UbuKristu: fumana indlela yokumvuyisa uThixo
Fumanisa ukuba iBhayibhile ithini ngokwenza ukonwaba uThixo
"Ndingamenza njani uThixo onwabe?"
Kumphezulu, oku kubonakala ngathi ngumbuzo ongawubuza ngaphambi kweKrisimesi: "Umfumana ntoni umntu onayo yonke into?" U-Thixo, owadala kwaye enayo yonke indalo, akafuni nto kuthi, koko lulwalamano esithetha ngalo. Sifuna ulwalamano olunzulu, nolusondele ngakumbi noThixo, kwaye yiyo loo nto ayifunayo.
UYesu Krestu watyhila indlela yokumvuyisa:
UYesu waphendula wathi: "'Thanda iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela.' Lo ngowona mthetho mkhulu kunye nowokuqala, kwaye owesibini uyafana: "Thanda ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu." "(Mateyu 22: 37-39, NIV)
Nceda, uThixo uyamthanda
Imizamo yokulawula nokucima iya kusilela. Nokuba luthando. UThixo ufuna intliziyo yethu yonke, umphefumlo nomphefumlo wethu uphela.
Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uye wathandana kakhulu nomnye umntu kangangokuba bahlala bezalisa iingcinga zakho. Awunakho ukuzikhupha entlokweni yakho, kodwa ubungafuni ukuzama. Xa umthanda umntu ngenkanuko, ubeka yonke into yakho kuyo, phantsi komphefumlo wakho.
Ngale ndlela uDavide wamthanda ngayo uThixo, uDavide wagqitywa nguThixo, enothando olukhulu kunye neNkosi yakhe. Xa ufunda iiNdumiso, ufumanisa ukuba uDavide uphalaza iimvakalelo zakhe, enganqweneleki ngomnqweno wakhe ngaloThixo umkhulu:

Ngamanye amaxesha uDavide wayengumoni oneentloni. Sonke si-peccia, ukanti uThixo wambiza uDavide "yindoda yentliziyo yam". Uthando lukaDavide ngoThixo lwalunyanisile.
Sibonisa uthando lwethu ngoThixo ngokugcina imiyalelo yakhe, kodwa sonke siyayenza gwenxa. UThixo uyayibona imizamo yethu emincinci njengezenzo zothando, kanye njengabazali abayiqondayo imifanekiso yekrayoni eluhlaza. Ibhayibhile isixelela ukuba uThixo ujonga iintliziyo zethu, ebona ukusulungeka kweenjongo zethu. Umnqweno wethu wokungazingci wokuthanda uThixo uyamkholisa.
Xa abantu ababini bethandana, bakhangela lonke ithuba lokuba kunye ngelixa bezonwabisa ngokwazana. Ukuthanda uThixo kuzibonakalisa ngendlela efanayo, kuchitha ixesha phambi kobukho bakhe-ukumamela ilizwi lakhe, ukumbulela nokumdumisa, okanye ukufunda nokucamngca ngeLizwi lakhe.
Uyamvuyisa uThixo ngendlela oyiphendula ngayo kwimibuzo yakho. Abantu abasixabisayo isipho soMnikiweyo bazingcayo. Kwelinye icala, ukuba ukwamkela ukuthanda kukaThixo kulungile kwaye kufanelekile-nokuba kujongeka ngokwahlukileyo- isimo sakho sengqondo sikhulile ngokomoya.

Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana. (Yohane 13:35, NIV)
Asinakulandela uKrestu sibe ngabazonda. Zombini azihambi kunye. Ukuze umonwabise uThixo, kufuneka wahluke ngokupheleleyo kwihlabathi liphela. Abafundi bakaYesu bayalelwa ukuba bathandane kwaye baxolelane kwanaxa iimvakalelo zethu zisilinga.
