Ubungcwele bukaThixo yenye yeempawu zakhe ezisa iziphumo ezinkulu kumntu ngamnye osemhlabeni.
KwisiHebhere samandulo, igama eliguqulelwe ngokuthi "ngcwele" (qodeish) lithetha "ukwahlula" okanye "ukwahlulwa". Ukucoceka kokuziphatha nokuziphatha okugqibeleleyo kukaThixo kuye kwahlula kubo bonke abanye abantu kwindalo iphela.
Ibhayibhile ithi, "Akukho uyingcwele njengeNkosi." (1 Samuweli 2: 2, NIV)
Umprofeti uIsaya wabona umbono kaThixo apho iiserafi, izidalwa ezinamaphiko zezulu, zabizana: "Uyingcwele, uyingcwele, uyingcwele iNkosi uSomandla." (Isaya 6: 3, NIV) Ukusetyenziswa kwe "ngcwele" izihlandlo ezithathu kugxininisa ubungcwele bukaThixo, kodwa abanye abaphengululi beBhayibhile bakholelwa ukuba kukho "ingcwele" yelungu ngalinye likaBathathu Emnye: uThixo uYise, uNyana kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele. Umntu ngamnye ngobuThixo ulingana ngobungcwele kwabanye.
Kubantu, ubungcwele kuthetha ukuthobela umthetho kaThixo, kodwa kuThixo, umthetho awukho ngaphandle-uyinxalenye yomxholo wakhe. UThixo ngumthetho. Akakwazi ukuziphikisa kuba ukulunga kokuziphatha kuyindalo yakhe.
Ubungcwele bukaThixo ngumxholo ophindaphindiweyo eBhayibhileni
Kuso sonke isiBhalo, ubungcwele bukaThixo ngumxholo ophindaphindayo. Ababhali beBhayibhile benza umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwesimilo seNkosi kunye nesobuntu. Ubungcwele bukaThixo babuphezulu kakhulu kangangokuba ababhali beTestamente eNdala bade bakuphepha ukusebenzisa igama likaThixo, awalityhilela uThixo kuMoses kwityholo elalisitsha kwiNtaba yeSinayi.
Oosolusapho bokuqala, uAbraham, uIsake noYakobi, babhekisa kuThixo njengo "El Shaddai", oko kukuthi uSomandla. Xa uThixo waxelela uMosisi ukuba igama lakhe ngu "NDINGUYE ENDINGUYE", eliguqulelwe njengo-YAHWEH ngesiHebhere, wamtyhila njengoMntu ongadalwanga, okhoyo AmaHebhere amandulo ayelibona eli gama lingcwele kangangokuba lalingabizwa ngokuvakalayo, endaweni yoko babambela "Nkosi".
Xa uThixo wanika uMoses imiyalelo elishumi, wakulela ngokucacileyo ukusebenzisa igama lakhe ngokungalihloniphi igama likaThixo.
Ukutyeshela ubungcwele bukaThixo kukhokelele kwiziphumo ezibulalayo. Oonyana baka-Aron, uNadabhi noAbhihu, benza ngokuchasene nomyalelo kaThixo kwimisebenzi yabo yobubingeleli kwaye bababulala ngomlilo. Kwiminyaka emininzi kamva, xa uKumkani uDavid wayehambisa ityeya yomnqophiso enqwelweni - ngokuchasene nemiyalelo kaThixo- yajikwa xa iinkomo zakhubeka kwaye indoda egama linguUza yayibamba ukuze izinzise. UThixo wambetha u-Uza ngoko nangoko.
Ubungcwele bukaThixo busisiseko sosindiso
Okumangalisayo kukuba, icebo losindiso lalisekelwe kwinto kanye eyahlula iNkosi ebantwini: ubungcwele bukaThixo.Kwiminyaka engamakhulu eminyaka, abantu beTestamente eNdala bakwaSirayeli babebotshelelwe kwinkqubo yamadini ezilwanyana ukucamagushela awabo. izono. Nangona kunjalo, eso sisombululo sasisesokwexeshana. Ngexesha lika-Adam, uThixo wayebathembisile abantu uMesiya.
Kwakufuneka uMsindisi ngenxa yezizathu ezithathu. Okokuqala, uThixo wayesazi ukuba abantu abanakuze bahlangabezane nemilinganiselo yakhe yobungcwele ngokugqibeleleyo ngokuziphatha kwabo okanye ngemisebenzi elungileyo. Okwesibini, kwakufuna idini elimsulwa ukuhlawula ityala lezono zoluntu. Okwesithathu, uThixo wayeza kusebenzisa uMesiya ukudlulisela ubungcwele kumadoda nabafazi abanesono.
Ukuze anelise isidingo sedini elingenakuthelekiswa nanto, nguThixo ngokwakhe owaba nguMsindisi. U-Yesu, unyana kaThixo, wazalwa enomntu, ezelwe ngumfazi kodwa egcina ubungcwele bakhe kuba wayekhulelwe ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. Oko kuzalwa kwentombi kuthintele ukugqithiswa kwesono sika-Adam kuye uKristu umntwana. Xa uYesu wayesifa emnqamlezweni, yaba lidini elilungileyo, lokohlwaywa ngenxa yazo zonke izono zoluntu, eyadlulayo, yangoku neyexesha elizayo.
UThixo uYise wamvusa uYesu kwabafileyo ukubonisa ukuba wamkela umnikelo ogqibeleleyo kaKristu. Yiyo loo nto, ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantu bayayithobela imigangatho yakhe, uThixo ubeka ubungcwele bukaKristu kumntu ngamnye owamkela uYesu njengoMsindisi wabo. Esi sipho sasimahla, esibizwa ngokuba lubabalo, siyathethelela okanye senza wonke umlandeli kaKristu abe ngcwele. Ngokuthwala ubulungisa bukaYesu, bakulungele ke ukungena ezulwini.
Kodwa akukho nanye kwezi ebinokwenzeka ngaphandle kothando lukaThixo, enye yeempawu zakhe ezigqibeleleyo. Ngenxa yothando, uThixo wayekholelwa ukuba umhlaba kufanelekile ukusindiswa. Uthando ngokwalo lwamkhokelela ekubeni abingelele ngoNyana wakhe amthandayo, emva koko asebenzise ubulungisa bukaKristu kubantu abahlawulelweyo. Ngenxa yothando, kwa obu bungcwele babubonakala ngathi ngumqobo ongenakoyiswa baba yindlela kaThixo yokunika ubomi obungunaphakade kubo bonke abamfunayo.
