Ukusoka kuKristu
13:13 Enisokwa kuye futhi ngokusoka okwenziwa ngezandla, ekuhlubuleni umzimba wezono zenyama ngokusoka kukaKristu: Wangcwatshwa naYe embhapathizweni, lapho futhi navuswa kanye naye ngokukholwa kokusebenza kukaNkulunkulu, owamvusa kwabafileyo (AbaseKolose 2:11-12)
Indalo entsha isokwa ekusokeni kukaJesu Kristu. Lokhu kusoka akwenziwa ngezandla, ukusokwa kwemvelo kwejwabu lowesilisa. Kodwa lokhu kusoka kungumsebenzi kaMoya futhi kwenzeka ngokukhumula umzimba wesono wabesilisa nabesifazane.. Ukusoka kuKristu; ukukhumula umzimba wezono zenyama, kwenzeka ngobhapathizo, lapho ikhehla (inyama) ungcwatshwa noKristu futhi uba ngumhlanganyeli wokufa Kwakhe kanye nomuntu omusha (umoya) uvukile kwabafileyo ngokukholwa kokusebenza kukaNkulunkulu, owamvusa kwabafileyo.
Indoda endala ingcwatshwa noKristu embhapathizweni
Sothini-ke? Siqhubeke esonweni, ukuze umusa wavame? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Sizokwenza kanjani, abafile esonweni, hlalani nisaba khona? Anazi nina, ukuthi sonke esabhabhathizelwa kuKristu Jesu, sabhabhathizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngakho-ke sembelwa kanye naye ngokubhapathizelwa ekufeni: ukuthi njengalokhu uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise, kanjalo nathi kufanele sihambe ekuphileni okusha.
Ngokuba uma sihlanyelwe kanye naye ekufananeni kokufa kwakhe, futhi siyoba sesimweni sokuvuka kwakhe: Ukwazi lokhu, ukuthi umuntu wethu omdala ubethelwe kanye Naye, ukuze umzimba wesono ubhujiswe, ukuze singabe sesikhonza isono. Ngoba ofileyo ukhululiwe esonweni (AmaRoma 6:1-7)
Lapho ubhapathizwa, nasokwa ekusokeni kukaKristu, seningcwabile ukuphila kwenu kokuqala.
Ikhehla, ongowenyama futhi obuswa umuzwa futhi ubuswa imvelo yesono, ayisekho.
Ikhehla, umuntu wenyama, ufile kuKristu nomuntu omusha, umuntu womoya, uvusiwe kuKristu kwabafileyo.
Izinto ezindala zidlulile, zonke izinto zibe zintsha!
Wakholelwa kuJesu Kristu futhi wanquma landela uJesu futhi wangena esivumelwaneni Naye futhi njengophawu lwesivumelwano ukusoka kuKristu.
NjengaseSivumelwaneni Esidala ukusokwa kwejwabu ngokwemvelo kwakuwuphawu lwesivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu, u-Abrahama, futhi iNzalo yakhe, esivumelwaneni esisha, ukusoka ngokukhumula umzimba wezono zenyama ngokubhapathizwa, kuwuphawu lweSivumelwano Esisha kuKristu.
Umuntu omusha uvuswe kanye noKristu kwabafileyo
Manje uma sifile kanye noKristu, siyakholwa ukuthi siyakuphila futhi kanye naye: sisazi ukuthi uKristu esevusiwe kwabafileyo akasafi; ukufa akusenamandla phezu Kwakhe. Ngokuba wafa ngalokho, Wafa kanye esonweni: kodwa ekuphileni Yena, Uphilela uNkulunkulu. Kanjalo nani zishoni ukuthi ningabafileyo impela esonweni, kodwa niphilele uNkulunkulu ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
Ngakho-ke makungabusi isono emzimbeni wenu ofayo, ukuze lilalele izinkanuko zalo. futhi ninganikeli izitho zenu esonweni, zibe yizikhali zokungalungi: kodwa zinikeleni nina kuNkulunkulu, njengalabo abaphilayo kwabafileyo, nezitho zenu kuNkulunkulu zibe yizikhali zokulunga. Ngokuba isono asiyikubusa phezu kwenu: ngokuba aniphansi komthetho, kodwa ngaphansi komusa.
Yini-ke? sizokona yini, ngoba kasikho ngaphansi komthetho, kodwa ngaphansi komusa? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Anazi nina, ukuthi enizinikela kuye ukuba yizigqila zokumlalela, niyizinceku zakhe enimlalelayo; noma owesono kube ngukufa, kumbe elokulalela kube ngukulunga? (AmaRoma 6:8-16)
Futhi uma uKristu ekini, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ungukuphila ngenxa yokulunga (AmaRoma 8:10)
Ngokuba uma niphila ngokwenyama, niyakufa: kepha uma nibulala imisebenzi yomzimba ngoMoya, niyakuphila. Ngoba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, bangamadodana kaNkulunkulu (AmaRoma 8:13-14)
UJesu Kristu ukunqobile ukufa! Uma usube yindalo entsha kuye, nihlengiwe emandleni esono nokufa ngokubekwa komzimba wezono zenyama futhi niphiwe amandla kuKristu okubusa phezu kwesono nokufa..
Ngeke usayilalela inyama futhi uholwe imvelo yesono yenyama futhi ugcwalise izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama., ngokuba inyama kanye nemvelo yayo yesono yafa kuKristu.
Ubufakazi bokuthi inyama ifile kuKristu
Uma inyama enesono ifile kuKristu, inyama ngeke isaveza imisebenzi engalungile yenyama, okuyizi a.o. ukuphinga, ubufebe, isehlukaniso, (ucansi) ukungcola, ubufebe, uthando oludlulele (inkanuko), inkanuko embi, ukuhaha, intukuthelo, ulaka, ububi, ukuhlambalaza, ukuxhumana okungcolile, ukuqamba amanga, ukuxega, ukukhonza izithombe, ubuthakathi, inzondo, ukwehluka, ukulingisa, ingxabano, iziyaluyalu, amambuka, umona, ukweba, ukubulala, ukudakwa, ukuxokozela (1 AbaseKorinte 6:9- 6, KwabaseGalathiya 5:19-21, AbaseKolose 3:5-10).
Uma usayenza imisebenzi yenyama, anisokile kuKristu, ngoba umzimba wezono zenyama awukasuswa futhi awungcwatshwa kuKristu kodwa usaphila.
Indalo endala, ongowezwe ohlala embusweni wobumnyama, wenza lemisebenzi engalungile. Kodwa uma uzelwe ngokusha futhi usokiwe ukusoka kukaKristu ngokukhumula umzimba wezono wenyama, anisayikuyenza leyo misebenzi, kodwa uyokwenza imisebenzi elungileyo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu.
Uzolalela uBaba futhi uzithobe eZwini Lakhe futhi ulalele amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi uwasebenzise empilweni yakho, ngoba iZwi likaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso. Uzohamba ngokulandela uMoya entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi uMoya uyobusa empilweni yakho. Ngenxa yalokho, uyakuphila ukuphila okungcwele kuNkulunkulu, uthwale isithelo sikaMoya.
