Ngambuza uJesu, "Ungithandi kangakanani?" Wathi, "Lokhu okuningi" futhi welule izandla Zakhe wafa. Wafela mina, isoni esonile! Wabuye wafela wena.

***

Ngobusuku ngaphambi kokufa kwami, wawungumqondo wami. Ngangifisa kanjani ukuba nobuhlobo nawe, ukuba ngichithe isikhathi esingunaphakade nawe ezulwini. Noma kunjalo, isono sahlukanisa wena noBaba Wami. Umhlatshelo wegazi elingenacala kwakudingeka ukuze ukhokhele izono zakho.

Ihora lase lifikile lapho ngizobeka impilo yami ngawe. Ngenhliziyo enzima ngaya ensimini ukuyokhuleka. Ekuhluphekeni komphefumulo ngifunga, njengokungathi, amaconsi egazi njengoba ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ... "... O Baba, uma kungenzeka, makwedlule le ndebe kimi; kepha kungabi njengokuthanda kwami, kodwa njengokuba uthanda. "~ UMathewu 26: 39

Ngesikhathi ngisesemasimini amasosha ayeza ukungibamba nakuba ngangingenacala kunoma yibuphi ubugebengu. Bangiletha phambi kwehholo likaPilatu. Ngimi phambi kwabamangaleli bami. Khona-ke uPilatu wangithatha wangishaya. Ukuzihlukanisa kunciphise emhlane wami njengoba ngithatha ukushaya. Khona-ke amasosha angihlwitha, ngifaka ingubo ebomvu kimi. Bafaka umqhele wameva ekhanda lami. Igazi lageleza ebusweni bami ... kwakungekho ubuhle ukuthi kufanele ungifise.

Khona-ke amasosha angihlambalaza, athi, "Woo, Nkosi yamaJuda! Bangiletha phambi kwesixuku esikhulu, bememeza bathi, "Mbethele esiphambanweni. Mbethele. "Ngimi lapho ngithule, ngigazi, ngilimele futhi ngishaywe. Walimala ngenxa yeziphambeko zakho, wachitheka ngenxa yobubi bakho. Ukuhlaziywa nokulahlwa kwamadoda.

UPilatu wazama ukungikhulula kodwa wangena ekucindezelweni kwesixuku. Wathi kuye: "Mthathe, nimbethele; ngokuba angitholi lutho oluphambene naye." Khona-ke wangikhulula ukuba ngibethelwe esiphambanweni.

Ube engqondweni yami lapho ngithwala isiphambano sami phezu kwegquma elingenalutho kuya eGolgotha. Ngawela phansi kwesisindo sayo. Kwakuwuthando lwami ngawe, nokwenza intando kaBaba kaYe wanginika amandla okuthwala ngaphansi komthwalo wayo onzima. Lapho, ngithwale izinsizi zakho futhi ngithwale izinsizi zakho ezibeka impilo yami ngenxa yesono sabantu.

Amasosha ahlekisa ngokunikeza ukushaya okukhulu kwesando sokushayela izipikili ngokujulile ezandleni nasezinyaweni zami. Uthando lubopha izono zakho esiphambanweni, ungalokothi uphinde uphathwe. Bangihlambalaza futhi bangishiya ngafa. Noma kunjalo, abazange bathathe impilo yami. Nginikela ngokuzithandela.

Isibhakabhaka saba mnyama. Ngisho ilanga layeka ukukhanya. Umzimba wami wanyunywe ngobuhlungu obukhulu uthatha isisindo sesono sakho futhi wathwala isijeziso ukuze ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lugcwaliseke.

Lapho zonke izinto zenziwa. Nginikele umoya wami ezandleni zikaBaba, futhi ngiphefumula amazwi ami okugcina, "Kuphelile." Ngakhothama ikhanda lami ngilahla umoya.

Ngiyakuthanda ... uJesu.

"Akekho umuntu onothando olukhulu kunalokhu, ukuthi umuntu ubeka ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe." ~ John 15: 13

Umphefumulo Othandekayo,

Namuhla umgwaqo kungenzeka ubonakale ukhululekile, futhi uzizwa uwedwa. Othile omethembayo uye wakudumaza. UNkulunkulu ubona izinyembezi zakho. Uzwa ubuhlungu bakho. Uyakulangazelela ukukududuza, ngoba Ungumngane obambelela kunomzalwane.

UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda kakhulu kangangokuthi wathumela iNdodana yakhe yedwa, uJesu, ukuba afe endaweni yakho. Uzokuthethelela zonke izono ozenzile, uma uzimisele ukushiya izono zakho uphenduke kuzo.

UmBhalo uthi, "... Angizange ngibize abalungileyo, kodwa izoni ekuphendukeni." ~ Mark 2: 17b

Umphefumulo, okufaka wena nawe.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uwile kangakanani emgodini, umusa kaNkulunkulu uphakeme kakhulu. Imiphefumulo engcolile ephilile, Weza ukuzogcina. Uzothola phansi isandla sakhe ukuze abambe eyakho.

Mhlawumbe ufana nalesi soni esiwile esiza kuJesu, sazi ukuthi Nguye ongasisindisa. Izinyembezi zigeleza ebusweni bakhe, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zaKhe ngezinyembezi zakhe, futhi wazesula ngezinwele zakhe. Wathi, “Izono zakhe, eziningi, zithethelelwe…” Mphefumulo, Angakusho lokho ngawe kulobubusuku na?

Mhlawumbe uke wabuka izithombe ezingcolile wazizwa unamahloni, noma uphingile futhi ufuna ukuthethelelwa. UJesu ofanayo omthetheleleyo nawe uzokuthethelela kulobubusuku.

Mhlawumbe ucabanga ngokunikela impilo yakho kuKristu, kodwa uyibeke ngenxa yezizathu ezithile. "Namuhla uma nizwa izwi lakhe, ningazinzima izinhliziyo zenu." ~ AmaHeberu 4: 7b

UmBhalo uthi, "Ngoba bonke bonile, futhi bafinyeleleka enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu." ~ Roma 3: 23

"Uma uvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uyiNkosi uJesu, futhi ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, uyakusindiswa." ~ KwabaseRoma 10: 9

Ungalali ngaphandle kukaJesu uze uqinisekiswe indawo ezulwini.

Namuhla, uma ungathanda ukuthola isipho sokuphila okuphakade, okokuqala kumelwe ukholwe eNkosini. Kufanele ucele izono zakho zithethelelwe futhi ufake ithemba lakho eNkosini. Ukuze ube ikholwa eNkosini, cela ukuphila okuphakade. Kukhona indlela eyodwa kuphela yokuya ezulwini, futhi lokho kuvela eNkosini uJesu. Lona uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu oluhle lokusindiswa.

Ungaqala ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu noYe ngokuthandaza kusuka enhliziyweni yakho umthandazo njengalokhu okulandelayo:

"O Nkulunkulu, ngisoni. Ngiye ngisoni sonke impilo yami. Ngithethelele, Nkosi. Ngamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi wami. Ngiyamethemba njengeNkosi yami. Siyabonga ngokungisindisa. Egameni likaJesu, Amen. "

Ngabe ubucabanga ukuthi kukhona amandla aphakeme noma cha? Amandla akha i-Universe nakho konke okukuwo. Amandla angathathanga lutho futhi adala umhlaba, isibhakabhaka, amanzi, nezinto eziphilayo? Isitshalo esilula kakhulu sivelaphi? Isidalwa esiyinkimbinkimbi… indoda? Nginenkinga yombuzo iminyaka. Ngafuna impendulo kwezesayensi.

Impela impendulo ingatholwa ngokufunda lezi zinto nxazonke ezisimangazayo futhi ezisimangazayo. Impendulo bekufanele ibe engxenyeni yemizuzu eminingi kunazo zonke izidalwa nento. I-athomu! Umnyombo wempilo kumele utholakale lapho. Kwakungeyona. Ayitholakalanga ezintweni zenuzi noma kuma-electron ajikeleza nxazonke. Kwakungekho esikhaleni esingenalutho esakha konke esingakwazi ukukuthinta nokukubona.

Zonke lezi zinkulungwane zeminyaka yokubheka futhi akekho noyedwa othole ingqikithi yokuphila ngaphakathi kwezinto ezijwayelekile ezisizungezile. Ngangazi ukuthi kufanele kube namandla, amandla, ayekwenza konke lokhu okuzungezile. KwakunguNkulunkulu? Kulungile, kungani engazivezi kimi? Kungani kungenjalo? Uma lamandla enguNkulunkulu ophilayo kungani yonke imfihlakalo? Bekungeke yini kube nengqondo eyengeziwe ukuthi Yena athi, Kulungile, ngilapha. Ngikwenze konke lokhu. Manje qhubeka nebhizinisi lakho. ”

Kuze kwaba yilapho ngihlangana nowesifazane okhethekile engaya kuye ngokunganqikazi esifundweni seBhayibheli lapho ngaqala khona ukukuqonda noma yikuphi kwalokhu. Abantu lapho babefunda imiBhalo futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kumele ngabe bafuna into efanayo nengangiyiyo, kepha abakayitholi okwamanje. Umholi waleli qembu wafunda isiqeshana eBhayibhelini esasibhalwe indoda eyayikade izonda amaKrestu kodwa yaguqulwa. Ishintshwe ngendlela emangalisayo. Igama lakhe kwakunguPaul futhi wabhala,

Ngoba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; nalokhu akuveli kini: kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu: Akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo. ” ~ Kwabase-Efesu 2: 8-9

Lawo mazwi “umusa” nelithi “ukholo” angithandile. Babeqonde ukuthini ngempela? Kamuva ngalobo busuku wangicela ukuba ngiyobuka imuvi, impela wangikhohlisa ukuthi ngiye ebhayisikobho yamaKristu. Ekupheleni kombukiso bekukhona umyalezo omfushane kaBilly Graham. Nangu-ke, engumfana wasepulazini waseNyakatho Carolina, engichazela yona kanye into ebekade ngilwa nayo sonke isikhathi. Uthe, “Awukwazi ukuchaza uNkulunkulu ngokwesayensi, ngokwefilosofi, noma ngenye indlela ebucayi. “Kumele ukholelwe nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungokoqobo.

Kufanele ube nokukholwa ukuthi lokho akushoyo wakwenza njengoba kubhaliwe eBhayibhelini. Ukuthi wadala izulu nomhlaba, nokuthi wadala izitshalo nezilwane, nokuthi konke lokhu wakusho kwaba khona njengoba kubhaliwe encwadini kaGenesise eBhayibhelini. Ukuthi Waphefumulela impilo ibe yifomu engaphili futhi yaba ngumuntu. Ukuthi wayefuna ukuba nobudlelwano obusondelene nabantu Abadalile ngakho-ke wathatha isimo sendoda eyayiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu futhi eza emhlabeni yahlala phakathi kwethu. Le Ndoda, uJesu, wakhokha isikweletu sesono kulabo abazokholwa ngokubethelwa esiphambanweni.

Kungenzeka kanjani kube lula kangaka? Kholwa nje? Ukholwe ukuthi konke lokhu bekuyiqiniso? Ngaya ekhaya ngalobo busuku ngathola ubuthongo obuncane. Ngilwe nendaba yokuthi uNkulunkulu unginike umusa - ngokukholwa ukuze ngikholwe. Ukuthi wayengamandla lawo, leyo ngqikithi yempilo nokudalwa kwakho konke okwake kwaba khona nanamuhla. Wabe eseza kimi. Ngangazi ukuthi kufanele ngikholwe nje. Kwakungomusa kaNkulunkulu ukuthi wangikhombisa uthando Lwakhe. Ukuthi wayeyimpendulo nokuthi wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, uJesu, ukuba izongifela ukuze ngikholwe. Ukuthi ngibe nobudlelwano Naye. Waziveza kimi ngalowo mzuzu.

Ngimshayele ucingo ngamtshela ukuthi sengiyaqonda manje. Lokho manje ngiyakholelwa futhi ngifuna ukunikela ngempilo yami kuKristu. Ungitshele ukuthi uthandazile ukuthi ngingalali ngize ngithathe lokho kweqa kokholo ngikholwe kuNkulunkulu. Impilo yami yaguqulwa unomphela. Yebo, kuze kube phakade, ngoba manje sengingabuka ukuchitha ingunaphakade endaweni enhle ebizwa ngezulu.

Angisazikhathazi ngobufakazi obudingayo bokufakazela ukuthi uJesu wayekwazi ukuhamba phezu kwamanzi, noma ukuthi uLwandle Olubomvu lwalungahle luhlukane ukuvumela ama-Israyeli ukuthi adlule, noma eminye yemicimbi ebonakala ingenakwenzeka ebhalwe eBhayibhelini.

UNkulunkulu uzibonakalise kaninginingi empilweni yami. Angaziveza nakuwe. Uma uzithola ufuna ubufakazi bokuthi ukhona, mcele aziveze kuwe. Thatha lokho kweqa kokholo useyingane, futhi ukholwe kuye ngokweqiniso. Zivulele uthando Lwakhe ngokukholwa, hhayi ubufakazi.

Ukuphila kuleli zwe eliwile ngezinhlungu, ukudumazeka nokuhlupheka, silangazelela izulu! Amehlo ethu akhuphukela phezulu lapho umoya wethu uhambile ekhaya lethu laphakade enkazimulweni ukuthi iNkosi uqobo ilungiselela labo abamthandayo.

INkosi ihlele umhlaba omusha ukuba ube muhle kakhulu, ngaphezu kwalokho esikucabangayo.

Yindawo enhle kakhulu ukuthi ayinakuchazwa. Uma ungathanda ukuya ezulwini uchithe ubuphakade noNkulunkulu, zivuma kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uyisoni esifanelwe nesihogo futhi wemukele iNkosi uJesu Kristu njengoMsindisi wakho.

Ngubani kithi ongakhalanga ethuneni lomuntu amthandayo,
noma belilele ukulahlekelwa kwabo ngemibuzo eminingi kangaka engaphenduliwe? Sizokwazi yini abathandekayo bethu ezulwini? Sizophinde sibone ubuso babo futhi?

Ukufa kuyabuhlungu ngokuhlukaniswa kwayo, kunzima kulabo esishiya ngemuva. Labo abathanda kakhulu bavame ukulila ngokujulile, bezwa ubuhlungu besitulo sabo esingenalutho.

Noma kunjalo, siyabuhlungu ngalabo abalala kuJesu, kodwa hhayi njengalabo abangenalo ithemba. ImiBhalo iboshwe ngenduduzo engekhona nje kuphela esiyokwazi abathandekayo bethu ezulwini, kodwa sizobe kanye nabo.

Nakuba sidabukisa ukulahlekelwa ngabathandekayo bethu, siyoba nokuphakade ukuba sibe nalabo abaseNkosini. Umsindo ozwakalayo wezwi labo uzokhipha igama lakho. Ngakho-ke siyobe siseNkosini.

Kuthiwani ngabathandekayo bethu abangase bafe ngaphandle kukaJesu? Uzobona ubuso babo futhi? Ubani owazi ukuthi abazange bamethembe uJesu ngezikhathi zabo zokugcina? Singaze sazi ngaloluhlangothi lwezulu.

"Ngokuba ngicabanga ukuthi ukuhlupheka kwale nkathi yamanje akufanelanga ukufaniswa nenkazimulo ezokwembulwa kithi. ~ AmaRoma 8: 18

"Ngokuba iNkosi ngokwayo iyakwehhla ezulwini ngokumemeza ngezwi lengelosi enkulu nangecilongo likaNkulunkulu; abafileyo bakaKristu bayakuvuka kuqala;

Khona-ke thina esiphila futhi sihlala siyobanjwa kanye nabo emafwini ukuze sihlangabezane neNkosi emoyeni; ngakho-ke siyobe sesinabo iNkosi. Ngakho-ke duduzana ngalawa magama. "~ 1 Thesalonika 4: 16-18

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, aze asiyele, ukuthi sithandaze. Usifundisa nokuthi sithandaze kanjani kuMathewu isahluko 6. Ku-I Johane 5:14, ivesi lapho uNkulunkulu esiqinisekisa khona ngempilo yethu yaphakade, leli vesi liyaqhubeka lisiqinisekisa ukuthi singaba nethemba lokuthi uma "sicela noma yini entandweni yakhe uyasizwa, ”futhi uyasiphendula. Ngakho qhubeka uthandaze; kuyisenzo sokholo. Thandaza, noma ungathandazi bazizwa ngathi Uyezwa noma kubonakala sengathi akunampendulo. Lesi yisibonelo sokuthi ukholo kwesinye isikhathi luphikisana kanjani nemizwa. Umthandazo uyisinyathelo esisodwa sohambo lwethu lokholo.

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 uvele uthi "kholwa" ngaphandle kokukutshela ini ukuba nokholo ku, njengokungathi yilokho okukulo futhi kuqobo, nje uhlobo oluthile lwento wena kholelwa entweni. Ukholelwa entweni, akukho lutho noma yini, noma yini ekwenza uzizwe umuhle. Akuchazeki, ngoba abachazi ukuthi bachaza ukuthini. Yizenzele yona, indalo yabantu, ayihambisani, iyadida futhi ayifinyeleleki ngokungenathemba.

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 angazinakekela ngoba siyazi ukuthi uyasikhathalela futhi uyasithanda. Siyamethemba uNkulunkulu ngoba siyamazi. Funda u-2 Peter 1: 2-7, ikakhulukazi ivesi 2. Lokhu ukukholwa. La mavesi athi umusa nokuthula kuza ngelethu ulwazi kaNkulunkulu 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 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 & 21. Kusho ukuthi ngoba unguMdali wethu futhi ngoba, unguNkulunkulu, kufanelekile ukuthi simfanele Udumo futhi udumo nenkazimulo. Ithi, "Kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba, izimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu ezingabonakali - amandla akhe angunaphakade nobunkulunkulu bakhe nature - kubonwe ngokusobala, kuyaqondakala ngokwenziwe, ukuze abantu bangabi nazaba. Ngoba noma babemazi 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 nalo lithi, “Singabantu Akhe abantu, the izimvu of Idlelo 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 isiyalela ukuthi simnikeze 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 iNkosi ngoba Wayala futhi zadalwa, ”futhi evesini 11 lisitshela ukuthi ngubani okufanele amdumise," Wonke amakhosi omhlaba nabantu bonke, "futhi ivesi 13 liyanezela," Ngoba igama lakhe lodwa liphakeme. "

Ukwenza izinto zigcizelele abaseKolose 1:16 ithi, “zonke izinto zadalwa nguye futhi ngaYe”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, zikhona.” 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 Petru 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 bonke abantu ukusindiswa nokufinyelela 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 ibonisa Uthando lwakhe kithi, ukuthi 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," 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 . ”

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 sivuma (sivuma) wethu izono, Uthembekile futhi ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono zethu futhi asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi. ”

We kumele ukhethe ukuvuma isono sethu kuNkulunkulu ngakho-ke uma singatholi ukuthethelelwa kuyiphutha lethu, hhayi elikaNkulunkulu. 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.

Enye yezinkolelo zokuqala ezingalungile kuwukuthi amabhere 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 zihlale noma ziluphawu lokuthi uNkulunkulu uyajabula 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 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: XNUMX 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 ngaleso sikhathi kuvumela uSathane ukuhlupha uJobe ukuvivinya uthando nokuthembeka kwakhe Kuye. Funda isahluko 1: 21 & 22. 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-2: 10, "sizokwamukela okuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu hhayi ubunzima." Ithi ku-2: 10, "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 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, faka isithombe. Ngingabheka kuphela kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ngabo, futhi ngithi qaphela ukuthi ungahluleli abanye, njengoba bahlulela uJobe. UNkulunkulu wabasola. UJobe 42: 7 & 8 uthi, “Emva kokuba uJehova eseshilo lezi zinto kuJobe, wathi ku-Elifazi umThemani, 'Ngingu uthukuthele 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 ngalokhu ababekwenzile, 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 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 wakwenza lokhu ngokumangalela uNkulunkulu (Jobe 40: 8). Esahlukweni 29 uJobe uyangabaza, ebhekisa ekubusisweni nguNkulunkulu esikhathini esedlule futhi wathi uNkulunkulu akasenaye. Kucishe kube sengathi he 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 Akhe imibuzo. Ivesi 3 lithi, “Ngizobuza wena futhi uzophendula me. ” 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 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 nangokuzithoba. Uyabona futhi ezwe zonke izidingo nezicelo ngaphambi kokuba sibuze, ngakho-ke abantu bayabuza, "Kungani ubuza, kungani uthandaza?" Ngicabanga ukuthi siyacela futhi sithandaze ukuze sibone ukuthi ukhona futhi Ungokoqobo futhi Yena enza sizwe futhi usiphendule ngoba uyasithanda. Muhle kakhulu. Njengoba amaRoma 8:28 esho, Uhlala enza okuhle kakhulu kithi.

Esinye isizathu esingasitholi isicelo sethu ukuthi asiceli Akhe kuzokwenziwa, 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 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.

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. ”

Ezimweni eziningi leli khefu libukhali futhi igebe likhulu kangangokuba umsuka we-oda uqagela futhi uphikiswa kakhulu. ”

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 bendalo nezinkulungwane, hhayi izigidigidi zeminyaka buqine kakhulu. Kepha kunokuba ngizame ukwethula obunye ubufakazi, ake ngikubhekise kumawebhusayithi amabili lapho ungathola khona izindatshana zososayensi abaneziqu ze-PhD, noma ama-degree alinganayo, abakholelwa ngokuqinile ekudalweni futhi abanganikeza izizathu zesayensi zaleyo nkolelo ngendlela ephoqelelayo.
