutuluka kumka ku malo amene adzalandira monga cholowa. Ndipo anaturuka, osadziwa kumene amukako. Ndi chikhulupiriro anakhala m’dziko la lonjezano, monga ngati m’dziko lachilendo, nakhala m’mahema pamodzi ndi Isake ndi Yakobo, oloŵa nyumba pamodzi ndi iye a lonjezano lomwelo; pakuti anali kuyembekezera mzinda wokhala ndi maziko, womanga ndi womanga wake ndiye Mulungu. ( Ahebri 11:8-10 )
Abrahamu anali kukhala ku Uri wa Akasidi. Unali mzinda umene unaperekedwa kwa Nannar, mulungu wa mwezi. Tikuphunzirapo Chiyambo 12: 1-3 - “Tsopano Yehova anauza Abramu kuti: ‘Tuluka m’dziko lako, ku banja lako, ndi ku nyumba ya bambo ako, upite ku dziko limene ndidzakusonyeza. ndidzakusandutsa iwe mtundu waukulu; ndidzakudalitsa iwe, ndi kukuza dzina lako; ndipo mudzakhala mdalitso. Ndidzadalitsa akudalitsa iwe, ndi kutemberera iye wakutemberera iwe; ndipo mwa iwe mabanja onse a dziko lapansi adzadalitsidwa.’”
Kuyambira nthawi ya Adamu ndi Hava, amuna ndi akazi ankadziwa Mulungu woona. Komabe, iwo sanalemekeze Iye ndipo sanayamikire madalitso Ake. Kulambira mafano, kapena kulambira milungu yonyenga kunadzetsa kuipa kotheratu. Timaphunzira kuchokera kwa Paulo ku Aroma - “Pakuti mkwiyo wa Mulungu, wochokera Kumwamba, waonekera pa chisapembedzo chonse ndi chosalungama cha anthu, amene akanikiza choonadi m’chosalungama chawo; Pakuti chilengedwe cha dziko lapansi zaoneka bwino zosaoneka zake, ndizo mphamvu yake yosatha ndi Umulungu wake, zizindikirika m’zinthu zolengedwa; kotero kuti asakhale opanda mau akuwiringula; pakuti, anadziwa Mulungu, sanamlemekeza Iye monga , tsopano anayamika, koma anakhala opanda pake m’maganizo awo, ndi mitima yawo yopusa inadetsedwa. Podzinenera kukhala anzeru, anakhala opusa, nasandutsa ulemerero wa Mulungu wosawonongeka, naufanizira ndi chifaniziro cha munthu wowonongeka, ndi mbalame, ndi nyama za miyendo inayi, ndi zokwawa.” (Aroma 1: 18-23)
Mulungu anaitana Abrahamu, Myuda woyamba, nayambitsa chinthu chatsopano. Mulungu adayitana Abrahamu kuti adzipatule ku chivundi chomwe anali kukhala mozungulira - “Ndipo anamuka Abramu monga Yehova adanena kwa iye, ndipo Loti anamuka naye. Ndipo Abramu anali wa zaka makumi asanu ndi awiri mphambu zisanu pamene anaturuka ku Harana. ( Genesis 12:4 )
Chikhulupiriro choona sichichokera pakumverera koma pa mawu a Mulungu. Tikuphunzirapo Aroma 10: 17 - "Chifukwa chake chikhulupiriro chimadza pomva, ndi kumva mwa mawu a Mulungu."
Ahebri analembedwa kwa Ayuda amene anali kufooka m’chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Yesu. Ambiri a iwo ankafuna kubwerera m’malamulo a Pangano Lakale m’malo mokhulupirira kuti Yesu anakwaniritsa Pangano Lakale ndipo anakhazikitsa Pangano Latsopano kudzera mu imfa ndi kuuka kwake.
Ukudalira chiyani lero? Kodi mwatembenuka kuchoka ku chipembedzo (malamulo opangidwa ndi anthu, nzeru, ndi kudzikweza) ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu yekha. Chipulumutso chamuyaya chimabwera kudzera mu chikhulupiriro chokha mwa Khristu yekha kudzera mu chisomo chake chokha. Kodi mwalowa mu ubale ndi Mulungu kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mu ntchito yomalizidwa ya Khristu? Ichi ndi chimene Chipangano Chatsopano chimatiyitanirako. Kodi simudzatsegula mtima wanu ku mawu a Mulungu lero…
Yesu asanamwalire, anatonthoza atumwi ake ndi mawu awa: “‘Mtima wanu usavutike; mukhulupirira Mulungu, khulupirirani Inenso. M’nyumba ya Atate wanga alimo malo okhalamo ambiri; ngati sikudali tero, ndikadakuuzani inu. ndipita kukukonzerani inu malo. Ndipo ngati ndipita kukakonzera inu malo, ndidzabweranso, ndipo ndidzalandira inu kwa Ine ndekha; kuti kumene kuli Ine, mukakhale inunso. Ndipo kumene ndimukako mukudziŵa, ndi njirayo mukuidziwa.’ Tomasi anati kwa Iye: ‘Ambuye, sitidziwa kumene mukupita, ndipo njirayo tingaidziwe bwanji?’ Yesu anati kwa iye: ‘Ine ndine njira. , choonadi, ndi moyo. Palibe amene amafika kwa Atate osadzera mwa Ine.’” (Yohane 14: 1-6)
