Sele ingaphezu kweminyaka engama-30 okoko ndaguqukela kubuKristu ndanikela ubomi bam kuKristu, kwaye ndingakuxelela ukuba ubomi bobuKristu abuyondlela ilula, “yokuva kamnandi”. Ayizi nephakheji yeenzuzo eziqinisekisiweyo zokusombulula zonke iingxaki zakho, ubuncinci hayi kweli cala lezulu. Kodwa andizukurhweba ngayo ngoku nangayiphi na enye indlela. Iingenelo ziyodlula lee imingeni. Ekuphela kwesizathu sokwenene sokuba ngumKristu, okanye njengoko abanye besithi, ukuguqukela ebuKristwini, kungenxa yokuba ukholelwa ngentliziyo yakho yonke ukuba uThixo ukho, ukuba iLizwi lakhe—iBhayibhile—liyinyaniso yaye uYesu Kristu uyiloo nto athi uyiyo: “Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi”. ( Yohane 14:6 )

Ukuba ngumKristu akwenzi ubomi bakho bube lula. Ukuba ucinga njalo, ndicebisa ukuba ujonge ezi ngcamango ziqhelekileyo malunga nobomi bobuKristu. Ngokunokwenzeka, awuyi kufumana imimangaliso yokwahlula elwandle yonke imihla. Ukanti iBhayibhile inikela izizathu ezininzi ezibalulekileyo zokuba ngumKristu. Nanga amava amahlanu aguqula ubomi afanele ukuqwalaselwa njengezizathu zokuguqukela kubuKristu.

Phila olona thando lukhulu
Akukho mbonakaliso yozinikelo olukhulu ngakumbi, okanye umbingelelo omkhulu wothando ngaphezu kokuncama ubomi bomnye ngenxa yomnye. UYohane 10:11 uthi: “Akukho bani unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu, lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele izihlobo zakhe.” (NIV) Ukholo lobuKristu lwakhelwe kolu hlobo lothando. UYesu wanikela ngobomi bakhe ngenxa yethu: “UThixo ubonisa uthando lwakhe kuthi ngokuthi: ngoxa sasisengaboni, uKristu wasifela.” ( Roma 5:8 )

KwabaseRoma 8:35-39 siyabona ukuba xa sithe safumana uthando lukaKrestu olungagungqiyo, olungenamiqathango, akukho nto inokusahlula kulo. Yaye kanye njengokuba silufumana ngesisa uthando lukaKristu, njengabalandeli bakhe, sifunda ukuthanda njengaye size sisasaze olu thando kwabanye.

Inkululeko yenkululeko
Ngokufana nokwazi uthando lukaThixo, akukho nto ithelekiswa nenkululeko yomntwana kaThixo xa ekhululwe kubunzima, ityala, kunye nehlazo elibangelwa sisono. AmaRoma 8:2 athi: “Yaye ngenxa yokuba ningabakhe, amandla oMoya onika ubomi anikhulule kumandla esono esikhokelela ekufeni.” (NLT) Ekusindisweni, izono zethu zixolelwe okanye "zihlanjwe." Njengoko sifunda iLizwi likaThixo kwaye sivumela uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele ukuba asebenze ezintliziyweni zethu, siya sikhululeka ngakumbi kumandla esono.

Kwaye asinakufumana inkululeko kuphela ngoxolelo lwesono kunye nokukhululeka kumandla esono phezu kwethu, kodwa siqala ukufunda ukuxolela abanye. Njengoko siyeka ukucaphuka, inzondo, nenzondo, amatyathanga ebesithimbile ayaqhawuka ngezenzo zethu zoxolelo. Ngamafutshane, uYohane 8:36 ukubeka ngolu hlobo oku, “Ukuba ke uNyana uthe wanikhulula, noba nikhululekile inene.” (NIV)

Fumana uvuyo noxolo oluhlala luhleli
Inkululeko esiyifumana kuKristu izala ulonwabo oluhlala luhleli kunye noxolo olungagungqiyo. Eyoku-1 kaPetros 1:8-9 ithi, “Nakuba ningamboniyo, niyamthanda; nokuba animbonili ke ngoku, nikholwa kuye; nizaliswa luvuyo olungathethekiyo, oluzukisiweyo, nisamkela isiseko sokholo lwenu, usindiso ke lwemiphefumlo yenu. (NIV)

Xa sifumana uthando lukaThixo kunye noxolelo, uKrestu uba ngundoqo wovuyo lwethu. Akubonakali kunokwenzeka, kodwa naphakathi kwezilingo ezikhulu, uvuyo lweNkosi luyabila ngaphakathi kwethu kwaye uxolo lwakhe luhlala phezu kwethu: “Kwaye uxolo lukaThixo, olugqithisele kuko konke ukuqonda, luya kuzigcina iintliziyo zenu neentliziyo zenu. iingqondo ezikuKristu Yesu.” (Funda eyabaseFilipi 4:7.)

Amava obudlelwane
UThixo wathumela uYesu, okuphela koNyana wakhe ukuze sibe nolwalamano naye. Eyoku-1 kaYohane 4:9 ithi: “Le yindlela uThixo alubonakalise ngayo uthando lwakhe phakathi kwethu: Wathumela uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo ehlabathini ukuze sidle ubomi ngaye.” (NIV) UThixo ufuna ukunxulumana nathi ngobuhlobo obusenyongweni. Uhlala ekhona ebomini bethu, ukuze asithuthuzele, asomeleze, amamele kwaye asifundise. Uthetha nathi ngeLizwi lakhe, usikhokela ngoMoya wakhe. UYesu ufuna ukuba ngumhlobo wethu osenyongweni.

Fumana amandla akho okwenene kunye nenjongo
Sidalwe nguThixo yaye sidalelwe nguThixo.” Eyabase-Efese 2:10 ithi: “Kuba singumsebenzi kaThixo, sidalelwe kuKristu Yesu ukuba senze imisebenzi elungileyo, awayilungisayo ngenxa engaphambili ukuba siyenze. (NIV) Sadalelwa unqulo. ULouie Giglio, kwincwadi yakhe ethi The Air I Breathe, ubhala oku: “Unqulo ngumsebenzi womphefumlo womntu.” Esona sikhalo sinzulu esisezintliziyweni zethu kukuba simazi kwaye simnqule uThixo, njengoko sikhulisa ubudlelwane bethu noThixo, usiguqula ngoMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele sibe ngulo mntu sidalwe ukuba singuye. Kwaye xa siguqulwa ngeLizwi lakhe, siqala ukusebenzisa kwaye siphuhlise iziphiwo uThixo azibeke ngaphakathi kwethu.Sifumanisa amandla ethu apheleleyo kunye nenzaliseko yokwenyani yokomoya njengoko sihamba kwiinjongo kunye nezicwangciso uThixo angasenzelanga thina kuphela, kodwa. wasiyila. Akukho mpumelelo yasemhlabeni inokuthelekiswa nala mava.
