Ngaba ukhona umthandazo wenguquko?
UYesu wasinika umthandazo ongumzekelo. Lo mthandazo kuphela komthandazo esithe sawunikwa ngaphandle kwalowo wenziwe "ngumthandazo waboni" owenziwe ngabantu.
Ngoko wathi kubo: “Xa sukuba nithandaza, yithini, Bawo wethu osemazulwini, malingcwaliswe igama lakho. Yiza ubukumkani bakho. Makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho nasemhlabeni, njengokuba kusenziwa emazulwini. Siphe isonka sethu semihla ngemihla, Usixolele izono zethu, njengokuba nathi sibaxolela bonke abanamatyala kuthi. Ungasingenisi ekuhendweni, kodwa usisindise kongendawo ”(Luka 11: 2-4).
Kodwa zininzi iimeko kwibhayibhile yonke apho inguquko ibonakalisiwe ngokunxulumene nesahluko seNdumiso 51. Njengabantu abaninzi e-Bhayibhileni, siyona sisazi ukuba siyona kwaye ngamanye amaxesha asiqondi nokuba siyona. Umsebenzi wethu kukuhlala sifulathele isono, nokuba kunzima.
Ukuxhomekeka kubulumko bukaThixo
Imithandazo yethu ingasikhuthaza, isiphakamise, kwaye isikhokelele enguqukweni. Isono sisikhokelela ekulahlekeni (Yakobi 1:14), sisitya iingqondo zethu, kwaye sisuse enguqukweni. Sonke sinokukhetha ukuba siyaqhubeka na ukona. Abanye bethu balwa neminqweno yenyama kunye neminqweno yethu yesono yonke imihla.
Kodwa abanye bethu bayazi ukuba asilunganga kwaye siyayenza loo nto (Yakobi 4:17). Nangona uThixo wethu enenceba kwaye esithanda ngokwaneleyo ukusinceda ukuba sihambe kumendo wobulungisa.
Ke, bubuphi ubulumko asinike bona iBhayibhile ukusinceda siqonde isono kunye neziphumo zaso?
Ewe, ibhayibhile izele bubulumko bukaThixo.Ntshumayeli 7 icebisa izinto ezinjengokungazivumeli ukuba ube nomsindo okanye ulumke kakhulu. Kodwa eyona nto indithathele ingqalelo kwesi sahluko ikwiNtshumayeli 7: 20, kwaye ithi, "Akukho mntu ulilungisa emhlabeni owenza okuhle angoni." Asinakho ukulahla isono kuba sizalelwe kuso (Ndumiso 51: 5).
Ukulingwa ngekhe kusishiye kobu bomi, kodwa uThixo usinike iLizwi lakhe ukuba silwe nalo. Inguquko iyakuba yinxalenye yobomi bethu njengokuba sihleli kulomzimba unesono. Ezi zizinto ezimbi zobomi ekufuneka sizinyamezele, kodwa akufuneki sivumele ezi zono zilawule ezintliziyweni nasezingqondweni zethu.
Imithandazo yethu isikhokelela enguqukweni xa uMoya oyiNgcwele esityhilela into emasiguquke ngayo. Akukho ndlela eyiyo okanye engalunganga yokuthandazela inguquko. Kungenxa yokuqiniseka okuyinyaniso kunye nokujika okubonisa ukuba sizimisele. Nokuba siyasokola. "Intliziyo enokuqonda izuza ulwazi, nendlebe yezilumko ifuna ukwazi" (IMizekeliso 18:15).
Ukuncika kubabalo lukaThixo
KwabaseRoma 7, ibhayibhile ithi asisabotshiwe ngumthetho nangona umthetho usasebenza ngobulumko bukaThixo. UYesu wafela izono zethu, saza ke sanikwa ubabalo ngenxa yelo dini. Kodwa kukho injongo emthethweni njengoko ityhile kuthi ukuba zeziphi na izono zethu (KwabaseRoma 7: 7-13).
Kuba uThixo ungcwele kwaye akanasono, ufuna ukuba siqhubeke siguquka kwaye sibaleke izono. KwabaseRoma 7: 14-17 ithi,
Ke ingxaki ayikho ngomthetho, kuba ungowomoya kwaye ulungile. Ingxaki ikum, kuba ndingumntu nje, ndingumkhonzi wesono. Andiziqondi ncam, kuba ndifuna ukwenza into elungileyo, kodwa andiyenzi. Ndenza oko ndikuthiyileyo. Kodwa ukuba ndiyayazi into endiyenzayo ayilunganga, ibonisa ukuba ndiyavuma ukuba umthetho ulungile. Ngoko ke asindim owenza ububi; Sisono esi sihlala kum esenza loo nto.
Isono sisenza siphosakele, kodwa uThixo usinike ukuzithiba kunye nobulumko bakhe kwiLizwi lakhe ukuze sijike. Asinakusixolela isono sethu, kodwa ngobabalo lukaThixo sisindisiwe. "Isono asiyi kuba namandla phezu kwenu, kuba aniphantsi komthetho kodwa niphantsi kobabalo" (KwabaseRoma 6:14).
Kodwa ngoku ubulungisa bukaThixo buzibonakalise bungahambelani nomthetho, nangona umthetho nabaprofeti bangqina ngako-ubulungisa bukaThixo ngokholo kuYesu Krestu kubo bonke abakholwayo. Kuba akukho kwahluka; kuba bonile bonke, basilela eluzukweni lukaThixo; bagwetyelwe ngobabalo lwabo njengesipho; ngako ukukhululwa ngentlawulelo ekuYesu Krestu, awathi uThixo wasicamagushela ngegazi lakhe. yamkelwe ngokholo. Oku yayikukubonisa ubulungisa bukaThixo, kuba ngenxa yokunyamezela kwakhe, wazoyisa izono zangaphambili. Yayikukubonisa ubulungisa bakhe ngeli xesha langoku, ukuze abe lilungisa kunye nokugwetyelwa kwabo banokholo kuYesu (KwabaseRoma 3: 21-27).
Ukuba siyazivuma izono zethu, kuthembekile kwaye kufanelekile ukusixolela izono zethu kwaye usihlambulule kuko konke ukungabi nabulungisa (1 Yohane 1: 9).
Kwisikimu esikhulu sezinto, siya kuhlala sibotshwa esonweni nasekuguqukeni. Imithandazo yethu eguqukileyo kufuneka isuke kwiintliziyo zethu kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele ngaphakathi kwethu. UMoya oyiNgcwele uya kukukhokela xa uthandaza uguqukile kwaye kuyo yonke imithandazo.
Imithandazo yakho ayifanelanga ukuba igqibelele, kwaye ayifanelanga ukuba ikhokelwe sisigwebo setyala kunye neentloni. Thembela kuThixo kuzo zonke izinto ebomini bakho. Phila ubomi bakho. Kodwa phila njengokulandela ubulungisa kunye nobomi obungcwele njengoko uThixo esibiza.
Umthandazo wokuvala
Thixo, siyakuthanda ngeentliziyo zethu zonke. Siyazi ukuba isono kunye neenkanuko zaso ziya kuhlala zisikhokelela kude kubulungisa. Kodwa ndiyathandaza ukuba siqwalasele ukuqiniseka kwakho osinika kona ngomthandazo nangenguquko njengoko uMoya oyiNgcwele usikhokela.
Enkosi, Nkosi uYesu, ngokuthatha idini ebesingasoze sikwazi ukulenza kwimizimba yethu yasemhlabeni nasesonweni. Kukulo dini apho sinethemba kwaye sinokholo lokuba kungekudala siza kukhululeka esonweni xa singena kwimizimba yethu emitsha njengokuba usithembisile, Bawo. Egameni likaYesu, Amen.
