Amakhadi okubulisa kunye nezitikha zevenkile yezipho ebonisa iingelosi njengabantwana abahle amaphiko ezemidlalo kunokuba yindlela eyaziwayo yokubabonisa, kodwa iBhayibhile iveza umfanekiso ohluke ngokupheleleyo weengelosi. EBhayibhileni, iingelosi zibonakala zingabantu abakhulu abanamandla nabasoloko bebothusa abantu ababandwendwelayo. Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezinje ngoDaniel 10: 10-12 noLuka 2: 9-11 zibonisa ukuba iingelosi zibongoza abantu ukuba bangaboyiki. IBhayibhile inenkcazelo ebangel 'umdla ngeengelosi. Nazi ezinye izinto eziqaqambileyo ezithethwa yiBhayibhile ngeengelosi-izidalwa zikaThixo zasezulwini ngamanye amaxesha ezisincedayo apha eMhlabeni.
Khonza uThixo ngokusikhonza
UThixo wadala intabalala yezinto ezingafiyo ezibizwa ngokuba ziingelosi (ngesiGrike zithetha "abathunywa") ukuba basebenze njengabalamli phakathi kwakhe nabantu ngenxa yomsantsa ophakathi kobungcwele bakhe obugqibeleleyo nokusilela kwethu. Eyoku-1 kuTimoti 6:16 ityhila ukuba abantu abanakumbona ngqo uThixo. Kodwa amaHebhere 1:14 athi uThixo uthumela iingelosi ukunceda abantu abaza kuhlala naye ezulwini.
Abanye bathembekile, abanye bawa
Ngelixa iingelosi ezininzi zihlala zithembekile kuThixo kwaye zisebenzela ukuzisa ukulunga, ezinye iingelosi zajoyina ingelosi eyileyo egama linguLusifa (ngoku eyaziwa ngokuba nguSathana) xa wayevukela uThixo, ke ngoku basebenzela iinjongo ezimbi. Iingelosi ezithembekileyo neziswelekileyo zihlala zilwa umlo wazo emhlabeni, zineengelosi ezilungileyo ezizama ukunceda abantu kunye neengelosi ezimbi ezizama ukuhenda abantu ukuba bone. Kungoko eyoku-1 kaYohane 4: 1 isikhuthaza isithi: "... musani ukukholelwa kubo bonke oomoya, kodwa kuvavanyeni oomoya ukuba ngabakaThixo na ...
Ukubonakala kweengelosi
Zinjani iingelosi xa zityelela abantu? Iingelosi ngamanye amaxesha zibonakala ngendlela yasezulwini, njengengelosi uMateyu 28: 2-4 ichaza ihleli kwilitye likaYesu Krestu emva kokuvuka kwakhe inombala omhlophe oqaqambileyo ofana nombane.
Kodwa iingelosi ngamanye amaxesha zithatha imbonakalo yomntu xa zityelele uMhlaba, ke amaHebhere 13: 2 alumkisa athi: "Musani ukulibala ukubuk 'iindwendwe kubantu abangabaziyo, kuba ngokwenza njalo abanye babonisa ukubuk' iindwendwe bengazi."
Ngamanye amaxesha, iingelosi azibonakali, njengoko amaKolose 1:16 etyhila: “Ngokuba zadalelwa kuye zonke izinto, ezisemazulwini nezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakaliyo, nokuba ziitrone, nokuba zibubukhosi, nokuba zizilawuli, nokuba ngamagunya; zonke izinto zidalwe ngaye, zidalelwe yena.
IBhayibhile yamaProtestanti ikhankanya kuphela iingelosi ezimbini ngegama: uMichael, olwa imfazwe noSathana ezulwini noGabriyeli, oxelela iNtombikazi enguMariya ukuba izakuba ngumama kaYesu Krestu. Nangona kunjalo, iBhayibhile ikwachaza iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeengelosi, ezinjengeekherubhi neeserafi. IBhayibhile yamaKatolika ikhankanya ingelosi yesithathu ngegama: uRafael.
Imisebenzi emininzi
IBhayibhile ichaza iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zemisebenzi eyenziwa ziingelosi, ukusuka ekunquleni uThixo ezulwini ukuya ekuphenduleni imithandazo yabantu abasemhlabeni. Iingelosi ezithunywe nguThixo zinceda abantu ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo, ukusuka kwisikhokelo ukuya ekufezekiseni iimfuno zomzimba.
Ngamandla, kodwa andinamandla onke
UThixo unike iingelosi amandla angenawo abantu, njengokwazi yonke into esemhlabeni, amandla okubona ikamva, kunye namandla okwenza umsebenzi ngamandla amakhulu.
Nokuba zinamandla kangakanani, iingelosi azazi zonke izinto okanye zinamandla onke njengoThixo iNdumiso 72:18 ithi nguThixo kuphela onamandla okwenza imimangaliso.
Iingelosi zizithunywa nje; abo bathembekileyo bathembele kumandla abawanikwe nguThixo ukuzalisekisa ukuthanda kukaThixo Ngelixa umsebenzi wamandla weengelosi ungakhuthaza uloyiko, ibhayibhile ithi abantu mabanqule uThixo endaweni yeengelosi zakhe. IsiTyhilelo 22: 8-9 sibhala indlela umpostile uYohane aqala ngayo ukukhonza ingelosi eyamnika umbono, kodwa ingelosi yathi yayingomnye wabakhonzi bakaThixo endaweni yoko yayalela uYohane ukuba anqule uThixo.
