Namhlanje, ndenze uxolo noThixo ...

Ubuze umbuzo onzima kakhulu ekunzima ukuwuphendula. NguThixo kuphela owaziyo intliziyo yakho nokholo lwakho. Akukho mntu unokugweba ukholo lwakho, akukho namnye ngaphandle koThixo.

Into endiyaziyo kukuba kunezinye iincwadi ezininzi ngokuphathelele umthandazo kwaye ndicinga ukuba indlela efanelekileyo yokunceda kukuthi ufanele ukhangele ezo Zibhalo uze ufundisise ngokusemandleni akho kwaye ucele uThixo ukuba akuncede uwaqonde.

Ukuba ufunda oko abanye abantu bakuthethayo ngale nto okanye nawuphi na umxholo weBhayibhile kukho ivesi elungileyo omele uyifunde kwaye uyikhumbule: iZenzo 17: 10, ethi, "Ngoku amaBhereans ayenobuntu obuhle kunabaseTesalonika, kuba bafumana Ndathetha ngeZibhalo yonke imihla ukuze ndibone ukuba kuyinyani na oko kuthethwa nguPawulos. ”

Lo ngumgaqo omkhulu onokuphila ngawo. Akukho mntu ungenakusilela, nguThixo kuphela onjalo. Akufuneki samane sikholelwe okanye sikholelwe oko sikuvayo okanye esikufundayo kuba umntu othile yinkokeli yecawe “edumileyo” okanye umntu owaziwayo. Kufuneka sihlale sijonga kwaye sithelekise yonke into esiyivayo kunye neLizwi likaThixo; njalo. Ukuba iyaphikisana neLizwi likaThixo, yigatye.

Ukufumana iivesi ngomthandazo sebenzisa ikhonkodensi okanye ujonge kwiindawo ezinje ngeBible Hub okanye iBible Gateway. Kuqala ndivumele ukuba ndibelane ngemigaqo yokufunda iBhayibhile endiyifundiswe ngabanye kwaye bandincedile kule minyaka idlulileyo.

Musa ukwahlula ivesi enye, njengaleyo malunga "nokholo" kunye "nomthandazo," kodwa thelekisa ezinye iivesi ngesihloko kunye nazo zonke iZibhalo ngokubanzi. Funda kwakhona ivesi nganye kwimeko yayo, oko kukuthi, ibali elijikeleze ivesi; imeko kunye neemeko zokwenyani ekuthethwa ngazo kwaye isiganeko senzekile. Buza imibuzo efana nale: Ngubani othethileyo? Okanye babethetha nabani kwaye ngoba? Qhubeka ubuza imibuzo efana nale: Ngaba sikhona isifundo ekufuneka usifunde okanye into ekufuneka uyiphephe Ndiyifunde ngale ndlela: Buza: Ngubani? Intoni? Phi? Nini? Ngoba? Njani?

Nanini na xa unemibuzo okanye ingxaki, khangela impendulo yakho eBhayibhileni. UYohane 17:17 uthi, “Ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso.” Eyesi-2 kaPetros 1:3 ithi, “Amandla akhe obuThixo asinike zonke izinto esizidingayo ebomini nasekuhloneleni uThixo ngokumazi kwethu Lowo wasibizayo ngozuko lwakhe nokulunga kwakhe.” Singabo bangafezekanga, kungekhona uThixo. Akaze asilele, singasilela. Ukuba imithandazo yethu ayiphendulwa, sithi abasilele okanye abangaqondanga kakuhle. Cinga ngoAbraham owayeneminyaka eli-100 ubudala xa uThixo waphendula umthandazo wakhe wokufumana unyana kwaye ezinye zezithembiso zikaThixo kuye azizange zizaliseke de kwadlula ixesha elide emva kokuba efile. Kodwa uThixo waphendula, ngexesha elifanelekileyo.

Ndiqinisekile ukuba akukho mntu unokholo olugqibeleleyo ngaphandle kokuthandabuza amaxesha onke, kuzo zonke iimeko. Nabantu abanikwe sisipho sokomoya sokholo abafezekanga okanye abanakusilela. NguThixo kuphela ogqibeleleyo. Asisoloko siyazi okanye siyiqonde intando yaKhe, into ayenzayo okanye eyona ilungileyo kuthi. Wenza. Mthembe.

Ukuqala ngokufunda ngomthandazo ndiza kukubonisa iivesi ezithile onokucinga ngazo. Emva koko qalisa ukuzibuza imibuzo enjengale, Ngaba ndinokholo olufunwa nguThixo? (Ewe, imibuzo emininzi, kodwa ndicinga ukuba ziluncedo kakhulu.) Ngaba ndiyathandabuza? Ngaba ukholo olugqibeleleyo luyimfuneko ukuze uphendulwe umthandazo wam? Ngaba zikhona ezinye iziqinisekiso zokuphendulwa komthandazo? Ngaba kukho imiqobo ekuphenduleni umthandazo?

Zibeke emfanekisweni. Ndakhe ndasebenzela umntu ofundisa amabali asuka eBhayibhileni athi: "Zibone kwisipili sikaThixo." ILizwi likaThixo kuthethwa ngalo njengesipili kuYakobi 1: 22 & 23. Umbono kukuzibona kuyo nayiphi na into oyifundayo eLizwini. Zibuze: Ngaba ndimlingana njani lo mlinganiswa, nokuba ulungile okanye mbi? Ngaba ndenza izinto ngendlela kaThixo, okanye ngaba ndifuna ukucela uxolelo notshintsho?

Ngoku makhe sijonge isicatshulwa esifike engqondweni xa ubuza umbuzo wakho: Marko 9:14-29. (Nceda usifunde.) UYesu, kunye noPetros, uYakobi noYohane, babebuya ekuguqulweni kobomi ukuze badibane nabanye abafundi ababenesihlwele esikhulu esasiquka iinkokeli zamaYuda ezazibizwa ngokuba ngababhali. Xa isihlwele sambona uYesu sakhawuleza saya kuye. Phakathi kwabo kwafika umntu owayenonyana onedemon. Abafundi babengenakukwazi ukukhupha idemon. Uyise womntwana wathi kuYesu, “Ukuba unako ukwenza nantoni na, yiba novelwano kuthi, usincede?” Oko akubonakali ngathi lukholo olukhulu, kodwa kwanele ukucela uncedo. UYesu waphendula wathi, “Zonke izinto zinokwenzeka ukuba uyakholwa.” Uyise wathi, “Ndiyakholwa, yiba novelwano kum ngokungakholwa kwam.” UYesu, esazi ukuba isihlwele sasibajongile kwaye sibathanda bonke, wakhupha idemon waza wavusa umfana. Kamva abafundi bambuza ukuba kutheni bengenakuyikhupha idemon. Wathi, “Olu hlobo alunakuphuma nangantoni na ngaphandle komthandazo” (mhlawumbi oko kuthetha umthandazo onyanisekileyo, oqhubekayo, kungekhona isicelo esinye esifutshane). Kwingxelo efanayo ekuMateyu 17:20, uYesu waxelela abafundi bakhe ukuba kwakungenxa yokungakholwa kwabo. Yayilityala elikhethekileyo (uYesu walibiza ngokuthi “lolu hlobo.”)

UYesu wayehlangabezana nezidingo zabantu abaninzi apha. Inkwenkwe yayifuna unyango, utata wayefuna ithemba kwaye isihlwele sasifuna ukubona ukuba ungubani kwaye akholelwe. Wayefundisa abafundi bakhe malunga nokholo, ukholo kuye kunye nomthandazo. Babefundiswa nguYe, belungiselelwe nguYe umsebenzi okhethekileyo, umsebenzi okhethekileyo. Babelungiselelwa ukuba baye "kuwo wonke umhlaba kwaye bashumayele iindaba ezilungileyo," (UMarko 16:15), ukubhengeza kwihlabathi ukuba Ungubani, uThixo uMsindisi owafela izono zabo, ebonakaliswe kwalemiqondiso minye nemimangaliso. Usebenze, uxanduva olukhulu abakhethwe ukuba baluphumeze. (Funda uMateyu 17: 2; iZenzo 1: 8; iZenzo 17: 3 kunye neZenzo 18:28.) AmaHebhere 2: 3b & 4 athi, “Olu sindiso, olwaziswa kuqala yiNkosi, lwaqinisekiswa kuthi ngabo bamvayo. . UThixo ke wayingqinela ngemiqondiso, nezimanga, nemimangaliso, nangeziphiwo zoMoya oyiNgcwele ezabiwa ngokwentando yakhe. Babefuna ukholo olukhulu ukwenza izinto ezinkulu. Funda iNcwadi yeZenzo. Ibonisa indlela abaphumelele ngayo.

Bakhubekile ngenxa yokuswela ukholo ngexesha lenkqubo yokufunda. Ngamanye amaxesha, njengakuMarko 9, basilele ngenxa yokuswela ukholo, kodwa uYesu wayenomonde kubo, njengoko enathi. Thina, singaphezu kwabafundi, sinokumsola uThixo xa imithandazo yethu ingaphendulwa. Kufuneka sifane nabo kwaye sicele uThixo ukuba "andise ukholo lwethu."

Kule meko uYesu wayehlangabezana nezidingo zabantu abaninzi. Oku kuhlala kuyinyani xa sithandaza kwaye simcela iimfuno zethu. Kunqabile malunga nesicelo sethu. Masibeke ezinye zezi zinto kunye. UYesu uphendula umthandazo, ngesizathu esinye okanye ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi. Umzekelo, ndiqinisekile ukuba utata okuMarko 9 wayengenalo nofifi malunga nento eyenziwa nguYesu kubomi babafundi okanye kwisihlwele. Apha kwesi sicatshulwa, kwaye ngokujonga zonke iZibhalo, sinokufunda okuninzi malunga nokuba kutheni imithandazo yethu ingaphendulwa ngendlela esifuna ngayo okanye xa sifuna ukuba ibekho. UMarko 9 usifundisa okuninzi malunga nokuqonda iZibhalo, umthandazo kunye neendlela zikaThixo. UYesu wayebonisa bonke ukuba Ungubani: uthando lwabo, onke amandla kaThixo noMsindisi.

Masiphinde sijonge abapostile. Bamazi njani ukuba ungubani, ukuba “ unguKrestu, uNyana kaThixo,” njengoko uPetros wayetshilo. Babesazi ngokuqonda iZibhalo, zonke iZibhalo. Sazi njani ukuba ungubani uYesu, ukuze sibe nokholo lokukholelwa kuye? Sazi njani ukuba unguLowo uThenjisiweyo – uMesiya. Simazi njani ukuba ungubani okanye umntu umqonda njani. Abafundi bamqonda njani ukuze bazinikezele ekusasazeni iindaba ezilungileyo ngaYe. Uyabona, konke kuhambelana – inxalenye yesicwangciso sikaThixo.

Enye indlela abamqonda ngayo kukuba uThixo wavakalisa ngelizwi elivela ezulwini (uMateyu 3:17) esithi, “Lo nguNyana wam oyintanda endikholisiweyo nguye.” Enye indlela yayikukuzaliseka kwesiprofeto (apha besazi yonke iZibhalo - njengoko inxulumene nemiqondiso nezimanga).

UThixo kwiTestamente eNdala wathumela abaprofeti abaninzi ukuba basixelele ukuba uzokufika nini kwaye njani, uza kwenza ntoni kwaye uza kuba njani. Iinkokheli zamaJuda, ababhali nabaFarisi, baziqonda ezi ndinyana zesiprofeto njengabantu abaninzi. Esinye sezi ziprofeto senziwa ngoMoses njengoko kufumaneka kwiDuteronomi 18: 18 & 19; I-34: 10-12 kunye neNumeri 12: 6-8, zonke ezo zibonisa ukuba uMesiya uya kuba ngumprofeti onjengoMoses owayethethela uThixo (anike umyalezo waKhe) enze imiqondiso nemimangaliso emikhulu.

KuYohane 5: 45 & 46 UYesu wathi unguye laa Mprofeti kwaye waxhasa ibango lakhe ngemiqondiso nemimangaliso awayenzayo. Akazange athethe ilizwi likaThixo kuphela, ngaphezu koko, ubizwa ngokuba nguLizwi (Jonga uYohane 1 kunye namaHebhere 1). Khumbula, abafundi babekhethwe ukuba benze okufanayo, babhengeze ukuba ngubani uYesu ngemiqondiso nangezimanga eGameni lakhe, kwaye ke uYesu, kwiincwadi zeVangeli, ebaqeqesha ukuba benze loo nto, babe nokholo lokubuza egameni lakhe, besazi ukuba yena ndingayenza.

INkosi ifuna ukholo lwethu lukhule, njengoko nolwabo lwenza, ukuze sikwazi ukuxelela abantu ngoYesu ukuze bakholwe kuYe. Enye indlela akwenza ngayo oku kusinika amathuba okuphuma elukholweni ukuze abonise ukuzimisela kwakhe ukusibonisa ukuba ungubani aze amzukise uYise ngeempendulo zemithandazo yethu. Wafundisa nabafundi bakhe ukuba ngamanye amaxesha kufuna umthandazo oqhubekayo. Ngoko ke yintoni esifanele siyifunde koku? Ngaba ukholo olugqibeleleyo ngaphandle kokuthandabuza luhlala luyimfuneko ukuze umthandazo uphendulwe? Kwakungengenxa kayise wenkwenkwe enedemon.

Yintoni enye esiyixelelwa sisiBhalo ngomthandazo? Makhe sijonge ezinye iivesi malunga nomthandazo. Zeziphi ezinye iimfuno zokuphendulwa komthandazo? Yintoni enokunqanda umthandazo ungaphendulwa?

1). Jonga kwiNdumiso 66:18. Ithi, "Ukuba ndisithathela ingqalelo isono entliziyweni yam iNkosi ayiyi kuva." Ku-Isaya 58 uthi akazukumamela okanye aphendule imithandazo yabantu bakhe ngenxa yezono zabo. Babebakhathalele abangamahlwempu kwaye bengakhathalelananga. Ivesi 9 lithi mababuye esonweni sabo (jonga mna John 1: 9), "uya kubiza kwaye ndiphendule." Ku-Isaya 1: 15-16 uThixo uthi, “Ekoluleni kwenu izandla zenu, ndiya kuwufihla amehlo am kuni; Ewe nangona wandisa imithandazo andiyi kuva. Zihlambeni, ziqaqambiseni; susani ububi beentlondi zenu phambi kwam; Yekani ukwenza ububi. Isono esithile esithintela umthandazo sifumaneka ku-3 Peter 7: 1. Ixelela amadoda ukuba mabaphathe njani abafazi babo ukuze ingathintelwa imithandazo yabo. NdinguJohn 1: 9-XNUMX usixelela ukuba amakholwa ayona kodwa athi, "Ukuba siyasivuma isono sethu uthembekile kwaye ulilungisa ukusixolela izono zethu asihlambulule kuko konke ukungalungisi." Emva koko siya kuqhubeka nokuthandaza kwaye uThixo uya kuva izicelo zethu.

2). Esinye isizathu sokungaphendulwa kwemithandazo sifumaneka kuYakobi 4: 2 & 3 othi, “Awunayo kuba ungabuzi. Niyacela, ningamkeli noko, ngenxa enokuba nicela kakubi, ukuze oko nikuchithele iziyolo zenu. I-King James Version ithi inkanuko endaweni yolonwabo. Kule meko, amakholwa ayephikisana amandla kunye nokuzuza. Umthandazo akufuneki ubenento yokwenza nokuzifumanela izinto, amandla okanye njengendlela yokufumana iminqweno yethu yokuzingca. UThixo uthi apha Akaziniki ezi zicelo.

Ngoko ke yintoni injongo yomthandazo, okanye sifanele sithandaze njani? Abafundi babuza uYesu lo mbuzo. Umthandazo weNkosi kuMateyu 6 noLuka 11 uphendula lo mbuzo. Ngumzekelo okanye isifundo somthandazo. Sifanele sithandaze kuBawo. Sifanele sicele ukuba azukiswe kwaye sithandaze ukuba ubukumkani bakhe bufike. Sifanele sithandaze ukuba intando yakhe ifezekiswe. Sifanele sithandaze ukuze sigcinwe ekulingweni kwaye sikhululwe kuLowo ungendawo. Sifanele sicele uxolelo (kwaye sixolele abanye) kwaye uThixo uya kusinika IIMFUNO zethu. Ayithethi nto ngokucela izinto esizifunayo, kodwa uThixo uthi ukuba simfuna kuqala, uya kongeza iintsikelelo ezininzi kuthi.

3). Omnye umqobo ekuthandazeni kuthandabuza. Oku kusibuyisela kanye kumbuzo wakho. Nangona uThixo ephendula umthandazo kwabo bafunda ukuthemba, ufuna ukuba ukholo lwethu lukhule. Sihlala siqonda ukuba ukholo lwethu luyasilela kodwa zininzi iivesi ezidibanisa ukuphendulwa komthandazo nokholo ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, ezinje: UMarko 9: 23-25; 11:24; UMateyu 2:22; 17: 19-21; 21:27; UYakobi 1: 6-8; 5: 13-16 noLuka 17: 6. Khumbula uYesu waxelela abafundi ukuba abanakukhupha idemon ngenxa yokuswela kwabo ukholo. Babefuna olu hlobo lokholo kwimisebenzi yabo emva kokunyuka.

Kunokubakho amaxesha apho ukholo ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo luyimfuneko kwimpendulo. Zininzi izinto ezinokusenza sithandabuze. Ngaba siyabuthandabuza ubuchule baKhe okanye ukulungela kwaKhe ukuphendula? Singathandabuza ngenxa yesono, isusa ukuzithemba kwethu kwindawo yethu kuYe. Ngaba sicinga ukuba akasaphenduli namhlanje kwi-2019?

KuMateyu 9:28 uYesu wabuza indoda eyimfama wathi, “Uyakholwa na ukuba ndingakwenza oku ?” Kukho amanqanaba okukhula nokholo, kodwa uThixo uyasithanda sonke. KuMateyu 8:1-3 umntu oneqhenqa wathi, “Ukuba uyathanda, ungandihlambulula.”

Olu kholo luqinileyo luza ngokumazi (ukuhlala) kunye neLizwi lakhe (Siza kujonga kuYohane 15 kamva.) Ukholo, lona ngokwalo, aluyonto, kodwa asinakumkholisa ngaphandle kwayo. Ukholo lunento, uMntu-uYesu. Ayizimelanga yodwa. I-Korinte 13: 2 isibonisa ukuba ukholo alusosiphelo ngokwalo-nguYesu.

Ngamanye amaxesha uThixo unika isipho esikhethekileyo sokholo kwabanye babantwana baKhe, ngenjongo okanye ulungiselelo olukhethekileyo. Isibhalo sifundisa ukuba uThixo unika isipho somoya kuye nakumntu ngamnye okholwayo xa ezelwe ngokutsha, isipho sokwakhana somsebenzi wolungiselelo ekufikeleleni umhlaba kuKristu. Esinye sezi zipho lukholo; Ukholo lokukholelwa ukuba uThixo uya kuziphendula izicelo (njengoko abapostile benzayo).

Injongo yesi sipho iyafana nenjongo yomthandazo njengoko sibonile kuMathew 6. Kukuzukiswa kukaThixo. Ayenzelwanga ukuzuza inzuzo (ukufumana into esiyinqwenelayo), kodwa kukunceda iBandla, umzimba kaKristu, ukuzisa ukukhula; Ukukhulisa ukholo nokubonisa ukuba uYesu unguye uNyana kaThixo. Ayisiyolonwabo, ikratshi okanye inzuzo. Ininzi ngakumbi yabanye kwaye ihlangabezane neemfuno zabanye okanye ulungiselelo oluthile.

Zonke izipho zokomoya zinikwe nguThixo ngokokubona kwakhe, hayi ngokhetho lwethu. Izipho azisenzi ukuba singaphumeleli, kwaye azisenzi ngokomoya. Akukho mntu unazo zonke izipho, kwaye akukho namnye umntu onesiphiwo esithile kwaye nasiphi na isipho sinokuxhatshazwa. (Funda eyoku-12 kwabaseKorinte 4; kwabase-Efese 11: 16-12 kunye namaRoma 3: 11-XNUMX ukuqonda izipho.)

Kufuneka silumke kakhulu ukuba sinikwe izipho ezingummangaliso, ezinje ngemimangaliso, ukuphilisa okanye ukholo, kuba sinokuzikhukhumalisa kwaye sizingce. Abanye basebenzise ezi zipho ukufumana amandla kunye nenzuzo. Ukuba singakwenza oku, sifumane nantoni na esiyifunayo ngokucela nje, ilizwe beliya kusibalekela lize lihlawule sibathandazele ukuba bafumane iminqweno yabo.

Umzekelo, abapostile banesipho esinye okanye ezingaphezulu. (Jonga uStefano kwiZenzo 7 okanye ulungiselelo lukaPeter okanye lukaPaul.) KwiZenzo siboniswa umzekelo wento ongamele uyenze, ingxelo kaSimon uMkhafuli. Wayefuna ukuthenga amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze enze imimangaliso yenzuzo yakhe (IZenzo 8: 4-24). Wakhalinywa kabukhali ngabaPostile kwaye wacela uxolo kuThixo. USimon wazama ukusebenzisa kakubi isipho sokomoya. KwabaseRoma 12: 3 bathi, “Kuba ngalo ubabalo endababalwa ngalo, ndithi kubo bonke abaphakathi kwenu, mabangazicingeli ngaphezu koko bamelwe kukuzicingela ngako; kodwa mabazicingele ingcinga ephilileyo, njengoko uThixo abele ulowo nalowo umlinganiso wokholo.

Ukholo aluphelelanga kwabo banesi sipho sikhethekileyo. Sonke singakholelwa kuThixo xa uphendulwe umthandazo, kodwa olu hlobo lokholo luza, njengoko kusitshiwo, kubudlelwane obusondeleyo noKristu, kuba Nguye uMntu Esinokholo kuye.

3). Oku kusizisa kwenye imfuneko yomthandazo ophendulwayo. UYohane isahluko 14 ne-15 zisixelela ukuba simele sihlale kuKristu. (Funda uYohane 14:11-14 kunye noYohane 15:1-15.) UYesu uxelele abafundi ukuba baya kwenza imisebenzi emikhulu kunaye, ukuba bacela nantoni na egameni lakhe uya kuyenza. (Qaphela unxibelelwano phakathi kokholo noMntu uYesu Kristu.)

KuJohn 15: 1-7 uYesu uxelela abafundi ukuba kufuneka bahlale kuYe (iivesi 7 & 8), “Ukuba nithe nahlala kum, namagama am ahlala kuni, celani nantoni na eniyifunayo niza kuyenzelwa. UBawo uzukiswa kuko oku, ukuba nithwala isiqhamo esininzi, nibe ngabafundi bam. ” Ukuba sihlala kuye siya kufuna ukuba ukuthanda kwakhe kwenziwe kwaye sinqwenele uzuko lwaKhe kunye nolo lukaYise. UJohn 14: 20 uthi, "Niya kwazi ukuba ndikuye uBawo, nani nikum, nam ndikuni." Siya kuba nomqondo omnye, ngoko ke siya kucela into uThixo ayifunayo kuthi asiphendule.

NgokukaJohn 14: 21 kunye ne-15: 10 ukuhlala kuYe ngokuyinxenye kukugcina imiyalelo yakhe (intobelo) nokwenza ukuthanda kwakhe, kwaye njengoko isitsho, ukuhlala eLizwini lakhe kwaye neLizwi lakhe (iLizwi likaThixo) lihleli kuthi . Oku kuthetha ukuchitha ixesha eLizwini (Jonga iNdumiso 1 kunye noJoshua 1) kwaye uyenze. Ukuhlala kukuhlala uhlala kubudlelane noThixo (mna Yohane 1: 4-10), umthandazo, ukufunda ngoYesu nokuba ngabathobeli beLizwi (Yakobi 1:22). Ke ukuze umthandazo uphendulwe kufuneka sibuze eGameni lakhe, senze ukuthanda kwakhe kwaye sihlale kuye, njengoko uJohn 15: 7 & 8 esitsho. Musa ukwahlula iivesi ngomthandazo, kufuneka zihambe kunye.

Jonga kwi-1 Yohane 3:21-24. Igubungela imigaqo efanayo. “Zintanda, ukuba intliziyo yethu ayisigwebi, sinokomelela phambi koThixo; kwaye nantoni na esiyicelayo kuye siyayamkela kuye, kuba siyayigcina imithetho yakhe kwaye senza izinto ezikholekileyo emehlweni akhe. Nguwo lo ke umthetho: ukuba sikholwe egameni loNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu, sithandane, njengoko asiyalelayo. Lowo uyigcinayo imithetho yakhe uhlala kuye, naye uhlala kuye. Siyazi ngaloo nto ukuba uhlala kuthi, ngoMoya asinike wona.” Kufuneka sihlale ukuze sifumane. Kwimithandazo yokholo, ndicinga ukuba unethemba kubuchule boMntu uYesu nokuba uya kuphendula kuba uyazi kwaye ufuna intando yakhe.

Mna uJohn 5: 14 & 15 uthi, "kwaye le yintembelo esinayo phambi kwakhe, ukuba xa sicela nantoni na ngokokuthanda kwakhe uyasiva. Kwaye ukuba siyazi ukuba uyasiva kuyo nantoni na esiyicelayo, siyazi ukuba sinaso isicelo esisicelileyo kuye. Kufuneka siqonde kuqala ukuthanda kwakhe okwaziwayo njengoko kutyhilwe eLizwini likaThixo. Okukhona silazi iLizwi likaThixo kokukhona siya kukwazi ngoThixo nentando yaKhe kwaye nemithandazo yethu iyakuba nempembelelo. Simele sihambe ngoMoya kwaye sibe nentliziyo ecocekileyo (mna John 1: 4-10).

Ukuba konke oku kubonakala kunzima kwaye kuyadimaza, khumbula uThixo uyalela kwaye usikhuthaza ukuba sithandaze. Ukwasikhuthaza ukuba siqhubeke kwaye sizingise emthandazweni. Akahlali ephendula kwangoko. Khumbula ukuba kuMarko 9 abafundi baxelelwa ukuba abanako ukuyikhupha idemon ngenxa yokungabinamthandazo. UThixo akafuni sinikezele kwimithandazo yethu kuba asifumani mpendulo ngoko nangoko. Ufuna sizingise emthandazweni. KuLuka 18: 1 (NKJV) ithi, “Ke kaloku wathetha umzekeliso kubo, wokuba bamelwe kukuhlala bethandaza, bangethi amandla. Funda kwakhona u-2 Timoti 8: 10 (KJV) othi, "Ndiya kuthanda ukuba amadoda athandaze kuyo yonke indawo, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, ngaphandle koloyiko okanye ukuthandabuza." KuLuka ubaxelela ngomgwebi ongenabulungisa nonganyamezelekiyo owanika umhlolokazi isicelo sakhe ngenxa yokuba wayezingisa kwaye "emkhathaza". UThixo ufuna ukuba siqhubeke "simkhathaza". Ijaji yamnika isicelo sakhe kuba wayemcaphukisile, kodwa uThixo uyasiphendula kuba uyasithanda. UThixo ufuna ukuba sazi ukuba uyayiphendula imithandazo yethu. UMateyu 30:8 uthi, “Kwaneenwele ezi zentloko yenu zibaliwe zonke. Ngoko ke musani ukoyika, nixabiseke ngaphezu koongqatyana abaninzi. ” Mthembe kuba ukukhathalele. Uyazazi izinto esizifunayo kunye nento elungileyo kuthi kwaye xa ixesha lilungile (KwabaseRoma 29:6; UMateyu 8: 32, 33 & 12 noLuka 30:XNUMX). Asazi okanye asiqondi, kodwa uyazi.

UThixo usixelela nokuba akufuneki ukuba sikhathazeke okanye sikhathazeke, kuba uyasithanda. KwabaseFilipi 4: 6 bathi, "Musani ukuxhalela nantoni na, kodwa ezintweni zonke ngomthandazo nesikhungo, ngombulelo, izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguThixo." Kufuneka sithandaze sinombulelo.

Esinye isifundo esinokusifunda ngomthandazo kukulandela umzekelo kaYesu. UYesu wayedla “ngokumka yedwa” xa esiya kuthandaza. (Jonga uLuka 5: 16 kunye noMarko 1: 35.) Xa uYesu wayesemyezweni wathandaza kuYise. Simele senze okufanayo. Sifanele ukuchitha ixesha sisodwa emthandazweni. UKumkani uDavide naye, wathandaza kakhulu njengoko sinokubona kwimithandazo yakhe emininzi kwiiNdumiso.

Kufuneka siqonde umthandazo ngendlela kaThixo, sithembele kuthando lukaThixo kwaye sikhule elukholweni njengabafundi no-Abraham (Roma 4: 20 & 21). Kwabase-Efese 6:18 bathi masithandazele bonke abangcwele (abakholwayo). Zininzi ezinye iivesi kunye neendinyana zomthandazo, malunga nendlela yokuthandaza kunye nezinto onokuzithandazela. Ndiyakukhuthaza ukuba uqhubeke nokusebenzisa izixhobo ze-intanethi ukuzifumana nokuzifunda.

Khumbula "zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kwabo bakholwayo." Khumbula, ukholo luyamkholisa uThixo kodwa ayisosiphelo okanye injongo. UYesu liziko.

INdumiso 16: 19-20 ithi, “inene, uThixo uve. Ulibazele indlebe ilizwi lomthandazo wam. Makabongwe uThixo ongawugxothanga umthandazo wam, Nobubele bakhe kum.

UYakobi 5:17 uthi, “UEliya wayengumntu ofana nathi, wathandaza ngokunyaniseka ukuba imvula ingani, yaye ayizange ine emhlabeni iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha.”

UJames 5: 16 uthi, "Umthandazo welungisa unamandla kwaye uyasebenza." Qhubeka uthandaza.

Ezinye izinto ozicingayo malunga nomthandazo:

1). NguThixo yedwa onokuphendula umthandazo.

2). UThixo ufuna ukuba sithethe naye.

3). UThixo ufuna ukuba sidlelane naye kwaye sizukiswe.

4). UThixo uyathanda ukusinika izinto ezilungileyo kodwa nguye yedwa owaziyo okusilungeleyo.

UYesu wenza imimangaliso emininzi kubantu abahlukeneyo. Abanye abade babuze, abanye babenokholo olukhulu kwaye abanye babencinci kakhulu (uMateyu 14: 35 & 36). Ukholo yinto esidibanisa noThixo onokusinika nantoni na esiyifunayo. Xa sicela eGameni likaYesu sithandazela bonke ukuba ungubani. Siyacela eGameni likaThixo, uNyana kaThixo, uMdali Onamandla wazo zonke izinto ezikhoyo, osithandayo nosifunayo ukusisikelela.

Lo ngowona mbuzo uqhelekileyo ubuzwa ngabafundi bezakwalizwi. Ngokwenyani wonke umntu ufumana izinto ezimbi ngamanye amaxesha okanye enye. Abantu babuza nokuba kutheni izinto ezintle zenzeka kubantu ababi? Ndicinga ukuba wonke lo mbuzo "usicenga" ukuba sibuze eminye imibuzo efanelekileyo enje ngala, "Ngubani olungileyo ngenene?" okanye “Kutheni zisenzeka nje izinto ezimbi?” okanye "Zaqala phi okanye nini" izinto ezimbi (ukubandezeleka) okanye zavela phi? ”

Ngokwembono kaThixo, ngokweSibhalo, akukho bantu abalungileyo okanye abalungileyo. INtshumayeli 7: 20 ithi, "Akukho mntu ulilungisa emhlabeni, oqhubeka esenza okuhle kwaye angoni." KwabaseRoma 3: 10-12 bachaza uluntu lusithi kwindinyana ye-10, "Akukho lungisa," kwaye kwivesi 12, "Akukho wenza okulungileyo." (Jonga kwakhona iNdumiso 14: 1-3 kunye neNdumiso 53: 1-3.) Akukho mntu umi phambi koThixo, ngaphakathi kuye, "njengolungileyo".

Oko akutsho ukuba umntu ombi, okanye nabani na, akanakuze enze into elungileyo. Oku kuthetha ngokuziphatha okuqhubekayo, hayi isenzo esinye.

Ke kutheni le nto uThixo esithi akukho mntu "ulungileyo" xa sibona abantu behle ngokubi "benemibala emininzi engwevu phakathi." Kuphi ke apho kufuneka sibeke umgca phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi, kwaye uthini ngomphefumlo ohluphekileyo "osemgceni."

UThixo uthi ngale ndlela kumaRoma 3:23, “kuba bonke bonile baza basilela kuzuko lukaThixo,” kwaye kuIsaya 64:6 uthi, “zonke izenzo zethu ezilungileyo zifana nesambatho esingcolileyo.” Izenzo zethu ezilungileyo zingcoliswe likratshi, ukuzizuzela inzuzo, iinjongo ezingcolileyo okanye esinye isono. AmaRoma 3:19 athi lonke ihlabathi “linetyala phambi koThixo.” UYakobi 2:10 uthi, “Nabani na okhubekisayo kwelinye icala unetyala kubo bonke.” Kwivesi 11 uthi “ube ngumphuli-mthetho.”

Ngoko ke, sifike njani apha njengoluntu kwaye ichaphazela njani into eyenzekayo kuthi? Konke kwaqala ngesono sika-Adam kunye nesono sethu, kuba wonke umntu uyona, njengoko u-Adam wenzayo. INdumiso 51:5 ibonisa ukuba sizalwe sinesimo sesono. Ithi, “Ndandinesono ekuzalweni, ndinesono ukususela ngexesha umama andikhawula ngalo.” KwabaseRoma 5:12 isixelela ukuba, “isono sangena ehlabathini ngomntu omnye (uAdam).” Emva koko ithi, “nokufa kwangena ngesono.” (KwabaseRoma 6:23 ithi, “umvuzo wesono kukufa.”) Ukufa kwangena ehlabathini kuba uThixo waqalekisa uAdam ngesono sakhe esabangela ukuba ukufa kwangena ehlabathini (Genesis 3:14-19). Ukufa kwangempela akuzange kwenzeke ngaxeshanye, kodwa inkqubo yaqala. Ngenxa yoko, ukugula, intlekele kunye nokufa kusenzeka kuthi sonke, nokuba siwela phi “kwizinga lethu elingwevu.” Xa ukufa kwangena ehlabathini, zonke iintlungu zangena nazo, zonke ngenxa yesono. Ngoko ke sonke siyabandezeleka, kuba “sonke sonile.” Ukuze kube lula, uAdam wona kwaye ukufa nokubandezeleka kwafikela bonke abantu kuba bonke bonile.

INdumiso 89:48 ithi, “ngubani na umntu onokuphila aze angaboni ukufa, okanye azisindise emandleni engcwaba.” (Funda amaRoma 8:18-23.) Ukufa kwenzeka kubo bonke, kungekuphela nje kwabo sibabona njengababi, kodwa nakwabo sibabona njengabalungileyo. (Funda amaRoma isahluko 3-5 ukuze uqonde inyaniso kaThixo.)

Ngaphandle kwale nyaniso, ngamanye amagama, nangona kufanelekile ukuba sife, uThixo uyaqhubeka nokusithumela iintsikelelo zaKhe. UThixo ubiza abanye abantu ukuba balungile, nangona sisona sonke. Umzekelo, uThixo wathi uYobhi wayethe tye. Ke yintoni egqiba ukuba umntu umbi okanye ulungile kwaye uthe tye emehlweni kaThixo? UThixo wayenecebo lokuxolela izono zethu asenze amalungisa. KwabaseRoma 5: 8 bathi, "UThixo wabonakalisa uthando lwakhe kuthi ngale nto: sakubon 'ukuba sisengaboni, uKrestu wasifela."

UYohane 3:16 uthi, “UThixo walithanda ihlabathi kangangokuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali kodwa babe nobomi obungunaphakade.” (Jonga kwamaRoma 5:16-18.) AmaRoma 5:4 asixelela ukuba, “UAbraham wakholwa kuThixo, waza oko kwabalelwa kuye njengobulungisa.” UAbraham wavakaliswa elilungisa ngokholo. Ivesi yesihlanu ithi ukuba nabani na unokholo olufana noluka-Abraham naye uvakaliswa elilungisa. Asikuko oko sikufumanayo, kodwa sinikwa njengesipho xa sikholelwa kuNyana wakhe owasifelayo. (AmaRoma 3:28)

KwabaseRoma 4:22-25 ithi, “amazwi athi, ‘kwabalelwa kuye’ ayengengenxa yakhe yedwa, kodwa nangenxa yethu thina bakholwayo kulowo wavusa uYesu iNkosi yethu kwabafileyo. KwabaseRoma 3:22 kucacisa into ekufuneka siyikholelwe xa kusithiwa, “olu bulungisa buvela kuThixo buvela ekukholweni kuYesu Kristu kubo bonke abakholwayo,” kuba (kwabaseGalati 3:13), “UKristu wasihlangula kwisiqalekiso somthetho ngokuba sisiqalekiso ngenxa yethu kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa ‘uqalekisiwe wonke umntu oxhonywe emthini.’” (Funda eyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 15:1-4)

Ukukholelwa kuphela kwento efunekayo nguThixo ukuze senziwe amalungisa. Xa sikholwa ukuba nathi sixolelwe izono zethu. KwabaseRoma 4: 7 & 8 bathi, "Unoyolo umntu ongasokuze abalelwe kuye sisono sakhe." Xa sikholelwa ukuba 'sizelwe ngokutsha' kusapho lukaThixo; siba ngabantwana baKhe. (Jonga uJohn 1: 12.) UJohn 3 iivesi 18 & 36 zisibonisa ukuba ngelixa abo bakholelwayo benobomi, abo bangakholwayo bagwetywe.

UThixo wabonisa ukuba siya kuba nobomi ngokuvusa uKristu. Ubizwa ngokuba lizibulo kwabafileyo. I-Korinte 15: 20 ithi xa uKrestu ebuya, nokuba siyafa, uya kusivusa. Ivesi 42 lithi umzimba omtsha awunakonakala.

Ithetha ukuthini ke le nto kuthi, ukuba sonke "sibi" emehlweni kaThixo kwaye sifanelwe sisohlwayo nokufa, kodwa uThixo uxela abo "bathe tye" abakholelwa kuNyana wakhe, ingaba oku kunesiphumo sini kwizinto ezimbi ezenzekayo "ezilungileyo" abantu. UThixo uthumela izinto ezilungileyo kubo bonke, (Funda uMateyu 6:45) kodwa bonke abantu bayasokola kwaye bafe. Kutheni le nto uThixo evumela abantwana bakhe ukuba babandezeleke? Ude uThixo asinike imizimba yethu emitsha sisengaphantsi kokufa ngokwasemzimbeni nokuba yintoni enokubangela oko. I-Korinte 15: 26 ithi, "olokugqibela utshaba oluya kutshatyalaliswa kukufa."

Kukho izizathu ezininzi zokuba kutheni uThixo evumela oku. Owona mfanekiso mhle ukuYobhi, lowo uThixo wambiza wathi tye. Ndizibalile ezinye zezi zizathu:

# 1.Kukho imfazwe phakathi koThixo noSathana kwaye siyabandakanyeka. Sonke siye sacula "AmaPhambili amaKrestu aPhambili," kodwa silibale ngokulula ukuba imfazwe iyinyani.

Kwincwadi kaJobhi, uSathana waya kuThixo wamtyhola uYobhi, esithi esona sizathu sokuba alandele uThixo kukuba uThixo wamsikelela ngobutyebi kunye nempilo. Ke uThixo "wamvumela" uSathana ukuba avavanye ukunyaniseka kukaYobhi ngokubandezeleka; Kodwa uThixo wabeka "uthango" olujikeleze uYobhi (umda apho uSathana wayenokubangela ukubandezeleka kwakhe). USathana wayenokwenza kuphela oko kuvunyelwe nguThixo.

Sibona ngale nto ukuba uSathana akanakusihlupha okanye asichukumise ngaphandle kokuba uThixo emvumele kwaye ngaphakathi kwemida. UThixo uhlala elawula. Sibona nokuba ekugqibeleni, nangona uYobhi wayengagqibelelanga, evavanya izizathu zikaThixo, akazange amkhanyele uThixo. Wamsikelela ngaphezu "konke awayenokukucela okanye akucinga."

INdumiso 97:10b (NIV) ithi, “Uyabalondoloza ubomi babathembekileyo bakhe.” KwabaseRoma 8:28 ithi, “Siyazi ukuba uThixo wenza zonke izinto zisebenzele okulungileyo kwabo bamthandayo uThixo.” Esi sisithembiso sikaThixo kubo bonke abakholwayo. Uyasikhusela kwaye uya kusikhusela kwaye uhlala enenjongo. Akukho nto ingaqhelekanga kwaye uhlala esisikelela – uzisa okulungileyo ngayo.

Sisempixaneni kwaye ukubandezeleka okuthile kunokuba sisiphumo soku. Kolu ngquzulwano uSathana uzama ukusityhafisa okanye ukusiyekisa ukukhonza uThixo. Ufuna sikhubeke okanye siyeke.

UYesu wakha wathi kuPetros kuLuka 22:31, "Simon, Simon, uSathana ufuna imvume yokunihluza njengengqolowa." I-Peter 5: 8 ithi, "Utshaba lwakho uMtyholi uhambahamba njengengonyama egqumayo efuna umntu angamqwengayo. UJames 4: 7b uthi, “Mchaseni uMtyholi, wonibaleka,” kwaye kwabase-Efese 6 sixelelwa ukuba "sime siqinile" ngokunxiba sonke isikrweqe sikaThixo.

Kuzo zonke ezi zilingo uThixo uyakusifundisa ukuba somelele kwaye sime njengejoni elithembekileyo; ukuba uThixo ufanelwe kukuthenjwa. Siza kubona amandla aKhe kunye nokuhlangulwa kunye nentsikelelo.

I-Korinte 10: 11 kunye no-2 Timoti 3:15 zisifundisa ukuba iZibhalo zeTestamente eNdala zabhalelwa ukufundiswa kwethu ngobulungisa. Kwimeko kaYobhi ngekhe aqonde zonke (okanye naziphi na) izizathu zokubandezeleka kwakhe kwaye nathi asinako.

# 2. Esinye isizathu, esityhilwe kwibali likaYobhi, kukuzukisa uThixo. Xa uThixo wangqina ukuba uSathana wayexoka ngoYobhi, uThixo wazukiswa. KuYohane 11: 4 siyakubona oku xa uYesu wathi, "Esi sifo asisi ekufeni, kodwa sizuko lukaThixo, ukuze uNyana kaThixo azukiswe." UThixo uhlala ekhetha ukusiphilisa ngenxa yozuko lwaKhe, ukuze siqiniseke ngokukhathalelwa kwakhe sithi okanye mhlawumbi sibe bubungqina kuNyana wakhe, ukuze abanye bakholwe kuye.

INdumiso 109: 26 & 27 ithi, "ndisindise kwaye bazi ukuba sisandla sakho; Wena, Nkosi, ukwenzile oku. ” Funda kwakhona iNdumiso 50:15. Ithi, “Ndiza kukuhlangula kwaye uyandihlonipha.”

# 3. Esinye isizathu sokubandezeleka kukuba kusifundisa ukuthobela. AmaHebhere 5: 8 athi, "UKristu wafunda ukuthobela ngezinto awabandezeleka ngazo." UJohn usixelela ukuba u Yesu wayehlala esenza ukuthanda kukaYise kodwa ke wakufumana oko xa wayesiya egadini wathandaza, "Bawo, hayi ukuthanda kwam kodwa okwakho." AmaFilipi 2: 5-8 asibonisa ukuba uYesu "wathobela de kwasekufeni, nkqu nokufa emnqamlezweni." Le yayiyintando kaBawo.

Singatsho ukuba siyakulandela kwaye sithobele -uPeter wayenza loo nto emva koko wakhubeka ngokukhanyela uYesu-kodwa asithobeli ngenene de sijongane novavanyo (ukhetho) kwaye senze into elungileyo.

U-Yob wafunda ukuthobela xa wayevavanywa kukubandezeleka kwaye wala 'ukuqalekisa uThixo,' kwaye wahlala ethembekile. Ngaba siya kuqhubeka silandela uKrestu xa evumela uvavanyo okanye siza kuncama siyeke?

Xa ukufundisa kukaYesu kwaba nzima ukuqonda abafundi abaninzi bashiya-bayekile ukumlandela. Ngelo xesha wathi kuPetros, Nani nifuna ukumka? Waphendula ke uPetros wathi, Ndingaya phi mna; Nguwe onamazwi obomi obungunaphakade. ” Emva koko uPetros wabhengeza uYesu njengoMesiya kaThixo. Wenza ukhetho. Oku kufanele ukuba kube yimpendulo yethu xa kuvavanywa.

#4. Ukubandezeleka kukaKristu kwamenza waba nguMbingeleli Omkhulu noMlamli wethu ogqibeleleyo, eqonda zonke izilingo zethu kunye nobunzima bobomi ngamava okwenyani njengomntu. (Hebhere 7:25) Oku kuyinyaniso nakuthi. Ukubandezeleka kunokusenza sikhule size sigqibelele kwaye kusenze sikwazi ukuthuthuzela nokuthandazela (ukuthandaza) abanye ababandezelekayo njengathi. Kuyinxalenye yokusenza sikhule (2 Timoti 3:15). Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 1:3-11 isifundisa ngale nkalo yokubandezeleka. Ithi, “uThixo wentuthuzelo yonke osithuthuzelayo kuzo zonke iimbandezelo zethu , ukuze nathi sibathuthuzele abo bakwiimbandezelo zonke ngentuthuzelo esiyifumeneyo kuThixo.” Ukuba ufunda eli nqaku lonke ufunda lukhulu malunga nokubandezeleka, njengoko nawe unokwenza kuYobhi. 1). Ukuba uThixo uya kubonisa intuthuzelo yakhe kunye nenkathalo yakhe. 2). UThixo uya kukubonisa ukuba unako ukukuhlangula. kunye no-3). Sifunda ukuthandazela abanye. Ngaba singathandazela abanye okanye thina ukuba bekungekho mfuneko? Ufuna sibize kuye, size kuye. Kusenza sincedane. Kusenza sikhathalele abanye size siqonde ukuba abanye emzimbeni kaKristu bayasikhathalela. Kusifundisa ukuthandana, umsebenzi webandla, umzimba kaKristu wabakholwayo.

# 5. Njengoko kubonwe kuYakobi isahluko sokuqala, ukubandezeleka kusinceda sinyamezele, kusenza sigqibelele kwaye kusomelele. Oku kuyinyani ngo-Abraham noJobhi abafunda ukuba banokomelela kuba uThixo wayenabo ukuba abaxhase. IDuteronomi 33: 27 ithi, "UThixo ongunaphakade uyindawo yakho yokusabela, kwaye ngaphantsi ziingalo ezingunaphakade." Zingaphi iziNdumiso athi uThixo uliKhuselo okanye iNqaba okanye iliwa okanye indawo yethu yokubalekela? Nje ukuba uve intuthuzelo yaKhe, uxolo okanye ukuhlangulwa okanye ukuhlangulwa kolunye uvavanyo ngokobuqu, awusoze ulibale kwaye xa unesinye isilingo womelele okanye ungabelana ngaso kwaye uncede omnye.

Isifundisa ukuba sixhomekeke kuThixo hayi kuthi, ukujonga kuYe, hayi kuthi okanye kwabanye abantu ukuba basincede (2 kwabaseKorinte 1: 9-11). Siyabubona ubuthathaka bethu kwaye sijonge kuThixo ngazo zonke iimfuno zethu.

#6. Ngokuqhelekileyo kucingelwa ukuba uninzi lokubandezeleka kwabakholwayo sisigwebo sikaThixo okanye isohlwayo (isohlwayo) ngenxa yesono esithile esisenzileyo. Oku kwakunjalo ngebandla laseKorinte apho ibandla lalizele ngabantu abaqhubeka nezono zabo zangaphambili. 1 kwabaseKorinte 11:30 ithi uThixo wayebagweba, esithi, “baninzi ababuthathaka nabagulayo phakathi kwenu kwaye baninzi abalele (abafileyo). Kwiimeko ezigqithisileyo uThixo unokumsusa umntu ovukelayo “emehlweni” njengoko sisitsho. Ndikholelwa ukuba oku kunqabile kwaye kugqithisile, kodwa kuyenzeka. AmaHebhere kwiTestamente eNdala angumzekelo woku. Ngokuphindaphindiweyo bavukela uThixo ngokungamthembi nangokungamthobeli, kodwa wayenomonde kwaye enomonde. Wabahlwaya, kodwa wamkela ukubuyela kwabo kuYe waza wabaxolela. Kwakusemva kokungathobeli ngokuphindaphindiweyo apho wabahlwaya kabuhlungu ngokuvumela iintshaba zabo ukuba zibakhonze ekuthinjweni.

Kuya kufuneka sifunde kule nto. Ngamanye amaxesha ukubandezeleka kukuqeqeshwa nguThixo, kodwa sibonile ezinye izizathu zokubandezeleka. Ukuba siyabandezeleka ngenxa yesono, uThixo uyasixolela ukuba simcela. Kuxhomekeke kuthi, njengoko isitsho kwi-I kwabaseKorinte 11: 28 & 31, ukuzihlola. Ukuba sikhangela iintliziyo zethu kwaye sifumanisa ukuba sonile, mna Yohane 1: 9 ithi kufuneka "sisivume isono sethu." Isithembiso kukuba uya "kusixolela isono sethu asihlambulule."

Khumbula ukuba uSathana "ngummangaleli wabazalwana" (IsiTyhilelo 12:10) kwaye njengoko wayekunye noYobhi ufuna ukusimangalela ukuze asenze sikhubeke simkhanyele uThixo. (Funda amaRoma 8: 1.) Ukuba siye sasivuma isono sethu, usixolele, ngaphandle kokuba siphindaphindile isono sethu. Ukuba siphindaphindile isono sethu kufuneka sisivume kwakhona rhoqo xa kukho imfuneko.

Ngelishwa, le ihlala iyinto yokuqala ethethwa ngamanye amakholwa xa umntu esiva ubunzima. Buyela kuYobhi. Abahlobo bakhe abathathu baxelela uYobhi ngokungafanelekanga ukuba uyona okanye akazukubandezeleka. Babengalunganga. I KwabaseKorinte bathi kwisahluko 11, ukuzivavanya. Akufuneki sigwebe abanye, ngaphandle kokuba singamangqina esono esithile, emva koko sinokubalungisa ngothando; Kwaye akufuneki ukuba samkele esi sisizathu sokuqala "seengxaki," kuthi nakwabanye. Singakhawuleza ukugweba.

Ikwathi, ukuba siyagula, singacela abadala ukuba basithandazele kwaye ukuba sonile siyakuxolelwa (Yakobi 5: 13-15). INdumiso 39: 11 ithi, "Uyabakhalimela kwaye ubaqeqeshe abantu ngenxa yesono sabo," kwaye iNdumiso 94:12 ithi, "Unoyolo umntu oma umqeqeshe, Nkosi, indoda oyifundisa emthethweni wakho."

Funda amaHebhere 12: 6-17. Uyasiqeqesha kuba singabantwana baKhe kwaye uyasithanda. Ku-Peter 4: 1, 12 & 13 kunye noPeter 2: 19-21 siyabona ukuba uqeqesho luyasihlambulula ngale nkqubo.

# 7. Ezinye zeentlekele zemvelo zinokuba ngumgwebo ebantwini, kumaqela okanye kwizizwe, njengoko kubonwa kunye namaYiputa kwiTestamente eNdala. Rhoqo siva amabali okhuseleko lukaThixo naKhe ngexesha lezi ziganeko njengoko wenzayo namaSirayeli.

# 8. UPawulos uveza esinye isizathu esinokubangela iingxaki okanye ubulwelwe. Ku-I KwabaseKorinte 12: 7-10 sibona ukuba uThixo wamvumela uSathana ukuba amphathe kakubi uPaul, "ambethe," amgcine ekuziphakamiseni. UThixo angathumela iimbandezelo ukuze sihlale sithobekile.

# 9. Amaxesha amaninzi ukubandezeleka, njengoko kwakunjalo ngoYobhi okanye uPawulos, kunokusebenza ngaphezulu kwenjongo enye. Ukuba uqhubeka ufunda kwi-2 kwabaseKorinte 12, ikwanceda ukufundisa, okanye ukwenza ukuba uPawulos abone ubabalo lukaThixo. Ivesi 9 lithi, "Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, amandla am enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka." Ivesi le-10 ithi, "Ngenxa kaKrestu ndiyayoliswa bubuthathaka, izithuko, ubunzima, iintshutshiso, ubunzima, kuba xa ndibuthathaka, kuxa ndinamandla."

# 10. Isibhalo sikwasibonisa ukuba xa sisokola, siba nenxaxheba ekubandezelekeni kukaKristu, (Funda kwabaseFilipi 3:10). AmaRoma 8: 17 & 18 ifundisa ukuba amakholwa "aya kusokola", abelane ngokubandezeleka kwakhe, kodwa ukuba abo benza njalo baya kulawula kunye naye. Funda mna Petros 2: 19-22

Uthando olukhulu lukaThixo

Siyazi ukuba xa uThixo esivumela nakuphi na ukubandezeleka kulunge kuthi kuba uyasithanda (KwabaseRoma 5: 8). Siyazi ukuba uhlala ekunye nathi ngoko ke uyazi malunga nayo yonke into eyenzekayo ebomini bethu. Akukho nto imangalisayo. Funda uMateyu 28:20; INdumiso 23 neyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 13: 11-14. AmaHebhere 13: 5 athi, "Akayi kusishiya okanye asilahle." Iindumiso zithi usinqumle. Bona kwakhona iNdumiso 32:10; 125: 2; 46:11 no-34: 7. UThixo akaqeqeshi nje, uyasisikelela.

KwiiNdumiso kuyacaca ukuba uDavid nabanye ababhali beNdumiso babesazi ukuba uThixo uyabathanda kwaye wabangqonga ngenkuselo nokhathalelo. INdumiso 136 (NIV) ithi kwiivesi zonke uthando lwakhe luhlala ngonaphakade. Ndifumanise ukuba eli gama liguqulelwe uthando kwi-NIV, inceba kwi-KJV kunye nothando kwi-NASV. Abaphengululi bathi akukho lizwi linye lesiNgesi elichaza okanye liguqulela igama lesiHebhere elisetyenziswe apha, okanye andifanele nditsho naliphi na igama elaneleyo.

Ndafika kwisigqibo sokuba akukho lizwi linokuchaza uthando lukaThixo, uhlobo lothando analo kuthi uThixo. Kubonakala ngathi luthando olungasifanelanga (yiyo loo nto inceba yoguqulo) engaphaya kokuqonda komntu, ethe nkqi, inyamezelayo, ingenakophuka, ingafi kwaye ingunaphakade. UJohn 3: 16 uthi mkhulu kakhulu ukuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe ukuba asifele izono zethu (Phinda ufunde amaRoma 5: 8). Kungenxa yolu thando lukhulu asilungisa ngalo njengomntwana olungiswa ngutata, kodwa ngoluphi uqeqesho anqwenela ukusisikelela ngalo. INdumiso 145: 9 ithi, “INkosi ilungile kubo bonke.” Jonga kwakhona iNdumiso 37: 13 & 14; 55:28 kunye no-33: 18 & 19.

Sidla ngokunxulumanisa iintsikelelo zikaThixo nokufumana izinto esizifunayo, njengemoto entsha okanye indlu – iminqweno yeentliziyo zethu, iminqweno yobugovu. UMateyu 6:33 uthi wongeza ezi zinto kuthi ukuba sifuna ubukumkani bakhe kuqala. (Jonga neNdumiso 36:5.) Ixesha elininzi sicela izinto ezingasilungelanga – njengabantwana abancinci. INdumiso 84:11 ithi, “Akukho nto ilungileyo aya kuyibandeza abo bahamba ngokuthe tye.”

Ekuphandeni kwam ngokukhawuleza kwiiNdumiso ndafumana iindlela ezininzi uThixo asikhathalele ngazo kwaye asisikelele. Zininzi kakhulu iivesi zokuzibhala zonke. Khangela ezinye phezulu - uya kusikelelwa. Ngowethu:

Singaluthandabuza njani uthando lwaKhe. Iindumiso 95: 7 ithi, "thina singumhlambi ophantsi kwengcinezelo yakhe." UJames 1: 17 usixelela ukuba, "Zonke izipho ezilungileyo kunye nazo zonke izipho ezigqibeleleyo zivela phezulu."

KwabaseFilipi 4: 6 kunye noPeter 5: 7 bathi akufuneki sixhalabele nantoni na, kodwa kufuneka simcele ukuba ahlangabezane neemfuno zethu kuba usikhathalele. UDavide wakwenza oku ngokuphindaphindiweyo njengoko kubhaliwe kwiiNdumiso.

11). Wathumela uYesu ukuba asisindise. INdumiso 106: 1; 136: 1; UYeremiya 33:11 Sithethe ngesona senzo sakhe sikhulu sothando. AmaRoma 5: 8 isixelela ukuba yile ndlela abonakalisa ngayo uthando lwaKhe kuthi, kuba wenza oku ngelixa sisengaboni. (Yohane 3:16; Mna Yohane 3: 1, 16) Usithanda kakhulu Usenza abantwana baKhe. UYohane 1:12

Zininzi iinkcazo zothando lukaThixo esiBhalweni:

Uthando lwakhe luphakeme kunamazulu. Iindumiso 103

Akukho nto inokusahlula kuyo. KwabaseRoma 8:35

Ngonaphakade. Iindumiso 136; UYeremiya 31: 3

KuYohane 15: 9 kunye ne13: 1 UYesu usixelela indlela abathanda ngayo abafundi bakhe.

Kwi-2 kwabaseKorinte 13: 11 & 14 Ubizwa ngokuba "nguThixo wothando."

KuYohane 4: 7 ithi, "uthando luvela kuThixo."

KuYohane 4: 8 ithi "UTHIXO UTHANDO."

Njengabantwana baKhe abathandayo uyakusilungisa kwaye asisikelele. KwiNdumiso 97: 11 (NIV) ithi "Usinika UVUYO," kwaye iNdumiso 92: 12 & 13 ithi "ilungisa liya kuchuma." Iindumiso 34: 8 ithi, “ngcamlani nibone ukuba ulungile uYehova… usikelelekile umntu ozimela ngaye.”

Ngamanye amaxesha uThixo uthumela iintsikelelo ezikhethekileyo kunye nezithembiso zezenzo ezithile zokuthobela. INdumiso 128 ichaza iintsikelelo zokuhamba ngeendlela zaKhe. Kwiintsikelelo (Matewu 5: 3-12) Uvuza iindlela ezithile zokuziphatha. KwiNdumiso 41: 1-3 Usikelela abo banceda amahlwempu. Ke ngamanye amaxesha iintsikelelo zakhe zinemiqathango (iNdumiso 112: 4 & 5).

Ekubandezelekeni, uThixo ufuna ukuba sikhale, sicele uncedo lwakhe njengoDavide. Kukho ulungelelwaniso olucacileyo lweZibhalo phakathi 'kokubuza' kunye "nokwamkela." UDavide wakhala kuThixo kwaye wafumana uncedo lwaKhe, kwaye kunjalo nakithi. Ufuna ukuba sibuze ukuze siqonde ukuba nguYe onika impendulo kwaye emva koko simnike umbulelo. KwabaseFilipi 4: 6 bathi, "Musani ukuxhalela nantoni na, kodwa ezintweni zonke, ngomthandazo nangesicelo, ninombulelo, zingeniseni izicelo zenu kuThixo."

I-Ndumiso 35: 6 ithi, "le ndoda ilihlwempu yakhala kwaye u Yehova wayiva," kwaye ivesi ye-15 ithi, "Iindlebe zakhe zivulekile ukukhala kwabo," kwaye "ukulila okulungileyo kwaye iNkosi iyabeva ibasindise kuko konke iingxaki. ” INdumiso 34: 7 ithi, “Ndayifuna iNkosi, yandiphendula.” Jonga iNdumiso 103: 1 & 2; Iindumiso 116: 1-7; INdumiso 34:10; INdumiso 35:10; INdumiso 34: 5; INdumiso 103: 17 kunye neNdumiso 37:28, 39 & 40. Umnqweno kaThixo omkhulu kukuva nokuphendula ukukhala kwabangasindiswanga abakholelwayo kwaye bamkele uNyana wakhe njengoMsindisi wabo nokubanika ubomi obungunaphakade (iNdumiso 86: 5).

isiphelo

Ukuqukumbela, bonke abantu baya kusokola ngandlela thile kwaye ngelinye ixesha kwaye kuba sonke sonile siwela phantsi kwesiqalekiso esikhokelela ekufeni ngokwasenyameni. INdumiso 90: 10 ithi, "Ubude bemihla yethu yiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe okanye amashumi asibhozo ukuba sinamandla, kodwa ubude babo bubunzima kunye nosizi." Oku kuyinyani. Funda iNdumiso 49: 10-15.

Kodwa uThixo uyasithanda kwaye unqwenela ukusisikelela sonke. UThixo uyazibonakalisa iintsikelelo zakhe ezikhethekileyo, ubabalo, izithembiso kunye nokukhuselwa kwabo bangamalungisa, kwabo bakholwayo, abamthandayo nabamkhonzayo, kodwa uThixo wenza ukuba iintsikelelo zakhe (njengemvula) ziwele kubo bonke, "abalungileyo nabangalunganga" 4:45). Jonga iNdumiso 30: 3 & 4; IMizekeliso 11:35 neNdumiso 106: 4. Njengoko sibonile isenzo esikhulu sikaThixo sothando, esona sipho sakhe sihle kunye neentsikelelo yayisisipho soNyana wakhe, Lowo wamthuma ukuba asifele izono zethu (I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-3). Funda uJohn 3: 15-18 & 36 kunye noJohn 3:16 kunye namaRoma 5: 8 kwakhona.)

UThixo uthembisa ukuva ubizo (ukukhala) lwamalungisa kwaye uyakuva aze aphendule bonke abakholwayo kwaye bambize kuye ukuba abasindise. KwabaseRoma 10: 13 ithi, "Bonke abasukuba belinqula igama leNkosi bosindiswa." UTimoti 2: 3 & 4 uthi "Unqwenela ukuba bonke abantu basindiswe kwaye bafikelele elwazini lwenyaniso." Isityhilelo 22: 17 ithi, "Nabani na oza kuza," kwaye uJohn 6: 48 uthi "ngekhe abalahle." Ubenza babe ngabantwana baKhe (Yohane 1:12) kwaye bangena phantsi kovuyo lwakhe olukhethekileyo (Ndumiso 36: 5).

Ukubeka nje, ukuba uThixo wasihlangula kuko konke ukugula okanye ingozi asisayi kuze sife kwaye sakuhlala emhlabeni njengoko sisazi ngonaphakade, kodwa uThixo usithembisa ngobomi obutsha kunye nomzimba omtsha. Andiqondi ukuba singanqwenela ukuhlala emhlabeni njengoko kunjalo ngonaphakade. Njengamakholwa xa sisifa siya kuba neNkosi ngonaphakade. Yonke into izakuba ntsha kwaye uyakudala izulu nomhlaba omtsha, ogqibeleleyo (IsiTyhilelo 21: 1, 5). IsiTyhilelo 22: 3 sithi, "akusayi kubakho siqalekiso," kwaye isiTyhilelo 21: 4 sithi, "izinto zokuqala zidlule." IsiTyhilelo 21: 4 sikwathi, "Akusayi kubakho kufa, kungabi sabakho kuzila nakukhala nantlungu kwakhona." AmaRoma 8: 18-25 isixelela ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina kwaye iyasokola ilindele loo mhla.

Okwangoku, uThixo akavumeli nantoni na ukuba yenzeke kuthi engalungelanga thina (KwabaseRoma 8:28). UThixo unesizathu sayo nantoni na ayivumelayo, njengokubona amandla aKhe kunye namandla akhe, okanye ukuhlangulwa kwakhe. Ukubandezeleka kuya kusibangela ukuba size kuye, sibangele ukuba sikhale kuye (sithandaze) kuye kwaye sijonge kuye simthembe.

Konke oku kukwamkela uThixo kwaye ukuba ungubani. Imalunga nolawulo nozuko lwaKhe. Abo bangavumiyo ukukhonza uThixo njengoThixo baya kuwela esonweni (Funda amaRoma 1: 16-32.). Bazenza uthixo. UYobhi kwafuneka amamkele uThixo wakhe njengoMdali noMongami. INdumiso 95: 6 & 7 ithi, "masiguqe phantsi sinqule, siguqe phambi koYehova uMenzi wethu, kuba nguThixo wethu." Iindumiso 96: 8 ithi, “Mnikeni uYehova uzuko lwegama lakhe.” INdumiso 55: 22 ithi, “Phosa ixhala lakho eNkosini, uyokuxhasa; Akayi kuliyekela ilungisa lisweleke. ”
