UMoya kaThixo uyangcwalisa; Imithetho elawula umsebenzi kaThixo ogqityiweyo
UYesu waqhubeka nomthandazo wakhe wokucela Bangcwalise ngayo inyaniso yakho; Ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso. Njengokuba wandithuma ehlabathini, nam ndibathume bona ehlabathini. Ngenxa yabo ke ndiyazingcwalisa mna, ukuze nabo babe ngabangcwalisiweyo yinyaniso. Andithandazeli aba bodwa, kodwa ndithandazela nabo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo; ukuze bonke babe banye; njengokuba wena, Bawo, ukum, mna ndikuwe. ukuze babe banye kuthi, ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba wena wandithuma. (KuYohane 17: 17-21Ukusuka kwiWycliffe Bible Dictionary sifunda oku kulandelayo - "Ukungcwaliswa kufuneka kwahlulwe ekuthetheni. Ngokuzithethelela uThixo ubonakalisa ikholwa, ngalo mhla wamkela uKrestu, yena kanye lo ulilungisa ka-Yesu kwaye umbone ukusuka kwangoko ukuba ufile, wangcwatywa, kwaye wavuswa kwakhona ebomini obutsha kuKristu (Rom. 6: 4 - 10) XNUMX). Yinto etshintshiweyo kube nye, kuyo yonke into, okanye emthethweni, phambi koThixo. Ukungcwaliswa, ngokuchaseneyo, yinkqubo eqhubekekayo eqhubeka ebomini bomoni owenziwe ngokutsha ngomzuzwana. Ngobungcwaliso kwenzeka impiliso enkulu yokwahlula okuye kwenzeka phakathi koThixo nomntu, umntu nendoda yakhe, umntu kunye naye, umntu nendalo. " (I-Pfeiffer 1517)
Kubalulekile ukuba siqonde ukuba sonke sizalwe sinesimo sokuwa okanye isono. Ukutyeshela le nyaniso kunokukhokelela ekukhohlisweni okuthandwayo okuthi sonke singo "thixo bancinci" ukukhwela iicawa ezahlukeneyo zenkolo okanye zokuziphatha ziye kwimeko ethile yokucinga yasemhlabeni kunye nengqibelelo kanaphakade. Uluvo lweNew Age lokuba kufuneka "sivuse" uthixo ngaphakathi kuthi sonke bubuxoki obugqibeleleyo. Imbono ecacileyo ngemeko yethu yomntu ibonisa ukuba sisoloko sisenza isono.
UPawulos ujongene nongcwaliso kumaRoma isahluko sesithandathu ukuya kwesibhozo. Uqala ngokubabuza - Sithini na ke ngoko? Singaqhubeka na esonweni ukuze ubabalo luphuphume? ” Aze aphendule owakhe umbuzo- Hayi, akunjalo! Thina safayo nje kwisono, singathini na ukuba sahlala kuso? Emva koko wazisa into thina njengamakholwa ekufuneka siyazi- Anazi na ukuba thina sonke, sabhaptizelwayo kuKristu Yesu, sabhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? UPawulos uqhubeka ebaxelela-- “Ke ngoko sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni, ukuze, njengokuba uKrestu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, sithi ngokunjalo nathi sihambe sinobomi obutsha.” (I-ROM. 6: 1-4) UPawulos usixelela nabafundi bakhe baseRoma-- Kuba xa simanyene naye ekufeni kwakhe, ngokunjalo ke siya kuba sinjengokuvuka kwakhe, sisazi ukuba, ukuba umntu wethu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uphele, ukuba singabi ngamakhoboka esono. (I-ROM. 6: 5-6) UPawulos uyasifundisa-- Ngokukwanjalo nani zibaleleni ekuthini, ukuba nifile kwisono, kodwa ningabadla ubomi kuThixo, nikuKristu Yesu, iNkosi yethu. Ke ngoko isono masingalawulwa emzimbeni ofayo, ukuze nithobele iinkanuko zawo. Kwaye amalungu enu musani ukunikela njengezixhobo zokungalungisi esonweni, kodwa zinikeleni kuThixo njengabaphilayo ekufeni, namalungu enu njengezixhobo zobulungisa kuThixo. ” (I-ROM. 6: 11-13) Emva koko uPawulos wenza ingxelo enzulu-- Kuba isono asiyi kuniphatha ngabukhosi, kuba aniphantsi komthetho, niphantsi kobabalo. (I-ROM. 6: 14)
Ubabalo uhlala uthelekiswa nomthetho. Namhlanje, lubabalo luyalawula. UYesu wahlawula lonke ixabiso lentlawulelo yethu. Xa sijika namhlanje siye nakweyiphi na indawo yomthetho ukuzithethelela okanye ukungcwaliswa, siyakwala ukugqibelela komsebenzi kaKristu. Phambi kokuba uYesu eze, umthetho waqinisekiswa ukuba awunamandla okuzisa ubomi nobulungisa (IScofiendala 1451). Ukuba uthembela emthethweni ukuba ukugwebele, qwalasela oko wakufundisayo uPawulos kumaGalati- Sisazi nje ukuba umntu akagwetyelwa ngokwaselukholweni kuYesu Kristu, sakholwayo kuKristu Yesu, ukuze sigwetyelwe nokholo kuye, kungabi ngemisebenzi yomthetho; kuba akukho namnye uya kugwetyelwa mntu ngokwasemisebenzini yomthetho. (Gal. 2:16)
UScofield uxela ukuba yintoni uxanduva lwethu malunga nokungcwaliswa kwethu - 1. ukwazi iinyani zomanyano lwethu kunye nokwaziwa kunye noKrestu ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwakhe. 2. Ukuthatha ezi zibakala ziyinyani malunga neziqu zethu. 3. ukuze sizinikele kube kanye, siphile kwabafileyo, sinako ukubanjwa nokusikwa nguThixo. 4. sithobele ekuqondeni ukuba ukungcwaliswa kunokuqhubeka kuphela xa sithobele ukuthanda kukaThixo njengoko kutyhilwa eLizwini lakhe. (IScofield 1558)
Emva kokuba size kuThixo ngokuthemba oko uYesu Krestu asenzele kona, sihlala sihleli ngoMoya wakhe ngonaphakade. Simanyene noThixo ngoMoya wakhe onamandla. NguMoya kaThixo kuphela onokusikhulula ekutsaleni kwendalo zethu eziwileyo. UPawulos wathi ngaye nangathi sonke - Kuba siyazi ukuba umthetho ungowomoya, kodwa ndingowenyama, kuthengiswe ngam, ndaba phantsi kwesono. (I-ROM. 7: 14Asinakho ukoyisa inyama yethu, okanye imeko ewileyo ngaphandle kokuvumela uMoya kaThixo. UPawulos wafundisa - Kuba umthetho woMoya wobomi, ndakuba ndikuKristu Yesu, undikhulule emthethweni wesono nokufa. Kuba oko kungenakwenziwa ngumthetho, ngokuba buthathaka esenyameni, uThixo wathuma unyana wakhe, ngokufana nenyama enesono, ngenxa yesono, wasigweba isono esenyameni, zizaliseke kuthi, esingahambi ngokwenyama, sihamba ngokoMoya. (I-ROM. 8: 2-4)
Ukuba uzinikele kuhlobo oluthile lwemfundiso engokwasemthethweni, unokuzibeka endaweni yokulahlekiswa kokulunga. Iindawo zethu eziwile zihlala zifuna intambo yokulinganisa yomthetho ukusinceda ukuba sizive ngcono ngathi. UThixo ufuna ukuba sibe nokholo kwinto asenzele yona, sisondele kuye, sifune intando yakhe ebomini bethu. Ufuna ukuba samkele ukuba nguMoya wakhe kuphela oya kuthi asinike ubabalo lokuthobela ezintlizweni zethu ilizwi lakhe kunye nentando yethu.
