Kuthiwani ngomusa nemisebenzi? Usindisiwe ngomusa noma usindisiwe ngemisebenzi? Ingabe uphila ngaphansi komusa noma uphila ngaphansi komthetho? Ingabe konke kungumusa futhi kuyimisebenzi ayisabalulekile noma ayinamsebenzi? Lithini iBhayibheli ngomusa nemisebenzi?
Usukaphi umthetho?
Umthetho weNkosi uphelele, ukuguqula umphefumulo: ubufakazi beNkosi buqinisile, uhlakaniphisa ongenalwazi. Izimiso zikaJehova zilungile, ethokoza inhliziyo: umyalo weNkosi uhlanzekile, ekhanyisela amehlo (Amahubo 19:7-8)
Kubalulekile ukubheka ukuthi umthetho usuka kuphi nokuthi lo mthetho wawuhloselwe bani. Umthetho usuka esimweni sikaNkulunkulu kanye nasentandweni Yakhe. Ngokunika uMose umthetho, UNkulunkulu wembula isimo Sakhe kanye nentando Yakhe kubantu Bakhe benyama u-Israyeli. Ngakho-ke, ingxenye yomthetho wokuziphatha, okwambulwa ngakho isono, limele intando kaNkulunkulu.
Abantu bakaNkulunkulu babephilele 430 iminyaka eGibhithe lobuqaba futhi babejwayele isiko nenkolo yaseGibhithe (Eksodusi 12:40).
Ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu ehlengile abantu bakhe emandleni kaFaro nasebugqilini baseGibhithe futhi wahola abantu bakhe wabayisa ezweni lesethembiso., Abantu bakaNkulunkulu kwadingeka bahlanzwe futhi benziwe basha ezingqondweni zabo, ukuze bangacabangi njengabezizwe, abangazange bavume futhi bakhonze uNkulunkulu kodwa bavuma futhi bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi bayophila njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu futhi bavume uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu wabo noMdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi futhi bazomkhonza futhi bahambe ngokulalela entandweni Yakhe..
Abantu bakaNkulunkulu babeyodla ifa lomhlaba, lapho kwakuhlala khona abeZizwe. UNkulunkulu wayengafuni ukuthi abantu Bakhe bazihlanganise namasiko abeZizwe, izinkolo, ukukhonza izithombe, amasiko, namasiko, kodwa babeyozehlukanisa kwezinye izizwe zabeZizwe futhi bagcine imiyalo nemithetho kaNkulunkulu futhi baphile ngcwele.
UNkulunkulu wenza intando Yakhe yaziwe ngokunikeza imiyalo Yakhe, lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu bengavuselela indlela yabo yokucabanga, ukuze izingqondo zabo zivumelane nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi bazi imicabango Yakhe futhi bahambe ezindleleni Zakhe (Funda futhi: ‘Yimicabango kaNkulunkulu imicabango yethu?‘ futhi ‘Indlela kaNkulunkulu yindlela yakho?‘).
Ngakho-ke abantu bakaNkulunkulu basindiswa ngomusa futhi bayohlala basindiswa ngokugcina imiyalo, eyayimelela intando kaNkulunkulu.
Umthetho wawuhloselwe bani?
Umthetho, uNkulunkulu ayekunike futhi wasuka emvelweni Yakhe nasentandweni Yakhe, kwakuhloselwe abantu Bakhe benyama u-Israyeli, abazalwa benzalo kaJakobe (Israyeli).
UIsrayeli wayengabantu benyama, owayengowabo, njengezinye izizwe, esizukulwaneni somuntu owileyo; ikhehla, onomphefumulo futhi kuphela ongaphila ngemva kwenyama.
Ngakho-ke, umthetho wawungowomuntu owile, owabekwa ngaphansi kukadeveli nezingelosi zakhe futhi waphila ngaphansi kokubusa kukadeveli, isono, nokufa, ngenxa yokuwa (ukungalaleli amazwi kaNkulunkulu nokulalela amazwi kadeveli).
Yonke imiyalo, imiyalelo, amadili, amasiko, imithetho yokudla, futhi imithetho yemihlatshelo yayihloselwe umuntu wenyama, owayebhajwe enyameni futhi umoya wakhe wawufile futhi kwakudingeka agcinwe, ukuze ngokulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nokugcina imiyalelo nemiyalelo Yakhe uNkulunkulu abe nobudlelwane nabantu Bakhe benyama..
Nokho, ukuzalwa kwemvelo kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu akuzange kubanike isikhundla esikhethekile mayelana nalokhu (okwaphakade) insindiso futhi akabakhululanga uma benquma ukuhamba ngendlela yabo futhi bephule umthetho futhi bangawalaleli amazwi kaNkulunkulu., ezilotshwe emthethweni kaNkulunkulu futhi zimelela intando Yakhe (Funda futhi: ‘Imfihlo yomthetho‘).
Ukwephulwa komthetho nesijeziso
Abantu abaningi, ababengabangcwele ngokuzalwa kwemvelo bajeziswa futhi bagwetshelwa ukufa ngenxa yokwephula kwabo umthetho; ukungalaleli kwabo uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe.
UNkulunkulu wayemazi umuntu omdala kanye nobuthakathaka benyama futhi njengoba umuntu wayengekho ngokomoya kodwa wayephila ngaphansi kwamandla esono nokufa, UNkulunkulu kwadingeka abhekane nesimo somuntu owile futhi akhiphe izijeziso ukuze avimbele bonke abantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama ukuthi bathinteke futhi/noma bathonywe ububi.; isono (ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu) futhi nenze ububi obufanayo.
Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ngokuzalwa ngokwemvelo, Abantu bakaNkulunkulu basindiswa futhi babengabakhe nangenxa yokwesaba nothando lwabo ngoNkulunkulu, okwavezwa ngokugcina umthetho, Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bahlala besindisiwe futhi bahlala entabeni yesibusiso.
Akukho nyama engalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho
Manje siyazi ukuthi konke okushoyo umthetho, lithi kwabaphansi komthetho: ukuze yonke imilomo ivalwe, futhi wonke umhlaba ungaba necala phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke ngezenzo zomthetho akukho nyama eyakulungisiswa phambi kwakhe: ngoba ngomthetho kukhona ukwazi isono. Kodwa manje sekubonakalisiwe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngaphandle komthetho, efakazelwa ngumthetho labaprofethi; ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu okungokukholwa nguJesu Kristu kubo bonke naphezu kwabo bonke abakholwayo: ngoba kawukho umehluko: Ngoba bonke bonile, njalo basilalelwe yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; Belungisiswa ngesihle ngomusa wakhe ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu: UNkulunkulu ammisile abe yinhlawulo ngokukholwa egazini lakhe, ukumemezela ukulunga kwakhe kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono esezadlula, ngokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu; Ukumemezela, ngithi, ngalesi sikhathi ukulunga Kwakhe: ukuze Abe ngolungileyo, nomlungisisi walowo okholwa nguJesu (AmaRoma 3:19-26)
Thina esingamaJuda ngokwemvelo, hhayi izoni zabezizwe, sisazi ukuthi umuntu kalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho, kodwa ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu, ngisho nathi sikholiwe kuJesu Kristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo lukaKristu, njalo kungeyisikho ngemisebenzi yomthetho: ngoba ngemisebenzi yomthetho kakulanyama ezalungisiswa. Kodwa uma, kuyilapho sifuna ukulungisiswa ngoKristu, nathi ngokwethu sifunyanwa siyizoni, ngakho-ke uKristu uyisikhonzi sesono? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Ngokuba uma ngibuye ngakhe lokho engikubhidlizile, ngizenza oweqa umthetho. Ngokuba ngomthetho mina ngafa kuwo umthetho, ukuze ngiphilele uNkulunkulu. Ngibethelwe kanye noKristu: nokho ngiyaphila; nokho hhayi mina, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi: futhi ukuphila engikuphilayo kalokhu enyameni ngikuphila ngokukholwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, owayengithanda, futhi wazinikela ngenxa yami. Angiwuphambanisi umusa kaNkulunkulu: ngoba uba ukulunga kuvela ngomthetho, khona-ke uKristu wafela ize (KwabaseGalathiya 2:15-21)
Ukulalela umthetho kanye nemisebenzi yomthetho angeke kuguqule lutho mayelana (ngokomoya) isimo kanye nesikhundla somuntu owile. Umoya womuntu wahlala ufile, naphezu kokugcina umthetho nemisebenzi yomthetho.
Naphezu kokugcinwa komthetho, umuntu wenyama waqhubeka ephila ebugqilini bukasathane, isono, nokufa, ngenyama.
Imihlatshelo negazi lezilwane akukwazanga ukuguqula lutho ngakho. Igazi lezilwane lalingenza kuphela inhlawulo yesikhashana yezono nobubi bomuntu owile.
Uma nje inyama, lapho kubusa isono nokufa, kungaba khona, abantu babeyoboshwa umthetho.
Ukufika kwesithembiso, UJesu Kristu
Ngoba ngehle ezulwini, hhayi ukwenza intando Yami, kodwa intando yalowo oNgithumileyo. Futhi lokhu kuyintando kaBaba oNgithumileyo, ukuze konke anginike khona ngingalahlekelwa lutho kukho, kodwa kufanele ayivuse futhi ngosuku lokugcina. Futhi lokhu kuyintando yaLowo oNgithumileyo, ukuthi wonke obona iNdodana, futhi akholwe kuye, abe nokuphila okuphakade: mina-ke ngiyakumvusa ngosuku lokugcina (UJohane 6:38-40)
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana Yakhe emhlabeni ukuze iguqule isimo somuntu owile. Ngokufika kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu; ukufika kukaMesiya, Abantu bakaNkulunkulu babeyohlengwa egunyeni elingokomoya likadeveli nesono nokufa, obusa enyameni.
UNkulunkulu wayezohlenga abantu Bakhe embusweni wobumnyama futhi abadlulisele eMbusweni Wakhe futhi abuyisele isimo somuntu owile kanye nobudlelwane phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu., elaphulwa ngesono (ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu).
Futhi kanjalo uJesu Kristu, iZwi eliphilayo, futhi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu yeza emhlabeni futhi yathatha indawo yomuntu owile yathwala izono nesijeziso sesono, okungukufa, phezu kwaKhe futhi wabuyisela umuntu kuNkulunkulu ngegazi laKhe.
UJesu wanikelwa njengeWundlu futhi wathwala izono nobubi bomuntu owile, uBaba ambeka phezu kwakhe, futhi wafa esiphambanweni.
UJesu wenziwa isono futhi ngenxa yalokho, UJesu wangena eHayidese. Nokho, Amandla kaNkulunkulu ayenamandla kunokufa, kanjalo emva kwezinsuku ezintathu, UJesu wavuka njengoMnqobi kwabafileyo ephethe izihluthulelo zesihogo nokufa.
UJesu waba indlela eya ensindisweni nasekubuyisaneni noBaba, okokuqala kubantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama.
Ukufika kwesithembiso, uMoya oNgcwele
Futhi ngizobanika inhliziyo eyodwa, ngiyakufaka umoya omusha phakathi kwenu; futhi ngiyokhipha inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yabo, futhi uyobanika inhliziyo yenyama: Ukuze bahambe ngezimiso Zami, futhi nigcine izimiso Zami, futhi uzenze: bayakuba ngabantu bami, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo. Kepha labo abanhliziyo yabo ilandela izinhliziyo zezinto zabo ezinengekayo nezinengiso zabo, ngiyakwehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwamakhanda abo, isho iNkosi uJehova (UHezekeli 11:19-21).
Uma ningithanda Mina, gcina imiyalo Yami. Futhi ngizokhuleka kuBaba, futhi Uzokunika omunye uMduduzi, ukuze Ahlale nawe phakade; Ngisho uMoya weqiniso; izwe elingemamukele, ngoba ayimboni, futhi akamazi: kodwa lina liyamazi; ngoba uhlezi lawe, futhi uzakuba kini (UJohane 14:15-17)
Bebonga uBaba, owasenza safaneleka ukuhlanganyela efeni labangcwele ekukhanyeni: Owasikhulula emandleni obumnyama, wasesidlulisela embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo: Esinokuhlengwa kuye ngegazi laKhe, ngisho nokuthethelelwa kwezono (AbaseKolose 1:13)
Ngoba ngoSuku lwePhentekoste, lapho omunye uMduduzi, uMoya oNgcwele uthunywe nguBaba, ngenxa yomsebenzi oqediwe kaJesu Kristu, abafundi bakaJesu Kristu bamukela uMoya oNgcwele, futhi imimoya yabo yavuswa kwabafileyo futhi bahlengwa emandleni kaSathane futhi basuswa embusweni wobumnyama bayiswa embusweni kaNkulunkulu., lapho uJesu Kristu eyiNkosi futhi ebusa.
Ngaleso sikhathi, abagcinanga ngokuba ngabakaNkulunkulu ngokuzalwa kwabo kwemvelo, kodwa ngokuzalwa kabusha komoya, babuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi babengabakhe futhi base beyindalo entsha; amadodana kaNkulunkulu (abesilisa nabesifazane).
Bazalwa ngaphansi komthetho, kodwa ngokholo nokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, bahlengwa emthethweni wesono nokufa nesiqalekiso.
Intando kaNkulunkulu ilotshwe enhliziyweni yomuntu omusha
Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi, lapho ngiyokwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda: Hhayi ngokwesivumelwano engasenza nawoyise mhla ngibabamba ngesandla ukubakhipha ezweni laseGibithe.; ngoba abazange bahlale esivumelwaneni Sami, futhi angizange ngibacabangele, isho iNkosi. Ngoba yilesi isivumelwano engizasenza lendlu kaIsrayeli ngemva kwalezonsuku, isho iNkosi; ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, futhi uzibhale ezinhliziyweni zabo: mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bazakuba ngabantu kimi: Futhi kabayikufundisa ngulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe, yilowo nalowo umfowabo, ethi, Yazi iNkosi: ngoba bonke bazangazi, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu. Ngoba ngizakuba lesihawu ukungalungi kwabo, nezono zabo nobubi babo angisayikukukhumbula. Kulokho Akushoyo, Isivumelwano esisha, Uluguge olokuqala. Manje lokho okubolayo nokugugayo sekulungele ukunyamalala (amaHebheru 8:8-13)
Babengaseyona indalo endala, ababengabezwe; umbuso wobumnyama, futhi baqondiswa futhi baholwa yimvelo yesono, elikhona enyameni, nezinkanuko nezifiso zayo.
Babengasawudingi umthetho kaMose olotshiwe, ukuze bahambe entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi kwakungadingeki ukuthi bagcine imithetho yemihlatshelo kanye nayo yonke imikhuba yomthetho ukuze baphile ngokulunga futhi bahlawulele izono nobubi benyama..
Ngoba ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, babebethele inyama yabo, abahlengwa ngawo emthethweni wesono nokufa, obekuhloswe ngakho (inyama ye) umuntu wenyama.
Ngokuhlengwa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo, base bengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ababengokomoya futhi babemukele isimo sikaNkulunkulu.
Ngenxa yokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele kubo, babengasayidingi imithetho kaNkulunkulu ebhaliwe, ukuhamba entandweni yaKhe, ngoba uNkulunkulu wayefake imithetho yakhe ezingqondweni zabo njalo wayelobe ezinhliziyweni zabo.
Ngenxa yokwesaba nothando lwabo ngoNkulunkulu, babezohamba belandela uMoya futhi benze intando kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, njengoJesu, Owahamba emva kukaMoya futhi wagcwalisa umthetho kaNkulunkulu.
Umusa kaNkulunkulu wafika kubantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli
Thina esingamaJuda ngokwemvelo, hhayi izoni zabezizwe, sisazi ukuthi umuntu kalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomthetho, kodwa ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu, ngisho nathi sikholiwe kuJesu Kristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo lukaKristu, njalo kungeyisikho ngemisebenzi yomthetho: ngoba ngemisebenzi yomthetho kakulanyama ezalungisiswa. Kodwa uma, kuyilapho sifuna ukulungisiswa ngoKristu, nathi ngokwethu sifunyanwa siyizoni, ngakho-ke uKristu uyisikhonzi sesono? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Ngokuba uma ngibuye ngakhe lokho engikubhidlizile, ngizenza oweqa umthetho. Ngokuba ngomthetho mina ngafa kuwo umthetho, ukuze ngiphilele uNkulunkulu. Ngibethelwe kanye noKristu: nokho ngiyaphila; nokho hhayi mina, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi: futhi ukuphila engikuphilayo kalokhu enyameni ngikuphila ngokukholwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, owayengithanda, futhi wazinikela ngenxa yami. Angiwuphambanisi umusa kaNkulunkulu: ngoba uba ukulunga kuvela ngomthetho, khona-ke uKristu wafela ize (KwabaseGalathiya 2:15-21)
Ngokuba bonke abangabemisebenzi yomthetho bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso: ngoba kulotshiwe, Baqalekisiwe bonke abangaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshwe encwadini yomthetho ukuba bakwenze. Kodwa ngomthetho kakho olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, kuyabonakala: okwe, Olungileyo uyakuphila ngokukholwa. Nomthetho awusiwo owokholo: kodwa, Umuntu ozenzayo uyakuphila kuzo (KwabaseGalathiya 3:10-12)
Labo, ababengababantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama futhi baphenduka ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi bazalwa ngokusha, basindiswa futhi bahlengwa emandleni kasathane, ngokufa kwenyama, nangokuvuka kukaMoya kwabafileyo, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, baba amadodana kaNkulunkulu futhi bangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Abazange bayithole insindiso yabo kanye nesikhundla sabo esisha njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu kuKristu ngemisebenzi yabo, ngokwenza imisebenzi yomthetho, kodwa bathola insindiso yabo ngokholo lwabo kuJesu Kristu; iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga kanye negazi.
Umusa kaNkulunkulu weza kwabezizwe
Ngenxa yalokhu mina Pawulu, isiboshwa sikaJesu Kristu ngenxa yenu bezizwe, Uma nizwile ngesimiso somusa kaNkulunkulu engiwuphiwe kini: Ukuthi Wangazisa kanjani imfihlakalo ngesambulo; (njengoba ngike ngabhala ngaphambili ngamagama ambalwa, Lapho, lapho ufunda, niqonde ukwazi kwami emfihlakalweni kaKristu) Okwathi kwezinye izinkathi okwenziwanga kwaziwa kumadodana abantu, njengoba manje sembulelwe kubaphostoli bakhe abangcwele nabaprofethi ngoMoya; Ukuthi abezizwe babe yizindlalifa kanye nathi, kanye lomzimba ofanayo, nabahlanganyeli besithembiso sakhe kuKristu ngevangeli: ngenziwa isikhonzi sakho, ngokwesipho somusa kaNkulunkulu engiwuphiweyo ngokusebenza kwamandla akhe (Kwabase-Efesu 3:1-7)
Umusa nensindiso kaNkulunkulu kanye nokukhululwa komthetho, elisebenza enyameni, weza kuqala kubantu Bakhe benyama. Nokho, ngokulahlwa nokuwa kwabo, insindiso yafika kwabezizwe, lapho abezizwe baphiwa ithuba, njengabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ukusindiswa nokubuyisana noNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu nokuzalwa kabusha kuye nokuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu (owesilisa nowesifazane (AmaRoma 11:11, 15)).
Sindiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu
I ungawubhubhisi umusa kaNkulunkulu: ngoba uba ukulunga kuvela ngomthetho, khona-ke uKristu wafela ize (KwabaseGalathiya 2:21)
Imisebenzi yomuntu nokulalela umthetho kaMose; umthetho wesono nokufa kanye nokugcina yonke imiyalo, amasiko, amadili, imithetho yokudla, futhi imithetho yemihlatshelo ayikwazi ukusindisa umuntu futhi ihlenge umuntu esimweni sakhe sokuwa futhi ayikwazi ukwenza umoya womuntu uphile.. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokusindiswa nokuhlengwa emvelweni yesono, okukhona enyameni kungukufa enyameni (Funda futhi: Inqubo ebuhlungu eyaziwa ngokuthi ukufa futhi Ukulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke).
Ngakho-ke, Umuntu angasindiswa kuphela, hlengiwe, futhi balungisiswa ngoJesu Kristu nangegazi laKhe.
Kuphela ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye nokuvuma umsebenzi Wakhe nokuzalwa kabusha Kuye, umuntu angasindiswa futhi ahlengwe emandleni kadeveli, ngokufa kwenyama, nangokuvuka kukaMoya kwabafileyo, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, asuswe embusweni wobumnyama ayiswe embusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi angcweliswe futhi alunge ngegazi lakhe.
Awukwazi ukwamukela uMoya oNgcwele ngemisebenzi yakho, ungamukela uMoya oNgcwele kuphela ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu (KwabaseGalathiya 3:2)
Lapho umuntu ezalwa ngokusha futhi enziwa aphile futhi abe isidalwa esisha, onesimo sikaNkulunkulu futhi okuhlala kuye uMoya oNgcwele, intando kaNkulunkulu ibhalwe enhliziyweni yomuntu omusha. Ngakho-ke umuntu omusha uyohamba emva kwentando kaNkulunkulu futhi aphile entandweni Yakhe futhi enze imisebenzi yokulunga, ngokomthetho kaMoya.
Ngokuhamba ngokukholwa emva kukaMoya, umuntu omusha uyakugcwalisa umthetho, njengoJesu, Ongazange ahambe ngokwenyama kodwa wahamba ngokukholwa kuMoya futhi wagcwalisa umthetho kaNkulunkulu.
UJesu akezanga ukuzochitha umthetho kodwa ukuzochitha gcwalisa umthetho
Kanjalo makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, futhi nikhazimulise uYihlo osezulwini. Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho, kumbe abaprofethi: angizanga ukuchitha;, kodwa ukugcwalisa. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Kuze kudlule izulu nomhlaba, Akusoze kwadlula gamana linye nasicashana sinye somthetho, kuze kugcwaliseke konke (Mathewu 5:16-18)
UJesu Kristu akezanga ukuzochitha umthetho kodwa ukugcwalisa umthetho. UJesu wakubonisa lokho ngokwesaba nothando ayenalo ngoYise, Wayekwazi ukugcina yonke imiyalo kaBaba futhi enze imisebenzi Yakhe yokulunga.
Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya. Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa. Ngoba lokho umthetho owawungakwazi ukukwenza, ngoba lalibuthakathaka ngenyama, UNkulunkulu ethumela iNdodana yakhe siqu isesimweni senyama enesono, langesono, walahla isono enyameni: Ukuze ukulunga komthetho kugcwaliseke kithi, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya (AmaRoma 8:1-4)
Indalo endala, ohamba ngokwenyama, unobugovu futhi uholwa yimizwa yakhe, imizwelo, imizwa, futhi uyokwazi futhi ngeke akwazi ukugcwalisa ingxenye yomthetho yokuziphatha. Kodwa indalo entsha, osebethe inyama esiphambanweni futhi osephenduke umoya futhi uhamba emva kukaMoya, iyogcwalisa ingxenye yomthetho wokuziphatha, njengoJesu (Funda futhi: Ingabe umuntu uyakwazi ukugcwalisa umthetho?')
Imisebenzi yafakaza ngoJesu Kristu
Kodwa mina nginobufakazi obukhulu kunobukaJohane: ngokuba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuba ngiyifeze, imisebenzi efanayo engiyenzayo, fakaza ngaMi, ukuthi uBaba ungithumile. NoBaba uqobo Lwakhe, ongithumileyo, ufakaze ngaMi. Anikalizwanga izwi lakhe nanini, futhi asibonanga isimo saKhe (UJohane 5:36-37)
Kufanele ngenze imisebenzi yaLowo oNgithumileyo, kusesemini: buyeza ubusuku, lapho kungekho muntu ongasebenza (UJohane 9:4)
JuJesu wabaphendula, Ngikutshelile, kepha anikholwanga: imisebenzi engiyenza ebizweni likaBaba, bafakaza ngami. Kodwa anikholwa, ngoba anisibo abezimvu zami, njengokutsho kwami kini (UJohane 10:25-26)
Uma Ngingenzi imisebenzi kaBaba waMi, ningangikholwa Mina. Kodwa uma ngenza, nakuba ningakholwa yimi, kholwani imisebenzi: ukuze nazi, futhi nikholwe, ukuthi uBaba ukiMi, nami ngikuYe (UJohane 10:37-38)
UJesu wenza intando kaBaba nemisebenzi Yakhe yafakaza, ukuthi uJesu (futhi kunjalo) iNdodana kaNkulunkulu nokuthi uBaba wayeyithumele emhlabeni.
Njengemisebenzi yabaningi (ezenkolo) abaholi bafakaza ukuthi bangamadodana kadeveli nokuthi benza intando kayise udeveli (UJohane 8:44)
Futhi kanjalo wonke umuntu uyokwenza imisebenzi yalowo okungowakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, imisebenzi ifakaza ngomuntu angowakhe (Funda futhi: ‘Intando kaNkulunkulu vs intando kadeveli‘ futhi ‘Uyisigqila sikabani?‘)
Imisebenzi iyafakaza uma uyindodana kaNkulunkulu
Lowo okholwa ukuthi uJesu unguKristu uzelwe nguNkulunkulu: futhi wonke othanda ozalayo uthanda lozelwe nguye. Ngalokhu siyazi ukuthi siyabathanda abantwana bakaNkulunkulu, lapho sithanda uNkulunkulu, futhi ugcine imiyalo yaKhe. Ngoba lolu uthando lukaNkulunkulu, ukuthi sigcine imiyalo yakhe: nemiyalo yaKhe ayinzima. Ngokuba konke okuzelwe nguNkulunkulu kuyalinqoba izwe: futhi lokhu kuyinqobo enqoba izwe, ngisho nokukholwa kwethu (1 UJohane 5:1-4)
Ningamangali ngalokhu: ngoba ihola liyeza, lapho bonke abasemathuneni beyakulizwa izwi lakhe, Futhi izophuma; abenze okuhle, ekuvukeni kokuphila; lalabo abenze okubi, ekuvukeni kokulahlwa (UJohane 5:28-29)
Ngomusa, usindisiwe futhi ngokukholwa nokuzalwa kabusha, usungenile embusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu.
Manje njengoba usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu futhi awuseyona indodana kadeveli, uyakuphila njengendodana kaNkulunkulu ngomusa ngoMoya hhayi njengendodana kaSathane ngokwenyama ezonweni nasebubini. Ngoba ngokuzalwa kabusha inyama yenu ifile kuKristu.
Ngokuba isono asiyikubusa phezu kwenu: ngokuba aniphansi komthetho, kodwa ngaphansi komusa (AmaRoma 6:14)
Bavuma ukuthi bayamazi uNkulunkulu; kodwa ngemisebenzi bayaMphika, eyisinengiso, nabangalaleli, nakuwo wonke umsebenzi omuhle kakubalulekile. (Thithu 1:16)
Wonke umuntu angasho ukuthi uzelwe kabusha futhi uyamazi uNkulunkulu, kodwa indodana kaNkulunkulu ayihambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya, ngakho-ke indodana kaNkulunkulu ngeke ihlubuke, bahileleke ekukhonzeni izithombe, nobuthakathi, ukuphinga (isehlukaniso), ubufebe, ukungcola kobulili, futhi ngeke aqambe amanga, ukufisa, ukuhahela imali, khwabanisa, ukweba, bulala, njll.
Lithi iZwi, ukuthi abangalungile, abenza lemisebenzi yenyama, eziphuma enyameni, abasibo abakaNkulunkulu futhi abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu (Oh. 1 AbaseKorinte 6:10-11, KwabaseGalathiya 5:19-21, 1 UJohane 5:18)
Ekugcineni, wonke umuntu uyokwahlulelwa ngokwemisebenzi yakhe ngeZwi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi imisebenzi oyenzayo iyonquma insindiso yakho (Oh. UJohane 12:48, 2 AbaseKorinte 11:15, IsAmbulo 20:12-13; 22:12).
Ubudlelwano phakathi komusa nemisebenzi bu, ukuthi ngomusa nisindisiwe futhi ngemisebenzi yenu nisindisiwe
Ubudlelwano phakathi komusa nemisebenzi bu, ukuthi ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, usindisiwe futhi awusaphili, ngenyama, ngaphansi komthetho kodwa ngaphansi komusa. Nokho, imisebenzi oyenzayo ekubuyiselweni kwakho (ephulukisiwe) yisho njengomuntu omusha nemvelo yakho entsha, fakazela ukuthi uzelwe nguNkulunkulu futhi ungowaKhe futhi uhlala usindisiwe noma cha. Ngoba akubona bonke, osindisiwe ugcina insindiso yabo (AbaseFilipi 2:12-13, amaHebheru 3:6-19).
Ngokuba umusa kaNkulunkulu wokusindisa ubonakalisiwe kubantu bonke, Esifundisa lokho, bephika ukungamesabi uNkulunkulu nezinkanuko zezwe, kufanele siphile ngokuhluzeka, ngokulunga, kanye lokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu, kulo mhlaba wamanje; Sibheke lelo themba elibusisekile, nokubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu; Owazinikela ngenxa yethu, ukuze Asihlenge kubo bonke ububi, futhi azihlanzele isizwe esiyisizwe, oshisekela imisebenzi emihle (Thithu 2:11-13)
