Munyori weVahebheru anoenderera mberi achititora kuburikidza ne 'Horo' yekutenda - “Nokutenda Noa, akati anyeverwa naMwari pamusoro pezvinhu zvichigere kuonekwa, achitya Mwari, akagadzira areka kuti aponese imba yake, akapa nyika mhosva nayo, akava mugari wenhaka yokururama kunouya nokutenda.” ((VaHebheru 11:7)
Mwari akanyevera Noa nezvechii? Akayambira Noa. “Kupera kwenyama yose kwasvika pamberi pangu, nokuti nyika izere nekumanikidza nokuda kwavo; zvino tarira, ndichavaparadza pamwe nenyika. Zviitire areka nemuti womugoferi; uite makamuri muareka, uifukidze mukati nokunze nenamo... zvino tarira, ini ndinouyisa mafashame panyika, kuti ndiparadze pasi pedenga zvipenyu zvose zvine mweya weupenyu; zvose zviri panyika zvichafa. (Genesisi 6: 13-17) …Zvisinei, Mwari akaudza Noa – “Asi ndichasimbisa sungano yangu newe; uye unofanira kupinda muareka, iwe, nevanakomana vako, nemukadzi wako, nevakadzi vevanakomana vako pamwe newe. (Genesi 6: 18) …Tinobva tadzidza, “Noa akaita saizvozvo; maererano nezvose zvaakanga arayirwa naMwari, akaita saizvozvo. (Genesi 6: 22)
Takadzidza kubva VaHebheru 11: 6 kuti pasina kutenda hazvibviri kufadza Mwari, nokuti ani naani anouya kuna Mwari anofanira kutenda kuti ariko uye kuti anopa mubayiro vaya vanomutsvaka nomwoyo wose. Noa akatenda Mwari, uye hapana mubvunzo kuti Mwari akakomborera Noa nemhuri yake.
Nokuda kwokupandukira Mwari kwomunhu, Mwari akaunza rutongeso panyika yose. Noa chete nemhuri yake ndivo vakasara vari vapenyu pashure pemafashamo. Genesisi 6: 8 anotiyeuchidza - “Asi Noa akawana nyasha pamberi paJehovha.”
Areka yakavakwa naNoa inogona kufananidzwa naKristu nhasi. Kutoti Noa nemhuri yake vakanga vari muareka, vangadai vakaparara. Kunze kwekunge tiri “muna Kristu,” kusingaperi kwedu kuri munjodzi uye hatingangotamburi chete rufu rwekutanga, rufu rwenyama rwemiviri yedu, asi tinogona kutambura rufu rwechipiri, urwo rwuri kupinda muchinhano chekuparadzaniswa naMwari kusingaperi.
Hapana mumwe wedu angakodzera nyasha dzaMwari. Noa haana, uye isu hatigoni. Akanga ari mutadzi, sezvakangoitawo isu tose. Noa akava mugari wenhaka yekururama kwaMwari kuri maererano nokutenda. Kwaisava kururama kwake. VaRoma vanotidzidzisa - “Asi zvino kururama kwaMwari kwakaratidzwa kunze kwomurayiro, kuchipupurirwa noMutemo naVaprofita, iko kururama kwaMwari kunouya nokutenda muna Jesu Kristu kuna vose vanotenda. Nokuti hapana musiyano; nokuti vose vakatadza uye vakasasvika pakubwinya kwaMwari, vachiruramiswa pachena nenyasha dzake kubudikidza nokudzikinura kuri muna Kristu Jesu, uyo Mwari akagadzwa seyananiso neropa rake nokutenda, kuti kururama kwake kuratidzwe, nokuti munyasha dzake dzinoita kuti vanhu vaponeswe. mwoyo murefu waMwari wakanga wakaregerera zvivi zvakaitwa kare, kuti aratidze kururama kwake panguva ino, kuti ave akarurama uye anoruramisa uyo anotenda muna Jesu. Zvino kuzvikudza kuripi? Hazvibatanidzwi. Nomutemo upi? Zvemabasa? Kwete, asi nomurayiro wokutenda. Naizvozvo tinoti munhu unoruramiswa nokutenda kunze kwamabasa omurairo. (VaRoma 3: 21-28)
Nhasi, areka yatinoda ndiJesu Kristu. Tinounzwa muukama hwakanaka naMwari kuburikidza nokutenda munyasha dzatakapiwa naJesu chete.
