Ukuphendula umbuzo wakho, abantu abakholelwa kuJesu Kristu, elungiselelweni lakhe lokusindiswa kwethu baya ezulwini bayoba noNkulunkulu futhi abangakholwa bagwetshelwe isijeziso saphakade. UJohn 3: 36 uthi, "Lowo okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade, kepha owenqaba iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe,"

Uma ufa umphefumulo nomoya wakho kuyawushiya umzimba wakho. UGenesise 35:18 usikhombisa lokhu lapho kukhulunywa ngokufa kukaRaheli, ethi, "njengoba umphefumulo wakhe wawusuka (ngoba wafa)." Lapho umzimba ufa, umphefumulo nomoya kuyasuka kodwa akupheli ukuba khona. Kucace bha kuMathewu 25: 46 ukuthi kwenzekani emva kokufa, lapho, lapho kukhulunywa ngabangalungile, kuthi, "laba bayoya ekujezisweni okuphakade, kepha abalungileyo baye ekuphileni okuphakade."

UPaul, lapho efundisa amakholwa, wathi isikhathi lapho "singekho emzimbeni sikhona neNkosi" (I KwabaseKorinte 5: 8). Ngesikhathi uJesu evuka kwabafileyo, waya koba noNkulunkulu uBaba (Johane 20:17). Lapho ethembisa impilo efanayo kithina, siyazi ukuthi kuzoba khona nokuthi sizoba Naye.

KuLuka 16: 22-31 sibona i-akhawunti yendoda ecebile noLazaru. Indoda empofu eyayilungile yayiseceleni “kuka-Abrahama” kodwa indoda ecebile yaya eHayidesi futhi yayinobuhlungu obukhulu. Evesini 26 siyabona ukuthi kwakukhona igebe elikhulu elilungisiwe phakathi kwabo ukuze kuthi lapho lapho umuntu ongalungile angakwazi ukudlulela ezulwini. Evesini 28 kukhulunywa ngeHayidesi njengendawo yokuhlushwa.

KwabaseRoma 3:23 ithi, "bonke bonile futhi basilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu." UHezekeli 18: 4 no-20 bathi, “umphefumulo (futhi uqaphele ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi umphefumulo ngomuntu) owonayo uyakufa… ububi bomubi buzoba kuye.” (Ukufa ngalo mqondo emiBhalweni, njengakwiSambulo 20: 10,14 & 15, akukhona ukufa komzimba kepha ukwahlukana noNkulunkulu ingunaphakade nokujeziswa kwaphakade njengoba kubonwe kuLuka 16. AmaRoma 6:23 athi, "inkokhelo yesono ingukufa," noMathewu 10:28 uthi, “Mesabeni Lowo okwazi ukubhubhisa umphefumulo nomzimba esihogweni.”

Ngakho-ke, ubani ongangena ezulwini abe noNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade njengoba sonke siyizoni ezingalungile. Singasindiswa kanjani noma sihlengwe esijezisweni sokufa? AmaRoma 6:23 nawo anikeza impendulo. UNkulunkulu uyasisiza, ngoba uthi, “isipho sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.” Funda u-1 Petru 1:1-9. Lapha sinoPetru exoxa ngendlela amakholwa athole ngayo ifa “elingenakubhubha, lonakale noma linyamalale – eligcinwe phakade ezulwini” (Ivesi 4 NIV). UPetru ukhuluma ngendlela ukukholwa kuJesu okuphumela ngayo “ekutholeni umphumela wokholo, ukusindiswa komphefumulo wakho” (ivesi 9). (Bheka futhi uMathewu 26:28.) KwabaseFilipi 2:8 & 9 kusitshela ukuthi wonke umuntu kumelwe avume ukuthi uJesu, owathi ulingana noNkulunkulu, “uyiNkosi” futhi kumelwe akholelwe ukuthi wabafela (Johane 3:16; Mathewu 27:50).

UJesu wathi kuJohane 14: 6, “Mina ngiyindlela, neQiniso nokuPhila; Akekho ongeza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuthi eze ngami. ” AmaHubo 2:12 athi, "Qabulani iNdodana, funa Ithukuthele, nibhubhe endleleni."

Izigaba eziningi eTestamenteni Elisha zithi ukholo lwethu kuJesu “ukulalela iqiniso” noma “ukulalela ivangeli,” okusho “ukukholwa eNkosini uJesu.” 1 Petru 1:22 ithi, “nihlanzile imiphefumulo yenu ngokulalela iqiniso ngoMoya.” Kwabase-Efesu 1:13 kuthi, “Nani namethemba kuye , ngemva kokuzwa izwi leqiniso, ivangeli lensindiso yenu, enakholwa kuye, nabekwa uphawu ngoMoya oNgcwele wesithembiso.” (Funda futhi amaRoma 10:15 namaHebheru 4:2.)

IVangeli (elisho izindaba ezinhle) limenyezelwe ku-I KwabaseKorinte 15: 1-3. Ithi, “Bazalwane, nginitshela ivangeli enganishumayeza lona, ​​enalamukela futhi… lokuthi uKristu wafela izono zethu njengokwemibhalo, nokuthi wangcwatshwa nokuthi wavuka ngosuku lwesithathu…” uJesu kusho kuMathewu 26:28, “Ngoba lokhu kuyigazi lami lesivumelwano elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono.” U-I Peter 2:24 (NASB) uthi, "Yena uqobo wathwala izono zethu ngomzimba wakhe esiphambanweni." UThimothewu 2: 6 uthi, "Wanikela ngempilo yaKhe njengesihlengo sabo bonke." UJobe 33:24 uthi, "mbambe angehli aye egodini, ngimtholele isihlengo." (Funda u-Isaya 53: 5, 6, 8, 10.)

UJohn 1: 12 usitshela okufanele sikwenze, "kepha bonke abamamukelayo wabanika igunya lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ngisho nakulabo abakholwa egameni lakhe." KwabaseRoma 10:13 kuthi, "Noma ngubani obiza igama leNkosi uyosindiswa." UJohn 3: 16 uthi noma ngubani okholwa kuye "unokuphila okuphakade." UJohane 10:28 uthi, “Ngizinika ukuphila okuphakade futhi azisoze zabhubha naphakade.” KuzEnzo 16:36 kubuzwa umbuzo othi, "Kumele ngenzeni ukuze ngisindiswe?" waphendula wathi: "Kholwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu, uyakusindiswa." UJohn 20: 31 uthi, "lokhu kulotshiwe ukuze nikholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKristu nokuthi ekukholweni nibe nokuphila egameni lakhe."

Umbhalo ukhombisa ubufakazi bokuthi imiphefumulo yalabo abakholwayo izoba seZulwini noJesu. KuSambulo 6: 9 kanye no-20: 4 imiphefumulo yabafel 'ukholo abalungileyo yabonwa nguJohane ezulwini. Sibona futhi kuMathewu 17: 2 nakuMark 9: 2 lapho uJesu athatha khona uPetru, uJakobe noJohane futhi wabakhuphula intaba ephakeme lapho uJesu aguqulwa khona phambi kwabo noMose no-Eliya babonakala kubo futhi bekhuluma noJesu. Babengaphezu nje komoya, ngoba abafundi babazi futhi babephila. KwabaseFilipi 1: 20-25 uPaul uyabhala, "ukumuka futhi ube noKristu, ngoba lokho kungcono kakhulu." AmaHeberu 12:22 akhuluma ngezulu lapho lithi, “nize eNtabeni iZiyoni nasemzini kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, iJerusalema lasezulwini, ezinkulungwaneni zezingelosi, emhlanganweni omkhulu nasesontweni (igama elinikezwe wonke amakholwa lamazibulo abhaliswe ezulwini. ”

Kwabase-Efesu 1: 7 kuthi, “Kuye sinokuhlengwa ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kweziphambeko zethu, ngokwengcebo yomusa wakhe.”

IZwi likaNkulunkulu linoluhla olungapheli lwemiyalo nezikhuthazo zokuthi labo abalandela uMsindisi, uJesu, kufanele baphile kanjani: Imibhalo esitshela okufanele sikwenze, njengokuthi, kufanele siziphathe kanjani, kufanele sithande kanjani umakhelwane wethu kanye nezitha zethu, ukusiza abanye abantu noma ukuthi kufanele sikhulume kanjani nokuthi kufanele sicabange kanjani.

Lapho impilo yethu emhlabeni isiqediwe, thina (thina esikholelwa Kuye) sizoma phambi kwalowo owasifela futhi zonke izinto esizenzile zizokwahlulelwa. Izinga likaNkulunkulu lilodwa elizonquma ukubaluleka komcabango ngamunye, igama nesenzo esikwenzayo. UJesu uthi kuMathewu 5:48, "Ngakho-ke, yibani ngabaphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele."

Ingabe imisebenzi yethu yenzelwe thina: inkazimulo, injabulo noma ukuqashelwa noma inzuzo; noma ingabe yenzelwe uNkulunkulu nabanye? Ingabe lokho esikwenzile kwakuwubugovu noma kwakungebona ubugovu? Lesi sahlulelo sizokwenzeka eSihlalweni Sokwahlulela sikaKristu. Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5:8-10 yabhalelwa amakholwa ebandleni laseKorinte. Lesi sahlulelo singesalabo abakholwayo kuphela futhi abayoba neNkosi kuze kube phakade. Kweyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5:9 no-10 ithi, “Ngakho-ke sikwenza umgomo wethu ukumthokozisa. Ngokuba sonke kumelwe sivele phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu, ukuze yilowo nalowo kithi amukele okufaneleyo ngokwezinto azenzileyo esesemzimbeni, noma okuhle noma okubi.” Lesi isahlulelo semisebenzi kanye nezisusa zayo.

Isihlalo Sokwahlulela SikaKristu AKUSIKHO mayelana nokuthi siya ezulwini yini. Akusikho mayelana nokuthi sisindisiwe noma ukuthi izono zethu zithethelelwe. Sithethelelwa futhi sinokuphila okuphakade uma sikholwa kuJesu. UJohane 3:16 uthi, “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” Samukelwe kuKristu (Efesu 1:6).

ETestamenteni Elidala sithola izincazelo zemihlatshelo, ngayinye yazo ingumfanekiso, isithunzi, isithombe salokho uKristu ayezosenzela kona esiphambanweni ukuze afeze ukubuyisana kwethu. Enye yalezi zinto imayelana ne "mbuzi yomsizi". Umenzi wobubi uletha imbuzi yomhlatshelo bese ebeka izandla zakhe ekhanda lembuzi evuma izono zakhe, ngaleyo ndlela adlulisele izono zakhe embuzini ukuze imbuzi ithwale. Ngemuva kwalokho imbuzi iholelwa ehlane ukuba ingabe isabuya. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi uJesu wathwala izono zethu ngenkathi esifela. Ususa izono zethu kude nathi ingunaphakade. AmaHeberu 9:28 athi, "UKristu wanikelwa kanye ukuba asuse izono zabaningi." UJeremiya 31:34 uthi, “Ngizobathethelela ububi babo nezono zabo angisayikukhumbula.”

KwabaseRoma 5:9 kuthi, “Njengoba sesilungisisiwe ngegazi laKhe, kangakanani-ke esizosindiswa ngalo olakeni lukaNkulunkulu.” Funda amaRoma izahluko 4 no-5. UJohane 5:24 uthi ngenxa yokholo lwethu uNkulunkulu usinike “ukuphila okuphakade futhi ASISIYOKWAHLWA kodwa sesiwelele (sidlule) ekufeni saya ekuphileni.” Bheka futhi amaRoma 2:5; amaRoma 4:6 no-7; amaHubo 32:1 no-2; uLuka 24:42 kanye nezEnzo 13:38.

AmaRoma 4: 6 & 7 acaphuna kwiTestamente Elidala AmaHubo 12: 1 & 2 athi, “Babusisiwe labo abaziphambeko zabo zithethelelwe, abazono zabo zimboziwe. Ubusisiwe lowo iNkosi engayikumbalela isono sakhe. ” Isambulo 1: 5 sithi "wasikhulula ezonweni zethu ngokufa kwakhe." Bheka futhi I KwabaseKorinte 6:11; AbaseKolose 1:14 nabase-Efesu 1: 7.

Ngakho-ke lesi sahlulelo asiphathelene nesono, kepha simayelana nemisebenzi yethu - umsebenzi esiwenzela uKristu. UNkulunkulu uzokuvuza imisebenzi esimenzela yona. Lesi sahlulelo simayelana nokuthi izenzo zethu (imisebenzi) izokuma yini ukuvivinywa ukuthola umvuzo kaNkulunkulu.

Konke uNkulunkulu asifundisa khona ukuthi sikwenze, siyakulandisa. Ngabe silalela lokho esikufundile ukuthi kwakuyintando kaNkulunkulu noma siyakunaka futhi sikushaye indiva esikwaziyo. Ngabe siphilela uKristu nombuso waKhe noma siphilela thina? Ingabe siyizinceku ezithembekile noma ezivilaphayo?

Izenzo uNkulunkulu azozahlulela zitholakala kuyo yonke imiBhalo lapho siyalwa khona noma sikhuthazwa ukwenza noma yini. Isikhala nesikhathi ngeke kusivumele ukuthi sixoxe ngakho konke okusifundiswa ngumBhalo. Cishe zonke izincwadi zinohlu endaweni ethile uNkulunkulu asikhuthaza ukuba simenzele yona.

Ikholwa ngalinye linikezwe okungenani isipho esisodwa sokomoya lapho sisindisiwe, njengokufundisa, ukupha, ukululeka, ukusiza, ukusabalalisa ivangeli njll, atshelwa ukuba asisebenzise isonto namanye amakholwa nangombuso waKhe.

Siphinde sibe namakhono emvelo, izinto esikwaziyo ukuzenza, esizalwa nazo. IBhayibheli lithi nalezi sizinikwe nguNkulunkulu, ngoba lithi ku-1 Korinte 4:7 ukuthi asinalutho esingalunikwanga nguNkulunkulu . Sinesibopho sokusebenzisa noma yiziphi lezi zinto ukukhonza uNkulunkulu nombuso waKhe nokuletha abanye kuYe. UJakobe 1:22 usitshela ukuthi sibe “abenzi beZwi hhayi abazwayo kuphela.” Ilineni elihle (izingubo ezimhlophe) ezigqokiswe ngalo abangcwele besAmbulo limelela “izenzo ezilungileyo zabantu bakaNkulunkulu abangcwele” (IsAmbulo 19:8). Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi lokhu kubaluleke kangakanani kuNkulunkulu.

Umbhalo ukwenza kucace ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ukusivuza ngalokho esikwenzile. Izenzo 10: 4 zithi, “Ingelosi yaphendula yathi, 'Imikhuleko yakho nezipho zakho kwabampofu zikhuphukile zaba yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu.' ”Lokhu kusiletha ezingeni lokuthi kunezinto ezingasivimba ekutholeni imivuzo, size singavumeli isenzo esihle esisenzile futhi silahlekelwe ngumvuzo ebesizowuthola.

1 KwabaseKorinte 3:10-15 isitshela ngokwahlulela kwemisebenzi yethu. Kuchazwa njengokwakha. Ivesi 10 lithi, “yilowo nalowo makakhe ngokucophelela.” Amavesi 11-15 athi, “uma umuntu akha phezu kwalesi sisekelo esebenzisa igolide, isiliva, amatshe abizayo, izinkuni, utshani noma utshani, umsebenzi wakhe uzobonakala, ngoba usuku luzowuveza. Uzokwembulwa ngomlilo, futhi umlilo uzohlola ikhwalithi yomsebenzi womuntu ngamunye. Uma lokho akwakhe kusala, umakhi uzothola umvuzo. Uma kusha, umakhi uzolahlekelwa kodwa nokho uzosindiswa – noma njengomuntu ophunyuka emalangabini.”

AbaseRoma 14: 10-12 bathi, "ngamunye wethu uzolandisa ngokwakhe kuNkulunkulu." UNkulunkulu akafuni ukuthi izenzo zethu "ezinhle" zishiswe "njengokhuni, utshani nezinhlanga." 2 Johane 8 uthi, “Xwaya ukuthi ungalahlekelwa yilokho esakusebenzela, kepha ukuze uvuzwe ngokugcwele.” Umbhalo usinikeza izibonelo zendlela esihola ngayo noma esilahlekelwa ngayo yimivuzo yethu. UMathewu 6: 1-18 usikhombisa izindawo eziningana lapho singathola khona imivuzo, kepha ukhuluma ngqo ngokungafanele ukwenze ukuze singalahlekelwa yikho. Ngangilifunda izikhathi ezimbalwa. Ihlanganisa "imisebenzi emihle" emithathu - imisebenzi yokulunga - enikeza abampofu, umthandazo nokuzila ukudla. Funda ivesi lokuqala. Ukuziqhenya igama eliyisihluthulelo lapha: ukufuna ukubonwa abanye, ukuthola udumo nodumo. Uma senza imisebenzi ukuze “sibonwe ngabantu,” ithi “ngeke sibe nawo umvuzo” “kuBaba” wethu, futhi sesiwutholile “umvuzo wethu ngokugcwele.” Sidinga ukwenza imisebenzi yethu “ekusithekeni,” khona-ke “uzosivuza ngokusobala” (ivesi 4). Uma senza "imisebenzi yethu emihle" ukuze sibonakale sesivele siwutholile umvuzo wethu. Lo mbhalo ucace bha, uma senza noma yini ukuze sizuze thina, ngenxa yezisusa zobugovu noma okubi kakhulu, ukulimaza abanye noma ukuzibeka ngaphezu kwabanye umvuzo wethu uzolahleka.

Olunye udaba ukuthi uma sivumela isono singene ezimpilweni zethu sizosiphazamisa. Uma sehluleka ukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu, njengokuba nomusa, noma singakunaki ukusebenzisa izipho namakhono uNkulunkulu asinika wona siyahluleka kuye. Incwadi kaJakobe isifundisa lezi zimiso, njengoJakobe 1:22 ethi, "kufanele sibe ngabenzi beZwi." UJames uphinde athi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lifana nesibuko. Uma siyifunda siyabona ukuthi sihluleka kangakanani futhi asihambisani nezinga likaNkulunkulu eliphelele. Sibona izono zethu nokwehluleka kwethu. Sinecala futhi sidinga ukucela uNkulunkulu ukuba asithethelele futhi asishintshe. UJames ukhuluma ngezindawo ezithile zokwehluleka njengokuhluleka ukusiza abaswele, inkulumo yethu, ukukhetha kanye nokuthanda abafowethu.

Funda uMathewu 25:14-27 ukuze ubone ukuthi singanaki lokho uNkulunkulu asiphathise kona ukuba sikusebenzise eMbusweni waKhe, kungaba yizipho, amakhono, imali noma amathuba. Sinesibopho sokuzisebenzisela uNkulunkulu. KuMathewu 25 esinye isiphazamiso ukwesaba. Ukwesaba ukwehluleka kungasenza “singcwabe” isipho sethu futhi singasisebenzisi. Futhi uma siziqhathanisa nabanye abaneziphiwo ezinkulu, ukucasuka noma ukuzizwa singafaneleki kungasivimbela; noma mhlawumbe simane sivilapha. I KwabaseKorinte 4:3 ithi, “Manje kuyadingeka ukuba labo abanikwe ithemba batholakale bethembekile.” UMathewu 25:25 uthi labo abangasebenzisi izipho zabo “bayizinceku ezingathembekile nezimbi.”

USathane, osimangalela njalo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, naye angasivimba. Uhlala ezama ukusivimba ekukhonzeni uNkulunkulu. U-I Peter 5: 8 (KJV) uthi, "Sangulukani, qaphani, ngoba isitha senu, uDeveli, sihambahamba njengengonyama ebhongayo, sifuna esingamshwabadela." Ivesi 9 lithi, “Melana naye, ume uqinile okholweni.” ULuka 22:31 uthi, "Simoni, Simoni, uSathane ubefisa ukunifunisisa ukuze anihlunge njengokolweni." Uyasilinga futhi asidikibalise ukuze asenze siyeke.

Kwabase-Efesu 6:12 kuthi, "Asibambene negazi nenyama, kodwa sibambene nemibuso namandla, nabaphathi bobumnyama baleli zwe." Lo mBhalo futhi usinikeza amathuluzi okulwa nesitha sethu uSathane. Funda uMathewu 4: 1-6 ukubona ukuthi uJesu wawusebenzisa kanjani umBhalo ukunqoba uSathane ngenkathi elingwa ngamanga kaSathane. Singasebenzisa futhi umBhalo lapho uSathane emangalela thina ukuze sikwazi ukuma siqine singayeki. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umBhalo uyiqiniso futhi iqiniso lizosikhulula. Bheka futhi uLuka 22: 31 & 32 othi uJesu wathandazela uPetru ukuthi ukholo lwakhe lungehluleki.

Noma yikuphi kwalezi zithiyo kungasivimba ekukhonzeni uNkulunkulu ngokwethembeka, futhi kusenze silahlekelwe yimiklomelo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yabase-Efesu 6 ihlobene nokwazi okushiwo yiZwi likaNkulunkulu, ikakhulukazi ngokuthi singazisebenzisa kanjani izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu kithi nokuthi singalisebenzisa kanjani iqiniso ukumelana namanga kaSathane. UJames 4: 7 uthi, “melanani nosathane uzonibalekela,” kepha kumele simelane naye ngeqiniso. UJohn17: 17 uthi, "IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso" Kumele silazi iqiniso ukuze silisebenzise. Izwi likaNkulunkulu libalulekile empini yethu yokulwa nesitha.

Ngakho-ke senzani uma sona futhi simdumaza njengabakholwayo. Sonke siyazi ukuthi senza isono futhi siyasilela. Yiya ku-1 Johane 1:6, 8 & 10 kanye no-2:1 & 2. Kusitshela ukuthi uma sithi asenzi isono siyazikhohlisa, futhi asikho ebuhlotsheni noNkulunkulu. I Johane 1:9 ithi, “Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile futhi ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono zethu futhi asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi. ” Kodwa, kuthiwani uma singavumi izono zethu, uma singaziphathi ngesono sethu, ngokusivuma kuNkulunkulu, uzosijezisa. I KwabaseKorinte 11:32 ithi, “Lapho sahlulelwa ngale ndlela, siyajeziswa ukuze singalahlwa kanye nezwe ekugcineni.” Funda amaHebheru 12:1-11 (KJV) athi ushaya “yonke indodana ayamukelayo.” Khumbula ukuthi sibonile emiBhalweni ukuthi ngeke sahlulelwe, silahlwe futhi siwele ngaphansi kolaka lukaNkulunkulu lokugcina (Johane 5:24; 3:14, 16 & 36), kodwa uBaba wethu ophelele uzosiyala.

Ngakho-ke yini okufanele siyenze futhi siyenze ukuze sigweme ukungafaneleki emivuzweni yethu. AmaHeberu 12: 1 & 2 anempendulo. Ithi, "Ngakho-ke ... masilahle kude konke okusivimbelayo nesono esisithandela kalula futhi sigijime ngokubekezela umncintiswano obekelwe thina." UMathewu 6:33 uthi, "Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu." Kufanele sizimisele ukwenza okuhle, siphile uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu ngathi.

Sishilo ukuthi uma sizalwa kabusha uNkulunkulu usinika ngamunye wethu isipho esingokomoya noma izipho esingamkhonza ngazo futhi sakhe ibandla, izinto uNkulunkulu athanda ukuzivuza. Kwabase-Efesu 4:7-16 kukhulunywa ngendlela izipho zethu okufanele zisetshenziswe ngayo. Ivesi 11 lithi uKristu “wanika abantu bakhe izipho: abanye abaphostoli, abanye abaprofethi, abanye abavangeli, abanye abelusi nabafundisi . Amavesi 12-16 (NIV) athi, “ukuze abantu bakhe bahlonyiswe (KJV abangcwele) ngemisebenzi yokukhonza , ukuze umzimba kaKristu wakhiwe…futhi ukhule…njengoba ingxenye ngayinye yenza umsebenzi wayo. Funda lonke ivesi. Funda futhi lezi ezinye izigaba ngezipho: 1 Korinte 12:4-11 kanye namaRoma 12:1-31. Kalula nje, sebenzisa isipho uNkulunkulu akunike sona. Funda futhi amaRoma 12:6-8.

Ake sibheke ezinye izindawo ezithile zokuphila kwethu, ezinye zezibonelo zezinto afuna sizenze. Sibonile kuMathewu 6:1-12 ukuthi ukuthandaza, ukupha nokuzila ukudla kuphakathi kwezinto ezithola imivuzo, uma kwenziwa “ngokwethembeka njengokungathi kuseNkosini.” I KwabaseKorinte 15:58 ithi, “Yibani ngabagxilile, abangenakunyakaziswa, abavame njalo emsebenzini weNkosi, nazi ukuthi umsebenzi wenu awusilo ize eNkosini.” Eyesi-2 kuThimothewu 3:14-16 iwumBhalo ohlanganisa okuningi kwalokhu njengoba ukhuluma ngoThimothewu esebenzisa izipho zakhe ezingokomoya. Uthi, “Kepha wena, qhubeka kulokho okufundile futhi uqiniseke ngakho, ngoba uyabazi labo okufunde kubo, nokuthi kusukela ebuntwaneni wazi kanjani imiBhalo Engcwele, ekwazi ukukuhlakaniphisela insindiso, ngokukholwa kuKristu Jesu. Yonke imiBhalo iphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu futhi iwusizo (inenzuzo KJV) ekufundiseni , ekusoleni, ekuqondiseni nasekuqeqesheni ekulungeni, ukuze inceku kaNkulunkulu ihlonyiselwe ngokuphelele umsebenzi omuhle waphakade .” Wow!! UThimothewu kwakufanele asebenzise isiphiwo sakhe ukufundisa abanye ukwenza imisebenzi emihle, bese befundisa nabanye ukwenza okufanayo. (2 Thimothewu 2:2).

I Peter 4: 11 ithi, “Uma umuntu ekhuluma makakhulume njengamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Uma umuntu ekhonza, makakhonze ngamandla awanikwa nguNkulunkulu, ukuze ezintweni zonke uNkulunkulu akhazinyuliswe ngoJesu Kristu. ”

Isihloko esihambisanayo sinxuswa ukuba siqhubeke sisenza, esihlobene kakhulu nokufundisa, esokuthi siqhubeke nokukhula olwazini lwethu lweZwi likaNkulunkulu. UThimothewu wayengakwazi ukufundisa nokushumayela ayengakwazi. Lapho siqala "ukuzalwa" emndenini kaNkulunkulu sinxuswa ukuba "sifise ubisi lweqiniso lwegama ukuze sikhule" (I Peter 2: 2). KuJohane 8:31 uJesu wathi "qhubeka ezwini lami." Asilokothi sidlule isidingo sethu sokufunda eZwini likaNkulunkulu. ”

Incwadi yoku-1 Thimothewu 4:16 ithi, “qaphelani impilo yenu nemfundiso yenu, nihlale kukho…” Bheka futhi: eyesi-2 Petru isahluko 1; eyesi-2 Thimothewu 2:15 kanye neyoku-1 Johane 2:21. UJohane 8:31 uthi, “uma nihlala ezwini lami, ningabafundi bami isibili.” Bheka eyabaseFilipi 2:15 kanye neyoku-16. Njengoba uThimothewu enza, kumelwe siqhubeke nalokho esikufundile (yesi-2 Thimothewu 3:14). Siphinde sibuyele kweyabase-Efesu isahluko 6 esiqhubeka sibhekisela kulokho esikwaziyo eZwini mayelana nokholo nokusebenzisa iBhayibheli njengesihlangu nesigqoko njll., okuyizithembiso zikaNkulunkulu ezivela eZwini futhi ezisetshenziselwa ukuzivikela ekuhlaselweni kukaSathane.

Kweyesi-2 Thimothewu 4:5, uThimothewu ukhuthazwa ukuba asebenzise esinye isipho futhi “enze umsebenzi womvangeli,” okusho ukushumayela nokwabelana ngevangeli, futhi “enze yonke imisebenzi yenkonzo yakhe.” Bobabili uMathewu noMarku baphetha ngokusiyala ukuba siye kuwo wonke umhlaba sishumayele iVangeli. IzEnzo 1:8 zithi singofakazi baKhe. Lona umsebenzi wethu oyinhloko. Eyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5:18-19 isitshela ukuthi “wasinika inkonzo yokubuyisana.” IzEnzo 20:29 zithi, “umgomo wami kuphela ukuqeda umjaho nokuqeda umsebenzi iNkosi uJesu enginike wona – umsebenzi wokufakaza ngezindaba ezinhle zomusa kaNkulunkulu.” Bheka futhi amaRoma 3:2.

Siphinde sibuyele kwabase-Efesu 6. Lapha igama elithi ukuma lisetshenziswa: umqondo uthi “ungalokothi uyeke,” “ungalokothi uhlehle” noma “ungalokothi ulahle ithemba.” Leli gama lisetshenziswe kathathu. ImiBhalo isebenzisa namagama athi qhubeka, phikelela futhi ugijime umjaho. Kufanele siqhubeke sikholwe futhi silandele uMsindisi wethu, kuze kube yilapho umjaho wethu usuphelile (Hebheru 12:1 & 2). Uma sehluleka, sidinga ukuvuma ukungakholwa kwethu nokwehluleka kwethu, sivuke sicele uNkulunkulu ukuba asisekele. I KwabaseKorinte 15:58 ithi masime. IzEnzo 14:22 zisitshela ukuthi abaphostoli baya emabandleni “beqinisa abafundi, bebakhuthaza ukuba baqhubeke okholweni” (NKJV). Ku-NIV kuthiwa “babe qotho okholweni.”

Sibonile ukuthi uThimothewu kwakufanele aqhubeke efunda kodwa futhi aqhubeke kulokho ayekufundile (2 Thimothewu 3:14). Siyazi ukuthi sisindiswa ngokholo, kodwa futhi sihamba ngokholo. KwabaseGalathiya 2:20 bathi “siphila nsuku zonke ngokholo lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” Ngicabanga ukuthi kunezici ezimbili zokuphila ngokholo. 1) Sinikwa ukuphila (ukuphila okuphakade) ngokukholwa kuJesu (Johane 3:16). KuJohane 5:24 sibonile ukuthi uma sikholwa sidlula ekufeni siye ekuphileni. Bheka amaRoma 1:17 nakwabase-Efesu 2:8-10. Manje siyabona ukuthi ngenkathi sisaphila ngokwenyama, kufanele siphile impilo yethu njalo ngokukholwa kuYe nakho konke asifundisa kona, simethembe futhi simkholelwe futhi simlalele nsuku zonke: sithembele emseni wakhe, othandweni, emandleni nasekuthembekeni. Kufanele sihlale sithembekile; siqhubeke.

Lokhu ngokwako kunezingxenye ezimbili: 1) ukuhlala uqotho emfundisweni njengoba uThimothewu akhuthazwa, okungukuthi, ukungadonselwa kunoma iyiphi imfundiso yamanga. IzEnzo 14:22 zithi bakhuthaza “abafundi ukuba bathembeke okholweni .” 2) IzEnzo 13:42 zisitshela ukuthi abaphostoli “babancenga ukuba BAQHUBEKE emseni kaNkulunkulu .” Bheka futhi eyabase-Efesu 4:1 kanye neyoku-1 Thimothewu 1:5 kanye no-4:13. UmBhalo uchaza lokhu ngokuthi “ukuhamba,” “ukuhamba ngoMoya” noma “ukuhamba ekukhanyeni,” ngokuvamile lapho ubhekene novivinyo nosizi. Njengoba kushiwo, kusho ukungayeki.

IVangeli likaJohane 6: 65-70 abafundi abaningi bahamba bayeka ukumlandela futhi uJesu wathi kwabayishumi nambili, "Nani nizohamba na?" UPetru wathi kuJesu, "Singaya kubani, unamazwi okuphila okuphakade." Lesi yisimo sengqondo okufanele sibe naso maqondana nokulandela uJesu. Lokhu kuboniswa emBhalweni ekulandiseni kwezinhloli ezithunyelwe ukuyobheka iZwe Lesithembiso LikaNkulunkulu. Esikhundleni sokukholelwa ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu babuya nombiko odumazayo futhi nguJoshua noKalebi kuphela abakhuthaza abantu ukuthi baqhubekele phambili bathembele kuNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yokuthi abantu babengamethembi uNkulunkulu, labo abangakholwanga bafela ehlane. AmaHeberu athi lesi yisifundo kithina sokuthemba uNkulunkulu, hhayi ukuyeka. Bona amaHeberu 3: 12 athi, "qaphelani bafowethu nodadewethu, ukuthi kungabikho noyedwa kini onenhliziyo enesono, engakholwayo efulathela uNkulunkulu ophilayo."

Lapho sivivinywa futhi sivivinywa uNkulunkulu uzama ukusenza siqine futhi sibekezele futhi sithembeke. Sifunda ukunqoba izilingo zethu nemicibisholo kaSathane. Ungafani namaHeberu ehluleka ukwethemba nokulandela uNkulunkulu. I KwabaseKorinte 4: 1 & 2 ithi, "Manje kuyadingeka ukuthi labo abanikezwe ukwethenjwa bahlale bethembekile."

Enye indawo okufanele uyicabangele umthandazo. NgokukaMathewu 6 kusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasivuza ngemithandazo yethu. ISambulo 5: 8 ithi imithandazo yethu iyiphunga elimnandi, ingumnikelo kuNkulunkulu njengeminikelo yempepho eTestamenteni Elidala. Leli vesi lithi, “babephethe izitsha zegolide ezazigcwele impepho okuyimikhuleko yabantu bakaNkulunkulu.” UMathewu 6: 6 uthi, "thandaza kuYihlo… uYihlo obona okwenziwa ekusithekeni, uzokuvuza."

UJesu ulandisa indaba yomahluleli ongalungile ukuze asifundise ukubaluleka komthandazo - umthandazo ophikelelayo - ungayeki ukuthandaza (Luka 18:1-8). Yifunde. Umfelokazi wakhathaza umahluleli ngobulungisa kwaze kwaba yilapho ekugcineni evuma isicelo sakhe ngoba wayemkhathaza ngokuphikelela . UNkulunkulu uyasithanda. Kangakanani-ke azophendula imithandazo yethu? Ivesi lokuqala lithi, “UJesu walandisa lo mfanekiso ukuze ababonise ukuthi kufanele bathandaze njalo bangayeki. ” UNkulunkulu akafuni nje ukuphendula imithandazo yethu kodwa uyasivuza ngokuthandaza. Kuyamangalisa!

Kwabase-Efesu 6: 18 & 19, esibuyile ezikhathini eziningi kule ngxoxo, ibhekisa nasemthandazweni. UPaul uphetha le ncwadi futhi ukhuthaza amakholwa ukuba athandazele “bonke abantu beNkosi”. Wayecacile futhi nokuthi angayithandazela kanjani imizamo yakhe yokuvangela.

I-Thimothewu 2: 1 ithi, "Ngiyanxusa-ke, okokuqala, ukuthi izicelo, imithandazo, ukuncengela nokubonga kwenziwe kubantu bonke." Ivesi lesithathu lithi, “lokhu kuhle futhi kuyathandeka kuMsindisi wethu, Ofuna bonke abantu basindiswe.” Akufanele siyeke ukuthandazela abathandekayo nabangane bethu abalahlekile. KwabaseKolose 4: 2 & 3 UPaul ukhuluma nangendlela yokuthandazela ngqo ukuvangela. Ithi, "Zinikeleni emthandazweni, niqaphele futhi ninokubonga."

Sibonile indlela ama-Israyeli ayedumaza ngayo omunye nomunye. Sitshelwa ukuthi sikhuthazane, singadumazi omunye nomunye. Empeleni isikhuthazo siyisipho esingokomoya. Akumelwe nje senze lezi zinto futhi siqhubeke sizenza, kodwa kufanele sifundise futhi sikhuthaze nabanye ukuba nabo bazenze. I Thesalonika 5:11 isiyala ukuba senze kanjalo, “sakhane.” UThimothewu watshelwa futhi ukuba ashumayele, alungise futhi akhuthaze abanye ngenxa yesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu. 2 Thimothewu 4:1&2 ithi, “Phambi kukaNkulunkulu noKristu Jesu, oyakwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo, nangenxa yokubonakala kwaKhe nombuso waKhe, ngiyakuyala ngalokhu: Shumayela izwi; lungelani ngesikhathi esifanele nangesikhathi esingesona; lungisani, nikhuze futhi nikhuthaze – ngokubekezela okukhulu nangokufundisa ngokucophelela.” Bheka futhi i-1 Petru 5:8&9.

Okokugcina, kepha kufanele kube okokuqala, siyalwe kuyo yonke imiBhalo ukuthi sithandane, ngisho nezitha zethu. I-Thesalonika 4: 10 ithi, "Uyawuthanda umndeni kaNkulunkulu… kepha sikunxusa ukuthi wenze njalo kakhulu." AbaseFilipi 1: 8 bathi, “ukuze uthando lwenu luvame kakhulu.” Bheka futhi amaHeberu 13: 1 noJohn 15: 9 Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi Uthi "okuningi." Alusoze lwaba khona uthando oluningi.

Amavesi asikhuthaza ukuthi sibekezele atholakala yonke indawo emiBhalweni. Ngamafuphi, kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi senze okuthile futhi siqhubeke nokwenza okuthile. AbaseKolose 3:23 (KJV) bathi, "Noma yini isandla sakho esikuthola ukukwenza, kwenze ngenhliziyo (noma ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho kwi-NIV) njengakuyo iNkosi." KwabaseKolose 3:24 kuyaqhubeka, “Njengoba nazi ukuthi niyothola ifa eNkosini njengomvuzo. YiNkosi oyikhonzayo. ” U-2 Thimothewu 4: 7 uthi, “Ngikulwile ukulwa okuhle, ngiliqedile ibanga, ngigcinile ukukholwa.” Uzokwazi ukusho lokhu? I KwabaseKorinte 9:24 ithi "Gijima-ke ukuze uzowina umklomelo." KwabaseGalathiya 5: 7 kuthi, “Benigijima umjaho omuhle. Ubani okuvimbe ukuba ungalaleli iqiniso? ”

UMoya oNgcwele ukhona kuyo yonke indawo futhi ikakhulukazi ukhona kumakholwa. AmaHubo 139: 7 & 8 athi, “Ngingayaphi ngisuka kuMoya wakho? Ngingabalekela kuphi ngisuke ebusweni bakho? Uma ngikhuphukela ezulwini, wena ulapho: uma ngendlala umbhede wami ezinzulwini, ulapho. ” UMoya oNgcwele ukutholakala yonke indawo ngeke kuguquke, noma ngabe wonke amakholwa aseZulwini.

UMoya Oyingcwele uhlala nasemakholweni kusukela lapho "bezalwa kabusha," noma "bezalwa ngoMoya" (Johane 3: 3-8). Kungumqondo wami ukuthi lapho uMoya oNgcwele eza ukuhlala ekholweni uzibandakanya nomoya walowo muntu ebudlelwaneni obufana nomshado. I KwabaseKorinte 6: 16b & 17 “Ngoba kuthiwe, 'Laba ababili bayoba nyamanye.' Kodwa noma ubani ohlangene neNkosi munye naye emoyeni. ” Ngicabanga ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uzohlala ubumbene nomoya wami noma sengishonile.

Indima engcono yokuphendula umbuzo wakho ivela kuLuka 16: 18-31. Ukwahlulela kuyashesha, kepha akusikho okokugcina noma okuphelele ngokushesha ngemuva kokufa. Uma sikholelwa kuJesu umoya wethu nomphefumulo wethu uyoba sezulwini noJesu. (2 KwabaseKorinte 5: 8-10 ithi, “ukungabikho emzimbeni ukuba khona neNkosi.) Abangakholwayo bayoba seHayidesi kuze kufike ukwahlulelwa kokugcina, bese beya echibini loMlilo. (Isambulo 20: 11-15) Amakholwa azokwahlulelwa ngemisebenzi yawo ayenzele uNkulunkulu, kodwa hhayi isono. (I KwabaseKorinte 3: 10-15) Ngeke sahlulelwe ngezono ngoba sithethelelwe kuKristu. Abangakholwa bazokwahlulelwa izono zabo. (Isambulo 20:15; 22:14; 21:27)

KuJohn 3: 5,15.16.17.18 no 36 UJesu uthi labo abakholelwa ukuthi wafela bona banokuphila okuphakade nalabo abangakholelwa bapholile kakade. I-Korinte 15: 1-4 ithi, "UJesu washona ngenxa yezono zethu ... ukuthi wangcwatshwa nokuthi wavuswa ngosuku lwesithathu." IzEnzo 16: 31 ithi, "Kholwa eNkosini uJesu, futhi uzosindiswa. "2 Timothy 1: I-12 ithi," Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi uyakwazi ukugcina lokho engikwenzile kuye kuze kube yilolo suku. "

Ukuphendula umbuzo wokukhumbula impilo "edlule", kuya ngokuthi usho ukuthini ngombuzo.

1). Uma ukhuluma ngokuzalwa kabusha iBhayibheli alikufundisi lokho. Akukho lapho kukhulunywa khona ngokubuya ngesinye isimo noma njengomuntu omunye emiBhalweni. AmaHebheru 9:27 athi, “Umuntu umiselwe ukufa kanye , emva kwalokhu kube ngukwahlulelwa.”

2). Uma ubuza ukuthi sizokhumbula yini izimpilo zethu ngemuva kokufa, sizokhunjuzwa ngazo zonke izenzo zethu lapho sahlulelwa ngalokho esakwenza ngesikhathi sokuphila kwethu.

UNkulunkulu wazi konke - okwedlule, kwamanje nekusasa futhi uNkulunkulu uzokwahlulela abangakholwa ngezenzo zabo zesono futhi bazothola isijeziso saphakade futhi abakholwayo bazoklonyeliswa ngemisebenzi yabo abayenzele umbuso kaNkulunkulu. (Funda uJohane isahluko 3 noMathewu 12: 36 & 37.) UNkulunkulu ukhumbula konke.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi wonke amaza omsindo akhona ndawo ndawo futhi uma ucabanga ukuthi manje "sinamafu" okugcina izinkumbulo zethu, isayensi iyaqala ukuthola lokho uNkulunkulu angakwenza. Alikho igama noma isenzo esingatholakali kuNkulunkulu.
