Ukuphendula lo mbuzo, iBhayibheli lifundisa ngokusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona yonke indawo, ngakho uhlala enathi njalo. Ukuyo yonke indawo. Ubona konke futhi uzwe konke. AmaHubo 139 athi asinakukubalekela ukuba khona Kwakhe. Ngiphakamisa ukuthi ngifunde leli Hubo lonke elithi evesini 7, "ngingayaphi ngisuke ebusweni bakho?" Impendulo ayikho ndawo, ngoba ukuyo yonke indawo.

I-2 IziKronike 6:18 ne-8 AmaKhosi 27:17 kanye neZenzo 24: 28-23 zisikhombisa ukuthi uSolomoni, owakhela uNkulunkulu Ithempeli othembise ukuhlala kulo, wabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengeke abe khona endaweni ethile. UPaul wakubeka kanjena kuzEnzo lapho ethi, "INkosi yezulu nomhlaba ayihlali emathempelini enziwe ngezandla." UJeremiya 23: 24 & 1 uthi "Ugcwalisa izulu nomhlaba." Kwabase-Efesu 23:XNUMX bathi Ugcwalisa “konke kukho konke.”

Kepha okholwayo, labo abakhethe ukwamukela nokukholwa eNdodaneni yaKhe (bona uJohn 3: 16 noJohane 1: 12), Uthembisa ukuba nathi ngendlela ekhetheke kakhulu njengoBaba wethu, uMngane wethu, uMvikeli wethu noMhlinzeki. UMathewu 28: 20 uthi, "bhekani, nginawe njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni kweminyaka."

Lesi isithembiso esingenamibandela, asikwazi noma asibangeli ukuthi senzeke. Lokhu kuliqiniso ngoba uNkulunkulu ukusho.

Ithi futhi lapho ababili noma abathathu (amakholwa) bebuthene ndawonye, ​​"ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabo." (UMathewu 18:20 KJV) Asibizi phansi, sicela, noma ngenye indlela sinxuse uBukhona Bakhe. Uthi Unathi, ngakho Unjalo. Kuyisithembiso, iqiniso, iqiniso. Kumele sikukholwe nje futhi sikuthembe. Yize uNkulunkulu engavinjelwe esakhiweni, unathi ngendlela ekhetheke kakhulu, noma ngabe siyakuzwa noma cha. Yeka isithembiso esihle.

Kwabakholwayo, unathi ngenye indlela ekhethekile kakhulu. UJohane isahluko sokuqala uthi uNkulunkulu uzosinika isipho sikaMoya waKhe. KuzEnzo izahluko 1 no-2 kanye noJohane 14:17, uNkulunkulu usitshela ukuthi lapho uJesu efa, evuka kwabafileyo futhi enyukela kuBaba, wayezothumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba ahlale ezinhliziyweni zethu. KuJohane 14:17 wathi, “uMoya weqiniso…ohlala kini, futhi ozoba kini.” I KwabaseKorinte 6:19 ithi, “umzimba wenu uyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele okini , enimthole kuNkulunkulu…” Ngakho-ke kwabakholwayo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala ngaphakathi kwethu.

Siyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathi kuJoshuwa kuJoshuwa 1: 5, futhi kuyaphindwa kumaHeberu 13: 5, "Angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle." Bala ngakho. AmaRoma 8: 38 & 39 asitshela ukuthi akukho okungasihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, olukuKristu.

Nakuba uNkulunkulu ehlala enathi, lokho akusho ukuthi uzohlala esilalela. U-Isaya 59:2 uthi isono sizosihlukanisa noNkulunkulu ngomqondo wokuthi ngeke asilalele, kodwa ngoba uhlala enathi , uzohlala esizwa uma sivuma (sivuma) isono sethu, futhi uzosithethelela leso sono. Leso isithembiso. (1 Johane 1:9; 2 IziKronike 7:14)

Futhi uma ungakholwa, ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu bubalulekile ngoba Ubona wonke umuntu futhi ngoba "akafuni ukuthi kubhubhe namunye." (2 Petru 3: 9) Uyohlala ezwa ukukhala kwalabo abakholwayo bambize ukuthi abe nguMsindisi wabo, bakholwe yiVangeli. (I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-3) "Ngoba wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi uyosindiswa." (KwabaseRoma 10: 13) UJohn 6: 37 uthi ngeke axoshe noma ngubani, futhi noma ngubani othanda ukuza. (Isambulo 22:17; Johane 1:12)

Abantu abaningi banombono oyiphutha wokuthi abantu bazalwa bengamaKristu. Kungaba yiqiniso ukuthi abantu bazalwa emndenini lapho umzali oyedwa noma ngaphezulu ekholwa kuKristu, kepha lokho akumenzi umuntu abe ngumKrestu. Ungahle uzalwe ekhaya lenkolo ethile kodwa ekugcineni umuntu ngamunye kumele akhethe lokho akukholelwayo.

UJoshua 24:15 uthi, "zikhethele namuhla ukuthi uzokhonza bani." Umuntu akazalwa engumKristu, kumayelana nokukhetha indlela yensindiso esonweni, hhayi ukukhetha isonto noma inkolo.

Inkolo ngayinye inonkulunkulu wayo, umdali womhlaba wabo, noma umholi omkhulu onguthisha ophambili ofundisa indlela yokungafi. Zingahle zifane noma zehluke ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu weBhayibheli. Iningi labantu likhohlisiwe ngokucabanga ukuthi zonke izinkolo ziholela kunkulunkulu oyedwa, kepha zikhonzwa ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene. Ngalolu hlobo lokucabanga kukhona abadali abaningi noma izindlela eziningi eziya kunkulunkulu. Kodwa-ke, lapho ehlolwa, amaqembu amaningi athi ukuphela kwendlela. Abaningi baze bacabange ukuthi uJesu ungumfundisi omkhulu, kepha yena ungaphezulu kakhulu kwalokho. UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa (Johane 3:16)

Ibhayibheli lithi kukhona uNkulunkulu oyedwa kuphela nendlela eyodwa yokuza kuye. I-Thimothewu 2: 5 ithi, "Kukhona uNkulunkulu oyedwa nomlamuleli oyedwa phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu, umuntu uKristu Jesu." UJesu wathi kuJohane 14: 6, “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila, akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami.” IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ka-Adamu, u-Abrahama noMose unguMdali wethu, uNkulunkulu noMsindisi wethu.

Incwadi ka-Isaya inezikhombo eziningi kakhulu ezibhekisela kuNkulunkulu weBhayibheli njengowukuphela kukaNkulunkulu noMdali. Empeleni kushiwo evesini lokuqala leBhayibheli, uGenesise 1:1, “Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala amazulu nomhlaba.” U-Isaya 43:10 no-11 uthi, “ukuze nazi, nikholwe mine, niqonde ukuthi nginguye. Ngaphambi kwami ​​akwenziwanga nkulunkulu, futhi akuyikuba khona omunye emva kwami. Mina, yebo mina, nginguJehova, ngaphandle kwami ​​​​akukho msindisi.”

U-Isaya 54:5, lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma no-Israyeli, uthi, “Ngokuba uMenzi wakho ungumyeni wakho, uJehova uSomandla igama lakhe – oNgcwele ka-Israyeli unguMhlengi wakho, ubizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.” UnguNkulunkulu uSomandla, uMdali womhlaba wonke. UHoseya 13:4 uthi, “akekho uMsindisi ngaphandle kwami.” Kwabase-Efesu 4:6 bathi kukhona “uNkulunkulu oyedwa noBaba wethu sonke.”

Kunezinhlobo eziningi, amavesi amaningi:

IHubo 95: 6

U-Isaya 17: 7

U-Isaya 40:25 umbiza ngokuthi “uNkulunkulu Ongunaphakade, iNkosi, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba.”

U-Isaya 43: 3 umbiza ngokuthi, “Nkulunkulu oNgcwele ka-Israyeli”

U-Isaya 5:13 umbiza ngokuthi, "UMenzi Wakho"

U-Isaya 45: 5,21 & 22 uthi kukhona, "akekho omunye uNkulunkulu."

Bheka futhi: u-Isaya 44: 8; Marku 12:32; I KwabaseKorinte 8: 6 noJeremiya 33: 1-3

IBhayibheli lisho ngokusobala ukuthi Ungukuphela kukaNkulunkulu, uMdali yedwa, uMsindisi kuphela futhi usikhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi Ungubani. Ngakho-ke yini eyenza uNkulunkulu weBhayibheli ahluke futhi amhlukanise. Nguye othi ukholo lunikeza indlela yokuthethelelwa ezonweni ngaphandle kokuzama ukukuthola ngobuhle bethu noma ngezenzo ezinhle.

Umbhalo usibonisa ngokusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu owadala umhlaba uthanda sonke isintu, kangangokuthi wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba isisindise, ukukhokha isikweletu noma isijeziso sezono zethu. UJohane 3:16 no-17 uthi, “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa…ukuba izwe lisindiswe ngayo.” UJohane 1 4:9 no-14 uthi, “Ngalokhu uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwabonakaliswa kithi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ezweni ukuze siphile ngayo…uBaba wathumela iNdodana ukuba ibe nguMsindisi wezwe.” UJohane 1 5:16 uthi, “UNkulunkulu usiphile ukuphila okuphakade futhi lokhu kuphila kuseNdodaneni yakhe.” KwabaseRoma 5:8 kuthi, “Kepha uNkulunkulu ubonakalisa uthando lwakhe kithi, ngokuthi siseseyizoni, uKristu wasifela.” UJohane 1 2:2 uthi, “Yena uqobo uyinhlawulo (inkokhelo nje) yezono zethu; hhayi ezethu zodwa, kodwa nezezwe lonke.” Ukubuyisana kusho ukwenza inhlawulo noma inkokhelo yesikweletu sesono sethu. I Thimothi 4:10 ithi, uNkulunkulu “unguMsindisi wabo bonke abantu.”

Ngakho-ke umuntu uzilungiselela kanjani yena le nsindiso? Umuntu uba kanjani ngumKristu? Ake sibheke kuJohane isahluko sesithathu lapho uJesu uqobo echaza lokhu kumholi wamaJuda, uNikodemu. Weza kuJesu ebusuku enemibuzo nokungaqondi kahle futhi uJesu wamnika izimpendulo, izimpendulo esizidingayo sonke, izimpendulo zemibuzo oyibuzayo. UJesu wamtshela ukuthi ukuze abe yingxenye yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu kwakudingeka ukuthi azalwe kabusha. UJesu watshela uNikodemu ukuthi Yena (uJesu) kwakumele aphakanyiswe (ekhuluma ngesiphambano, lapho ayezofela khona ukukhokhela isono sethu), okwakuzokwenzeka maduze ngokomlando.

UJesu wabe esemtshela ukuthi kunento eyodwa kwakudingeka ayenze, UKHOLWA, ukholelwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamthuma ukuba afele izono zethu; futhi lokhu kwakungelona iqiniso kuNikodemu kuphela, kodwa futhi nakulo “izwe lonke,” okubandakanya nawe njengoba ucashunwe ku-I John 2: 2. UMathewu 26:28 uthi, “Lesi yisivumelwano esisha egazini lami, elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono.” Bona futhi I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-3, ethi leli yivangeli lokuthi, "Wafela izono zethu."

KuJohane 3:16 Watshela uNikodemu, emtshela okumele akwenze, "ukuthi noma ngubani okholwa kuye uzothola ukuphila okuphakade." UJohn 1: 12 usitshela ukuthi siba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu kanti uJohn 3: 1-21 (funda lonke leli vesi) usitshela ukuthi "sizalwe kabusha." UJohn 1: 12 ukubeka ngalendlela, “Bonke abamamukelayo, ubanikeze igunya lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa egameni lakhe.”

UJohn 4: 42 uthi, "ngoba sizizwele ngokwethu futhi siyazi ukuthi Lo unguye ngempela uMsindisi womhlaba." Lokhu yilokho okumele sikwenze sonke, sikholwe. Funda amaRoma 10: 1-13 aphetha ngokuthi, "noma ngubani ozobiza igama leNkosi uyosindiswa."

Yilokhu uJesu athunywa nguYise ukuba akwenze futhi njengoba efa wathi, "Kuphelile" (John 19:30). Akagcinanga nje ngokuqeda umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kepha amagama athi “Kufeziwe” asho ngokoqobo ngesiGreki, “Ukhokhelwe ngokuphelele,” amagama abhalwe embhalweni wokukhululwa kwesiboshwa lapho ekhululwa futhi lokho kwakusho ukuthi isijeziso sakhe “sasikhokhiwe ngokusemthethweni” ngokugcwele. ” Ngalokho uJesu wayesho ukuthi isijeziso sethu sokufa ngesono (bheka amaRoma 6:23 athi inkokhelo noma isijeziso sesono ukufa) kwase kukhokhwe nguYe ngokugcwele.

Izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi le nsindiso imahhala kuwo wonke umhlaba (Johane 3:16) AbaseRoma 6:23 abagcini nje ngokuthi, “inkokhelo yesono ingukufa,” kodwa futhi ithi, “kepha isipho sikaNkulunkulu singunaphakade ukuphila ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. ” Funda iSambulo 22:17. Ithi, "Noma ngubani ongamvumela ukuba athathe amanzi okuphila ngesihle." UThithu 3: 5 & 6 uthi, “hhayi ngemisebenzi yokulunga esiyenzile kepha ngokwesihawu sakhe wasisindisa…” Yeka insindiso emangalisayo uNkulunkulu ayinikezile.

Njengoba sibonile, ukuphela kwendlela. Kodwa-ke, kumele futhi sifunde ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthini kuJohane 3: 17 & 18 nakuvesi 36. AmaHeberu 2: 3 athi, "thina sizophunyuka kanjani uma singayinaki insindiso enkulu kangaka?" UJohn 3: 15 & 16 uthi labo abakholwayo banokuphila okuphakade, kepha ivesi 18 lithi, "noma ngubani ongakholwayo ulahliwe vele ngoba akakholwanga egameni leNdodana ezelwe yodwa kaNkulunkulu." Ivesi lama-36 lithi, “kepha noma ngubani owala iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. KuJohane 8:24 uJesu wathi, "Ngaphandle kokuthi nikholwe ukuthi nginguye, nizakufela ezonweni zenu."

Kungani kunjalo? Izenzo 4:12 ziyasitshela! Ithi, “Futhi ayikho enye insindiso, ngoba alikho elinye igama phansi kwezulu elinikwe abantu okufanele sisindiswe ngalo.” Ayikho enye indlela. Sidinga ukulahla imibono yethu nemibono yethu samukele indlela kaNkulunkulu. Uluka 13: 3-5 uthi, "ngaphandle kokuthi niphenduke (okusho ukuthi ukushintsha umqondo ngesiGriki), niyakubhubha nonke ngokunjalo." Isijeziso sabo bonke abangakholelwa futhi abamukele ukuthi bazojeziswa ingunaphakade ngezenzo zabo (izono zabo).

Isambulo 20: 11-15 sithi, “Ngase ngibona isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe nalowo owayehlezi kuso. Umhlaba nezulu kwabaleka ebusweni bakhe, futhi kwakungekho ndawo yazo. Ngabona abafileyo, abakhulu nabancane, bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, kwavulwa izincwadi. Enye incwadi yavulwa, eyincwadi yokuphila. Abafileyo bahlulelwa ngokwalokho ababekwenzile njengoba kubhaliwe ezincwadini. Ulwandle lwakhipha abafileyo ababekulo, nokufa neHayidese kwakhipha abafileyo ababekukho, wahlulelwa yilowo nalowo njengokwenza kwakhe. Khona-ke ukufa neHayidese kwaphonswa echibini lomlilo. Ichibi lomlilo lingukufa kwesibili. Uma-ke noma ngubani engatholakalanga igama lakhe lilotshiwe encwadini yokuphila, waphonswa echibini lomlilo. ” ISambulo 21: 8 sithi, “Kepha amagwala, nabangakholwayo, nababi, nababulali, nabaziphethe kabi, nabenza imilingo, nabakhonza izithombe, nabo bonke abaqamba amanga - indawo yabo izoba echibini lomlilo lesibabule esivuthayo. Lokhu kungukufa kwesibili. ”

Funda iSambulo 22:17 futhi futhi noJohane isahluko 10. UJohane 6:37 uthi, "Lowo oza Kimi angisoze ngamxosha…" uJohn 6:40 uthi, "Kuyintando kaYihlo ukuthi wonke umuntu abone iNdodana futhi akholelwe kuyo angaba nokuphila okuphakade; Mina uqobo ngiyomvusa ngosuku lokugcina. Funda uNumeri 21: 4-9 noJohane 3: 14-16. Uma ukholwa uyakusindiswa.

Njengoba sixoxile, umuntu akazalwa engumKrestu kepha ukungena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu kuyisenzo sokukholwa, ukukhetha kunoma ngubani ofuna ukukholwa futhi azalwe emndenini kaNkulunkulu. Mina Johane 5: 1 uthi, Noma ngubani okholwa ukuthi uJesu unguKristu uzelwe nguNkulunkulu. ” UJesu uzosisindisa ingunaphakade futhi izono zethu zithethelelwe. Funda abaseGalathiya 1: 1-8 Lo akuwona umbono wami, kepha yiZwi likaNkulunkulu. UJesu ukuphela koMsindisi, ukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu, ukuphela kwendlela yokuthola intethelelo.

Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu kwesinye isikhathi bahlanganisa noma badidanise ukukholwa nemizwa noma bacabange ukuthi ukukholwa kufanele kuphelele, kungangabazeki. Indlela enhle yokuqonda ukukholwa ukubuka ukusetshenziswa kwegama emBhalweni bese ulitadisha.

Impilo yethu yobuKristu iqala ngokukholwa, ngakho-ke indawo enhle yokuqala isifundo sokholo kungaba ngamaRoma 10: 6-17, echaza ngokusobala ukuthi impilo yethu kuKristu iqala kanjani. Kulo mBhalo sizwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi siyalikholelwa bese sicela uNkulunkulu ukuba asisindise. Ngizochaza ngokugcwele. Evesini 17 lithi ukukholwa kuvela ekuzweni amaqiniso esishunyayezwe ngawo ngoJesu eZwini likaNkulunkulu, (Funda I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-4); okungukuthi, iVangeli, ukufa kukaKristu Jesu ngenxa yezono zethu, ukungcwatshwa nokuvuka kwakhe. Ukholo yinto esiyenzayo ekuphenduleni ukuzwa. Siyakukholwa noma siyakwala. AmaRoma 10: 13 & 14 achaza ukuthi ikuphi ukukholwa okusisindisayo, ukholo olwanele ukucela noma ukubiza uNkulunkulu ukuthi asisindise ngokuya ngomsebenzi kaJesu wokuhlenga. Udinga ukholo olwanele lokuMcela ukuthi akusindise futhi uthembisa ukukwenza. Funda uJohane 3: 14-17, 36.

UJesu wabuye watshela izindaba eziningi zezehlakalo zangempela ukuchaza ukukholwa, njengalokho okukuMarku 9. Indoda yeza kuJesu nendodana yakhe enedemoni. Ubaba ucela uJesu, "uma kukhona ongakwenza… sisize," futhi uJesu uphendula ngokuthi uma ekholwa ukuthi zonke izinto bezinokwenzeka. Indoda iyaphendula kulokho, "Nkosi ngiyakholwa, siza ukungakholwa kwami." Le ndoda yayizwakalisa ngokweqiniso ukholo lwayo olungaphelele, kodwa uJesu wayiphulukisa indodana yakhe. Lesi yisibonelo esihle sokholo lwethu olungaphelele. Ngabe ukhona kithi onokholo oluphelele, oluphelele noma ukuqonda?

Izenzo 16: 30 & 31 zithi sisindisiwe uma simane sikholelwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu. UNkulunkulu kwenye indawo usebenzisa amanye amagama njengoba sibonile kwabaseRoma 10:13, amagama anjengokuthi “biza” noma “cela” noma “thola” (John 1:12), “woza kuye” (John 6: 28 & 29) athi, “Lokhu kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu okholelwa Kuye Lowo Amthumile, 'nevesi 37 elithi, "Lowo oza Kimi angisoze ngamxosha," noma "ngiyothatha" (Isambulo 22:17) noma "bheka" kuJohn 3: 14 & 15 (bona uNumeri 21: 4-9 ngemuva). Zonke lezi zindatshana zikhomba ukuthi uma sinokholo olwanele lokucela insindiso Yakhe, sinokholo olwanele lokuzalwa kabusha. Mina John 2:25 uthi, "Futhi yilokhu asithembise khona - ngisho nokuphila okuphakade." KuJohn 3: 23 nakuJohn 6: 28 & 29 ukukholwa kungumyalo. Kubizwa nangokuthi "umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu," into okumele siyenze noma singayenza. Uma uNkulunkulu esitshela noma esiyala ukuba sikholwe ngokuqinisekile kuyisinqumo sokukholelwa kulokho asitshela khona, okungukuthi, iNdodana yakhe ifele izono zethu esikhundleni sethu. Lesi yisiqalo. Isithembiso sakhe siqinisekile. Usinika ukuphila okuphakade futhi sizalwe kabusha. Funda uJohn 3: 16 & 38 noJohn 1: 12

KuJohane 5:13 ivesi elihle futhi elihehayo eliqhubeka lithi, “lokhu kubhalelwe nina enikholwa eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu, ukuze nazi ukuthi ninokuphila okuphakade, nokuthi niqhubeke nokukholwa iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. ” AmaRoma 1: 16 & 17 athi, "abalungile bazophila ngokukholwa." Kunezici ezimbili lapha: "siphila" - sithola impilo yaphakade, futhi "siphila" impilo yethu yansuku zonke lapha futhi manje ngokholo. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ithi "ukholo okholweni." Sengeza ukholo okholweni, sikholwa empilweni engunaphakade futhi siyaqhubeka nokukholwa nsuku zonke.

2 KwabaseKorinte 5: 8 ithi, "ngoba sihamba ngokukholwa, hhayi ngokubona." Siphila ngezenzo zokuthembela okulalelayo. IBhayibheli likhuluma ngalokhu njengokuphikelela noma ukuqina. Funda amaHeberu isahluko 11. Lapha kuthiwe akunakwenzeka ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokholo. Ukukholwa kuwubufakazi bezinto ezingabonwayo; UNkulunkulu kanye nokudala Kwakhe umhlaba. Sibe sesinikezwa izibonelo eziningana zezenzo "zokholo olulalelayo." Impilo yobuKrestu iwukuhamba okuqhubekayo ngokukholwa, igxathu negxathu, umzuzwana nomzuzwana, ukholelwa kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali nezithembiso nezimfundiso zaKhe. I KwabaseKorinte 15:58 ithi, “Qinani, nihlale nichichima umsebenzi weNkosi.”

Ukholo akuwona umuzwa, kodwa ngokusobala yilokho esikhetha ukukwenza njalo.

Empeleni umthandazo unjalo futhi. UNkulunkulu uyasitshela, uyasiyala nokuthi sithandaze. Usifundisa nokuthi singathandaza kanjani kuMathewu isahluko 6. Ku-1 Johane 5:14, ivesi lapho uNkulunkulu esiqinisekisa khona ngokuphila kwethu okuphakade, ivesi liyaqhubeka lisiqinisekisa ukuthi singaqiniseka ukuthi uma “sicela noma yini ngokwentando yaKhe, uyasizwa,” futhi uyasiphendula. Ngakho qhubeka uthandaza; kuyisenzo sokholo. Thandaza, noma ungazizwa sengathi uyakuzwa noma kubonakala sengathi akukho mpendulo. Lesi yisibonelo sendlela ukholo, ngezinye izikhathi, oluphambene ngayo nemizwa. Umthandazo uyisinyathelo esisodwa sokuhamba kwethu kokholo.

Kunezinye izibonelo zokholo ezingashiwongo kumaHeberu 11. Izingane zakwa-Israyeli ziyisibonelo "sokungakholwa." Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngenkathi besehlane, bakhetha ukungakukholwa abakutshelwa nguNkulunkulu; bakhethe ukungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali ngakho-ke bazakhela “owabo unkulunkulu” ngegolide futhi bakholwa ukuthi abakwenzile “kwakunguNkulunkulu.” Kuwubuwula kanjani lokho. Funda abaseRoma isahluko sokuqala.

Nathi senza into efanayo namuhla. Sisungula “inkolelo” yethu ukuze ivumelane nathi, enye esiyithola ilula, noma eyamukelekayo kithina, okusinika ukwaneliseka okusheshayo, kube sengathi uNkulunkulu ulapha ukuzosikhonza, hhayi enye indlela, noma uyinceku yethu futhi hhayi thina baKhe, noma “singunkulunkulu,” hhayi Yena uNkulunkulu onguMdali. Khumbula amaHeberu athi ukukholwa kungubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu ongabonakali woMdali.

Ngakho izwe lichaza uhlobo lwayo lokholo, isikhathi esiningi esithinta lutho ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu, indalo yakhe noma iZwi laKhe.

Izwe livame ukuthi, “yiba nokholo” noma lithi nje “kholwa” ngaphandle kokukutshela ukuthi yini okufanele ube nokholo kuyo, njengokungathi yinto ngokwayo, uhlobo oluthile lokungabi nalutho onquma ukukholelwa kulo. Ukholelwa entweni ethile, lutho noma yini, noma yini ekwenza uzizwe kahle. Akuchazeki, ngoba abachazi ukuthi basho ukuthini. Kuyindalo yomuntu, engaguquki, edidayo futhi engenakutholwa.

Njengoba sibona kumaHeberu 11, ukholo lwemiBhalo lunento: Kumelwe sikholwe kuNkulunkulu futhi sikholelwa eZwini laKhe.

Esinye isibonelo, esihle, indaba yezinhloli ezazithunyelwe nguMose ukuyobheka izwe uNkulunkulu atshela abantu Bakhe abakhethiwe ukuthi uzobanika lona. Itholakala kuNumeri 13: 1-14: 21. UMose wathumela amadoda ayishumi nambili “eZweni Lesithembiso.” Abayishumi babuya futhi babuya nombiko omubi futhi odikibala okwenza abantu bangabaze uNkulunkulu nesithembiso saKhe bese bekhetha ukubuyela eGibhithe. Abanye ababili, uJoshua noKalebi, bakhethe, yize babona imidondoshiya ezweni, ukuthembela kuNkulunkulu. Bathi, "Kufanele sikhuphuke sithathe umhlaba." Bakhethe, ngokholo, ukukhuthaza abantu ukuthi bakholwe nguNkulunkulu futhi baqhubekele phambili njengoba uNkulunkulu ebayalile.

Lapho sikholwa futhi saqala impilo yethu noKristu, saba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu futhi Yena waba nguBaba wethu (Johane 1:12). Zonke izithembiso zakhe zaba ngezethu, njengabaseFilipi isahluko 4, uMathewu 6: 25-34 kanye nabaseRoma 8:28.

Njengasendabeni kaBaba wethu ongumuntu, esimaziyo, asikhathazeki ngezinto ubaba wethu angasinakekela ngoba siyazi ukuthi uyasikhathalela futhi uyasithanda. Sithemba uNkulunkulu ngoba siyamazi. Funda eyesi-2 Petru 1:2-7, ikakhulukazi ivesi 2. Lokhu ukholo. La mavesi athi umusa nokuthula kuza ngokwazi kwethu uNkulunkulu noJesu iNkosi yethu.

Njengoba sifunda ngoNkulunkulu futhi simethemba siyakhula okholweni lwethu. Umbhalo ufundisa ukuthi siyamazi ngokutadisha umBhalo (2 Peter 1: 5-7), futhi ukholo lwethu luyakhula njengoba siqonda uBaba wethu waseZulwini, ukuthi Ungubani nokuthi unjani ngeZwi. Abantu abaningi, nokho, bafuna “umlingo” okholwayo osheshayo; kepha ukukholwa kuyinqubo.

U-2 Peter 1: 5 uthi kufanele sengeze ubuhle bokholo lwethu bese siqhubeka nokwengeza kulokho; inqubo esikhula ngayo. Le ndima yombhalo iqhubeka ithi, "umusa nokuthula makwande kini, ekwazini uNkulunkulu noJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu." Ngakho-ke ukuthula kuvela nasekwazini uNkulunkulu uBaba noNkulunkulu iNdodana. Ngale ndlela umthandazo, ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu neZwi kanye nokukholwa kuyasebenzisana. Ekufundeni Ngaye, UnguMniki wokuthula. AmaHubo 119: 165 athi, "Banokuthula okukhulu labo abathanda umthetho Wakho, futhi akukho lutho olungabakhubekisa." AmaHubo 55:22 athi, “Phonsa izinkathazo zakho eNkosini uzokuxhasa; Akasoze avumela olungileyo awe. ” Ngokufunda iZwi likaNkulunkulu sixhuma kulowo osinika umusa nokuthula.

Sesibonile ukuthi kumakholwa uNkulunkulu uyayizwa imithandazo yethu futhi ayinikeze ngokuvumelana nentando yakhe (I John 5:14). Ubaba omuhle uzosinika okuhle kuphela kithi. AmaRoma 8:25 asifundisa ukuthi yilokhu uNkulunkulu asenzela khona nathi. Funda uMathewu 7: 7-11.

Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi lokhu akufani nokucela kwethu nokuthola noma yini esiyifunayo, ngaso sonke isikhathi; ngaphandle kwalokho sizokhula sibe yizingane ezonakele esikhundleni samadodana namadodakazi avuthiwe kaBaba. UJakobe 4: 3 uthi, “Uma ucela, awutholi, ngoba ucela ngezinhloso ezimbi, ukuze usebenzise lokho okutholayo ezintweni zakho zokuzijabulisa.” Umbhalo ufundisa nakuJakobe 4: 2 ukuthi, "Awunakho, ngoba awuceli kuNkulunkulu." UNkulunkulu ufuna sikhulume naye, ngoba yilokho umthandazo okuyikho. Ingxenye enkulu yomthandazo ukucela izidingo zethu nezidingo zabanye. Ngale ndlela siyazi ukuthi usinikezile impendulo. Bona I Peter 5: 7 futhi. Ngakho-ke uma udinga ukuthula, kucele. Thembela kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uzokunika njengoba udinga. UNkulunkulu uphinde athi kumaHubo 66:18, “uma ngibheka ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ayiyikungizwa.” Uma sonile kufanele sisivume kuye ukuze silunge. Funda I John 1: 9 & 10.

AbaseFilipi 4: 6 & 7 bathi, "ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa, kanye nokubonga. UJesu. ” Lapha futhi umthandazo uboshelwe okholweni nasolwazini ukusinika ukuthula.

AbaseFilipi babe sebethi cabanga ngezinto ezinhle bese "wenze" okufundayo, futhi, "uNkulunkulu wokuthula uzoba nawe." UJames uthi babe ngabenzi beZwi hhayi abezwayo kuphela (uJames 1: 22 & 23). Ukuthula kuza ngokwazi uMuntu omethembayo nokulalela iZwi lakhe. Njengoba umthandazo ukhuluma noNkulunkulu neTestamente Elisha lisitshela ukuthi amakholwa anakho ukufinyelela okuphelele “esihlalweni sobukhosi somusa” (Hebheru 4:16), singakhuluma noNkulunkulu ngakho konke, ngoba useyazi vele. KuMathewu 6: 9-15 Emthandazweni WeNkosi Usifundisa ukuthi kanjani nokuthi yiziphi izinto okufanele sizithandazele.

Ukukholwa okulula kuyakhula njengoba kusetshenziswa futhi "kusetshenzwe" ngokulalela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu njengoba ibonwe eZwini Lakhe. Khumbula u-2 Peter 1: 2-4 uthi ukuthula kuvela olwazini ngoNkulunkulu oluvela eZwini likaNkulunkulu.

Ngamafuphi:

Ukuthula kuvela kuNkulunkulu kanye nolwazi ngaye.

Sifunda ngaye eZwini.

Ukukholwa kuvela ekuzweni iZwi likaNkulunkulu.

Umthandazo uyingxenye yalolu kholo nenqubo yokuthula.

Akusikho kanye nakho konke okuhlangenwe nakho, kodwa ukuhamba ngezinyathelo ngezinyathelo.

Uma ungakaqali lolu hambo lokholo, ngicela ukuthi ubuyele emuva ufunde u-1 Peter 2:24, u-Isaya isahluko 53, u-I kwabaseKorinte 15: 1-4, amaRoma 10: 1-14, noJohn 3: 16 & 17 no-36 Izenzo 16:31 zithi, "Kholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu futhi uzosindiswa."

Ngemuva kokufunda imibuzo yakho nokuphawula kwakho kubonakala sengathi unokholo oluthile kuNkulunkulu naseNdodaneni yaKhe, uJesu, kodwa futhi unokungaqondi okuningi. Ubonakala ubona uNkulunkulu ngemibono yabantu kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho futhi umbona njengoMuntu Okufanele enze okufunayo, kube sengathi uyisisebenzi noma ufunwa, ngakho-ke wehlulela isimo Sakhe, bese uthi “kusengozini.”

Mangiqale ngitshele ukuthi izimpendulo zami zizosekelwe eBhayibhilini ngoba yilo kuphela umthombo onokwethenjelwa wokuqonda ngempela ukuthi ngubani uNkulunkulu nokuthi ungubani.

Asikwazi 'ukudala' unkulunkulu wethu avumelane nemiyalo yethu, ngokuya ngezifiso zethu. Asikwazi ukuthembela ezincwadini noma emaqenjini ezenkolo noma eminye imibono, kufanele samukele uNkulunkulu weqiniso kumthombo okuwukuphela kwakhe asinike wona, umBhalo. Uma abantu bebuza konke noma ingxenye yomBhalo sishiywa yimibono yabantu kuphela, engavumi neze. Sinonkulunkulu nje owenziwe ngabantu, unkulunkulu oqanjiwe. Uyindalo yethu kuphela futhi akayena uNkulunkulu nhlobo. Singase futhi senze unkulunkulu wezwi noma wamatshe noma wesithombe segolide njengo-Israyeli.

Sifuna ukuba nonkulunkulu owenza lokho esikufunayo. Kepha asikwazi ngisho nokuguqula uNkulunkulu ngezimfuno zethu. Simane senza njengabantwana, siba nolaka ukuze sithole esikufunayo. Akukho esikwenzayo noma ukwahlulela okunquma ukuthi Ungubani futhi zonke izimpikiswano zethu azinamthelela “esimweni” Sakhe. "Isimo" sakhe asikho "engozini" ngoba sisho njalo. Unguye: uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uMdali wethu.

Ngakho Ungubani uNkulunkulu wangempela. Kunezimpawu nezimfanelo eziningi kakhulu engizokhuluma ngazo kuphela futhi ngeke “ngithole umbhalo wokuqinisekisa” zonke. Uma ufuna ungaya emthonjeni onokwethenjelwa onjenge- “Bible Hub” noma “Bible Gateway” online wenze ucwaningo.

Nazi ezinye zezimfanelo Zakhe. UNkulunkulu unguMdali, unguMbusi, unguSomandla. Ungcwele, Ulungile futhi ulungile futhi umahluleli olungile. Ungubaba wethu. Ungukukhanya neqiniso. Ungunaphakade. Angeke aqambe amanga. UThithu 1: 2 uyasitshela, “Ngethemba lokuphila okuphakade, uNkulunkulu, ONGEKE WAQALA AMANGA, akuthembisa kudala. UMalaki 3: 6 uthi akaguquki, "nginguJehova, angiguquki."

AKUKHO esikwenzayo, akukho senzo, umbono, ulwazi, izimo, noma ukwahlulela okungashintsha noma kuthinte "isimo" Sakhe. Uma simsola noma simmangalela, akashintshi. Unguye izolo, namuhla naphakade. Nazi ezinye izimfanelo ezimbalwa: Ukhona yonke indawo; Wazi yonke into (azi konke) okwedlule, kwamanje nekusasa. Uphelele futhi UTHANDO (I John 4: 15-16). UNkulunkulu unothando, unomusa futhi unesihe kubo bonke.

Kufanele siqaphele lapha ukuthi zonke izinto ezimbi, izinhlekelele nezinhlekelele ezenzekayo, kwenzeka ngenxa yesono esangena emhlabeni lapho u-Adamu ona (i-Roma 5: 12). Ngakho kufanele isimo sethu sengqondo sibe kanjani ngoNkulunkulu wethu?

UNkulunkulu unguMdali wethu. Wadala umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo. (Bheka uGenesise 1-3.) Funda amaRoma 1: 20 & 21. Kusho ukuthi ngoba unguMdali wethu futhi ngenxa yokuthi unguNkulunkulu, kufanele ukuthi simhloniphe, simdumise futhi simdumise. Ithi, “Ngoba selokhu kwadalwa umhlaba, izimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu ezingabonakali - amandla aKhe angunaphakade kanye nesimo Sakhe sobunkulunkulu - ziye zabonakala ngokusobala, zaqondakala ngokwenziwe, ukuze abantu bangabi nazaba. Ngoba noma bebemazi uNkulunkulu, abamkhazimulisanga njengoNkulunkulu, futhi kabambonganga uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukucabanga kwabo kwaba yize futhi izinhliziyo zabo eziyiziwula zaba mnyama. ”

Kumele sihloniphe futhi sibonge uNkulunkulu ngoba unguNkulunkulu futhi ngoba unguMdali wethu. Funda futhi amaRoma 1: 28 & 31. Ngibone okuthile okuthakazelisa kakhulu lapha: ukuthi lapho singamhloniphi uNkulunkulu noMdali wethu siba "abangenakuqonda."

Ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu kungumsebenzi wethu. UMathewu 6: 9 uthi, “Baba wethu Osezulwini malingcweliswe iGama Lakho.” UDuteronomi 6: 5 uthi, "Wothanda uJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho." KuMathewu 4:10 lapho uJesu athi kuSathane, “Suka kimi, Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: 'Khuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze yena yedwa.' ”

AmaHubo 100 asikhumbuza ngalokhu lapho ethi, "khonzani iNkosi ngokuthokoza," "yazini ukuthi iNkosi uqobo inguNkulunkulu," nevesi 3, "Nguye owasenza hhayi thina uqobo." Ivesi 3 lithi futhi, “Singabantu baKhe, izimvu zedlelo lakhe.” Ivesi 4 lithi, "Ngenani emasangweni akhe ngokubonga nasemagcekeni akhe ngokudumisa." Ivesi 5 lithi, “Ngokuba uJehova muhle, umusa wakhe umi phakade, nokuthembeka kwakhe ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.”

NjengamaRoma iyasiyala ukuthi simnike ukubonga, ukudumisa, udumo kanye nesibusiso! Amahubo 103: 1 athi, “Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami, nakho konke okuphakathi kwami ​​makubonge igama lakhe elingcwele.” AmaHubo 148: 5 acacile lapho ethi, “Mabadumise uJehova ngokuba wayala futhi badalwa,” futhi evesini 11 lisitshela ukuthi ngubani okufanele amdumise, “Onke amakhosi omhlaba nabantu bonke,” nevesi 13 Uyanezela, "Ngoba igama laKhe lodwa liphakeme."

Ukwenza izinto zigcizelele ngokwengeziwe abaseKolose 1:16 ithi, "zonke izinto zadalwa Nguye zadalelwa Yena" futhi "Ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto" futhi isAmbulo 4:11 siyanezela, "ngentando yakho zikhona futhi zadalwa." Sidalelwe uNkulunkulu, Akadalelwanga thina, ukujabulisa thina noma ngathi ukuthola lokho esikufunayo. Akezeli ukuzosikhonza, kepha sizomkhonza. Njengoba isAmbulo 4:11 sisho, “Ufanele, Nkosi yethu noNkulunkulu wethu, ukwamukela inkazimulo nodumo nodumo, ngokuba nguwe owadala zonke izinto, ngokuba ngentando yakho zadalwa zaba khona.” Kufanele simkhonze. AmaHubo 2:11 athi, "Khulekani iNKOSI ngenhlonipho nithokoze ngokuthuthumela." Bheka futhi uDuteronomi 6:13 no-2 IziKronike 29: 8.

Uthe ufana noJobe, ukuthi "uNkulunkulu wayemthanda ngaphambili." Ake sibheke ubunjalo bothando lukaNkulunkulu ukuze ubone ukuthi akayeki ukusithanda, noma ngabe senzani.

Umqondo wokuthi uNkulunkulu uyeka ukusithanda ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isizathu uvamile ezinkolweni eziningi. Incwadi yezimfundiso enginayo ethi, “Great Doctrines of the Bible kaWilliam Evans” lapho ngikhuluma ngothando lukaNkulunkulu ithi, “UbuKrestu yiyona kuphela inkolo ebeka uMuntu oPhakeme njengo“ Uthando. Ibeka onkulunkulu bezinye izinkolo njengabantu abathukuthele abafuna imisebenzi yethu emihle ukubathokozisa noma ukuthola isibusiso sabo. ”

Sinamaphuzu amabili okusetshenziswa maqondana nothando: 1) uthando lomuntu no-2) Uthando lukaNkulunkulu njengoba lwembulwe kithi emiBhalweni. Uthando lwethu lunamaphutha yisono. Kuyashintshashintsha noma kungaphela lapho uthando lukaNkulunkulu lumi phakade. Asikwazi ngisho nokuqonda noma ukuqonda uthando lukaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu uluthando (I John 4: 8).

Incwadi ethi, “Elemental Theology” ebhalwe nguBancroft, ekhasini 61 lapho ikhuluma ngothando ithi, “isimilo salowo onothando sinikeza uthando othandweni.” Lokho kusho ukuthi uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelele ngoba uNkulunkulu uphelele. (Bheka uMathewu 5:48.) UNkulunkulu ungcwele, ngakho uthando Lwakhe lumsulwa. UNkulunkulu ulungile, ngakho uthando Lwakhe alulingani. UNkulunkulu akaguquki, ngakho uthando Lwakhe aluguquguquki, lwehluleke noma luyeke. I KwabaseKorinte 13:11 sichaza uthando oluphelele ngokusho lokhu, "Uthando alusoze lwaphela." UNkulunkulu kuphela onalo lolu hlobo lothando. Funda iHubo 136. Wonke amavesi akhuluma ngomusa kaNkulunkulu athi umusa Wakhe umi ingunaphakade. Funda kwabaseRoma 8: 35-39 ethi, “ngubani ongasihlukanisa nothando lukaKristu? Ngabe usizi noma izinkathazo noma ukushushiswa noma indlala noma ukuhamba-ze noma ingozi noma inkemba? ”

Ivesi 38 liyaqhubeka, “Ngoba ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, nakho okukhona, nezinto ezisezayo, namandla, nokuphakama, nokujula, nanoma yini enye edaliwe ayikwazi ukusehlukanisa nathi uthando lukaNkulunkulu. ” UNkulunkulu uluthando, ngakho-ke ngeke asisize kodwa asithande.

UNkulunkulu uthanda wonke umuntu. UMathewu 5: 45 uthi, “Wenza ilanga lakhe liphume liwele kwababi nabahle, futhi uthumela imvula kwabalungile nakwabangalungile.” Ubusisa wonke umuntu ngoba uyabathanda bonke. UJames 1:17 uthi, "Zonke izipho ezinhle nazo zonke izipho eziphelele zivela phezulu futhi zehla zivela kuYise wezibane okungekho kuye ukuguquguquka nasithunzi sokuphenduka." AmaHubo 145: 9 athi, “INKOSI ilungile kubo bonke; Unesihawu ngakho konke akwenzileyo. ” UJohn 3: 16 uthi, "Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa."

Kuthiwani ngezinto ezimbi. UNkulunkulu uthembisa okholwayo ukuthi, "Zonke izinto zisebenzelana okuhle kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 8:28)". UNkulunkulu angavumela izinto ukuthi zingene empilweni yethu, kepha qiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzivumele kuphela ngesizathu esihle kakhulu, hhayi ngoba uNkulunkulu ngandlela thile noma ngasizathu simbe ekhethe ukushintsha umqondo Wakhe ayeke ukusithanda.
UNkulunkulu angase akhethe ukusivumela ukuba sibhekane nemiphumela yesono kodwa angase akhethe ukusigcina kuzo, kodwa njalo izizathu Zakhe zivela othandweni futhi inhloso yenzalo yethu.

UKUNIKEZWA KOTHANDO KWENSINDISO

Umbhalo uyasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono. Ukuthola uhlu oluthile, bheka izAga 6: 16-19. Kepha uNkulunkulu akazizondi izoni (I Thimothewu 2: 3 & 4). Eyesi-2 kaPetru 3: 9 ithi, “INkosi… iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuba nibhubhe, kodwa ukuthi bonke baphenduke.”

Ngakho uNkulunkulu walungisa indlela yokuhlengwa kwethu. Lapho sona noma siphambuka kuNkulunkulu Akaze asishiye futhi uhlala njalo elindele ukuba sibuye, akapheli ukusithanda. UNkulunkulu usinikeza indaba yendodana yolahleko kuLuka 15: 11-32 ukufanekisa uthando lwaKhe ngathi, lolobaba onothando ejabulela ukubuya kwendodana yakhe eyaphambuka. Akubona bonke obaba abangabantu abanje kodwa uBaba wethu waseZulwini uhlala esamukela. UJesu uthi kuJohane 6:37, “Bonke uBaba angipha bona bazokuza kimi; nalowo oza kimi angisoze ngamlahlela ngaphandle. ” UJohn 3: 16 uthi, "UNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka." I-Timothy 2: 4 ithi uNkulunkulu "ufisa ukuthi bonke abantu basindiswe futhi bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso." Abase-Efesu 2: 4 & 5 bathi, "Kepha ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu ngathi, uNkulunkulu, ocebile ngesihawu, wasiphilisa noKristu noma ngabe sasifile ngeziphambeko - nisindiswe ngomusa."

Isibonakaliso esikhulu sothando emhlabeni wonke ilungiselelo likaNkulunkulu lokusindiswa kwethu nokuthethelelwa. Udinga ukufunda amaRoma izahluko 4 & 5 lapho kuchazwa okuningi kwecebo likaNkulunkulu. AmaRoma 5: 8 & 9 athi, "UNkulunkulu ukhombisa uthando lwaKhe kithina, ngokuthi ngenkathi siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela. Kakhulu-ke manje, sesilungisisiwe ngegazi lakhe, siyakusindiswa ngaye olakeni lukaNkulunkulu. ” Mina uJohn 4: 9 & 10 uthi, "Yile ndlela uNkulunkulu akhombise ngayo uthando lwaKhe phakathi kwethu: Wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni ukuze siphile ngayo. Uthando lolu: akukhona ukuthi thina sasithanda uNkulunkulu, kepha ukuthi yena wasithanda thina, wathuma iNdodana yakhe ibe ngumhlatshelo wokuhlawulela izono zethu. ”

UJohn 15: 13 uthi, "Akekho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, ukuthi adele impilo yakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe." Mina kuJohane 3: 16 ithi, "Yile ndlela esazi ngayo ukuthi uthando luyini: UJesu Kristu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yethu…" Kulapha ku-I John lapho kuthiwa "uNkulunkulu Uluthando (isahluko 4, ivesi 8). Lokho Nguye. Lokhu kungubufakazi bokugcina bothando lwaKhe.

Kumele sikukholwe okushiwo nguNkulunkulu - Uyasithanda. Akunandaba ukuthi kwenzekani kithi noma ukuthi izinto zibukeka kanjani okwamanje uNkulunkulu usicela ukuba sikholwe kuye nasothandweni Lwakhe. UDavid, obizwa ngokuthi "yindoda enenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu uqobo," kwiHubo 52: 8, "ngithemba uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungapheli kuze kube phakade naphakade." Mina John 4:16 kufanele kube umgomo wethu. “Futhi sesiyazi futhi siyalukholwa uthando uNkulunkulu analo ngathi. UNkulunkulu uluthando, nalowo ohlala othandweni uhlala kuNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu uhlala kuye. ”

Uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu oluyisisekelo

Nalu uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lokusisindisa. 1) Sonile sonkhe. AbaseRoma 3:23 bathi, "Bonke bonile futhi bayasilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu." AbaseRoma 6:23 bathi "Inkokhelo yesono ngukufa." U-Isaya 59: 2 uthi, "Izono zethu zehlukanisile noNkulunkulu."
2) Nkulunkulu unikete indlela. UJohane 3:16 uthi, “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa…” KuJohane 14: 6 uJesu wathi, “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami. ”

I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1 & 2 "Lesi yisipho sikaNkulunkulu samahhala sensindiso, ivangeli engilethule ngalo osindiswa ngalo." Ivesi 3 lithi, "Ukuthi uKristu wafela izono zethu," futhi ivesi 4 liyaqhubeka, "ukuthi wangcwatshwa nokuthi wavuswa ngosuku lwesithathu." UMathewu 26:28 (KJV) uthi, "Leli igazi lami lesivumelwano esisha elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi ngenjongo yokuthethelelwa kwesono." UPetru 2:24 (NASB) uthi, "Yena uqobo wathwala izono zethu emzimbeni Wakhe esiphambanweni."

3) Asikwazi ukuzuza usindiso lwethu ngokwenza imisebenzi emihle. Kwabase-Efesu 2: 8 & 9 ithi, “Ngoba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; futhi lokho akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; hhayi ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo. ” UThithu 3: 5 uthi, “Kepha lapho umusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu kumuntu lungaveli ngemisebenzi yokulunga esiyenzileyo thina, kodwa ngokomusa wakhe wasisindisa…” eyesi-2 Thimothewu 2: 9 ithi, “ osisindisile wasibizela empilweni engcwele - hhayi ngenxa yanoma yini esiyenzile kodwa ngenxa yenhloso yakhe nomusa wakhe. ”

4) Insindiso nokuthethelelwa kukaNkulunkulu kwenziwa kanjani kube ngokwakho: UJohane 3:16 uthi, “ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa kuye angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” UJohn usebenzisa igama kholwa izikhathi ezingama-50 encwadini kaJohane kuphela ukuchaza ukuthi ungasithola kanjani isipho sikaNkulunkulu samahhala sokuphila okuphakade nentethelelo. KwabaseRoma 6:23 kuthi, "Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu." AmaRoma 10:13 athi, "Wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi uyosindiswa."

Isiqiniseko sokuthethelela

Kungakho sinesiqiniseko sokuthi izono zethu zithethelelwe. Impilo engunaphakade iyisithembiso “kuwo wonke umuntu okholwayo” naku “uNkulunkulu akaqambi amanga.” UJohane 10:28 uthi, “Ngizinika ukuphila okuphakade, azisoze zabhubha naphakade.” Khumbula uJohane 1:12 uthi, “Bonke abamamukelayo wabanika ilungelo lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa egameni lakhe.” Kuyisikhwama esincike “esimweni” Sakhe sothando, iqiniso nobulungiswa.

Uma uze kuye futhi wamukela uKristu usindisiwe. UJohane 6:37 uthi, “Lowo oza kimi angisoze ngamxosha.” Uma ungamcelanga ukuba akuthethelele futhi wamukele uKristu, ungakwenza lokho ngalo mzuzu.
Uma ukholelwa kolunye uhlobo lokuthi Ungubani uJesu nolunye uhlobo lwalokho akwenzele khona kunaleyo enikezwe emiBhalweni, udinga "ukushintsha umqondo wakho" futhi wamukele uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu noMsindisi womhlaba . Khumbula, ukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu (Johane 14: 6).

Intethelelo

Ukuthethelela kwethu kuyingxenye eyigugu yensindiso yethu. Incazelo yokuthethelelwa ukuthi izono zethu ziyathunyelwa futhi uNkulunkulu akasazikhumbuli. U-Isaya 38:17 uthi, "Ulahle zonke izono zami ngemuva kwakho." AmaHubo 86: 5 athi, “Ngoba wena Nkosi ulungile, ukulungele ukuthethelela, unomusa omkhulu kubo bonke abakubizayo.” Bheka abaseRoma 10:13.

AmaRoma 4: 7 & 8 athi, "Babusisiwe abazenzo zabo zokwephula umthetho zithethelelwe futhi abazono zabo zimboziwe. Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engasoze yasinaka. ” Lokhu ukuxolelwa. Uma ukuthethelela kwakho kungesona isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu usithathaphi, ngoba njengoba sesibonile, awusoze wakuthola.

AbaseKolose 1:14 bathi, “Esinokuhlengwa kuye, nokuxolelwa kwezono.” Bheka Izenzo 5:30 & 31; 13:38 no-26: 18. Onke la mavesi akhuluma ngokuthethelelwa njengengxenye yensindiso yethu. Izenzo 10:43 zithi, "Wonke umuntu okholwa kuye uthola ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngegama lakhe." Kwabase-Efesu 1: 7 kushiwo nalokhu futhi, “Esinokuhlengwa ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngokwengcebo yomusa wakhe.”

Akunakwenzeka ngoNkulunkulu ukuba aqambe amanga. Akakwazi ukukwenza. Akuyona into engenangqondo. Intethelelo isekelwe esithembisweni. Uma samukela uKristu sixolelwe. Izenzo 10:34 zithi, "uNkulunkulu akabheki ubuso bamuntu." Ukuhunyushwa kwe-NIV kuthi, "uNkulunkulu akabonisi ukukhetha."

Ngifuna ukuthi uye ku-1 John 1 ukuze ubonise ukuthi kusebenza kanjani kumakholwa ahlulekayo nokona. Singabantwana Bakhe futhi njengabababa bethu babantu, noma uyise wendodana echithayo, uyathethelela, ngakho uBaba wethu waseZulwini uyasithethelela futhi uyasamukela futhi, futhi.

Siyazi ukuthi isono siyasihlukanisa noNkulunkulu, ngakho isono siyasihlukanisa noNkulunkulu noma singabantwana Bakhe. Akusihlukanisi nothando lwaKhe, futhi akusho ukuthi asiseyona izingane zaKhe, kepha kwephula ubudlelwane bethu Naye. Awukwazi ukuthembela emizweni lapha. Vele ukholelwe izwi lakhe lokuthi uma wenza okulungile, vuma, ukuxolele.

Sinjengabantwana

Masisebenzise isibonelo somuntu. Lapho ingane encane ingalaleli futhi ibhekene nayo, ingakufihla, noma iqambe amanga noma ifihlele umzali wayo ngenxa yecala layo. Angase enqabe ukuvuma iphutha lakhe. Ngakho-ke uzihlukanisile nabazali bakhe ngoba wesaba ukuthi bazokuthola akwenzile, futhi wesabe ukuthi bazomthukuthelela noma bamjezise lapho bethola. Ukusondelana nokunethezeka kwengane nabazali bayo kuphukile. Akakwazi ukuzwa ukuphepha, ukwamukelwa nothando abanalo ngaye. Ingane isifane no-Adamu no-Eva ecashe eNsimini yase-Edene.

Nathi senza into efanayo ngoBaba wethu osezulwini. Lapho sona, sizizwa sinecala. Sesaba ukuthi uzosijezisa, noma angayeka ukusithanda noma asilahle. Asifuni ukuvuma ukuthi asilungile. Ubudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu bunqamukile.

UNkulunkulu akasishiyi, uthembisile ukuthi akasoze asishiya. Bona uMathewu 28:20, othi, "Futhi impela nginawe njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba." Sicashile kuYe. Asikwazi ukucasha ngempela ngoba Uyazi futhi ubona konke. AmaHubo 139: 7 athi, “Ngingayaphi ngisuka kuMoya wakho? Ngingabalekelaphi ngisuke ebusweni bakho? ” Sifana no-Adamu lapho sifihle uNkulunkulu. Uyasifuna, ulinde ukuthi size kuye sizocela intethelelo, njengoba nje nomzali efuna nje ingane ukuthi ikubone futhi ikwamukele ukungalaleli kwayo. Yilokhu uBaba wethu waseZulwini akufunayo. Ulinde ukusixolela. Uzosibuyisela njalo emuva.

Obaba abangabantu bangayeka ukuthanda ingane, yize lokho kungavamile ukwenzeka. KuNkulunkulu, njengoba sesibonile, uthando Lwakhe ngathi alusoze lwaphela, alupheli. Usithanda ngothando olungapheliyo. Khumbula amaRoma 8: 38 & 39. Khumbula ukuthi akukho okungasihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, asiyeki ukuba ngabantwana Bakhe.

Yebo, uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono futhi njengoba u-Isaya 59: 2 esho, “izono zakho zehlukanise phakathi kwakho noNkulunkulu wakho, izono zakho zifihle ubuso bakhe kuwe.” Ithi evesini 1, “ingalo yeNkosi ayimfushane ukuba isindise, nendlebe yayo ayibuthuntu ukuzwa,” kepha iHubo 66: 18 ithi, “Uma ngibheka ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ayizukungizwa . ”

Mina uJohn 2: 1 & 2 utshela okholwayo, "Bantwana bami abathandekayo, nginibhalela lokhu ukuze ningoni. Kodwa uma noma ubani ona, sinaye lowo okhuluma noBaba esivikela - uJesu Kristu, Olungileyo. ” Amakholwa angenza futhi enze isono. Empeleni mina John 1: 8 & 10 ngithi, "Uma sithi asinasono, siyazikhohlisa kanti iqiniso alikho kithi" futhi "uma sithi asonanga, simenza umqambimanga, futhi izwi lakhe hhayi kithi. ” Lapho senza isono uNkulunkulu usikhombisa indlela eya emuva evesini 9 ethi, “Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono, asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi.”

Kumele sikhethe ukuvuma izono zethu kuNkulunkulu ngakho-ke uma singatholi ukuthethelelwa kuyiphutha lethu, hhayi elekaNkulunkulu. Kungukukhetha kwethu ukulalela uNkulunkulu. Isithembiso sakhe siqinisekile. Uzosixolela. Angeke aqambe amanga.

Amavesi kaJobe Anobuntu BukaNkulunkulu

Ake sibheke uJobe selokhu umkhulisile futhi sibone ukuthi kusifundisani ngempela ngoNkulunkulu nobudlelwano bethu Naye. Abantu abaningi abayiqondi kahle incwadi kaJobe, ukulandisa kwayo kanye nemiqondo yayo. Kungaba enye yezincwadi zeBhayibheli ezingaqondakali kakhulu.

Omunye wemibono eyiphutha yokuqala ukucabanga ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuhlala kuyisibonakaliso sentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu esonweni noma ezonweni esizenzile. Ngokusobala yilokho abangane bakaJobe abathathu ababeqiniseka ngakho, uNkulunkulu ekugcineni wabasola ngakho. (Sizobuyela kulokho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.) Okunye ukucabanga ukuthi ukuchuma noma izibusiso kuhlala njalo noma kuyisibonakaliso sokuthi uNkulunkulu uyathokoza ngathi. Akulungile. Lo ngumbono womuntu, umcabango ocabanga ukuthi sithola umusa kaNkulunkulu. Ngabuza omunye umuntu ukuthi yini egqamile kubo encwadini kaJobe futhi impendulo yabo yathi, "Asazi lutho." Akekho obonakala eqiniseka ukuthi ubani owabhala uJobe. Asazi ukuthi uJobe wake wakuqonda konke okwakwenzeka. Wayengenawo nomBhalo, njengoba nathi sinawo.

Umuntu akakwazi ukuyiqonda le akhawunti ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu aqonde okwenzekayo phakathi kukaNkulunkulu noSathane nempi phakathi kwamabutho noma abalandeli bokulunga nalabo ababi. USathane uyisitha esinqotshiwe ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu, kepha ungasho ukuthi okwamanje akaboshiwe. Kunempi esalokhu iqhubeka kuleli zwe phezu kwemiphefumulo yabantu. UNkulunkulu usinikeze incwadi kaJobe neminye imiBhalo eminingi ukusisiza ukuba siqonde.

Okokuqala, njengoba ngishilo phambilini, bonke ububi, ubuhlungu, ukugula kanye nezinhlekelele kubangelwa ukungena kwesono emhlabeni. UNkulunkulu akenzi noma adale ububi, kepha angavumela izinhlekelele ukuthi zisivivinye. Akukho okuza ezimpilweni zethu ngaphandle kwemvume Yakhe, ngisho nokulungiswa noma ukuvumela ukuthi sihlupheke ngemiphumela yesono esisenzile. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi siqine.

UNkulunkulu akanqumi ngokuthanda kwakhe ukungasithandi. Uthando uqobo lwaKhe uqobo, kepha futhi ungcwele futhi ulungile. Ake sibheke isimo. Esahlukweni 1: 6, “amadodana kaNkulunkulu” azethula kuNkulunkulu futhi uSathane weza phakathi kwabo. “Amadodana kaNkulunkulu” mhlawumbe yizingelosi, mhlawumbe inkampani exubile yalabo abalandela uNkulunkulu nalabo abalandela uSathane. USathane wayevela ekuzuleni emhlabeni. Lokhu kungenza ngicabange ngo-5 Peter 8: 1 othi, “Isitha senu uSathane uzulazula njengengonyama ebhongayo, efuna ongamshwabadela.” UNkulunkulu ukhomba “inceku yakhe uJobe,” futhi nanti iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu. Uthi uJobe uyinceku yaKhe elungile, futhi akanasici, uqotho, wesaba uNkulunkulu futhi wafulathela okubi. Qaphela ukuthi akukho lapho uNkulunkulu asola khona uJobe nganoma yisiphi isono. USathane ngokuyisisekelo uthi okuwukuphela kwesizathu esenza uJobe alandele uNkulunkulu yingoba uNkulunkulu umbusisile nokuthi uma uNkulunkulu esusa lezo zibusiso uJobe angaqalekisa uNkulunkulu. Lapha kukhona ukungqubuzana. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu uvumela uSathane ukuba ahluphe uJobe ukuze avivinye uthando nokuthembeka kwakhe Kuye. Funda isahluko 21: 22 & 2. UJobe waluphumelela lolu vivinyo. Ithi, “Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga, futhi akasoli uNkulunkulu.” Esahlukweni 2 uSathane uphinde aphonsele uNkulunkulu inselelo yokuthi avivinye uJobe. Futhi uNkulunkulu uvumela uSathane ukuba ahluphe uJobe. UJobe uphendula ngo-10: 2, "sizokwamukela okuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu hhayi ubunzima." Ithi ku-10: XNUMX, "Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akazange one ngomlomo wakhe."

Qaphela ukuthi uSathane wayengeke enze lutho ngaphandle kwemvume kaNkulunkulu, futhi ubeka imikhawulo. ITestamente Elisha likukhombisa lokhu kuLuka 22:31 elithi, "Simoni, uSathane ubefisa ukuba nawe." I-NASB ikubeka ngale ndlela ithi, uSathane "wayefuna imvume yokukuhluza njengokolweni." Funda abase-Efesu 6: 11 & 12. Lisitshela ukuthi, “Gqokani zonke izikhali noma uNkulunkulu” futhi “nimelane namaqhinga kaSathane. Ngoba umzabalazo wethu awubambene nenyama negazi, kodwa sibambene nababusi, neziphathimandla, namandla ombuso walomhlaba omnyama kanye namandla omoya wobubi asezulwini. ” Cacisa. Kukho konke lokhu uJobe wayengonanga. Sisempini.

Manje buyela ku-I Peter 5: 8 ufunde. Ichaza ngokuyisisekelo incwadi kaJobe. Ithi, “kepha melanani naye (uSathane), niqinile ekukholweni kwenu, nazi ukuthi lokho okuhlangenwe nakho kokuhlupheka kufezwa ngabafowenu abasezweni. Emva kokuhlupheka isikhashana, uNkulunkulu womusa wonke, owanibizela enkazimulweni yaKhe yaphakade kuKristu, uzakuphelelisa, akuqinise, akuqinise. ” Lesi yisizathu esinamandla sokuhlupheka, kanye neqiniso lokuthi ukuhlupheka kuyingxenye yanoma iyiphi impi. Ukube asikaze sizame nje besizoba yizingane ezondliwe ngepuni futhi singalokothi sivuthwe. Ekuvivinyweni siba namandla futhi sibona ulwazi lwethu ngoNkulunkulu lukhula, sibona ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani ngezindlela ezintsha futhi ubudlelwane bethu naye buyaqina.

KumaRoma 1:17 kuthi, "abalungileyo bazophila ngokukholwa." AmaHeberu 11: 6 athi, "ngaphandle kokholo akwenzeki ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu." Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5: 7 ithi, "Sihamba ngokukholwa, hhayi ngokubona." Kungenzeka singakuqondi lokhu, kodwa kuyiqiniso. Kufanele sethembe uNkulunkulu kukho konke lokhu, kunoma ikuphi ukuhlupheka akuvumelayo.

Selokhu kwawa uSathane (Funda uHezekeli 28: 11-19; u-Isaya 14: 12-14; Isambulo 12:10.) Le mpi ibikhona futhi uSathane ufisa ukususa sonke kuNkulunkulu. USathane waze wazama ukulinga uJesu ukuthi angamethembi uYise (Mathewu 4: 1-11). Kwaqala ngo-Eva ensimini. Qaphela, uSathane wamlinga ngokumenza abuze isimilo sikaNkulunkulu, uthando Lwakhe nokumkhathalela. USathane waveza ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayemgcinele okuthile okuhle futhi wayengenalo uthando futhi engenabulungisa. USathane uhlala ezama ukuthatha umbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi enze abantu Bakhe bamelane Naye.

Kumele sikubone ukuhlupheka kukaJobe nokwethu ngokubheka le “mpi” lapho uSathane azama khona njalo ukusilinga ukuthi sishintshe izinhlangothi futhi sehlukanise noNkulunkulu. Khumbula uNkulunkulu wathi uJobe wayelungile futhi engenacala. Akunasibonakaliso secala lesono esenziwe kuJobe kuze kube manje kule akhawunti. UNkulunkulu akazange akuvumele lokhu kuhlupheka ngenxa yanoma yini uJobe ayenzile. Wayengamehluleli, emthukuthelele futhi engayekile ukumthanda.

Manje abangane bakaJobe, okusobala ukuthi bakholelwa ukuthi ukuhlupheka kungenxa yesono, faka isithombe. Ngingabheka kuphela kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ngabo, futhi ngithi qaphela ukuthi ungahluleli abanye, njengoba bahlulela uJobe. UNkulunkulu wabasola. UJobe 42: 7 & 8 uthi, "Ngemuva kokuthi uJehova ekhulume lezi zinto kuJobe, wathi ku-Elifazi umThemani, 'Ngikuthukuthelele wena nabangane bakho ababili, ngoba anikhulumanga ngami okulungile njengenceku yami uJobe . Ngakho-ke thathani izinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa, niye encekwini yami uJobe, nizinikelele ngazo. Inceku yami uJobe izokukhulekela, futhi ngizowamukela umthandazo wakhe futhi angizukukwenza ngokuvumelana nobuwula bakho. Awukhulumanga okuhle ngami njengenceku yami uJobe. '”UNkulunkulu wabathukuthelela ngalokho abakwenzile, wathi mabanikele umhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu. Qaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabenza baya kuJobe futhi bacela uJobe ukuba abathandazele, ngoba babengakhulumanga iqiniso ngaYe njengoJobe.

Kuzo zonke izingxoxo zabo (3: 1-31: 40), uNkulunkulu wayethule. Ubuze ngoNkulunkulu athule kuwe. Alisho ngempela ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu athule kangaka. Kwesinye isikhathi kungenzeka ukuthi ulindele nje ukuthi simethembe, sihambe ngokukholwa, noma sifune impendulo, mhlawumbe emBhalweni, noma athule nje acabange ngezinto.

Ake sibheke emuva ukubona ukuthi kwenzekani ngoJobe. UJobe ubelokhu elwa nokugxekwa ngabangane bakhe "ababizwa kanjalo" abazimisele ukufakazela ukuthi ubunzima buvela esonweni (Jobe 4: 7 & 8). Siyazi ukuthi ezahlukweni zokugcina uNkulunkulu ukhuza uJobe. Kungani? Yini embi uJobe ayenzayo? Kungani uNkulunkulu enza lokhu? Kubonakala sengathi ukholo lukaJobe lwalungavivinywanga. Manje sekuvivinywe kanzima, mhlawumbe ngaphezu kwalokho iningi lethu eliyoke libe nakho. Ngikholwa ukuthi ingxenye yalokhu kuhlolwa ukulahlwa “ngabangane” bakhe. Kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​nokubona kwami, ngicabanga ukuthi ukwahlulelwa nokulahlwa kwakha amanye amakholwa kuyisilingo esikhulu nokudikibala. Khumbula izwi likaNkulunkulu lithi ungangahluleli (KwabaseRoma 14:10). Kunalokho isifundisa ukuthi “sikhuthazane” (Hebheru 3:13).

Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu ezokwahlulela isono sethu futhi kungenye yezizathu zokuhlupheka, akusona isizathu ngaso sonke isikhathi, njengoba "abangane" basho. Ukubona isono esisobala kungenye into, sicabanga ukuthi kungenye into. Inhloso ukubuyisela, hhayi ukudiliza nokulahla. UJobe uthukuthelela uNkulunkulu nokuthula Kwakhe futhi uqala ukubuza uNkulunkulu futhi afune izimpendulo. Uqala ukuthethelela ulaka lwakhe.

Esahlukweni 27: 6 UJobe uthi, "Ngizogcina ukulunga kwami." Kamuva uNkulunkulu uthi uJobe wakwenza lokhu ngokumangalela uNkulunkulu (Jobe 40: 8). Esahlukweni 29 uJobe uyangabaza, ebhekisa ekubusisweni nguNkulunkulu esikhathini esedlule futhi wathi uNkulunkulu akasenaye. Kucishe kufane nokuthi uthi uNkulunkulu wayemthanda ngaphambili. Khumbula uMathewu 28: 20 uthi lokhu akulona iqiniso ngoba uNkulunkulu unikeza lesi sithembiso, "Futhi nginawe njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni kweminyaka." AmaHeberu 13: 5 athi, "Angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle." UNkulunkulu akazange amshiye uJobe futhi ekugcineni wakhuluma naye njengoba enza ku-Adamu no-Eva.

Sidinga ukufunda ukuqhubeka nokuhamba ngokukholwa - hhayi ngokubona (noma imizwa) kanye nokuthembela ezithembisweni Zakhe, noma singakwazi “ukuzwa” ubukhona Bakhe futhi singakayitholi impendulo yemikhuleko yethu. KuJobe 30:20 uJobe uthi, "O Nkulunkulu, awungiphenduli." Manje useqala ukukhononda. Esahlukweni 31 uJobe usola uNkulunkulu ngokungamlaleli futhi ethi uzophikisana futhi avikele ukulunga kwakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukube uNkulunkulu ubengalalela (Jobe 31:35). Funda uJobe 31: 6. Esahlukweni 23: 1-5 UJobe naye ukhalaza kuNkulunkulu, ngoba akaphenduli. UNkulunkulu uthule - uthi uNkulunkulu akamniki isizathu salokhu Akwenzile. UNkulunkulu akudingeki aphendule kuJobe noma kithi. Ngempela asikwazi ukufuna noma yini kuNkulunkulu. Bona ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthini kuJobe lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma. UJobe 38: 1 uthi, "Ngubani lo okhuluma engenalwazi?" UJobe 40: 2 (NASB) uthi, "Wii umuntu othola amaphutha uphikisana noSomandla?" KuJobe 40: 1 & 2 (NIV) uNkulunkulu uthi uJobe "uyaphikisana," "uyamlungisa" futhi "umbeka icala". UNkulunkulu uguqula lokho uJobe akushoyo, ngokufuna ukuthi uJobe aphendule imibuzo Yakhe. Ivesi 3 lithi, “Ngizokubuza, wena ungiphendule.” Esahlukweni 40: 8 uNkulunkulu uthi, “Ungabujivaza ubulungiswa bami? Ungangilahla ukuze ngizithethelele? ” Ngubani ofuna ini futhi kubani?

Ngemuva kwalokho uNkulunkulu uphinde aphikise uJobe ngamandla aKhe njengoMdali wakhe, okungekho mpendulo kuwo. UNkulunkulu uthi, “NginguNkulunkulu, nginguMdali, ungadeleli ukuthi ngingubani. Ungangabazi uthando lwami, ukulunga Kwami, ngoba NGINGUNKULUNKULU, uMdali. ”
UNkulunkulu akashongo ukuthi uJobe wajeziswa ngesono esedlule kepha uthi, "Ungangibuzi, ngoba ngingedwa uNkulunkulu." Asikho esimeni sokufuna okufunwa uNkulunkulu. Uyena yedwa onguMbusi. Khumbula uNkulunkulu ufuna simkholwe. Kukholwa okumthokozisayo. Lapho uNkulunkulu esitshela ukuthi ulungile futhi unothando, ufuna simkholwe. Impendulo kaNkulunkulu yashiya uJobe engenampendulo noma usizo ngaphandle kokuthi aphenduke akhuleke.

KuJobe 42: 3 uJobe ucashunwe ethi, "Impela ngakhuluma ngezinto engingaziqondi, izinto ezimangazayo kimi." KuJobe 40: 4 (NIV) uJobe uthi, "Angifanele." I-NASB ithi, “Angilutho.” KuJobe 40: 5 uJobe uthi, "Anginampendulo," nakuJobe 42: 5 uthi, "Izindlebe zami bezizwile ngawe, kepha manje amehlo ami akubonile." Ube esethi, “Ngiyazidelela futhi ngiphenduka othulini nasemlotheni.” Manje usenakho ukuqonda okukhulu kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu, okulungile.

UNkulunkulu uhlala ezimisele ukuthethelela iziphambeko zethu. Sonke siyahluleka futhi asimethembi uNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi. Cabanga ngabantu abathile emBhalweni abahluleke ngesikhathi esithile ekuhambeni kwabo noNkulunkulu, njengoMose, u-Abrahama, u-Eliya noma uJona noma abangaqondi kahle ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzani njengoNawomi owaba nomunyu futhi kuthiwani ngoPetru, owaphika uKristu. Ingabe uNkulunkulu wayeka ukubathanda? Cha! Wayebekezela, ebekezela futhi enesihe futhi exolela.

Isiyalo

Kuliqiniso ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono, futhi njengobaba bethu abangabantu uzosiyala futhi asiqondise uma siqhubeka sona. Angasebenzisa izimo ukwahlulela thina, kepha inhloso yakhe, njengomzali, nangenxa yothando lwaKhe ngathi, ukusibuyisela ebudlelwaneni Naye. Uyabekezela futhi uyabekezela futhi unesihe futhi ukulungele ukuthethelela. Njengobaba ongumuntu Ufuna ukuba "sikhule" futhi sibe ngabalungileyo futhi abavuthiwe. Ukube Akasiyalanga besizokonakala, zingane ezingavuthiwe.

Angase futhi asivumele sihlupheke ngemiphumela yesono sethu, kepha akasiphiki noma ayeke ukusithanda. Uma siphendula kahle futhi sivuma izono zethu futhi simcele ukuba asisize sishintshe siyoba njengoBaba wethu. AmaHeberu 12: 5 athi, "Ndodana yami, ungadeleli (udelele) isiyalo seNkosi futhi ungapheli amandla lapho ekukhuza, ngoba iNkosi iyala labo ebathandayo, futhi ijezisa wonke umuntu eyamukela njengendodana." Evesini lesi-7 kuthi, “ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya lowo amthandayo. Ngoba iyiphi indodana engayalwa ”futhi ivesi 9 lithi,“ Ngaphezu kwalokho sonke sinobaba abangabantu abasijezisa futhi sabahlonipha ngakho. Kakhulu kangakanani thina sizithobe kuYise wemimoya yethu, siphile. ” Ivesi 10 lithi, "uNkulunkulu usiyala ukuze kuzuze thina ukuze sihlanganyele ebungcweleni baKhe."

"Asikho isiyalo esibukeka sijabulisa ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa sibuhlungu, kepha sivezela isivuno sokulunga kanye nokuthula kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiso."

UNkulunkulu usiyala ukuba asenze siqine. Nakuba uJobe engakaze amphike uNkulunkulu, akazange amethembe futhi amdekise uNkulunkulu futhi athi uNkulunkulu wayengenabulungisa, kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu emkhuza, waphenduka futhi wavuma iphutha lakhe futhi uNkulunkulu wambuyisela. UJobe waphendula kahle. Abanye abafana noDavid noPetru bahluleka futhi kodwa uNkulunkulu wababuyisela futhi.

U-Isaya 55: 7 uthi, "Omubi makashiye indlela yakhe nomuntu ongalungile imicabango yakhe, abuyele eNkosini, ngoba Uzoba nesihe kuye futhi uzokuthethelela ngokukhululekile (i-NIV isho ngokukhululeka)."

Uma kwenzeka uwa noma uhluleka, vele usebenzise i-1 John 1: 9 futhi uvume isono sakho njengoDavide noPetru futhi njengoJobe. Uyothethelela, uthembisa. Obaba babantu balungisa izingane zabo kodwa bangenza amaphutha. UNkulunkulu akwenzi. Uyazi konke. Uphelele. Ulungile futhi ulungile futhi uyakuthanda.

Kungani UNkulunkulu Ethula

Uphakamise umbuzo wokuthi kungani uNkulunkulu athule uma uthandaza. UNkulunkulu wathula lapho evivinya uJobe futhi. Akunasizathu esinikeziwe, kepha singanikeza kuphela ukuqagela. Mhlawumbe Wayevele adinge yonke into ukuze adlale ukuze abonise uSathane iqiniso noma mhlawumbe umsebenzi Wakhe enhliziyweni kaJobe wawungakaqedwa. Mhlawumbe nathi asikakulungeli ukuthola impendulo. UNkulunkulu Nguye kuphela Owaziyo, kufanele simethembe nje.

AmaHubo 66:18 anikeza enye impendulo, endimeni ekhuluma ngomkhuleko, ithi, “Uma ngibheka ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ngeke ingizwe.” UJobe wayekwenza lokhu. Wayeka ukwethemba futhi waqala ukubuza imibuzo. Lokhu kungaba njalo nakithi.
Kungaba nezinye izizathu futhi. Kungenzeka ukuthi uzama ukukwenza uthembele, uhambe ngokholo, hhayi ngokubona, ngokuhlangenwe nakho noma ngemizwa. Ukuthula kwakhe kusiphoqa ukuthi simethembe futhi simfune. Kusiphoqa nokuba siphikelele emthandazweni. Bese-ke sifunda ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso osinikeza izimpendulo zethu, futhi asifundise ukubonga nokwazisa konke asenzela khona. Kusifundisa ukuthi Ungumthombo wazo zonke izibusiso. Khumbula uJakobe 1:17, “Zonke izipho ezinhle neziphelele zivela phezulu, zehla zivela kuYise wezinkanyiso zasezulwini, ongaguquki njengethunzi eligudlukayo. ”NjengoJobe kungenzeka singazi ukuthi kungani. Kungenzeka, njengoJobe, siqonde nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani, ukuthi unguMdali wethu, hhayi thina. Akasona inceku yethu esingafika kuye sifune izidingo zethu futhi sifune ukuhlangatshezwa. Akudingeki nokuthi asinikeze izizathu zezenzo Zakhe, noma enza kaningi. Kufanele simhloniphe futhi simkhonze, ngoba unguNkulunkulu.

UNkulunkulu ufuna size kuye, ngokukhululeka nangesibindi kodwa ngenhlonipho nangokuzithoba. Uyabona futhi ezwe zonke izidingo nezicelo ngaphambi kokucela, ngakho abantu bayabuza, "Kungani ubuza, kungani uthandaza?" Ngicabanga ukuthi siyacela futhi sithandaze ukuze sibone ukuthi ukhona futhi Ungokoqobo futhi uyezwa futhi asiphendule ngoba uyasithanda. Muhle kakhulu. Njengoba amaRoma 8:28 esho, Uhlala enza okuhle kakhulu kithi.

Esinye isizathu sokuthi singatholi isicelo sethu ukuthi asiceli ukuthi intando yaKhe yenziwe, noma asiceli ngokwentando Yakhe ebhaliwe njengoba ivezwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu. U-I Johane 5:14 uthi, "Futhi uma sicela noma yini ngokwentando yaKhe siyazi ukuthi uyasizwa… siyazi ukuthi sinesicelo esisicelile kuye." Khumbula uJesu wathandaza, "hhayi intando yami kodwa eyakho mayenziwe." Bheka noMathewu 6:10, uMthandazo WeNkosi. Isifundisa ukuthi sithandaze sithi, "Intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini."
Bheka uJakobe 4: 2 ukuthola ezinye izizathu zomthandazo ongaphenduliwe. Ithi, "Awunakho ngoba awuceli." Asazihluphi ngokuthandaza futhi sibuze. Iqhubeka evesini lesithathu, "Ubuza futhi ungamukeli ngoba ubuza ngezisusa ezingalungile (i-KJV ithi buza kabi) ukuze ukwazi ukukudla ezinkanukweni zakho." Lokhu kusho ukuthi sinobugovu. Omunye uthe sisebenzisa uNkulunkulu njengomshini wethu wokuthengisa.

Mhlawumbe kufanele ufunde isihloko somkhuleko kusuka emiBhalweni wedwa, hhayi incwadi ethile noma uchungechunge lwemibono yabantu ngomkhuleko. Asikwazi ukuthola noma ukufuna noma yini kuNkulunkulu. Siphila emhlabeni obeka isiqu sakho kuqala futhi sithatha uNkulunkulu njengoba senza abanye abantu, sifuna ukuthi basibeke kuqala futhi basinike esikufunayo. Sifuna uNkulunkulu asikhonze. UNkulunkulu ufuna size kuye nezicelo, hhayi okufunwayo.

AbaseFilipi 4: 6 bathi, "Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa kanye nokubonga." I Peter 5: 6 ithi, "Ngakho-ke, zithobeni ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esinamandla, ukuze aniphakamise ngesikhathi esifanele." UMika 6: 8 uthi, “Ukubonisile, O muntu, okuhle. Futhi yini uJehova ayifunayo kuwe? Ukwenza ukulunga nokuthanda umusa nokuhamba ngokuthobekile noNkulunkulu wakho. ”

Isiphetho

Kuningi esingakufunda kuJobe. Impendulo yokuqala kaJobe ekuhlolweni kwaba ngeyokukholwa (Jobe 1:21). Umbhalo uthi kufanele "sihambe ngokukholwa hhayi ngokubona" ​​(2 KwabaseKorinte 5: 7). Thembela ubulungiswa, ukulunga nothando lukaNkulunkulu. Uma sibuza uNkulunkulu, sizibeka ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu, sizenza uNkulunkulu. Sizenza abahluleli boMahluleli womhlaba wonke. Sonke sinemibuzo kepha sidinga ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu futhi lapho sehluleka njengoba uJobe enza kamuva kwakudingeka siphenduke okusho ukuthi "sishintshe izingqondo zethu" njengoJobe, sithole umbono omusha wokuthi Ungubani uNkulunkulu - uMdali uSomandla, futhi umkhulekele njengoJobe. Sidinga ukubona ukuthi akulungile ukwahlulela uNkulunkulu. “Isimo” sikaNkulunkulu asikaze sibe sengozini. Awukwazi ukunquma ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani noma yini okufanele ayenze. Awukwazi neze ukuguqula uNkulunkulu.

UJames 1: 23 & 24 uthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lifana nesibuko. Ithi, "Noma ngubani olalela izwi kodwa angenzi elikushoyo kufana nomuntu obuka ubuso bakhe esibukweni bese, ngemuva kokuzibuka, ahambe futhi akhohlwe masinyane ukuthi ubukeka kanjani." Uthe uNkulunkulu wayeka ukuthanda uJobe nawe. Kusobala ukuthi Akazange futhi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lithi uthando lwaKhe luhlala njalo futhi alwehluleki. Kodwa-ke, ubufana ncamashi noJobe ngokuthi 'wenze mnyama iseluleko Sakhe.' Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi “umhlazisile” Yena, ukuhlakanipha Kwakhe, injongo yakhe, ubulungiswa, izahlulelo nothando Lwakhe. Wena, njengoJobe, 'usola' uNkulunkulu.

Zibheke kahle esibukweni “sikaJobe.” Ingabe nguwe “onecala” njengoJobe? NjengakuJobe, uNkulunkulu uhlala ekulungele ukuthethelela uma sivuma amaphutha ethu (I John 1: 9). Uyazi ukuthi singabantu. Ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu kumayelana nokukholwa. Unkulunkulu omcabangayo akayona into engokoqobo, kuphela uNkulunkulu osemBhalweni ongokoqobo.

Khumbula ekuqaleni kwendaba, uSathane wavela neqembu elikhulu lezingelosi. IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi izingelosi zifunde ngoNkulunkulu kithi (kwabase-Efesu 3: 10 & 11). Khumbula futhi, ukuthi kukhona ukungqubuzana okukhulu okwenzekayo.
Uma “sidicilela phansi uNkulunkulu,” lapho sithi uNkulunkulu akanabulungiswa futhi akanabulungisa futhi akanaluthando, sisuke simhlazisa phambi kwazo zonke izingelosi. Sibiza uNkulunkulu ngomqambimanga. Khumbula uSathane, ensimini yase-Edene wadicilela phansi uNkulunkulu ku-Eva, okusho ukuthi wayengenabulungisa futhi engenabulungisa futhi engenalo uthando. Ekugcineni uJobe naye wenza okufanayo nathi. Sihlazisa uNkulunkulu phambi komhlaba naphambi kwezingelosi. Kunalokho kumele simdumise. Sisohlangothini lukabani? Ukuzikhethela kungokwethu kuphela.

UJobe wenza ukukhetha kwakhe, waphenduka, okungukuthi, washintsha umqondo wakhe ngokuthi uNkulunkulu wayengubani, waba nokuqonda okukhulu ngoNkulunkulu nokuthi wayehlobene nobani noNkulunkulu. Uthe esahlukweni 42, amavesi 3 no-5: “Impela ngakhuluma ngezinto ebengingaziqondi, izinto ezimangalisa kakhulu ukuba ngizazi… kepha manje amehlo ami akubonile. Ngakho-ke ngiyazidelela futhi ngiphenduka othulini nasemlotheni. ” UJobe wabona ukuthi “wayephikisana” noMninimandla onke futhi lokho kwakungeyona indawo yakhe.

Bheka ekugcineni kwendaba. UNkulunkulu wamukela ukuvuma kwakhe izono wambuyisela futhi wambusisa kabili. UJobe 42: 10 & 12 uthi, "INkosi yamphinda futhi yamuphumelelisa futhi yamupha okuphindwe kabili kunalokho ayenakho phambilini… INkosi yabusisa ingxenye yokugcina yempilo kaJobe ukwedlula eyokuqala."

Uma sifuna uNkulunkulu futhi silwa futhi "sicabanga ngaphandle kolwazi," nathi kufanele sicele uNkulunkulu ukuba asithethelele futhi "sihambe ngokuthobekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu" (uMika 6: 8). Lokhu kuqala ngokubona kwethu ukuthi Unobudlelwano nobani, futhi sikholwe iqiniso njengoba kwenza uJobe. Ikhorasi ethandwayo esekelwe kumaRoma 8:28 ithi, "Zonke izinto uzenzela thina." Umbhalo uthi ukuhlupheka kunenhloso yobuNkulunkulu futhi uma kungukusijezisa, kuzuzisa thina. Mina John 1: 7 ngithi "hamba ekukhanyeni," okuyiZwi laKhe elembuliwe, iZwi likaNkulunkulu.

Iyini Injongo Yokuphila?

I-Concordance kaCruden ichaza impilo ngokuthi “ukuphila okunezinto eziphilayo njengoba kuhlukaniswa nento efile.” Sonke siyazi lapho okuthile kuphila ngobufakazi obukhonjisiwe. Siyazi ukuthi umuntu noma isilwane siyayeka ukuphila lapho siyeka ukuphefumula, ukuxhumana nokusebenza. Ngokufanayo, lapho isitshalo sifa, siyabuna futhi somile.

Ukuphila kuyingxenye yendalo kaNkulunkulu. KwabaseKolose 1:15 & 16 kusitshela ukuthi sadalwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu. UGenesise 1:1 uthi, “Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala amazulu nomhlaba,” kanti kuGenesise 1:26 uthi, “Masenze umuntu ngomfanekiso wethu .” Leli gama lesiHebheru likaNkulunkulu, “ u-Elohim,” liningi futhi likhuluma ngabo bonke abantu abathathu boZiqu-zintathu, okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu noma uNkulunkulu onguZiqu-zintathu wadala impilo yokuqala yomuntu kanye nomhlaba wonke.

Kukhulunywa ngoJesu ngokukhethekile kumaHeberu 1: 1-3. Ithi uNkulunkulu "ukhulume nathi ngeNdodana yakhe… Ngaye futhi wenza indawo yonke." Bheka futhi uJohn 1: 1-3 nabaseKolose 1: 15 & 16 lapho kukhulunywa khona ngqo ngoJesu Kristu futhi kuthi, "zonke izinto zadalwa Nguye." UJohn 1: 1-3 uthi, "Wenza konke okwenziwayo, futhi ngaphandle kwaKhe akukho okwenziwayo okwenziwayo." KuJobe 33: 4, uJobe uthi, "UMoya kaNkulunkulu wangenza, ukuphefumula kukaSomandla kunginika impilo." Siyazi ngala mavesi ukuthi uBaba, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele, besebenza ndawonye, ​​basidala.

Le mpilo ivela ngqo kuNkulunkulu. UGenesise 2: 7 uthi, "UNkulunkulu wambumba umuntu ngothuli lomhlabathi futhi waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila futhi umuntu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo." Lokhu bekuhlukile kukho konke akudalile. Singabantu abaphilayo ngokuphefumula kukaNkulunkulu kithina. Akukho kuphila ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu.

Ngisho nolwazi lwethu olukhulu, kodwa olulinganiselwe, asikwazi ukuqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu angakwenza kanjani lokhu, futhi mhlawumbe ngeke sithande, kodwa kunzima nakakhulu ukukholelwa ukuthi indalo yethu eyinkimbinkimbi futhi ephelele yayingumphumela wechungechunge lwezingozi ezihamba phambili.

Ingabe-ke awuwenzi umbuzo othi, “Iyini injongo yokuphila?” Ngithanda futhi ukubhekisa kulokhu njengesizathu sethu noma injongo yethu yokuphila! Kungani uNkulunkulu adala impilo yomuntu? AbaseKolose 1: 15 & 16, ecashunwe ekuqaleni, kusinika isizathu sempilo yethu. Iqhubeka ithi "sidalelwe yena." KwabaseRoma 11:36 kuthi, “Ngoba konke kuvela kuYe, futhi kuya ngaYe futhi kungokwakhe, kuye makube ludumo kuze kube phakade. Amen. ” Sidalelwe yena, ngentokozo Yakhe.

Ekhuluma ngoNkulunkulu, iSambulo 4:11 sithi, “Ufanele, Nkosi, ukwamukela inkazimulo nodumo namandla, ngokuba nguwena owadala zonke izinto, futhi kwaba yintando yakho ukuthi zikhona futhi zadalwa.” UBaba uphinde wathi Unikele ngeNdodana yakhe, uJesu, ukubusa nokuphakama kwezinto zonke. Isambulo 5: 12-14 sithi "Unamandla." AmaHeberu 2: 5-8 (ecaphuna iHubo 8: 4-6) uthi uNkulunkulu ubeke "konke phansi kwezinyawo zakhe." Ivesi 9 lithi, "Ekubekeni konke ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, uNkulunkulu akashiyanga lutho olungaphansi kwakhe." UJesu akagcini ngokuba nguMdali wethu futhi ngenxa yalokho ufanelwe ukubusa, futhi ufanelwe udumo namandla kepha ngoba wasifela uNkulunkulu umphakamisile ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi futhi abuse phezu kwayo yonke indalo (kubandakanya nezwe lakhe).

UZakariya 6:13 uthi, "Uzokwembathiswa ubukhosi, ahlale phansi abuse esihlalweni sakhe." Funda futhi u-Isaya 53. UJohn 17: 2 uthi, "Umnike igunya phezu kwaso sonke isintu." NjengoNkulunkulu noMdali ufanelwe udumo, ukudunyiswa nokubongwa. Funda iSambulo 4:11 no-5: 12 & 13. UMathewu 6: 9 uthi, “Baba wethu osezulwini, ungcweliswe igama lakho.” Ufanelwe ukuba simsebenzele futhi simhloniphe. UNkulunkulu wakhuza uJobe ngoba wayengamhloniphi. Wakwenza ngokukhombisa ubukhulu bendalo Yakhe, uJobe waphendula wathi, "Manje amehlo ami akubonile futhi ngiphenduka othulini nasemlotheni."

AbaseRoma 1:21 basikhombisa indlela engafanele, ngendlela abangalungile abaziphatha ngayo, ngaleyo ndlela bembula okulindeleke kithina. Ithi, "yize babemazi uNkulunkulu abamhloniphanga njengoNkulunkulu, noma babonge." UmShumayeli 12:14 uthi, "isiphetho, lapho konke sekuzwakele yilesi: Mesabe uNkulunkulu ugcine imiyalo yaKhe: ngoba lokhu kusebenza kuwo wonke umuntu." UDuteronomi 6: 5 uthi (futhi lokhu kuphindaphindiwe emiBhalweni kaninginingi), “Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho.”

Ngingachaza injongo yokuphila (nenjongo yethu empilweni), njengokugcwalisa la mavesi. Lokhu kufeza intando yaKhe ngathi. UMika 6: 8 ukufingqa ngale ndlela, “Ukutshengisile, ndoda, ukuthi yini enhle. Futhi yini iNkosi ekufunayo kuwe? Ukwenza ubulungiswa, ukuthanda umusa nokuhamba ngokuthobeka noNkulunkulu wakho. ”

Amanye amavesi asho lokhu ngezindlela ezihluke kancane njengakuMathewu 6:33, “funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe, khona konke lokhu niyakwenezelwa nina,” noma uMathewu 11: 28-30, “Bekani ijoka lami phezu nifunde kimi, ngoba ngimnene futhi ngithobekile ngenhliziyo, nizotholela imiphefumulo yenu ukuphumula. ” Ivesi 30 (NASB) lithi, "Ngoba ijoka lami lilula nomthwalo wami ulula." UDuteronomi 10: 12 & 13 uthi, “Manje-ke, Israyeli, yini uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayicela kuwe ngaphandle kokuba wesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ngokumlalela, umthande, ukhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, ugcine imiyalo kaJehova nezinqumo zakhe engikunika zona namuhla kube kuhle kuwe. ”

Okuletha engqondweni iphuzu lokuthi uNkulunkulu akayena ongenazwela noma ongqondongqondo noma ozithobayo; ngoba yize ekufanele ukuba futhi futhi enguMbusi Ophakeme, Akazenzeli lokho Akwenzela Yena yedwa. Uluthando futhi konke akwenzayo kwenziwa wuthando futhi kungokwenzuzo yethu, lokho yize kuyilungelo lakhe ukubusa, uNkulunkulu akanabugovu. Akabusi ngoba nje Angakwazi. Konke okwenziwa uNkulunkulu kunothando ngaphakathi.

Okubaluleke kakhulu, yize enguMbusi wethu akusho ukuthi Usidalele ukuthi asibuse kepha lokho ekushoyo ukuthi uNkulunkulu wasithanda, ukuthi wayejabule ngendalo yakhe futhi ekujabulela. AmaHubo 149: 4 & 5 athi, "INkosi iyajabula ngabantu Bayo ... abangcwele mabajabule ngalolu dumo futhi bacule ngentokozo." UJeremiya 31: 3 uthi, "Ngikuthandile ngothando olungunaphakade." UZefaniya 3:17 uthi, “INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho inawe, Unamandla okusindisa, Uyakuthokozela ngawe, Akuthulise ngothando Lwakhe; Uyojabula ngawe ngokucula. ”

Izaga 8: 30 & 31 zithi, "Bengiyintokozo yakhe nsuku zonke ... Ngijabula emhlabeni, umhlaba waKhe futhi ngijabulela amadodana abantu." KuJohane 17:13 uJesu emthandazweni Wakhe ngathi, "Ngisesemhlabeni ukuze babe nenjabulo egcwele kubo." UJohn 3: 16 uthi, "Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa" ngenxa yethu. UNkulunkulu wayemthanda u-Adamu, indalo yaKhe, ngakho-ke wamenza waba ngumbusi phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba waKhe, phezu kwakho konke okudaliweyo kwakhe futhi wambeka ensimini Yakhe enhle.

Ngikholwa ukuthi uBaba wayevame ukuhamba no-Adamu ensimini. Siyabona ukuthi Weza wamfuna ensimini ngemuva kokona kuka-Adamu, kepha akamtholanga u-Adam ngoba wayecashile. Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala umuntu ngenhloso yokuhlanganyela. Ku-I John 1: 1-3 kuthi, "ubudlelwano bethu bunoYise neNdodana yaKhe."

KumaHeberu izahluko 1 & 2 uJesu ubizwa ngomfowethu. Uthi, “Anginamahloni okubabiza ngabazalwane.” Evesini 13 Ubabiza "ngabantwana uNkulunkulu anginike bona." KuJohane 15:15 Usibiza ngabangane. Yonke le yimigomo yobudlelwano nobudlelwano. Kwabase-Efesu 1: 5 uNkulunkulu ukhuluma ngokusamukela "njengamadodana akhe ngoJesu Kristu."

Ngakho-ke, noma uJesu egqame futhi ephakeme ngaphezu kwakho konke (KwabaseKolose 1:18), injongo Yakhe ngokusinika “impilo” kwakuwukuhlanganyela nobudlelwano bomndeni. Ngikholwa ukuthi le yinhloso noma injongo yempilo evezwe emBhalweni.

Khumbula uMika 6: 8 uthi kufanele sihambe ngokuzithoba noNkulunkulu wethu; ngokuthobeka ngoba unguNkulunkulu noMdali; kodwa ukuhamba Naye ngoba Uyasithanda. UJoshua 24:15 uthi, “Zikhethele namuhla ukuthi uzokhonza bani.” Ngenxa yaleli vesi, mangisho ukuthi kanye lapho uSathane, ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yamkhonza, kepha uSathane wafuna ukuba nguNkulunkulu, ukuthatha indawo kaNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokuthi "ahambe naye ngokuthobekile." Wazama ukuziphakamisa ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu futhi waxoshwa ezulwini. Kusukela lapho uye wazama ukusihudulela phansi naye njengoba enza ku-Adam no-Eva. Bamlandela bona; base befihla engadini futhi ekugcineni uNkulunkulu wabakhipha eNsimini. (Funda uGenesise 3.)

Sonke, njengo-Adamu, sonile sonke (KwabaseRoma 3:23) futhi savukela uNkulunkulu futhi izono zethu zisihlukanisile noNkulunkulu futhi ubudlelwane bethu nobudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu buyephuka. Funda u-Isaya 59: 2, othi, “ububi bakho bunahlukanisile noNkulunkulu wakho nezono zakho zifihle ubuso bakhe kuwe…” Sife ngokomoya.

Umuntu engimaziyo wachaza injongo yokuphila ngale ndlela: “UNkulunkulu ufuna siphile Naye kuze kube phakade futhi sigcine ubudlelwane (noma sihambe) Naye lapha futhi manje (uMika 6: 8 futhi). AmaKrestu avame ukubhekisa ebudlelwaneni bethu lapha futhi manje noNkulunkulu ngokuthi "ukuhamba" ngoba umBhalo usebenzisa igama elithi "hamba" ukuchaza ukuthi kufanele siphile kanjani. (Ngizochaza kamuva.) Ngoba sonile futhi sehlukanisiwe nalokhu “kuphila,” KUMELE siqale noma siqale ngokwamukela iNdodana yakhe njengoMsindisi wethu uqobo kanye nokubuyiselwa asinike kona ngokusifela esiphambanweni. AmaHubo 80: 3 athi, “Nkulunkulu, sibuyise, ukhanyise ubuso bakho kithi, ukuze sisindiswe.”

KwabaseRoma 6:23 kuthi, "Inkokhelo yesono ukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu." Ngokujabulisayo, uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba wathumela iNdodana yakhe uqobo ukuthi izosifela futhi ikhokhele isijeziso sesono sethu ukuze noma ngubani “okholwa kuye abe nokuphila okuphakade (Johane 3:16). Ukufa kukaJesu kubuyisa ubuhlobo bethu noBaba. UJesu wakhokha lesi sigwebo sokufa, kepha kumele sisamukele (futhi sisamukele) futhi sikholwe kuYe njengoba sibonile kuJohane 3:16 nakuJohane 1:12. KuMathewu 26:28, uJesu wathi, "Lesi yisivumelwano esisha egazini lami, elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono." Funda futhi I Petru 2:24; I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-4 no-Isaya isahluko 53. UJohn 6: 29 uyasitshela, "Lona ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ukholwe kuYe Lowo Amthumile."

Yilapho-ke siba ngabantwana Bakhe (Johane 1:12), bese uMoya Wakhe uhlala kithi (Johane 3:3 noJohane 14:15&16) bese kuba yilapho siba nobudlelwano noNkulunkulu okukhulunywa ngabo ku-1 Johane isahluko 1. UJohane 1:12 usitshela ukuthi uma samukela futhi sikholwe kuJesu siba ngabantwana Bakhe. UJohane 3:3-8 uthi “sizalwe kabusha” emndenini kaNkulunkulu. Yilapho-ke esingahamba khona noNkulunkulu njengoba uMika ethi kufanele sihambe. UJesu wathi kuJohane 10:10 (NIV), “Ngize ukuze babe nokuphila, babe nakho ngokugcwele.” I-NASB ifundeka kanje, “Ngize ukuze babe nokuphila, babe nakho kuchichime.” Lokhu ukuphila nakho konke okujabulisayo uNkulunkulu akuthembisayo. AmaRoma 8:28 aqhubeka nokusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu usithanda kakhulu kangangokuthi “wenza zonke izinto zisebenze ndawonye ukuze kube kuhle kithi.”

Ngakho-ke sihamba kanjani noNkulunkulu? Umbhalo ukhuluma ngokuba munye noYise njengoba uJesu ayemunye noYise (Johane 17: 20-23). Ngicabanga ukuthi uJesu wayeqonde lokhu nakuJohane 15 lapho ekhuluma ngokuhlala kuye. Kukhona noJohn 10 okhuluma ngathi njengezimvu ezimlandelayo, uMalusi.

Njengoba ngishilo, le mpilo ichazwa ngokuthi “ukuhamba” ngokuphindaphindiwe, kodwa ukuze siyiqonde futhi siyenze kumelwe sitadishe iZwi likaNkulunkulu. ImiBhalo isifundisa izinto okumele sizenze ukuze sihambe noNkulunkulu. Iqala ngokufunda nokufunda iZwi likaNkulunkulu. UJoshuwa 1:8 uthi, “Gcina le ncwadi yomthetho njalo emlonyeni wakho; zindla ngayo imini nobusuku, ukuze uqaphele ukwenza konke okulotshwe kuyo, khona-ke uyochuma futhi uphumelele.” IHubo 1:1-3 lithi, “Ubusisiwe ongahambi nababi, ongemi endleleni izoni eziyithathayo, ohlala ngayo kanye nabahleka usulu, kodwa okuthokoza kwakhe kusemthethweni kaJehova, ozindla ngomthetho wakhe imini nobusuku. Lowo muntu unjengomuthi otshalwe ngasemifuleni yamanzi, othela izithelo zawo ngesikhathi sawo, oqabunga lawo lingabuni – noma yini ayenzayo iyachuma.” Uma senza lezi zinto sihamba noNkulunkulu futhi silalela iZwi laKhe.

Ngizokubeka lokhu ngohlobo lohlaka olunamavesi amaningi engithemba ukuthi uzowafunda:

1). UJohn 15: 1-17: Ngicabanga ukuthi uJesu usho ukuhamba Naye ngokuqhubekayo, usuku nosuku kule mpilo, lapho ethi "hlala" noma "hlala" Kimi. “Hlalani kimi, nami ngihlale kini.” Ukuba ngabafundi baKhe kusho ukuthi unguMfundisi wethu. Ngokuya nge-15: 10 kubandakanya ukulalela imiyalo Yakhe. Ngokwevesi 7 kufaka phakathi ukuthi izwi lakhe lihlale kithi. KuJohn 14: 23 kuthi, "UJesu waphendula wathi kuye, 'Uma umuntu engithanda, uzogcina iZwi lami futhi uBaba uzomthanda, futhi sizokuza sihlale naye" Lokhu kuzwakala njengokuhlala kimi.

2). UJohane 17: 3 uthi, “Manje lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade: ukuthi bakwazi wena, owukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso, noJesu Kristu, omthumileyo.” Kamuva uJesu ukhuluma ngobunye nathi njengoba Enzile noYise. KuJohane 10:30 uJesu uthi, "Mina noBaba wami simunye."

3). UJohn 10: 1-18 usifundisa ukuthi thina, izimvu zaKhe, siyamlandela, uMalusi, futhi uyasikhathalela njengoba "singena singena futhi sithole idlelo." Kuvesi 14 uJesu uthi, “NginguMalusi Omuhle; Ngiyazazi izimvu zami nezimvu zami ziyangazi- ”

Ukuhamba noNkulunkulu

Singahamba kanjani nabantu njengoNkulunkulu onguMoya?

6. Singahamba ngeqiniso. Umbhalo uthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso (uJohn 17: 17), lisho iBhayibheli nokuthi liyala kanjani nezindlela elifundisa ngalo, njll. Iqiniso liyasikhulula (Johane 8:32). Ukuhamba ezindleleni zaKhe kusho njengoba kusho uJakobe 1:22, "Yibani ngabenzi beZwi hhayi abezwayo kuphela." Amanye amavesi okufanele afundwe kungaba: AmaHubo 1: 1-3, uJoshuwa 1: 8; IHubo 143: 8; Eksodusi 16: 4; Levitikusi 5:33; Duteronomi 5:33; Hezekeli 37:24; 2 Johane 6; IHubo 119: 11, 3; UJohn 17: 6 & 17; 3 kaJohane 3 & 4; I AmaKhosi 2: 4 & 3: 6; AmaHubo 86: 1, u-Isaya 38: 3 noMalaki 2: 6.
7. Singahamba ekukhanyeni. Ukuhamba ekukhanyeni kusho ukuhamba ekufundisweni kweZwi likaNkulunkulu (Ukukhanya kubuye kubhekise naseZwini uqobo); ukuzibona useZwini likaNkulunkulu, okusho ukuthi, ukubona okwenzayo noma okwenzayo, nokubona ukuthi kuhle noma kubi njengoba ubona izibonelo, ama-akhawunti omlando noma imiyalo nemfundiso ethulwa eZwini. IZwi lingukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu ngakho-ke kumele siphendule (ukuhamba) kulo. Uma senza lokho okufanele sikwenze kudingeka ukuthi sibonge uNkulunkulu ngamandla Akhe futhi sicele uNkulunkulu ukuthi asenze sikwazi ukuqhubeka; kepha uma sehlulekile noma sonile, sidinga ukukuvuma lokho kuNkulunkulu futhi uzosixolela. Le yindlela esihamba ngayo ekukhanyeni (isambulo) seZwi likaNkulunkulu, ngoba umBhalo uphefumulelwe uNkulunkulu, wona kanye amagama kaBaba Wethu Osezulwini (2 Thimothewu 3:16). Funda futhi I John 1: 1-10; IHubo 56:13; IHubo 84:11; Isaya 2: 5; Johane 8:12; IHubo 89:15; KwabaseRoma 6: 4.
8. Singahamba ngoMoya. UMoya oNgcwele awulokothi uphikisane neZwi likaNkulunkulu kodwa kunalokho usebenza ngalo. Ungumbhali wayo (2 Petru 1:21). Ukuthola okuningi ngokuhamba ngoMoya bheka amaRoma 8: 4; KwabaseGalathiya 5:16 nakumaRoma 8: 9. Imiphumela yokuhamba ekukhanyeni nasekuhambeni ngoMoya iyefana kakhulu emBhalweni.
9. Singahamba njengoba uJesu ahamba. Kufanele silandele isibonelo sakhe, silalele imfundiso yakhe futhi sifane Naye (2 KwabaseKorinte 3:18; Luka 6:40). I John 2: 6 ithi, "Lowo othi uhlala kuye kufanele ahambe ngendlela efanayo naleyo ahamba ngayo." Nazi ezinye izindlela ezibalulekile zokuba njengoKristu:
10. Thandanani. UJohane 15:17: “Yilo umyalo wami wokuba nithandane.” AbaseFilipi 2: 1 & 2 bathi, "Ngakho-ke uma uthola isikhuthazo ngokuhlangana noKristu, uma kukhona induduzo othandweni lwakhe, uma kukhona ukuhlanganyela okuvamile eMoyeni, uma kukhona ubumnene nobubele, ngakho-ke yenza injabulo yami iphelele ngokuba nomqondo ofanayo , sinothando olufanayo, sibe munye emoyeni nasengqondweni munye. ” Lokhu kuhambelana nokuhamba ngoMoya ngoba into yokuqala yesithelo sikaMoya uthando (Galathiya 5:22).
11. Lalela uKristu njengoba Wawulalela futhi wazithoba kuBaba (John 14: 15).
12. UJohn 17: 4: Uqedile umsebenzi uNkulunkulu amnike wona, lapho efa esiphambanweni (uJohn 19: 30).
13. Ngenkathi ethandaza esivandeni wathi, “mayenziwe intando yakho (Mathewu 26:42).
14. UJohn 15: 10 uthi, "Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, nizohlala othandweni lwami, njengoba nje nami ngigcine imiyalo kaBaba wami futhi ngihlala othandweni Lwakhe."
15. Lokhu kungiletha kwesinye isigaba sokuhamba, okungukuthi, ukuphila impilo yobuKrestu - okunguMTHANDAZO. Umthandazo uwela kukho kokubili ukulalela, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyala kaningi, futhi alandele isibonelo sikaJesu ngokuthandaza. Sicabanga ngomthandazo njengokucela izinto. It is, kodwa kungaphezulu. Ngithanda ukukuchaza njengokukhuluma nje noma noNkulunkulu noma kunini, noma kuphi. UJesu ukwenze lokhu ngoba kuJohane 17 sibona ukuthi uJesu ngenkathi ehamba ekhuluma nabafundi bakhe “wabheka phezulu” futhi “wabathandazela”. Lesi yisibonelo esiphelele sokuthi "thandaza ngokungaphezi" (I Thesalonika 5: 17), ucela izicelo zikaNkulunkulu futhi ukhulume noNkulunkulu NANINI NAKUPHI.
16. Isibonelo sikaJesu neminye imiBhalo isifundisa ukuthi futhi sichithe isikhathi ngokuhlukile kwabanye, sisodwa noNkulunkulu ngomthandazo (UMathewu 6: 5 & 6). Lapha noJesu uyisibonelo sethu, njengoba uJesu echitha isikhathi esiningi eyedwa emthandazweni. Funda uMarku 1:35; Mathewu 14:23; Marku 6:46; ULuka 11: 1; 5:16; 6:12 no-9: 18 & 28.
17. UNkulunkulu usiyala ukuba sithandaze. Ukuhlala kuhlanganisa nokuthandaza. KwabaseKolose 4: 2 kuthi, "Zinikeleni emthandazweni." KuMathewu 6: 9-13 uJesu wasifundisa Kanjani ukuthandaza ngokusinikeza “Umthandazo WeNkosi.” AbaseFilipi 4: 6 bathi, "Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kodwa kuzo zonke izimo, ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa, ngokubonga, hlalani nezicelo zenu kuNkulunkulu." UPaul wabuza ephindelela amasonto aqala ukumthandazela. ULuka 18: 1 uthi, "Abantu kufanele bathandaze njalo." Bobabili u-2 Samuweli 21: 1 no-5 Thimothewu 5: XNUMX enguqulweni ye-Living Bible bakhuluma ngokuchitha "isikhathi esiningi bethandaza." Ngakho-ke umthandazo uyimfuneko ebalulekile ekuhambeni kwethu noNkulunkulu. Chitha isikhathi Naye emthandazweni njengoba kwenza uDavide kumaHubo nanjengoJesu.

UmBhalo wonke uyisiqondiso sethu sokuphila nokuhamba noNkulunkulu, kodwa sifingqa ukuthi:

1. Yazi iZwi: 2 KuThimothewu 2:15 "Fundela ukuzibonakalisa wamukelekile kuNkulunkulu, isisebenzi esingadingi ukuba namahloni, esihlukanisa kahle izwi leqiniso."
2. Lalela iZwi: UJames 1: 22
3. Yazi NgomBhalo (John 17: 17; 2 Peter 1: 3).
4. Thandaza
5. Vuma isono
6. Landela isibonelo sikaJesu
7. Yiba njengoJesu

Lezizinto engikholwa yilokho uJesu akushoyo lapho uJesu ethi ukuhlala kuYe futhi lokhu kuyinjongo yangempela yokuphila.

Isiphetho

Impilo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu iyize futhi ukuhlubuka kuholela ekuphileni ngaphandle kwakhe. Kuholela ekuphileni ngaphandle kwenjongo, ngokudideka nokukhungatheka, futhi njengoba abaseRoma 1 besho, ukuphila "ngaphandle kolwazi." Akusho lutho futhi kugxile ngokuphelele kulona. Uma sihamba noNkulunkulu sinokuphila futhi lokho ngokwengeziwe, ngenhloso nothando lukaNkulunkulu laphakade. Ngalokhu kuza ubudlelwano obunothando noBaba onothando OHLALA ESIPHA okuhle nokuhle kithina futhi Osijabulelayo futhi asithokozise ngokuthululela izibusiso Zakhe kithi, kuze kube phakade.

Ngemuva kokufunda imibuzo yakho nokuphawula kwakho kubonakala sengathi unokholo oluthile kuNkulunkulu naseNdodaneni yaKhe, uJesu, kodwa futhi unokungaqondi okuningi. Ubonakala ubona uNkulunkulu ngemibono yabantu kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho futhi umbona njengoMuntu Okufanele enze okufunayo, kube sengathi uyisisebenzi noma ufunwa, ngakho-ke wehlulela isimo Sakhe, bese uthi “kusengozini.”

Mangiqale ngitshele ukuthi izimpendulo zami zizosekelwe eBhayibhilini ngoba yilo kuphela umthombo onokwethenjelwa wokuqonda ngempela ukuthi ngubani uNkulunkulu nokuthi ungubani.

Asikwazi 'ukudala' unkulunkulu wethu avumelane nemiyalo yethu, ngokuya ngezifiso zethu. Asikwazi ukuthembela ezincwadini noma emaqenjini ezenkolo noma eminye imibono, kufanele samukele uNkulunkulu weqiniso kumthombo okuwukuphela kwakhe asinike wona, umBhalo. Uma abantu bebuza konke noma ingxenye yomBhalo sishiywa yimibono yabantu kuphela, engavumi neze. Sinonkulunkulu nje owenziwe ngabantu, unkulunkulu oqanjiwe. Uyindalo yethu kuphela futhi akayena uNkulunkulu nhlobo. Singase futhi senze unkulunkulu wezwi noma wamatshe noma wesithombe segolide njengo-Israyeli.

Sifuna ukuba nonkulunkulu owenza lokho esikufunayo. Kepha asikwazi ngisho nokuguqula uNkulunkulu ngezimfuno zethu. Simane senza njengabantwana, siba nolaka ukuze sithole esikufunayo. Akukho esikwenzayo noma ukwahlulela okunquma ukuthi Ungubani futhi zonke izimpikiswano zethu azinamthelela “esimweni” Sakhe. "Isimo" sakhe asikho "engozini" ngoba sisho njalo. Unguye: uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uMdali wethu.

Ngakho Ungubani uNkulunkulu wangempela. Kunezimpawu nezimfanelo eziningi kakhulu engizokhuluma ngazo kuphela futhi ngeke “ngithole umbhalo wokuqinisekisa” zonke. Uma ufuna kuwe ungaya emthonjeni onokwethenjelwa onjenge- “Bible Hub” noma i- “Bible Gateway” online wenze ucwaningo.

Nazi ezinye zezimfanelo Zakhe. UNkulunkulu unguMdali, unguMbusi, unguSomandla. Ungcwele, Ulungile futhi ulungile futhi umahluleli olungile. Ungubaba wethu. Ungukukhanya neqiniso. Ungunaphakade. Angeke aqambe amanga. UThithu 1: 2 uyasitshela, “Ngethemba lokuphila okuphakade, uNkulunkulu, ONGEKE WAQALA AMANGA, akuthembisa kudala. UMalaki 3: 6 uthi akaguquki, "nginguJehova, angiguquki."

AKUKHO esikwenzayo, akukho senzo, umbono, ulwazi, izimo, noma ukwahlulela okungashintsha noma kuthinte "isimo" Sakhe. Uma simsola noma simmangalela, akashintshi. Unguye izolo, namuhla naphakade. Nazi ezinye izimfanelo ezimbalwa: Ukhona yonke indawo; Wazi yonke into (azi konke) okwedlule, kwamanje nekusasa. Uphelele futhi UTHANDO (I John 4: 15-16). UNkulunkulu unothando, unomusa futhi unesihe kubo bonke.

Kumele siqaphele lapha ukuthi zonke izinto ezimbi, izinhlekelele nezinhlekelele ezenzekayo, zenzeka ngenxa yesono esangena emhlabeni ngesikhathi u-Adamu ona (KwabaseRoma 5:12). Ngakho-ke kufanele sibe kanjani isimo sethu sengqondo ngoNkulunkulu wethu?

UNkulunkulu unguMdali wethu. Wadala umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo. (Bheka uGenesise 1-3.) Funda amaRoma 1:20 no-21. Ngokuqinisekile kusho ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi unguMdali wethu nokuthi ngoba unguNkulunkulu, kahle, ukuthi ufanele udumo nenkazimulo yethu . Ithi, “Ngoba kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba, izimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu ezingabonakali - amandla aKhe aphakade kanye nesimo saKhe sobuNkulunkulu - zibonakala ngokucacile, ziqondwa ngalokho okwenziwe, ukuze abantu bangabi nazaba . Ngoba nakuba babemazi uNkulunkulu, abazange bamdumise njengoNkulunkulu, futhi abazange bambonge uNkulunkulu, kodwa imicabango yabo yaba yize futhi izinhliziyo zabo eziyiziwula zaba mnyama.”

Kumele sihloniphe futhi sibonge uNkulunkulu ngoba unguNkulunkulu futhi ngoba unguMdali wethu. Funda futhi amaRoma 1: 28 & 31. Ngibone okuthile okuthakazelisa kakhulu lapha: ukuthi lapho singamhloniphi uNkulunkulu noMdali wethu siba "abangenakuqonda."

Ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu kungumsebenzi wethu. UMathewu 6: 9 uthi, “Baba wethu Osezulwini malingcweliswe iGama Lakho.” UDuteronomi 6: 5 uthi, "Wothanda uJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho." KuMathewu 4:10 lapho uJesu athi kuSathane, “Suka kimi, Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: 'Khuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze yena yedwa.' ”

IHubo 100 lisikhumbuza ngalokhu lapho lithi, “khonzani iNkosi ngenjabulo,” “yazini ukuthi iNkosi uqobo lwayo inguNkulunkulu,” futhi ivesi 3, “Nguye owasenzayo, hhayi thina ngokwethu.” Ivesi 3 lithi futhi, “Singabantu bakhe , izimvu zedlelo lakhe .” Ivesi 4 lithi, “Ngenani emasangweni akhe ngokubonga nasemagcekeni akhe ngokudumisa.” Ivesi 5 lithi, “Ngokuba iNkosi ilungile, umusa wayo umi phakade, nokuthembeka kwayo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.”

NjengamaRoma isiyala ukuba simbonge, simdumise, simdumise futhi simbusise! IHubo 103:1 lithi, “Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami, nakho konke okuphakathi kwami ​​makubonge igama lakhe elingcwele.” IHubo 148:5 licacile lapho lithi, “Mabamdumise uJehova ngokuba wayala futhi badalwa,” futhi evesini 11 lisitshela ukuthi obani okufanele bamdumise, “Onke amakhosi omhlaba nabantu bonke,” futhi ivesi 13 liyanezela, “Ngokuba igama lakhe lodwa liphakeme.”

Ukuze izinto zigcizelelwe kakhulu, eyabaseKolose 1:16 ithi, “zonke izinto zadalwa nguYe futhi zadalelwa Yena ” nokuthi “Ukhona ngaphambi kwazo zonke izinto” kanti isAmbulo 4:11 siyanezela, “ngenxa yentando yakho zikhona futhi zadalelwa.” Sadalelwa uNkulunkulu, akadalelwanga thina, injabulo yethu noma ukuthola lokho esikufunayo. Akekho lapha ukuzosikhonza, kodwa thina ukumkhonza. Njengoba isAmbulo 4:11 sisho, “Ufanele wena, Nkosi yethu noNkulunkulu wethu, ukwamukela inkazimulo nodumo nodumo, ngoba wadala zonke izinto, ngoba ngentando yakho zadalwa futhi zikhona.” Kufanele simkhulekele. IHubo 2:11 lithi, “Khulekani iNkosi ngenhlonipho futhi nijabule ngokuthuthumela.” Bheka futhi uDuteronomi 6:13 kanye no-2 IziKronike 29:8.

Uthe ufana noJobe, ukuthi "uNkulunkulu wayemthanda ngaphambili." Ake sibheke ubunjalo bothando lukaNkulunkulu ukuze ubone ukuthi akayeki ukusithanda, noma ngabe senzani.

Umqondo wokuthi uNkulunkulu uyeka ukusithanda ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isizathu uvamile ezinkolweni eziningi. Incwadi yezimfundiso enginayo ethi, “Great Doctrines of the Bible kaWilliam Evans” lapho ngikhuluma ngothando lukaNkulunkulu ithi, “UbuKrestu yiyona kuphela inkolo ebeka uMuntu oPhakeme njengo“ Uthando. ” Ibeka onkulunkulu bezinye izinkolo njengabantu abathukuthele abafuna imisebenzi yethu emihle ukubathokozisa noma ukuthola isibusiso sabo. ”

Sinamaphuzu amabili okusetshenziswa maqondana nothando: 1) uthando lomuntu no-2) Uthando lukaNkulunkulu njengoba lwembulwe kithi emiBhalweni. Uthando lwethu lunamaphutha yisono. Kuyashintshashintsha noma kungaphela lapho uthando lukaNkulunkulu lumi phakade. Asikwazi ngisho nokuqonda noma ukuqonda uthando lukaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu uluthando (I John 4: 8).

Incwadi ethi “Elemental Theology” ebhalwe nguBancroft, ekhasini 61 lapho ikhuluma ngothando ithi, “isimilo salowo onothando sinikeza uthando othandweni.” Lokho kusho ukuthi uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelele ngoba uNkulunkulu uphelele. (Bheka uMathewu 5:48.) UNkulunkulu ungcwele, ngakho uthando Lwakhe lumsulwa. UNkulunkulu ulungile, ngakho uthando Lwakhe alulingani. UNkulunkulu akaguquki, ngakho uthando Lwakhe aluguquguquki, lwehluleke noma luyeke. I KwabaseKorinte 13:11 sichaza uthando oluphelele ngokusho lokhu, "Uthando alusoze lwaphela." UNkulunkulu kuphela onalo lolu hlobo lothando. Funda iHubo 136. Wonke amavesi akhuluma ngomusa kaNkulunkulu athi umusa Wakhe umi ingunaphakade. Funda kwabaseRoma 8: 35-39 ethi, “ngubani ongasihlukanisa nothando lukaKristu? Ngabe usizi noma izinkathazo noma ukushushiswa noma indlala noma ukuhamba-ze noma ingozi noma inkemba? ”

Ivesi 38 liyaqhubeka, “Ngoba ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, nakho okukhona, nezinto ezisezayo, namandla, nokuphakama, nokujula, nanoma yini enye edaliwe ayikwazi ukusehlukanisa nathi uthando lukaNkulunkulu. ” UNkulunkulu uluthando, ngakho-ke ngeke asisize kodwa asithande.

UNkulunkulu uthanda wonke umuntu. UMathewu 5: 45 uthi, “Wenza ilanga lakhe liphume liwele kwababi nabahle, futhi uthumela imvula kwabalungile nakwabangalungile.” Ubusisa wonke umuntu ngoba uyabathanda bonke. UJames 1:17 uthi, "Zonke izipho ezinhle nazo zonke izipho eziphelele zivela phezulu futhi zehla zivela kuYise wezibane okungekho kuye ukuguquguquka nasithunzi sokuphenduka." AmaHubo 145: 9 athi, “INKOSI ilungile kubo bonke; Unesihawu ngakho konke akwenzileyo. ” UJohn 3: 16 uthi, "Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa."

Kuthiwani ngezinto ezimbi. UNkulunkulu uthembisa okholwayo ukuthi, "Zonke izinto zisebenzelana okuhle kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 8:28)". UNkulunkulu angavumela izinto ukuthi zingene empilweni yethu, kepha qiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzivumele kuphela ngesizathu esihle kakhulu, hhayi ngoba uNkulunkulu ngandlela thile noma ngasizathu simbe ekhethe ukushintsha umqondo Wakhe ayeke ukusithanda.

UNkulunkulu angase akhethe ukusivumela ukuba sibhekane nemiphumela yesono kodwa angase akhethe ukusigcina kuzo, kodwa njalo izizathu Zakhe zivela othandweni futhi inhloso yenzalo yethu.

UKUNIKEZWA KOTHANDO KWENSINDISO

Umbhalo uyasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono. Ukuthola uhlu oluthile, bheka izAga 6: 16-19. Kepha uNkulunkulu akazizondi izoni (I Thimothewu 2: 3 & 4). Eyesi-2 Petru 3: 9 ithi, “INkosi… iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuba nibhubhe, kodwa ukuthi bonke baphenduke.”

Ngakho uNkulunkulu walungiselela indlela yokuhlengwa kwethu. Uma sona noma siduka kuNkulunkulu, akasishiyi futhi uhlala elinde ukuba sibuye, akayeki ukusithanda. UNkulunkulu usinika indaba yendodana yolahleko kuLuka 15:11-32 ukuze abonise uthando Lwakhe ngathi, lolo lukababa onothando ejabula ngokubuya kwendodana yakhe ephambukile. Akubona bonke obaba abangabantu abanjalo kodwa uBaba wethu osezulwini uhlala esamukela. UJesu uthi kuJohane 6:37, “Konke uBaba angipha khona kuyakuza kimi; nalowo ozayo kimi angiyikumlahla.” UJohane 3:16 uthi, “UNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka.” U-1 Thimothewu 2:4 uthi uNkulunkulu “ufisa ukuba bonke abantu basindiswe, bafinyelele ekwazini iqiniso.” Kwabase-Efesu 2:4 nakwabase-5 uthi, “Kepha ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu ngathi, uNkulunkulu, ocebile ngesihawu, wasenza saphila noKristu ngisho nalapho sasifile eziphambekweni – kungomusa nisindisiwe.”

Ukubonakaliswa okukhulu kothando emhlabeni wonke yilungiselelo likaNkulunkulu lokusindiswa kwethu nokuthethelelwa. Udinga ukufunda amaRoma izahluko 4 no-5 lapho kuchazwe khona ingxenye enkulu yecebo likaNkulunkulu. AmaRoma 5:8 no-9 athi, “UNkulunkulu ubonakalisa uthando lwakhe kithi, ngokuthi siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela. Ngakho-ke kakhulu, sesilungisisiwe ngegazi lakhe, siyakusindiswa ngaye olakeni lukaNkulunkulu.” I Johane 4:9 no-10 ithi, “Yile ndlela uNkulunkulu abonisa ngayo uthando lwakhe phakathi kwethu: Wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ezweni ukuze siphile ngayo. Lolu uthando: kungesikho ukuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda, wathumela iNdodana yakhe ibe ngumhlatshelo wokuhlawulela izono zethu.”

UJohn 15: 13 uthi, "Akekho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, ukuthi adele impilo yakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe." Mina kuJohane 3: 16 ithi, "Yile ndlela esazi ngayo ukuthi uthando luyini: UJesu Kristu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yethu…" Kulapha ku-I John lapho kuthiwa "uNkulunkulu Uluthando (isahluko 4, ivesi 8). Lokho Nguye. Lokhu kungubufakazi bokugcina bothando lwaKhe.

Kumele sikukholwe okushiwo nguNkulunkulu - Uyasithanda. Akunandaba ukuthi kwenzekani kithi noma ukuthi izinto zibukeka kanjani okwamanje uNkulunkulu usicela ukuba sikholwe kuye nasothandweni Lwakhe. UDavid, obizwa ngokuthi "yindoda enenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu," usho kumaHubo 52: 8, "ngithemba uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungapheli kuze kube phakade naphakade." Mina John 4:16 kufanele kube umgomo wethu. “Futhi sesiyazi futhi siyalukholwa uthando uNkulunkulu analo ngathi. UNkulunkulu uluthando, nalowo ohlala othandweni uhlala kuNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu uhlala kuye. ”

Uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu oluyisisekelo

Nalu uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lokusisindisa. 1) Sonile sonkhe. AbaseRoma 3:23 bathi, "Bonke bonile futhi bayasilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu." AbaseRoma 6:23 bathi "Inkokhelo yesono ngukufa." U-Isaya 59: 2 uthi, "Izono zethu zehlukanisile noNkulunkulu."

2) Nkulunkulu unikete indlela. UJohane 3:16 uthi, “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa…” KuJohane 14: 6 uJesu wathi, “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami. ”

I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1 & 2 "Lesi yisipho sikaNkulunkulu samahhala sensindiso, ivangeli engilethule ngalo osindiswa ngalo." Ivesi 3 lithi, "Ukuthi uKristu wafela izono zethu," futhi ivesi 4 liyaqhubeka, "ukuthi wangcwatshwa nokuthi wavuswa ngosuku lwesithathu." UMathewu 26:28 (KJV) uthi, "Leli igazi lami lesivumelwano esisha elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi ngenjongo yokuthethelelwa kwesono." UPetru 2:24 (NASB) uthi, "Yena uqobo wathwala izono zethu emzimbeni Wakhe esiphambanweni."

3) Asikwazi ukuzuza usindiso lwethu ngokwenza imisebenzi emihle. Kwabase-Efesu 2: 8 & 9 ithi, “Ngoba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; futhi lokho akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; hhayi ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo. ” UThithu 3: 5 uthi, “Kepha lapho umusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu kumuntu lungaveli ngemisebenzi yokulunga esiyenzileyo thina, kodwa ngokomusa wakhe wasisindisa…” eyesi-2 Thimothewu 2: 9 ithi, “ osisindisile wasibizela empilweni engcwele - hhayi ngenxa yanoma yini esiyenzile kodwa ngenxa yenhloso yakhe nomusa wakhe. ”

4) Insindiso nokuthethelelwa kukaNkulunkulu kwenziwa kanjani kube ngokwakho: UJohane 3:16 uthi, “ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa kuye angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” UJohn usebenzisa igama kholwa izikhathi ezingama-50 encwadini kaJohane kuphela ukuchaza ukuthi ungasithola kanjani isipho sikaNkulunkulu samahhala sokuphila okuphakade nentethelelo. KwabaseRoma 6:23 kuthi, "Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu." AmaRoma 10:13 athi, "Wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi uyosindiswa."

Isiqiniseko sokuthethelela

Kungakho sinesiqiniseko sokuthi izono zethu zithethelelwe. Impilo engunaphakade iyisithembiso “kuwo wonke umuntu okholwayo” naku “uNkulunkulu akaqambi amanga.” UJohane 10:28 uthi, “Ngizinika ukuphila okuphakade, azisoze zabhubha naphakade.” Khumbula uJohane 1:12 uthi, “Bonke abamamukelayo wabanika ilungelo lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa egameni lakhe.” Kuyisikhwama esincike “esimweni” Sakhe sothando, iqiniso nobulungiswa.

Uma uze kuye futhi wamukela uKristu usindisiwe. UJohane 6:37 uthi, “Lowo oza kimi angisoze ngamxosha.” Uma ungamcelanga ukuba akuthethelele futhi wamukele uKristu, ungakwenza lokho ngalo mzuzu.

Uma ukholelwa kolunye uhlobo lokuthi Ungubani uJesu nolunye uhlobo lwalokho akwenzele khona kunaleyo enikezwe emiBhalweni, udinga "ukushintsha umqondo wakho" futhi wamukele uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu noMsindisi womhlaba . Khumbula, ukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu (Johane 14: 6).

Intethelelo

Ukuthethelelwa kwethu kuyingxenye eyigugu yensindiso yethu. Incazelo yokuthethelelwa ukuthi izono zethu ziyathunyelwa futhi uNkulunkulu akasazikhumbuli. U-Isaya 38:17 uthi, "Ulahle zonke izono zami ngemuva kwakho." AmaHubo 86: 5 athi, “Ngoba wena Nkosi ulungile, ukulungele ukuthethelela, unomusa omkhulu kubo bonke abakubizayo.” Bheka abaseRoma 10:13. Amahubo 103: 12 athi, “Njengokuba impumalanga yahlukene nentshonalanga, udlulisile kangaka kithi iziphambeko zethu.” UJeremiya 31:39 uthi, “Ngiyakubathethelela ububi babo, nesono sabo angisayikusikhumbula.”

AmaRoma 4: 7 & 8 athi, "Babusisiwe abazenzo zabo zokwephula umthetho zithethelelwe futhi abazono zabo zimboziwe. Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engasoze yasinaka. ” Lokhu ukuxolelwa. Uma ukuthethelela kwakho kungesona isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu usithathaphi, ngoba njengoba sesibonile, awusoze wakuthola.

AbaseKolose 1:14 bathi, “Esinokuhlengwa kuye, yebo, ukuthethelelwa kwezono.” Bheka Izenzo 5:30 & 31; 13:38 no-26: 18. Onke la mavesi akhuluma ngokuthethelelwa njengengxenye yensindiso yethu. Izenzo 10:43 zithi, "Wonke umuntu okholwa kuye uthola ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngegama lakhe." Kwabase-Efesu 1: 7 kushiwo nalokhu futhi, “Esinokuhlengwa ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngokwengcebo yomusa wakhe.”

Akunakwenzeka ngoNkulunkulu ukuba aqambe amanga. Akakwazi ukukwenza. Akuyona into engenangqondo. Intethelelo isekelwe esithembisweni. Uma samukela uKristu sixolelwe. Izenzo 10:34 zithi, "uNkulunkulu akabheki ubuso bamuntu." Ukuhunyushwa kwe-NIV kuthi, "uNkulunkulu akabonisi ukukhetha."

Ngifuna uye ku-1 John 1 ukukhombisa ukuthi kusebenza kanjani kumakholwa ahlulekayo futhi ona. Singabantwana baKhe futhi njengobaba wethu abangabantu, noma ubaba wendodana yolahleko, uyathethelela, ngakho-ke uBaba wethu waseZulwini uyasithethelela futhi uzophinde asamukele futhi.

Siyazi ukuthi isono siyasihlukanisa noNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke isono siyasihlukanisa noNkulunkulu noma singabantwana Bakhe. Akusihlukanisi nothando lwaKhe, futhi akusho ukuthi asiseyona izingane zaKhe, kepha kwephula ubudlelwane bethu Naye. Awukwazi ukuthembela emizweni lapha. Vele ukholelwe izwi lakhe lokuthi uma wenza okulungile, vuma, ukuthethelele.

Sinjengabantwana

Masisebenzise isibonelo somuntu. Lapho ingane encane ingalaleli futhi ibhekene nayo, ingakufihla, noma iqambe amanga noma ifihlele umzali wayo ngenxa yecala layo. Angase enqabe ukuvuma iphutha lakhe. Ngakho-ke uzihlukanisile nabazali bakhe ngoba wesaba ukuthi bazokuthola akwenzile, futhi wesabe ukuthi bazomthukuthelela noma bamjezise lapho bethola. Ukusondelana nokunethezeka kwengane nabazali bayo kuphukile. Akakwazi ukuzwa ukuphepha, ukwamukelwa nothando abanalo ngaye. Ingane isifane no-Adamu no-Eva ecashe eNsimini yase-Edene.

Nathi senza into efanayo ngoBaba wethu osezulwini. Lapho sona, sizizwa sinecala. Sesaba ukuthi uzosijezisa, noma angayeka ukusithanda noma asilahle. Asifuni ukuvuma ukuthi asilungile. Ubudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu bunqamukile.

UNkulunkulu akasishiyi, uthembisile ukuthi akasoze asishiya. Bona uMathewu 28:20, othi, "Futhi impela nginawe njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba." Sicashile kuYe. Asikwazi ukucasha ngempela ngoba Uyazi futhi ubona konke. AmaHubo 139: 7 athi, “Ngingayaphi ngisuka kuMoya wakho? Ngingabalekelaphi ngisuke ebusweni bakho? ” Sifana no-Adamu lapho sifihle uNkulunkulu. Uyasifuna, ulinde ukuthi size kuye sizocela intethelelo, njengoba nje nomzali efuna nje ingane ukuthi ikubone futhi ikwamukele ukungalaleli kwakhe. Yilokhu uBaba wethu waseZulwini akufunayo. Ulinde ukusixolela. Uzosibuyisela njalo emuva.

Obaba abangabantu bangayeka ukuthanda ingane, yize lokho kungavamile ukwenzeka. KuNkulunkulu, njengoba sesibonile, uthando lwaKhe ngathi alusoze lwaphela, alupheli. Usithanda ngothando olungapheliyo. Khumbula amaRoma 8: 38 & 39. Khumbula ukuthi akukho okungasihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, asiyeki ukuba ngabantwana Bakhe.

Yebo, uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono futhi njengoba u-Isaya 59: 2 esho, “izono zakho zehlukanise phakathi kwakho noNkulunkulu wakho, izono zakho zifihle ubuso bakhe kuwe.” Ithi evesini 1, “ingalo yeNkosi ayimfushane ukuba isindise, nendlebe yayo ayibuthuntu ukuzwa,” kepha iHubo 66: 18 ithi, “Uma ngibheka ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ayiyikungizwa . ”

Incwadi yoku-1 Johane 2:1 no-2 ithi kumuntu okholwayo, “Bantwana bami abathandekayo, nginilobela lokhu ukuze ningoni. Kodwa uma umuntu ona, sinomuntu okhuluma noBaba esivikela – uJesu Kristu, oLungileyo.” Amakholwa angenza isono futhi ayasenza. Eqinisweni incwadi yoku-1 Johane 1:8 no-10 ithi, “Uma sithi asinasono, siyazikhohlisa futhi iqiniso alikho kithi” futhi “uma sithi asonanga, simenza umqambimanga, nezwi lakhe alikho kithi.” Uma senza isono uNkulunkulu usibonisa indlela ebuyela emuva evesini 9 elithi, “Uma sivuma (sivuma) izono zethu , uthembekile futhi ulungile ukuthethelela izono zethu nokusihlanza kukho konke ukungalungi.”

Kumelwe sikhethe ukuvuma izono zethu kuNkulunkulu ngakho uma singatholi intethelelo kuyiphutha lethu, hhayi likaNkulunkulu. Kuyisinqumo sethu ukulalela uNkulunkulu. Isithembiso sakhe siqinisekile. Uzosithethelela. Akanakuqamba amanga.

Amavesi kaJobe Anobuntu BukaNkulunkulu

Ake sibheke uJobe selokhu umkhulisile futhi sibone ukuthi kusifundisani ngempela ngoNkulunkulu nobudlelwano bethu Naye. Abantu abaningi abayiqondi kahle incwadi kaJobe, ukulandisa kwayo kanye nemiqondo yayo. Kungaba enye yezincwadi zeBhayibheli ezingaqondakali kakhulu.

Enye yemibono yokuqala eyiphutha ukucabanga ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuhlala kuyisibonakaliso sentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu ngesono noma izono esizenzile. Ngokusobala yilokho abangane bakaJobe abathathu ababeqiniseka ngakho, uNkulunkulu ekugcineni abasola ngakho. (Sizobuyela kulokho kamuva.) Okunye ukucabanga ukuthi ukuchuma noma izibusiso zihlala ziyisibonakaliso sokuthi uNkulunkulu uyajabula ngathi. Akulungile. Lona umbono womuntu, umcabango ocabanga ukuthi sithola umusa kaNkulunkulu. Ngabuza othile ukuthi yini evelele kubo encwadini kaJobe futhi impendulo yabo yathi, “Asazi lutho.” Akekho obonakala eqiniseka ukuthi ubani owabhala uJobe. Asazi ukuthi uJobe wake wakuqonda konke okwakwenzeka. Wayengenawo nombhalo, njengathi.

Umuntu akakwazi ukuyiqonda le akhawunti ngaphandle kokuthi aqonde okwenzekayo phakathi kukaNkulunkulu noSathane nempi phakathi kwamabutho noma abalandeli bokulunga nalabo ababi. USathane uyisitha esinqotshiwe ngenxa yesiphambano sikaKristu, kepha ungasho ukuthi okwamanje akaboshiwe. Kunempi esalokhu iqhubeka kuleli zwe phezu kwemiphefumulo yabantu. UNkulunkulu usinikeze incwadi kaJobe neminye imiBhalo eminingi ukusisiza ukuba siqonde.

Okokuqala, njengoba ngishilo phambilini, bonke ububi, ubuhlungu, ukugula kanye nezinhlekelele kubangelwa ukungena kwesono emhlabeni. UNkulunkulu akenzi noma adale ububi, kepha angavumela izinhlekelele ukuthi zisivivinye. Akukho okuza ezimpilweni zethu ngaphandle kwemvume Yakhe, ngisho nokulungiswa noma ukuvumela ukuthi sihlupheke ngemiphumela yesono esisenzile. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi siqine.

UNkulunkulu akanqumi ngokungazikhetheli ukungasithandi. Uthando luyiSidalwa Sakhe uqobo, kodwa futhi ungcwele futhi ulungile. Ake sibheke isimo. Esahlukweni 1:6, “amadodana kaNkulunkulu” aziletha kuNkulunkulu futhi uSathane wafika phakathi kwawo. “Amadodana kaNkulunkulu” cishe ayizingelosi, mhlawumbe iqembu elixubile lalabo abalandela uNkulunkulu nalabo abalandela uSathane. USathane wayevela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni. Lokhu kungenza ngicabange nge-1 Petru 5:8 ethi, “Isitha sakho uDeveli uyazulazula njengengonyama ebhongayo, efuna umuntu ozomgwinya.” UNkulunkulu ukhomba “inceku yakhe uJobe,” futhi nansi iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu. Uthi uJobe uyinceku Yakhe elungile, futhi akanacala, uqotho, wesaba uNkulunkulu futhi uphenduka ebubini. Qaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakho lapha omangalela uJobe nganoma yisiphi isono. USathane uthi okuwukuphela kwesizathu sokuba uJobe alandele uNkulunkulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu umbusisile nokuthi uma uNkulunkulu ethatha lezo zibusiso uJobe wayezomthuka uNkulunkulu. Nansi impikiswano. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wabe esevumela uSathane ukuba ahluphe uJobe ukuze avivinye uthando lwakhe nokwethembeka kwakhe kuye. Funda isahluko 1:21 & 22. UJobe wadlula kulesi sivivinyo. Ithi, “Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga, futhi akasolanga uNkulunkulu.” Esahlukweni sesi-2 uSathane uphinde aphonsele uNkulunkulu inselele yokuthi avivinye uJobe. UNkulunkulu uphinde avumele uSathane ukuba ahluphe uJobe. UJobe uphendula ku-2:10, “siyakwamukela okuhle kuNkulunkulu hhayi okubi.” Ku-2:10 ithi, “Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga ngomlomo wakhe.”

Qaphela ukuthi uSathane wayengeke enze lutho ngaphandle kwemvume kaNkulunkulu, futhi ubeka imikhawulo. ITestamente Elisha likukhombisa lokhu kuLuka 22:31 elithi, "Simoni, uSathane ubefisa ukuba nawe." I-NASB ikubeka ngale ndlela ithi, uSathane "wayefuna imvume yokukuhluza njengokolweni." Funda abase-Efesu 6: 11 & 12. Lisitshela ukuthi, “Gqokani zonke izikhali noma uNkulunkulu” futhi “nimelane namaqhinga kaSathane. Ngoba umzabalazo wethu awubambene nenyama negazi, kodwa sibambene nababusi, neziphathimandla, namandla ombuso walomhlaba omnyama kanye namandla omoya wobubi asezulwini. ” Cacisa. Kukho konke lokhu uJobe wayengonanga. Sisempini.

Manje buyela ku-I Peter 5: 8 bese uqhubeka. Ichaza ngokuyisisekelo incwadi kaJobe. Ithi, “kepha melanani naye (uSathane), niqinile ekukholweni kwenu, nazi ukuthi lokho okuhlangenwe nakho kokuhlupheka kufezwa ngabafowenu abasezweni. Emva kokuhlupheka isikhashana, uNkulunkulu womusa wonke, owanibizela enkazimulweni yaKhe yaphakade kuKristu, uzakuphelelisa, akuqinise, akuqinise. ” Lesi yisizathu esinamandla sokuhlupheka, kanye neqiniso lokuthi ukuhlupheka kuyingxenye yanoma iyiphi impi. Ukube asikaze sizame nje besizoba yizingane ezondliwe ngezipuni futhi singalokothi sivuthwe. Ekuvivinyweni siba namandla futhi sibona ulwazi lwethu ngoNkulunkulu lukhula, sibona ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani ngezindlela ezintsha futhi ubudlelwane bethu naye buyaqina.

KumaRoma 1:17 kuthi, "abalungileyo bazophila ngokukholwa." AmaHeberu 11: 6 athi, "ngaphandle kokholo akwenzeki ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu." Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5: 7 ithi, "Sihamba ngokukholwa, hhayi ngokubona." Kungenzeka singakuqondi lokhu, kodwa kuyiqiniso. Kufanele sethembe uNkulunkulu kukho konke lokhu, kunoma ikuphi ukuhlupheka akuvumelayo.

Selokhu kwawa uSathane (Funda uHezekeli 28: 11-19; u-Isaya 14: 12-14; Isambulo 12:10.) Le mpi ibikhona futhi uSathane ufisa ukususa sonke kuNkulunkulu. USathane waze wazama ukulinga uJesu ukuthi angamethembi uYise (Mathewu 4: 1-11). Kwaqala ngo-Eva ensimini. Qaphela, uSathane wamlinga ngokumenza abuze isimilo sikaNkulunkulu, uthando Lwakhe nokumkhathalela. USathane waveza ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayemgcinele okuthile okuhle futhi wayengenalo uthando futhi engenabulungisa. USathane uhlala ezama ukuthatha umbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi enze abantu Bakhe bamelane Naye.

Kufanele sikubone ukuhlupheka kukaJobe nokwethu ngokubheka le “mpi” lapho uSathane ehlale ezama ukusilinga ukuba sishintshe izinhlangothi futhi sehlukanise noNkulunkulu. Khumbula uNkulunkulu wathi uJobe wayelungile futhi engenacala. Akunasibonakaliso secala lesono esenziwe kuJobe kuze kube manje kule akhawunti. UNkulunkulu akazange akuvumele lokhu kuhlupheka ngenxa yanoma yini uJobe ayenzile. Wayengamehluleli, emthukuthelele futhi engayekile ukumthanda.

Manje abangane bakaJobe, okusobala ukuthi bakholelwa ukuthi ukuhlupheka kungenxa yesono, bangena esithombeni. Ngingabhekisela kuphela kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ngabo, futhi ngithi qaphelani ningahluleli abanye, njengoba bahlulela uJobe. UNkulunkulu wabasola. UJobe 42:7&8 uthi, “Ngemva kokuba uJehova esekhulumile lezi zinto kuJobe, wathi ku-Elifazi umThemani, ‘Ngithukuthelele wena nabangane bakho ababili, ngoba anikhulumanga ngami okulungile njengoba inceku yami uJobe yenzile. Ngakho-ke thathani izinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa niye encekwini yami uJobe niyonikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa. Inceku yami uJobe izakunithandazela, futhi ngizokwamukela umthandazo wakhe futhi nginganiphathi ngokobuwula benu. Anikhulumanga ngami okulungile, njengoba inceku yami uJobe yenzile.’” UNkulunkulu wabathukuthelela ngalokho abakwenzile, ebatshela ukuthi banikele umhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu. Qaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabenza baya kuJobe bacele uJobe ukuba abathandazele, ngoba babengakhulumanga iqiniso ngaYe njengoba uJobe enze.

Kuzo zonke izingxoxo zabo (3: 1-31: 40), uNkulunkulu wayethule. Ubuze ngoNkulunkulu athule kuwe. Alisho ngempela ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu athule kangaka. Kwesinye isikhathi kungenzeka ukuthi ulindele nje ukuthi simethembe, sihambe ngokukholwa, noma sifune impendulo, mhlawumbe emBhalweni, noma athule nje acabange ngezinto.

Ake sibheke emuva ukubona ukuthi kwenzekani ngoJobe. UJobe ubelokhu elwa nokugxekwa ngabangane bakhe "ababizwa kanjalo" abazimisele ukufakazela ukuthi ubunzima buvela esonweni (Jobe 4: 7 & 8). Siyazi ukuthi ezahlukweni zokugcina uNkulunkulu ukhuza uJobe. Kungani? Yini embi uJobe ayenzayo? Kungani uNkulunkulu enza lokhu? Kubonakala shengatsi kukholwa kwaJobe bekungakavivinywa. Manje sekuvivinywe kanzima, mhlawumbe ngaphezu kwalokho iningi lethu eliyoke libe nakho. Ngikholwa ukuthi ingxenye yalokhu kuhlolwa ukulahlwa “ngabangane” bakhe. Kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​nokubona kwami, ngicabanga ukuthi ukwahlulelwa nokulahlwa kwakha amanye amakholwa kuyisilingo esikhulu nokudikibala. Khumbula izwi likaNkulunkulu lithi ungangahluleli (KwabaseRoma 14:10). Kunalokho isifundisa ukuthi “sikhuthazane” (Hebheru 3:13).

Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu ezokwahlulela isono sethu futhi kungenye yezizathu zokuhlupheka, akusona isizathu ngaso sonke isikhathi, njengoba "abangane" basho. Ukubona isono esisobala kungenye into, sicabanga ukuthi kungenye into. Inhloso ukubuyisela, hhayi ukudiliza nokulahla. UJobe uthukuthelela uNkulunkulu nokuthula Kwakhe futhi uqala ukubuza uNkulunkulu futhi afune izimpendulo. Uqala ukuthethelela ulaka lwakhe.

Esahlukweni 27:6 uJobe uthi, “Ngizogcina ukulunga kwami.” Kamuva uNkulunkulu uthi uJobe wenza lokhu ngokumangalela uNkulunkulu (Jobe 40:8). Esahlukweni 29 uJobe uyangabaza, ebhekisela ekubusisweni nguNkulunkulu esikhathini esidlule futhi ethi uNkulunkulu akasekho naye. Kufana nokuthi uthi uNkulunkulu wayemthanda ngaphambili. Khumbula uMathewu 28:20 uthi lokhu akulona iqiniso ngoba uNkulunkulu unikeza lesi sithembiso, “Futhi nginani njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi.” AmaHebheru 13:5 athi, “Angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle.” UNkulunkulu akazange amshiye uJobe futhi ekugcineni wakhuluma naye njengoba enza ku-Adamu no-Eva.

Kudingeka sifunde ukuqhubeka sihamba ngokholo – hhayi ngokubona (noma ngemizwa) nokuthembela ezithembisweni zaKhe, ngisho noma singakakwazi “ukuzizwa” ubukhona baKhe futhi singakayitholi impendulo yemithandazo yethu. KuJobe 30:20 uJobe uthi, “O Nkulunkulu, awungiphenduli.” Manje useqala ukukhononda. Kusahluko 31 uJobe usola uNkulunkulu ngokungamlaleli futhi uthi uzophikisana futhi avikele ukulunga kwakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu uma nje uNkulunkulu elalela (Jobe 31:35). Funda uJobe 31:6. Kusahluko 23:1-5 uJobe ukhononda nakuNkulunkulu, ngoba akaphenduli. UNkulunkulu uthule – uthi uNkulunkulu akamniki isizathu salokho akwenzile. UNkulunkulu akudingeki aphendule kuJobe noma kithi. Asikwazi ngempela ukufuna lutho kuNkulunkulu. Bheka lokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo kuJobe lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma. UJobe 38:1 uthi, “Ngubani lo okhuluma engenalwazi?” UJobe 40:2 (NASB) uthi, “Ubani osolayo uphikisana noSomandla?” KuJobe 40:1&2 (NIV) uNkulunkulu uthi uJobe “uyamphikisa,” “uyamlungisa” futhi “uyammangalela”. UNkulunkulu uphendula lokho uJobe akushoyo, ngokufuna uJobe aphendule imibuzo Yakhe . Ivesi 3 lithi, “Ngizokubuza futhi uzongiphendula . ” Esahlukweni 40:8 uNkulunkulu uthi, “Ungangilahla yini ubulungiswa bami? Ungangilahla yini ukuze uzisole?” Ubani ofuna ukuthini futhi kubani?

Ngemuva kwalokho uNkulunkulu uphinde aphikise uJobe ngamandla aKhe njengoMdali wakhe, okungekho mpendulo kuwo. UNkulunkulu uthi, “NginguNkulunkulu, nginguMdali, ungadeleli ukuthi ngingubani. Ungangabazi uthando lwami, ukulunga Kwami, ngoba NGINGUNKULUNKULU, uMdali. ”

UNkulunkulu akashongo ukuthi uJobe wajeziswa ngesono esedlule kepha uthi, "Ungangibuzi, ngoba ngingedwa uNkulunkulu." Asikho esimeni sokufuna okufunwa uNkulunkulu. Uyena yedwa onguMbusi. Khumbula uNkulunkulu ufuna simkholwe. Kukholwa okumthokozisayo. Lapho uNkulunkulu esitshela ukuthi ulungile futhi unothando, ufuna simkholwe. Impendulo kaNkulunkulu yashiya uJobe engenampendulo noma usizo ngaphandle kokuthi aphenduke akhuleke.

KuJobe 42: 3 uJobe ucashunwe ethi, "Impela ngakhuluma ngezinto engingaziqondi, izinto ezimangazayo kimi." KuJobe 40: 4 (NIV) uJobe uthi, "Angifanele." I-NASB ithi, “Angilutho.” KuJobe 40: 5 uJobe uthi, "Anginampendulo," nakuJobe 42: 5 uthi, "Izindlebe zami bezizwile ngawe, kepha manje amehlo ami akubonile." Ube esethi, “Ngiyazidelela futhi ngiphenduka othulini nasemlotheni.” Manje usenakho ukuqonda okukhulu kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu, okulungile.

UNkulunkulu uhlala ezimisele ukuthethelela iziphambeko zethu. Sonke siyehluleka futhi asimethembi uNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi. Cabanga ngabantu abathile emBhalweni abahluleke ngesikhathi esithile ekuhambeni kwabo noNkulunkulu, njengoMose, u-Abrahama, u-Eliya noma uJona noma abangaqondi kahle ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzani njengoNawomi owaba nomunyu futhi kuthiwani ngoPetru, owaphika uKristu. Ingabe uNkulunkulu wayeka ukubathanda? Cha! Wayebekezela, ebekezela futhi enesihe futhi exolela.

Isiyalo

Kuliqiniso ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasizonda isono, futhi njengobaba bethu abangabantu uzosiyala futhi asiqondise uma siqhubeka sona. Angasebenzisa izimo ukwahlulela thina, kepha inhloso yakhe, njengomzali, nangenxa yothando lwaKhe ngathi, ukusibuyisela ebudlelwaneni Naye. Uyabekezela futhi uyabekezela futhi unesihe futhi ukulungele ukuthethelela. Njengobaba ongumuntu Ufuna ukuba "sikhule" futhi sibe ngabalungileyo futhi abavuthiwe. Ukube Akasiyalanga besizokonakala, zingane ezingavuthiwe.

Angase futhi asivumele sihlupheke ngemiphumela yesono sethu, kepha akasiphiki noma ayeke ukusithanda. Uma siphendula kahle futhi sivuma izono zethu futhi simcele ukuba asisize sishintshe siyoba njengoBaba wethu. AmaHeberu 12: 5 athi, "Ndodana yami, ungadeleli (udelele) isiyalo seNkosi futhi ungapheli amandla lapho ekukhuza, ngoba iNkosi iyala labo ebathandayo, futhi ijezisa wonke umuntu eyamukela njengendodana." Evesini lesi-7 kuthi, “ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya lowo amthandayo. Ngoba iyiphi indodana engayalwa ”futhi ivesi 9 lithi,“ Ngaphezu kwalokho sonke sinobaba abangabantu abasijezisa futhi sabahlonipha ngakho. Kakhulu kangakanani thina sizithobe kuYise wemimoya yethu, siphile. ” Ivesi 10 lithi, "uNkulunkulu usiyala ukuze kuzuze thina ukuze sihlanganyele ebungcweleni baKhe."

"Asikho isiyalo esibukeka sijabulisa ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa sibuhlungu, kepha sivezela isivuno sokulunga kanye nokuthula kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiso."

UNkulunkulu usiyala ukuze asiqinise. Yize uJobe engazange amphike uNkulunkulu, akazange amethembe futhi ahlambalaze uNkulunkulu futhi wathi uNkulunkulu wayengenabulungisa, kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu emkhuza, waphenduka wavuma iphutha lakhe futhi uNkulunkulu wambuyisela. UJobe waphendula ngendlela efanele. Abanye abanjengoDavid noPeter bahluleka futhi kepha uNkulunkulu wababuyisela futhi.

U-Isaya 55: 7 uthi, "Omubi makashiye indlela yakhe nomuntu ongalungile imicabango yakhe, abuyele eNkosini, ngoba Uzoba nesihe kuye futhi uzokuthethelela ngokukhululekile (i-NIV isho ngokukhululeka)."

Uma kwenzeka uwe noma wehluleka, vele usebenzise u-1 John 1: 9 bese uvuma isono sakho njengoDavid noPetru nanjengoJobe. Uzothethelela, Uyathembisa. Obaba abangabantu bayazilungisa izingane zabo kodwa zingawenza amaphutha. UNkulunkulu akenzi kanjalo. Uyazi konke. Uphelele. Ulungile futhi ulungile futhi uyakuthanda.

Kungani UNkulunkulu Ethula

Uphakamise umbuzo wokuthi kungani uNkulunkulu athule uma uthandaza. UNkulunkulu wathula lapho evivinya uJobe futhi. Akunasizathu esinikeziwe, kepha singanikeza kuphela ukuqagela. Mhlawumbe Wayevele adinge yonke into ukuze adlale ukuze abonise uSathane iqiniso noma mhlawumbe umsebenzi Wakhe enhliziyweni kaJobe wawungakaqedwa. Mhlawumbe nathi asikakulungeli ukuthola impendulo. UNkulunkulu Nguye kuphela Owaziyo, kufanele simethembe nje.

AmaHubo 66:18 anikeza enye impendulo, endimeni ekhuluma ngomkhuleko, ithi, “Uma ngibheka ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ngeke ingizwe.” UJobe wayekwenza lokhu. Wayeka ukwethemba futhi waqala ukubuza imibuzo. Lokhu kungaba njalo nangathi.

Kungaba nezinye izizathu futhi. Kungenzeka ukuthi uzama ukukwenza uthembele, uhambe ngokholo, hhayi ngokubona, ngokuhlangenwe nakho noma ngemizwa. Ukuthula kwakhe kusiphoqa ukuthi simethembe futhi simfune. Kusiphoqa nokuba siphikelele emthandazweni. Bese-ke sifunda ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso osinikeza izimpendulo zethu, futhi asifundise ukubonga nokwazisa konke asenzela khona. Kusifundisa ukuthi Ungumthombo wazo zonke izibusiso. Khumbula uJakobe 1:17, “Zonke izipho ezinhle neziphelele zivela phezulu, zehla zivela kuYise wezinkanyiso zasezulwini, ongaguquki njengethunzi eligudlukayo. ”NjengoJobe kungenzeka singazi ukuthi kungani. Singahle, njengoJobe, siqonde nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani, ukuthi unguMdali wethu, hhayi thina. Akasiyo inceku yethu ukuthi singeza kuye sifune izidingo zethu futhi sifune ukuhlangatshezwa. Akudingeki nokuthi asinikeze izizathu zezenzo Zakhe, noma enza kaningi. Kufanele simhloniphe futhi simkhonze, ngoba unguNkulunkulu.

UNkulunkulu ufuna size kuYe, ngokukhululeka nangesibindi kodwa ngenhlonipho nangokuthobeka. Ubona futhi uzwa zonke izidingo nezicelo ngaphambi kokuba sicele, ngakho abantu bayabuza, “Kungani nicela, kungani nithandaza?” Ngicabanga ukuthi siyacela futhi sithandaza ukuze siqaphele ukuthi ukhona futhi ungokoqobo futhi uyasizwa futhi asiphendule ngoba uyasithanda. Muhle kakhulu. Njengoba amaRoma 8:28 esho, uhlala esenza okungcono kakhulu kithi.

Esinye isizathu sokuba singasitholi isicelo sethu ukuthi asiceli ukuba intando yaKhe yenziwe, noma asiceli ngokwentando yaKhe ebhaliwe njengoba kwembulwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu. 1 Johane 5:14 ithi, “Uma sicela utho ngokwentando yaKhe siyazi ukuthi uyasizwa…siyazi ukuthi sinesicelo esisicelile kuYe.” Khumbula uJesu wathandaza, “kungabi ngentando yami kodwa eyakho.” Bheka futhi uMathewu 6:10, uMthandazo weNkosi. Usifundisa ukuthandaza sithi, “Intando yaKho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini.”

Bheka uJakobe 4: 2 ukuthola ezinye izizathu zomthandazo ongaphenduliwe. Ithi, "Awunakho ngoba awuceli." Asazihluphi ngokuthandaza futhi sibuze. Iqhubeka evesini lesithathu, "Ubuza futhi ungamukeli ngoba ubuza ngezisusa ezingalungile (i-KJV ithi buza kabi) ukuze ukwazi ukukudla ezinkanukweni zakho." Lokhu kusho ukuthi sinobugovu. Omunye uthe sisebenzisa uNkulunkulu njengomshini wethu wokuthengisa.

Mhlawumbe kufanele ufunde isihloko somkhuleko kusuka emiBhalweni wedwa, hhayi incwadi ethile noma uchungechunge lwemibono yabantu ngomkhuleko. Asikwazi ukuthola noma ukufuna noma yini kuNkulunkulu. Siphila emhlabeni obeka isiqu sakho kuqala futhi sibheka uNkulunkulu njengoba senza abanye abantu, sifuna ukuthi basibeke kuqala futhi basinike esikufunayo. Sifuna uNkulunkulu asikhonze. UNkulunkulu ufuna size kuye nezicelo, hhayi okufunwayo.

AbaseFilipi 4: 6 bathi, "Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa kanye nokubonga." I Peter 5: 6 ithi, "Ngakho-ke, zithobeni ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esinamandla, ukuze aniphakamise ngesikhathi esifanele." UMika 6: 8 uthi, “Ukubonisile, O muntu, okuhle. Futhi yini uJehova ayifunayo kuwe? Ukwenza ukulunga nokuthanda umusa nokuhamba ngokuthobekile noNkulunkulu wakho. ”

Isiphetho

Kuningi esingakufunda kuJobe. Impendulo yokuqala kaJobe ekuhlolweni kwaba ngeyokukholwa (Jobe 1:21). Umbhalo uthi kufanele "sihambe ngokukholwa hhayi ngokubona" ​​(2 KwabaseKorinte 5: 7). Thembela ubulungiswa, ukulunga nothando lukaNkulunkulu. Uma sibuza uNkulunkulu, sizibeka ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu, sizenza uNkulunkulu. Sizenza abahluleli boMahluleli womhlaba wonke. Sonke sinemibuzo kepha sidinga ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu futhi lapho sehluleka njengoba uJobe enza kamuva kwakudingeka siphenduke okusho ukuthi "sishintshe izingqondo zethu" njengoJobe, sithole umbono omusha wokuthi Ungubani uNkulunkulu - uMdali uSomandla, futhi umkhulekele njengoJobe. Sidinga ukubona ukuthi akulungile ukwahlulela uNkulunkulu. “Isimo” sikaNkulunkulu asikaze sibe sengozini. Awukwazi ukunquma ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani noma yini okufanele ayenze. Awukwazi neze ukuguqula uNkulunkulu.

UJames 1: 23 & 24 uthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lifana nesibuko. Ithi, "Noma ngubani olalela izwi kodwa angenzi elikushoyo kufana nomuntu obuka ubuso bakhe esibukweni bese, ngemuva kokuzibuka, ahambe futhi akhohlwe masinyane ukuthi ubukeka kanjani." Uthe uNkulunkulu wayeka ukuthanda uJobe nawe. Kusobala ukuthi Akazange futhi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lithi uthando lwaKhe luhlala njalo futhi alwehluleki. Kodwa-ke, ubufana ncamashi noJobe ngokuthi 'wenze mnyama iseluleko Sakhe.' Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi “umhlazisile” Yena, ukuhlakanipha Kwakhe, injongo yakhe, ubulungiswa, izahlulelo nothando Lwakhe. Wena, njengoJobe, 'usola' uNkulunkulu.

Zibheke kahle esibukweni “sikaJobe.” Ingabe nguwe “onecala” njengoJobe? NjengakuJobe, uNkulunkulu uhlala ekulungele ukuthethelela uma sivuma amaphutha ethu (I John 1: 9). Uyazi ukuthi singabantu. Ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu kumayelana nokukholwa. Unkulunkulu omcabangayo akayona into engokoqobo, kuphela uNkulunkulu osemBhalweni ongokoqobo.

Khumbula ekuqaleni kwendaba, uSathane wavela neqembu elikhulu lezingelosi. IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi izingelosi zifunde ngoNkulunkulu kithi (kwabase-Efesu 3: 10 & 11). Khumbula futhi, ukuthi kukhona ukungqubuzana okukhulu okwenzekayo.

Uma “sidicilela phansi uNkulunkulu,” lapho sithi uNkulunkulu akanabulungiswa futhi akanabulungisa futhi akanaluthando, sisuke simhlazisa phambi kwazo zonke izingelosi. Sibiza uNkulunkulu ngomqambimanga. Khumbula uSathane, ensimini yase-Edene wadicilela phansi uNkulunkulu ku-Eva, okusho ukuthi wayengenabulungisa futhi engenabulungisa futhi engenalo uthando. Ekugcineni uJobe naye wenza okufanayo nathi. Sihlazisa uNkulunkulu phambi komhlaba naphambi kwezingelosi. Kunalokho kumele simdumise. Sisohlangothini lukabani? Ukuzikhethela kungokwethu kuphela.

UJobe wenza ukukhetha kwakhe, waphenduka, okungukuthi, washintsha umqondo wakhe ngokuthi uNkulunkulu wayengubani, waba nokuqonda okukhulu ngoNkulunkulu nokuthi wayehlobene nobani noNkulunkulu. Uthe esahlukweni 42, amavesi 3 no-5: “Impela ngakhuluma ngezinto ebengingaziqondi, izinto ezimangalisa kakhulu ukuba ngizazi… kepha manje amehlo ami akubonile. Ngakho-ke ngiyazidelela futhi ngiphenduka othulini nasemlotheni. ” UJobe wabona ukuthi “wayephikisana” noMninimandla onke futhi lokho kwakungeyona indawo yakhe.

Bheka ekugcineni kwendaba. UNkulunkulu wamukela ukuvuma kwakhe izono wambuyisela futhi wambusisa kabili. UJobe 42: 10 & 12 uthi, "INkosi yamphinda futhi yamuphumelelisa futhi yamupha okuphindwe kabili kunalokho ayenakho ngaphambili… INkosi yabusisa ingxenye yokugcina yempilo kaJobe ukwedlula eyokuqala."

Uma sifuna uNkulunkulu futhi silwa futhi "sicabanga ngaphandle kolwazi," nathi kufanele sicele uNkulunkulu ukuba asithethelele futhi "sihambe ngokuthobekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu" (uMika 6: 8). Lokhu kuqala ngokubona kwethu ukuthi Unobudlelwano nobani, futhi sikholwe iqiniso njengoba kwenza uJobe. Ikhorasi ethandwayo esekelwe kumaRoma 8:28 ithi, "Zonke izinto uzenzela thina." Umbhalo uthi ukuhlupheka kunenhloso yobuNkulunkulu futhi uma kungukusijezisa, kuzuzisa thina. Mina John 1: 7 ngithi "hamba ekukhanyeni," okuyiZwi laKhe elembuliwe, iZwi likaNkulunkulu.

Uyabuza, “Kungani ngingalizwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu? Umbuzo omkhulu futhi othembekile lowo. Okokuqala, kufanele ube ngumKristu, omunye wabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ukuze uyiqonde kahle imiBhalo. Lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele ukholwe ukuthi uJesu unguMsindisi, owafa esiphambanweni ukukhokha inhlawulo yezono zethu. AbaseRoma 3: 23 isho ngokusobala ukuthi sonke sonile kanti uRoma 6:23 uthi inhlawulo yesono sethu ukufa - ukufa ngokomoya okusho ukuthi sehlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu. Funda I Peter 2: 24; U-Isaya 53 noJohn 3: 16 othi, "Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa (ukuba ife esiphambanweni endaweni yethu) ukuze noma ngubani okholwa kuye angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade." Ongakholwayo akaliqondi ngokweqiniso iZwi likaNkulunkulu, ngoba akakabi nawo uMoya kaNkulunkulu. Uyabona, lapho samukela noma samukela uKristu, uMoya wakhe uza ukuhlala ezinhliziyweni zethu futhi into eyodwa ayenzayo ukusifundisa nokusisiza siqonde iZwi likaNkulunkulu. I KwabaseKorinte 2: 14 ithi, "Umuntu ongenawo uMoya akazemukeli izinto ezivela kuMoya kaNkulunkulu, ngoba ziwubuwula kuye, futhi akanakuziqonda, ngoba ziyaqondwa ngokomoya."

Uma samukela uKristu uNkulunkulu uthi sizalwe kabusha (Johane 3: 3-8). Siba ngabantwana baKhe futhi njengazo zonke izingane singena kule mpilo entsha siseyizingane futhi sidinga ukukhula. Asingeni kulo sivuthiwe, siliqonda lonke iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngokumangazayo, ku-I Peter 2: 2 (NKJB) uNkulunkulu uthi, "njengoba izingane ezisanda kuzalwa zifisa ubisi olumsulwa lwegama ukuze ukhule ngalo." Izingane ziqala ngobisi futhi zikhule kancane kancane zidle inyama ngakho-ke, thina njengamakholwa siqala njengezingane, singakuqondi konke, futhi sifunde kancane kancane. Izingane aziqali ukwazi izibalo, kepha ngokufaka okulula. Sicela ufunde I Peter 1: 1-8. Ithi sengeza okholweni lwethu. Siyakhula esimeni nasekuvuthweni ngolwazi lwethu ngoJesu ngeZwi. Abaholi abaningi abangamaKristu basikisela ukuqala ngeVangeli, ikakhulukazi uMark noma uJohane. Noma ungaqala ngoGenesise, izindaba zabalingiswa abakhulu bokholo abanjengoMose noma uJoseph noma u-Abrahama noSara.

Ngizokwabelana ngolwazi lwami. Ngiyethemba ngiyakusiza. Ungazami ukuthola incazelo ejulile noma eyindida evela emiBhalweni kepha mane uyithathe ngendlela engokoqobo, njengama-akhawunti wempilo yangempela noma njengezikhombisi-ndlela, njengalapho ithi thanda umakhelwane wakho noma isitha sakho, noma usifundise ukuthandaza . IZwi likaNkulunkulu lichazwa njengokukhanya ukuze lisiqondise. KuJakobe 1: 22 kuthiwa bangabenzi beZwi. Funda sonke isahluko ukuze uthole umbono. Uma iBhayibheli lithi thandaza - thandaza. Uma ithi nikeza abaswele, kwenze. UJames nezinye izincwadi zisebenza kakhulu. Basinika izinto eziningi okufanele sizilalele. Mina Johane ngikusho kanjena, “hambani ekukhanyeni.” Ngicabanga ukuthi wonke amakholwa athola ukuthi ukuqonda kunzima ekuqaleni, ngiyazi ukuthi ngenzile.

UJoshua 1: 8 namaPalms 1: 1-6 asitshela ukuthi sichithe isikhathi eZwini likaNkulunkulu futhi sizindle ngalo. Lokhu kumane kusho ukucabanga ngakho - hhayi ukugoqa izandla zakho ndawonye bese uhumusha umthandazo noma okuthile, kepha cabanga ngakho. Lokhu kungiletha kwesinye isiphakamiso engikuthola kuwusizo kakhulu, funda isihloko - thola i-concordance enhle noma ungene ku-inthanethi kwi-BibleHub noma i-BibleGateway bese ufunda isihloko esifana nomthandazo noma elinye igama noma isihloko esifana nensindiso, noma ubuze umbuzo bese ubheka impendulo Ngale ndlela.

Nakhu okushintshe ukucabanga kwami ​​futhi kwangivulela umBhalo ngendlela entsha ngokuphelele. UJames 1 uphinde afundise ukuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lifana nesibuko. Amavesi 23-25 ​​athi, “Noma ngubani olalela izwi kodwa angenzi elikushoyo kufana nomuntu obuka ubuso bakhe esibukweni bese, emva kokuzibuka, ahambe, akhohlwe masinyane ukuthi ubukeka kanjani. Kepha umuntu obhekisisa umthetho ophelele onika inkululeko, aqhubeke nokwenza lokhu, engakhohlwa lokho akuzwile, kodwa akwenze - uzobusiswa kulokho akwenzayo. ” Lapho ufunda iBhayibheli, libheke njengesibuko enhliziyweni nasemphefumulweni wakho. Zibone, ngokuhle noma ngokubi, bese wenza okuthile ngakho. Ngake ngafundisa ikilasi le-Vacation Bible School elibizwa ngokuthi Zibone eZwini LikaNkulunkulu. Bekuvuleka amehlo. Ngakho-ke, zibheke eZwini.

Njengoba ufunda ngomlingiswa noma ufunda indima uzibuze imibuzo futhi uthembeke. Buza imibuzo efana nokuthi: Wenzani lo mlingiswa? Ingabe kulungile noma akulungile? Ngimfana kanjani naye? Ingabe ngenza lokhu akwenzayo? Yini engidinga ukuyiguqula? Noma buza: Uthini uNkulunkulu kule ndima? Yini engingayenza kangcono? Kunezikhombisi-ndlela eziningi emBhalweni kunalokho esingakufeza. Le ndima ithi bangabenzi. Yiba matasa ngokwenza lokhu. Udinga ukucela uNkulunkulu ukuthi akuguqule. Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 3:18 iyisithembiso. Njengoba ubheka kuJesu uzofana Naye. Noma yini oyibonayo emBhalweni, yenza okuthile ngakho. Uma uhluleka, vuma uNkulunkulu bese umcela ukuthi akuguqule. Bheka I John 1: 9. Yile ndlela okhula ngayo.

Njengoba ukhula uzoqala ukuqonda ngokwengeziwe. Jabulela nje uthokoze ngokukhanya onakho uhambe kukho (ulalele) futhi uNkulunkulu uzokwembula izinyathelo ezilandelayo njengethoshi ebumnyameni. Khumbula ukuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu unguMfundisi wakho, ngakho-ke mcele akusize uqonde imiBhalo futhi akunike ukuhlakanipha.

Uma silalela futhi sitadisha futhi silifunda iZwi sizobona uJesu ngoba ukulo lonke iZwi, kusukela ekuqaleni ekudalweni, kuya ezithembisweni zokuza kwakhe, ekugcwalisekeni kweTestamente Elisha kwalezo zithembiso, kuya emiyalweni yakhe ebandleni. Ngiyakuthembisa, noma ngithi uNkulunkulu uyakuthembisa, uzoguqula ukuqonda kwakho futhi azokuguqula ube ngomfanekiso wakhe - ufane Naye. Akuyona yini injongo yethu leyo? Futhi, iya esontweni uzwe izwi lapho.

Nasi isexwayiso: ungafundi izincwadi eziningi ngemibono yomuntu ngeBhayibheli noma ngemibono yomuntu ngeZwi, kodwa funda iZwi uqobo. Vumela uNkulunkulu akufundise. Enye into ebalulekile ukuhlola konke okuzwile noma okufundayo. KuzEnzo 17:11 amaBereans anconywa ngalokhu. Ithi, "Manje amaBereans ayenesimilo esihle ukwedlula abaseThesalonika, ngoba bamukela umyalezo ngokulangazelela okukhulu futhi bahlola imiBhalo nsuku zonke ukubona ukuthi lokhu okushiwo nguPawulu kuyiqiniso yini." Baze bahlola nokushiwo nguPaul, futhi isilinganiso sabo kuphela kwakuyiZwi likaNkulunkulu, iBhayibheli. Kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi sihlole konke esikufundayo noma esikuzwayo ngoNkulunkulu, ngokukuhlola ngomBhalo. Khumbula le yinqubo. Kuthatha iminyaka ukuthi umntwana abe mdala.

Sikholelwa ku-Creation ngoba imiBhalo, hhayi nje kuGenesise izahluko 20 no-11, iyifundisa ngokusobala. Abanye bangathi lo mbhalo unegunya lapho ukhuluma ngokukholwa nokuziphatha, kepha hhayi lapho ukhuluma ngesayensi nomlando. Ukuze basho lokho, kufanele bangayinaki enye yezindima ezisobala ngokuziphatha, iMiyalo Eyishumi. U-Eksodusi XNUMX:XNUMX uthi, “Ngoba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho, kepha waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, walungcwelisa. ”

Kumele futhi bangawanaki amazwi kaJesu akuMathewu 19: 4-6. Ithi, “Awufundanga yini,” waphendula wathi, “ekuqaleni uMdali 'wabenza owesilisa nowesifazane,' wathi, 'Ngenxa yalesi sizathu indoda izoshiya uyise nonina ihlangane nomkayo , futhi laba ababili bayoba nyamanye '? Ngakho abasebabili, kodwa sebenyamanye. Ngakho-ke lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlanganisileyo makungahlukaniswa muntu. ” UJesu ucaphuna uGenesise ngokuqondile.

Noma cabanga ngamazwi kaPawulu kuzEnzo 17: 24-26. Uthe, “uNkulunkulu owenza umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo uyiNkosi yezulu nomhlaba futhi akahlali emathempelini akhiwe ngezandla zomuntu… Ukusuka kumuntu munye wenza zonke izizwe, ukuthi zihlale emhlabeni wonke.” UPaul futhi uthi kwabaseRoma 5:12, “Ngalokho-ke njengokuba isono sangena ezweni ngamuntu munye, nangesono kwangena ukufa, futhi ngale ndlela ukufa kweza kubantu bonke, ngoba bonke bonile -”

Ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kubhubhisa isisekelo lapho icebo losindiso lakhiwe khona. Kwenza ukufa kube yindlela okwenziwa ngayo inqubekela phambili yokuziphendukela kwemvelo, hhayi umphumela wesono. Futhi uma ukufa kungesona isijeziso sesono, pho ukufa kukaJesu kungakhokhela kanjani isono?

 

Sikholelwa ekudalweni futhi ngoba sikholelwa ukuthi amaqiniso esayensi ayakusekela ngokusobala. Izingcaphuno ezilandelayo zivela KU-THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES, uCharles Darwin, ephrintwe kabusha yiHarvard University Press, ngo-1964.

Page 95 “Ukuzikhethela kwemvelo kungenza kuphela ngokulondolozwa nokuqoqelwa kokulungiswa okuncane okuzuzwe njengefa, ngakunye kunenzuzo kulokho okulondoloziwe.”

Page 189 “Uma kungakhonjiswa kunanoma isiphi isitho esiyinkimbinkimbi esikhona, ebesingenakwenzeka ukuba sakhiwe ngokushintshwa okuningana, okulandelanayo, umbono wami ubungafa ngokuphelele.”

Page 194 “ngokukhetha kwemvelo kungenza kuphela ngokusebenzisa ngokunenzuzo ukuhluka okulandelanayo okulandelanayo; akasoze agxume, kodwa kumele adlulele phambili ngezinyathelo ezifushane futhi ezihamba kancane. ”

Page 282 “inani lezixhumanisi eziphakathi nendawo nezesikhashana, phakathi kwazo zonke izinto eziphilayo nezingasekho, kufanele ukuthi lalilikhulu ngendlela engenakulinganiswa.”

Page 302 “Uma izinhlobo eziningi zezinhlobo ezifanayo, noma imindeni, seziqale kanyekanye empilweni, iqiniso belingaba yingozi emcabangweni wokwehla ngokushintshwa kancane kokukhethwa kwemvelo.”

Amakhasi 463 & 464 “ngalemfundiso yokuqothulwa kobukhulu bokuxhumana, phakathi kwabaphilayo nabaphilayo emhlabeni, nesikhathi ngasinye esilandelanayo phakathi kwezinhlobo zezilwane ezingasekho nezisezindala, kungani kungezona zonke izinhlobo zokwakheka komhlaba ezithweswe izixhumanisi ezinjalo? Kungani lonke iqoqo lezinto ezimbiwa phansi lingahlali linikeza ubufakazi obucacile bokubekwa phansi nokuguqulwa kwezinhlobo zokuphila? Sihlangana ngaphandle kwalobu bufakazi, futhi lokhu kucace bha futhi kuyaphoqa ekuphikiseni okuningi okunganxuswa kuphambene nombono wami… Ngiyakwazi ukuphendula le mibuzo nokuphikisa okukhulu kuphela ngombono wokuthi irekhodi lokwakheka komhlaba alinaphutha kakhulu kunabaningi bezazi zokwakheka komhlaba kholwa. ”

 

Ukucaphuna okulandelayo kuvela kuGG Simpson, Tempo kanye neModi ku-Evolution, Columbia University Press, eNew York, i-1944

Page 105 “Amalungu okuqala futhi akudala kakhulu kuwo wonke ama-oda asevele enezinhlamvu eziyisisekelo ze-odinali, futhi akukho cala ukulandelana okuqhubekayo okulandelanayo okusuka ku-oda elilodwa kuya kokunye okwaziwayo. Ezimweni eziningi leli khefu libukhali futhi igebe likhulu kangangokuba umsuka we-oda uqagela futhi uphikiswa kakhulu. ”

 

Amaphuzu alandelayo avela kuGG Simpson, Incazelo Yezinguquko, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1949

Ukungabikho njalo kwamafomu esikhashana akugcini kwizilwane ezincelisayo kuphela, kepha kuyinto eyenzeka cishe yonke indawo, njengoba kade kuphawulwa ngophenyo lwezazi. Kuyiqiniso cishe ngayo yonke imiyalo yazo zonke izigaba zezilwane. ”

“Kulokhu kunenkambiso yokwehluleka kokuhleleka emlandweni wokuphila. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi sithi lezo zinguquko azibhalwa ngoba bezingekho, ukuthi ushintsho aluzange lwenziwe ngenguquko kodwa lube khona ngokungazelelwe kokuvela kwemvelo. ”

 

Ngiyabona ukuthi lezo zingcaphuno zindala impela. Ukucaphuna okulandelayo kuvela ku-Evolution: A Theory in Crisis kaMichael Denton, Bethesda, Maryland, Adler no-Adler, 1986 obhekisa kuHoyle, F. noWickramasinghe, C, 1981, i-Evolution from Space, London, Dent and Sons ikhasi 24. "UHoyle noWickamansinghe… balinganisela ithuba lokuthi ingqamuzana ephilayo elula iqhamuke izivelela njengokuzama okungu-1 kwabayi-10 / 40,000 - ithuba elincanyana ngokuthukuthele ... kuyiqiniso, into encane kunazo zonke - iprotheni esebenzayo noma isakhi sofuzo - eyinkimbinkimbi ukudlula noma yini eyenziwe ukuhlakanipha komuntu? ”

 

Noma cabanga ngalesi sicaphuno esivela kuColin Patterson, isazi se-paleontologist esasebenza eBritish Museum of National History kusuka ngo-1962 kuya ku-1993, encwadini ayibhalele uLuther Sunderland. "Abantu baseGould nabaseMelika Museum kunzima ukuphikisana nabo uma bethi awekho amafosili esikhashana ... ngizoyibeka emgqeni - ayikho neyodwa ifossil enjalo umuntu angayiphikisa ngokungangeni manzi." UPatterson ucashunwe yiSunderland kwiDarwin's Enigma: Fossils and Other Problems. ULuther D Sunderland, San Diego, Master Books, 1988, ikhasi 89. UGould nguStephen J Gould, okwathi noNiles Eldridge, wakha i- “Punctuated Equilibrium Theory of Evolution” ukuze achaze ukuthi ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kwenzeka kanjani ngaphandle kokushiya noma yiziphi izinhlobo zesikhashana embhalweni wezinsalela.

 

Muva nje, u-Anthony Flew ngokubambisana noRoy Varghesem waphuma ngo-2007 nencwadi ethi: There is a God: How the World's Notorious Most Atheist Changed His Mind. UFlew wayeneminyaka eminingi mhlawumbe eyisazi sokuziphendukela kwemvelo esicashunwe kunabo bonke emhlabeni. Kule ncwadi, uFlew uthi kwakuyinkimbinkimbi emangalisayo yeseli lomuntu ikakhulukazi ye-DNA okwamphoqa ukuthi aphethe ngokuthi kukhona uMdali.

 

Ubufakazi bokuDalwa kanye nezinkulungwane zeminyaka, hhayi izigidigidi bunamandla kakhulu. Kodwa esikhundleni sokuzama ukwethula ubufakazi obengeziwe, ake ngikubhekisele kumawebhusayithi amabili lapho ungathola khona izihloko ezibhalwe ososayensi abaneziqu zobudokotela, noma iziqu ezilinganayo, abakholelwa kakhulu ekudalweni futhi abanganikeza izizathu zesayensi zalolo kholo ngendlela ethokozisayo.
