Ukuphela kokuphumula kweqiniso kumusa kaKristu
Umbhali wamaHeberu uyaqhubeka nokuchaza 'ukuphumula' kukaNkulunkulu - “Ngoba ukhulumile endaweni ethile ngosuku lwesikhombisa ukuthi: 'Futhi uNkulunkulu waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe'; futhi kule ndawo: 'Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.' Ngalokho-ke kusala ukuthi abanye bangene kulo, nalabo okushunyayelwe kubo okokuqala abangenanga ngenxa yokungalaleli, ubuye amise usuku oluthile, ethi kuDavide: Namuhla, emva kwesikhathi eside kangaka wathi: 'Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi Lakhe, ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu.' Ngoba ukube uJoshuwa wayebanikeze ukuphumula, ngabe akabange esakhuluma ngolunye usuku kamuva. Ngakho-ke kusele ukuphumula kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. ” (Heberu 4: 4-9)
Incwadi eya kumaHeberu ibibhalelwe ukukhuthaza amaKrestu angamaJuda ukuthi angabuyeli emithethweni yobuJuda ngoba ubuJuda beTestamente Elidala sebuphelile. UKristu wayeqede isivumelwano esidala noma iTestamente Elidala ngokufeza yonke injongo yomthetho. Ukufa kukaJesu kwakuyisisekelo seSivumelwano Esisha noma iTestamente Elisha.
Kumavesi angenhla, 'ukuphumula' okusele kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukuphumula esikungenayo lapho sibona ukuthi inani lonke selikhokhelwe ukuhlengwa kwethu okuphelele.
Inkolo, noma umzamo womuntu wokwanelisa uNkulunkulu ngohlobo oluthile lokuzingcwelisa kuyize. Ukuthembela emandleni ethu okuzenza abalungile ngokulandela izingxenye zesivumelwano esidala noma imithetho ehlukahlukene kanye nezimiso, akukufanele ukuthethelelwa noma ukungcweliswa.
Ukuxuba umthetho nomusa akusebenzi. Lo mlayezo ukwiTestamente Elisha lonke. Kunezexwayiso eziningi ngokubuyela emthethweni noma ukukholelwa kwelinye 'ivangeli' elithile. UPawulu wayelokhu esebenza nabazweli bamaJuda, ababengabamthetho abangamaJuda ababefundisa ukuthi ezinye izingxenye zesivumelwano esidala kufanele zilandelwe ukuze kujabulise uNkulunkulu.
UPawulu watshela abaseGalathiya ukuthi “Sazi ukuthi umuntu akalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho kodwa ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, nathi sikholiwe kuKristu Jesu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokukholwa kuKristu hhayi ngemisebenzi yomthetho; ngoba ngemisebenzi yomthetho akukho nyama eyakulungisiswa. ” (Gal. 2:16)
Akungabazeki ukuthi kwakunzima ngamakholwa angamaJuda ukufulathela emthethweni abawulandela isikhathi eside. Okwenziwa ngumthetho kwakuwukukhombisa ngokusobala isono semvelo yomuntu. Akukho lapho umuntu ayengagcina umthetho ngokuphelele. Uma wethemba inkolo yemithetho namuhla ukuze uthokozise uNkulunkulu, usendleleni yokufa. Akunakwenziwa. AmaJuda akakwazanga ukukwenza, futhi akekho kithi ongakwenza.
Ukukholwa emsebenzini ophelile kaKrestu ukuphela kwendlela yokuphunyuka. UPawulu waphinde watshela abaseGalathiya ukuthi “Kepha umbhalo uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono, ukuze isithembiso ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu sinikezwe labo abakholwayo. Kepha kungakafiki ukukholwa, sasigcinwa ngumthetho, sigcinelwe ukukholwa okwakuzakwambulwa kamuva. Ngakho-ke umthetho wawungumqondisi wethu wokusiletha kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokukholwa. ” (Gal. 3:22-24)
UScofield wabhala eBhayibhelini lakhe lokufunda - “Ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esisha somusa umgomo wokulalela intando yaphezulu ukhiqizwa ngaphakathi. Kuze kube manje impilo yalowo okholwayo isesiphithiphithini sentando yakhe ukuthi 'uphansi komthetho ngakuKristu', futhi 'umthetho kaKristu' omusha uyintokozo yakhe; kanti, ngoMoya ohleli ngaphakathi, ukulunga komthetho kugcwaliseka kuye. Imiyalo isetshenziswe emiBhalweni yobuKristu ekhethekile njengesiyalo sokulunga. ”
