UMoya kaNkulunkulu uyangcwelisa; Ukuba semthethweni kuphika umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ophothuliwe
UJesu waqhubeka nomthandazo wakhe wokuncenga - “Bangcwelise ngeqiniso Lakho. Izwi lakho liyiqiniso. Njengoba wangithuma emhlabeni, nami ngibathumele emhlabeni. Futhi ngenxa yabo ngiyazingcwelisa, ukuze nabo bangcweliswe ngeqiniso. Angikhulekeli laba bodwa, kodwa futhi labo labo abazokholwa Kimi ngezwi labo; ukuze bonke babe munye, njengalokhu Wena, Baba, ukimi, nami ngikuwe; ukuze nabo babe munye kithi, ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi ungithumile. ” (Johane 17: 17-21Ku-Wycliffe Bible Dictionary sifunda okulandelayo - "Ukungcweliswa kudinga ukwehlukaniswa nokuziswa. Ekuzithetheleleni uNkulunkulu uveza ikholwa, okwamanje amukela uKristu, yena uqobo ukulunga kukaKristu futhi umbona kusuka kuleso sikhathi ukuthi ufile, wangcwatshwa, futhi wavuswa kabusha empilweni entsha kuKristu (Roma 6: 4-) 10). Luwukuguqulwa kanye kanye, kokuma kobungcweti, noma isimo sezomthetho, phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ukungcweliswa, okuphambene nalokho, inqubo eqhubekayo eqhubeka empilweni yesoni esenziwe kabusha umzuzwana. Ebungcweleni kukhona ukuphulukiswa okukhulu kokwehlukaniswa okuye kwenzeka phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu, umuntu nomuntu, umuntu kanye naye, umuntu nemvelo. ” (I-Pfeiffer 1517)
Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi sonke sizalwa sinesimo sokuwa noma esinesono. Ukungalinaki leli qiniso kungaholela ekukhohlisweni okudumile kokuthi sonke singonkulunkulu 'abancane' ekhuphuka ngezitebhisi zenkolo ezahlukahlukene noma zokuziphatha esimweni esithile sokucabanga sokuphelela kwasemhlabeni kanye naphakade. Umbono we-New Age wokuthi sidinga nje “ukuvusa” unkulunkulu kithi sonke ungamanga aphelele. Umbono ocacile ngesimo sethu somuntu wembula ukugoba kwethu njalo esonweni.
UPawulu ubhekane nokungcweliswa kwabaseRoma izahluko eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili. Uqala ngokubabuza - “Manje-ke sizothini? Siqhubeke esonweni ukuze umusa uvame? ” Bese ephendula owakhe umbuzo - “Lutho neze! Thina esafa maqondana nesono singahlala kanjani kuso na? ” Ube esethula lokho thina njengamakholwa okufanele sikwazi - "Noma anazi yini ukuthi thina sonke esabhapathizelwa kuKristu Jesu sabhapathizelwa kukho ukufa kwakhe?" UPawulu uqhubeka abatshele - "Ngakho-ke sangcwatshwa kanye naye ngokubhapathizelwa ekufeni, ukuze, njengoba nje noKristu avuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise, nathi-ke nathi kufanele sihambe ngokuphila okusha." (Rom. 6:1-4) UPawulu usitshela nabafundi bakhe abangamaRoma - “Ngoba uma sihlanganiswe ndawonye ngokufana kokufa kwakhe, impela nathi siyakuba sesimweni sokuvuka Kwakhe, sazi lokhu, ukuthi umuntu wethu wakudala wabethelwa esiphambanweni kanye naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uqedwe. ukuthi singabe sisaba yizigqila zesono. ” (Rom. 6:5-6) UPawulu usifundisa - “Ngokunjalo nani, ziqonde ukuba nifile kwisono, kodwa niphilele uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. Ngakho-ke ungavumeli isono sibuse emzimbeni wakho ofayo, ukuthi usilalele ezinkanukweni zawo. Futhi unganikeli amalungu akho njengethuluzi lokungalungi esonweni, kodwa zinikeleni kuNkulunkulu njengabaphilayo kwabafileyo, namalungu enu njengezikhali zokulunga kuNkulunkulu. (Rom. 6:11-13) UPaul ube esesho isitatimende esijulile - "Ngoba isono ngeke sikubuse, ngoba awukho ngaphansi komthetho kepha uphansi komusa." (Rom. 6:14)
UGrace uhlala eqhathaniswa nomthetho. Namuhla, umusa uyabusa. UJesu wakhokha inani eligcwele lokuhlengwa kwethu. Lapho siphendukela namuhla kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yomthetho ukulungisiswa kwethu noma ukungcweliswa, senqaba ukupheleliswa komsebenzi kaKristu. Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze, umthetho wafakazelwa ukuthi awunamandla okuletha impilo nokulunga (UScofiabadala 1451). Uma uthembele emthethweni ukuthi uzithethelela, cabanga ngalokho uPawulu akufundisa abaseGalathiya “Ngokwazi ukuthi umuntu akacaciswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho kepha ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, nathi sikholiwe kuKristu Jesu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokukholwa kuKristu hhayi ngemisebenzi yomthetho; ngoba ngemisebenzi yomthetho akukho nyama eyolungisiswa ” (Gal. 2:16)
UScofield uveza ukuthi yini umthwalo wethu wemfanelo mayelana nokungcweliswa kwethu - 1. ukwazi amaqiniso enyunyana yethu kanye nokukhonjwa kwakhe kanye noKristu ekufeni nasekuvukeni Kwakhe. 2. ukubheka la maqiniso njengeqiniso mayelana nathi. 3. ukuzethula kube kanye njengabaphilayo bephila kwabafileyo futhi besetshenziswa uNkulunkulu. 4. ukulalela ekuqapheleni ukuthi ukungcweliswa kungaqhubeka kuphela njengoba silalela entandweni kaNkulunkulu njengoba ivezwe eZwini lakhe. (IScofield 1558)
Ngemuva kokuza kuNkulunkulu ngokuthembela kulokho uJesu Krestu asenzele khona, sihlala phakade noMoya waKhe. Sihlanganiswe noNkulunkulu ngoMoya wakhe onika amandla. NguMoya kaNkulunkulu kuphela ongasikhulula ekudonsekeni kwezimilo zethu eziwile. UPawulu wathi ngaye nangathi sonke - "Siyazi ukuthi umthetho ungokomoya, kepha mina ngingowenyama, ngithengisiwe ngaphansi kwesono." (Rom. 7:14Asikwazi ukunqoba inyama yethu, noma imvelo ewile ngaphandle kokuvumela uMoya kaNkulunkulu. UPawulu wafundisa - “Ngoba umthetho woMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa. Ngoba lokho umthetho wawungeke ukwenze ngoba bebuthakathaka ngokwenyama, uNkulunkulu wakwenza ngokuthumela iNdodana yakhe uqobo ngokufana nenyama enesono, ngenxa yesono: Wasola isono enyameni, ukuze umthetho ufune okulungile kugcwaliseke kithina abangahambi ngokwenyama kodwa ngokoMoya. ” (Rom. 8:2-4)
Uma uzinikele kuhlobo oluthile lokufundisa okusemthethweni, ungahle uzibekele ekutholeni inkohliso yokuzilunga. Izimo zethu eziwile zihlala zifuna induku yokulinganisa yomthetho ukuze isisize sizizwe kangcono ngathi. UNkulunkulu ufuna ukuba sibe nokholo kulokhu asenzele kona, sisondele kuye, futhi sifune intando Yakhe ngezimpilo zethu. Ufuna sazi ukuthi nguMoya Wakhe kuphela ozosinika umusa wokulalela izinhliziyo zethu izwi Lakhe nentando yakhe ezimpilweni zethu.
