Kuza kwenzeka ntoni ngomhla womgwebo? NgokweBhayibhile ...
Yintoni intsingiselo yomhla womgwebo eBhayibhileni? Iza kufika nini? Kuza kwenzeka ntoni xa ifika? Ngaba amaKristu agwetywa ngexesha elahlukileyo kunabantu abangakholwayo?
Ngokwencwadi yokuqala kaPeter, uhlobo lomhla womgwebo sele luqalile kumaKristu kobu bomi. Kudala ngaphambi komhla wokubuya kukaYesu okwesibini kunye nokuvuka kwaba. Leyo.
Kuba lifikile ixesha lokuba umgwebo uqale kusapho lukaThixo; kwaye ukuba iqala ngathi okokuqala, sizakuba yintoni isiphelo sabo bangayithobeliyo ivangeli kaThixo? (1Peter 4: 17, HBFV naphina ngaphandle kokuba kuboniswe ngenye indlela)
Ukucacisa ngakumbi, loluphi uhlobo lovavanyo oluqala kusapho lukaThixo? Ingaba indima ye-17 ka-1 Petros 4 ibhekisa kwimbandezelo nezilingo anazo amaKristu kobu bomi okanye kumhla womgwebo ozayo (cf. IsiTyhilelo 20:11 - 15)?
Kwiindinyana ezandulelayo kwivesi ye-17, uPetros uxelela amaKristu ukuba anyamezele izilingo ebomini banomoya omnandi. Umongo ubonakalisa ukuba umgwebo kaThixo ngoku usekwe kumakholwa, ngelixa ugweba indlela esisabela ngayo kwizilingo zethu kunye nezilingo zethu ebomini, ngakumbi ezo ezingazenzisiyo okanye ezingafanelekanga.
Umgwebo ku-1 Petros nakwezinye iindawo kwiTestamente eNtsha ikakhulu ubhekisa kwinkqubo yokuvavanya isimilo somntu ukusukela xa aguqulwa abe lixesha lokufa kwakhe.
Into eyenziwa ngumKristu ngexesha lokuphila kwakhe igqiba isiphumo sobomi babo obungenasiphelo obuzayo, nokuba isikhundla sabo siphakamile ebukumkanini bukaThixo siya kuba njalo, njalo njalo.
Ngapha koko, ukuba izilingo, iimvavanyo kunye nokubandezeleka kulwaphula ukholo lwethu kwaye kusenze siyeke ukulandela indlela kaThixo yobomi njengesiphumo, asinakusindiswa kwaye silinde isiphelo sethu ngomhla womgwebo. Kwabo bangamaKristu ngenene, into abayenzayo ngeli xesha lobomi igqiba ngendlela uBawo wethu waseZulwini aza "kubagweba" ngayo kamva.
Ukholo kunye nokuthobela
Ukuchaneka ngakumbi kwezakwalizwi, nangona ukholo lubalulekile ekungeneni eBukumkanini, intobelo okanye imisebenzi elungileyo iyafuneka ukumisela ukuba iyintoni na imbuyekezo kunye noxanduva lomntu ngamnye kobo bukumkani (1 AbaseKorinte 3:10 - 15).
Ukuba umntu akanayo imisebenzi elungileyo kodwa athi unokholo, loo mntu "akagwetyelwanga," kuba akanalo ukholo olusebenzayo nolusindisayo olumkhokelela kobo bukumkani (Yakobi 2: 14 - 26).
Kuba inani eliqingqiweyo lamaKristu okwenyani abiziweyo kobu bomi bukhoyo, "umhla wabo womgwebo" sele uqalile, njengoko amanqanaba abo okholo kunye nokuthobela kusetyenziswa kobu bomi kuya kumisela imeko yabo yanaphakade (bona uMateyu 25:14 - 46, uLuka 19: 11 - 27).
AmaKristu, nangona egwetywe ngexesha lokuphila kwawo emhlabeni, aya kuma phambi kukaKristu aphendule ngento ayenzileyo. Umpostile uPawulos wabhala ngale nto xa wayesithi sonke siya kuma phambi kwesihlalo sokugweba sikaThixo (KwabaseRoma 14:10).
Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba kukho izicatshulwa ezininzi apho uThixo aqala khona ukugweba okanye ukohlwaya isono nabantu baKhe (bona u-Isaya 10:12, uHezekile 9: 6, jonga kuAmosi 3: 2). Oku kuyinyani ngokukodwa kwincwadi kaJeremiya, njengokuba ngelo xesha uJuda wayesohlwaywa phambi kweBhabheli kunye nezinye izizwe ezijikeleze uMhlaba oNgcwele (jonga uYeremiya 25:29 kunye nezahluko 46 - 51).
Ubuntu phambi koThixo
Elona xesha likhulu lokugweba lichazwa njengelenokwenzeka emva kokuqala kwenkulungwane.
Kwaye ndabona abafileyo, abancinci nabakhulu, bemi phambi koThixo; Zavulwa iincwadi; kwavulwa nenye incwadi, eyincwadi yobomi. Kwaye abafileyo bagwetywa ngezinto ezibhaliweyo ezincwadini, ngokwemisebenzi yabo (ISityhi. 20:12).
Abantu kolu vuko banako ukusindiswa, okuyinyaniso emangalisa leyo eya kothusa abaninzi abakholelwa ukuba uninzi lwabafileyo baya esihogweni ngomhla wokufa kwabo.
Ibhayibhile ifundisa ukuba uninzi lwabantu, olungazange lubenalo ithuba elipheleleyo lokusindiswa kobu bomi, luza kufumana ithuba lokuqala lokusindiswa emva kokuba bevukile (Yohane 6:44, IZenzo 2:39, UMateyu 13 : 11 - 16, KwabaseRoma 8:28 - 30).
Xa abo bangazange babizwe okanye baguquke basweleka, abayanga ezulwini okanye esihogweni, kodwa bahlala nje bengekho zingqondweni (INtshumayeli 9: 5-6, 10) de kube sekupheleni kweminyaka eliwaka yolawulo lukaKristu emhlabeni. "Kwizihlwele ezingahlanjwanga" kolu luvuko lwesibini (Isityhilelo 20: 5, 12-13), baya kufumana isithuba seminyaka embalwa yokuguquka bamkele uYesu njengoMsindisi (Isaya 65:17, 20).
Ibhayibhile ityhila ukuba "umhla womgwebo" wokuqala wamaKristu lixesha lokuguquka kwawo abe kukufa ngokwasemzimbeni.
Kumawaka ezigidi ezingenakubalwa zabantu (ezidlulileyo, ezangoku nezexesha elizayo) abaphila ubomi benyama bengenalo ithuba elipheleleyo lokuqonda ivangeli, abangazange "bakhanyiselwe" kwaye "bangcamle iLizwi elilungileyo likaThixo" (KumaHebhere 6: 4-5), umhla wabo womgwebo kunye nokuziphatha usekwikamva. Iya kuqala xa bevuswa kwaye beza phambi kwetrone emhlophe kaThixo (Izityhilelo 20: 5, 11 - 13)
