Ngubani okanye yintoni ukholo lwakho?
Umbhali wamaHebhere uyaqhubeka nezibongozo zakhe ngokholo- “Ngokholo uEnoki wafuduswa ukuze angaboni kufa, akaba nakufunyanwa ke, ngenxa yokuba uThixo wayemthabathile; Kuba ngaphambi kokuba athatyathwe, wayengqinelwa ukuba umkholise kakuhle uThixo. Ke, lungekho ukholo, akunakubakho ukumkholisa kakuhle; kuba lowo uzayo kuThixo, umelwe kukukholwa ukuba ukho, nokuba ungumvuzi wabo bamfunayo. (Heb. 11: 5-6)
Sifunda ngoEnoki kwincwadi yeGenesis- “UEnoki wahlala iminyaka emashumi mathandathu anesihlanu, wazala uMethusela. UEnoki wahamba noThixo iminyaka emakhulu mathathu, wazala oonyana neentombi. Iyonke imihla kaEnoki yaba yiminyaka emakhulu mathathu, anamanci mathandathu anamihlanu. UEnoki wahamba noThixo; akabakho, ngokuba uThixo wamthabatha. ( Genesis 5:21-24 )
Kwileta eya kwabaseRoma, uPawulos ufundisa (ngokucaphula iindinyana kwiiNdumiso) ukuba ihlabathi liphela - kuquka wonke umntu osehlabathini, unetyala phambi koThixo - Akukho lungisa, hayi, nalinye; Akukho namnye uqondayo; Akukho namnye ufuna uThixo. Bonke batyekile; zihlangene kunye; Akukho wenza okulungileyo, hayi. (Roma 3: 10-12) Ke, ebhekisa kumthetho kaMoses wabhala - “Ngoku siyazi ukuba nantoni na ethethwa ngumthetho, uthi kwabo baphantsi komthetho, ukuze imilomo yonke ivingcwe, nehlabathi lonke libe netyala phambi koThixo. Ngokokuba, ngokwasemisebenzini yomthetho, akuyi kugwetyelwa nyama emehlweni akhe; kuba isono saziwe ngokubakho komthetho. (Roma 3: 19-20)
UPawulos ujika achaze indlela ‘esigwetyelwa ngayo sonke’ okanye senziwa amalungisa kuThixo— “Kodwa ngoku kubonakalisiwe ubulungisa bukaThixo, kungekho mthetho, bungqinelwa ngumthetho nabaprofeti, ubulungisa ke bukaThixo obungokukholwa kuYesu Kristu, kubo bonke abakholwayo. Kuba akukho kwahluka; kuba bonile bonke, basilelela eluzukweni lukaThixo, begwetyelwa ngesisa lubabalo lwakhe ngako ukukhululwa ngentlawulelo ekuYesu Kristu.” (Roma 3: 21-24)
Sifunda ntoni ngoYesu kwiTestamente eNtsha? Sifunda kwivangeli kaYohane - “Ekuqalekeni ube ekho uLizwi, waye uLizwi ekuye uThixo, waye uLizwi enguThixo. Yena wayekunye noThixo. Zonke izinto zadalwa ngaye, ngaphandle kwakhe akubangakho nto idaliweyo. Indalo yonke ke yayimkhanyisela ubomi, baye ubomi obo bulukhanyiselo lwabantu. Ukhanyiso ke olo lwabonakala ebumnyameni, basuka ubumnyama abaluqiqa. (Yohane 1: 1-5) ... kwaye kuLuka kwiZenzo - (intshumayelo kaPetros ngoMhla wePentekosti) “Madoda, maSirayeli, waveni la mazwi: UYesu waseNazarete, indoda engqinelweyo nguThixo kuni ngemisebenzi yamandla, nangezimanga, nangemiqondiso, awayenzayo uThixo ngayo phakathi kwenu, njengokuba nisazi nani ngokwenu, ehlangulwe ngokwesigqibo sakhe. nokwazi uThixo ngenxa engaphambili, nithabathe ngezandla ezichasene nomthetho, nambethela emnqamlezweni, nambulala; athe uThixo wamvusa, eyikhulule inimba yokufa, ngokokuba ebengenako ukubanjwa kuko.” (Izenzo 2: 22-24)
UPawulos, owayengumFarisi ephila phantsi komthetho, wayeyiqonda ingozi yokomoya yokubuyela phantsi komthetho, kunokuba eme elukholweni ngobabalo okanye ukufaneleka kukaKristu kuphela - uPawulos walumkisa amaGalati - “Kuba bonke abangabasemisebenzini yomthetho baphantsi kwesiqalekiso; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uqalekisiwe wonke umntu ongamiyo ezintweni zonke ezibhaliweyo encwadini yomthetho, ukuba azenze. Okokuba ke akukho namnye ugwetyelwayo ngomthetho emehlweni kaThixo, kuyabonakala; ngokuba lowo ulilungisa uya kudla ubomi obuphuma elukholweni. Wona ke umthetho asingowaselukholweni; umntu owazenzayo ezo zinto uya kudla ubomi ngazo. UKristu wasithenga, wasikhulula esiqalekisweni somthetho, ngokwenziwa isiqalekiso ngenxa yethu (kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uqalekisiwe wonke umntu oxhonywe emthini); ukuze intsikelelo ka-Abraham ibe phezu kweentlanga ngoKristu Yesu, silamkele idinga loMoya ngalo ukholo. ( Galati 3: 10-14 )
Yanga singaphethukela kuYesu Krestu ngokholo kwaye sithembele kuYe yedwa. Nguye kuphela ohlawule intlawulelo yethu yanaphakade.
