Inyaniso yevangeli malunga nendlela yokuya ezulwini
Enye yeembono ezixhaphakileyo phakathi kwamaKristu nabangengawo amakholwa kukuba unokufika ezulwini ngokuba ngumntu olungileyo.
Isimanga sokungakholelwa kukuba siyasityeshela ngokupheleleyo isidingo sedini likaYesu Krestu emnqamlezweni ngenxa yezono zehlabathi. Ngapha koko, ibonisa ukusilela kokuqonda into uThixo ayijonga njengelungileyo.
Ilungile njani?
Ibhayibhile, iLizwi likaThixo eliphefumlelweyo, linokuthethwa okuninzi malunga nento ebizwa ngokuba "kukulunga" koluntu.
“Wonke umntu ukhukulisiwe; akukho wenza okulungileyo, akukho nokuba abe mnye ”. (INdumiso 53: 3, NIV)
“Sonke sibe njengongahlambulukanga, kwaye zonke izenzo zethu zobulungisa zifana neengubo ezimdaka; sabuna njengamagqabi sonke, njengomoya, izono zethu zisikhusele. (Isaya 64: 6, NIV)
"Kutheni undibiza ngokulungileyo?" Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akukho ulungileyo, mnye kwaphela, nguThixo. (Luka 18:19, NIV)
Ububele, ngokokutsho kwabantu abaninzi, bungcono kunababulali, abadlwenguli, abathengisi beziyobisi kunye namasela. Ukupha isisa kunye nokuba nembeko kunokuba yinto yabantu abathile yokulunga. Bayazibona iziphene zabo kodwa bacinge, xa bebonke, bangabantu abanesidima ngokwaneleyo.
UThixo kwelinye icala akalunganga. UThixo ungcwele. Kuyo yonke iBhayibhile, siyakhunjuzwa ngesono sakhe. Akakwazi ukwaphula imithetho yakhe, iMithetho Elishumi. Kwincwadi yeLevitikus, ubungcwele bukhankanywa izihlandlo ezili-152. Umgangatho kaThixo wokungena ezulwini, ke, ayikuko ukulunga, kodwa ubungcwele, inkululeko epheleleyo esonweni.
Ingxaki engenakuphepheka yesono
Ukusuka ku-Adam no-Eva kunye nokuwa, umntu ngamnye wazalwa enesono. Imvakalelo yethu ayisiyonto elungileyo kodwa esonweni. Sisenokucinga ukuba silungile, ngokuthelekisa abanye, kodwa asizizo iingcwele.
Ukuba sijonga kwimbali kaSirayeli kwiTestamente eNdala, elowo kuthi ubona ukufana nomzabalazo ongapheliyo ebomini bakhe: ukuthobela uThixo, ukungamthobeli uThixo; ukunamathela kuThixo, ukumgatya uThixo, ekugqibeleni, sonke sibuyele esonweni. Akukho mntu unokufikelela kumgangatho kaThixo wobungcwele ukuba angene ezulwini.
Kumaxesha eTestamente eNdala, uThixo wayisingatha le ngxaki yesono ngokuyalela amaJuda ukuba abingelele ngezilwanyana ukucamagushela izono zawo:
“Kuba umphefumlo wendalo usegazini, kwaye ndikunikile ukuba uzicamagushele esibingelelweni; Ligazi elenzela umntu isicamagushelo. (Levitikus 17:11, NIV)
Inkqubo yokubingelela ebandakanya umnquba wasentlango kwaye kamva itempile yaseYerusalem ayizange yenzelwe ukuba isisombululo esisigxina kwisono sabantu. Yonke iBhayibhile yalatha kuMesiya, uMsindisi wexesha elizayo othenjiswe nguThixo ukuba asombulule ingxaki yesono kube kanye.
“Xa ithe yadlula imihla yakho waza walala kookhokho bakho, ndiya kuyivelisa inzala yakho eyokungena esikhundleni sakho, eyinyama yakho negazi lakho, ndibuzinzise ubukumkani bakhe. Nguye oya kulakhela igama lam indlu, ndiyiqinise itrone yobukumkani bakhe, kude kuse ephakadeni. (2 Samuweli 7: 12-13, NIV)
Kambe ke yayiyintando kaNdikhoyo ukumtyumza nokumenza ukuba abandezeleke, kodwa nangona esenza ubomi bakhe abe lidini lesono, uya kuyibona inzala yakhe, ayolule imihla, kwaye ukuthanda kukaYehova kuyaphumelela esandleni sakhe. "(Isaya 53:10, NIV)
Lo Mesiya, uYesu Krestu, wagwetywa ngenxa yazo zonke izono zoluntu. Uthathe isohlwayo esifanelwe luluntu ngokufa emnqamlezweni, kwaza kwafezekiswa imfuneko kaThixo yedini legazi elifezekileyo.
Isicwangciso sikaThixo sosindiso asisekelwanga kubantu abalungileyo-kuba abanakuze balunge ngokwaneleyo-kodwa ekufeni okuhlawulelayo kukaYesu Krestu.
Uyokufika njani ezulwini indlela kaThixo
Kuba abantu abanakuze balunge ngokwaneleyo ukufikelela ezulwini, uThixo ulungiselele indlela, ngokuzithethelela, ukuba ubabalwe ngokulunga kukaYesu Krestu:
"Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade" (Yohane 3:16, NIV)
Ukufikelela ezulwini ayisiyonto yokugcina imiyalelo, kuba akukho mntu unako. Kwaye akukho malunga nokuba nesimilo, ukuya ecaweni, ukutsho inani elithile lemithandazo, ukwenza uhambo okanye ukufikelela kumanqanaba olwazi. Ezo zinto zinokufanekisela ukulunga ngemilinganiselo yonqulo, kodwa uYesu utyhila izinto ezibalulekileyo kuye nakuYise:
"Ekuphenduleni, uYesu wathi:" Ndikuxelela inyani, ukuba akakho umntu onokububona ubukumkani bukaThixo ngaphandle kokuba azalwe ngokutsha "(Yohane 3: 3, NIV)
Waphendula uYesu wathi: "Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi. Akukho namnye uzayo kuBawo ngaphandle kokuza ngam ”. (Yohane 14: 6, NIV)
Ukufumana usindiso ngo-Krestu yinkqubo elula ngokuthe ngcembe engenanto yakwenza nemisebenzi okanye ukulunga. Ubomi banaphakade ezulwini buza ngesisa sikaThixo, isipho. Iphunyezwa ngokholo kuYesu, hayi kwintsebenzo.
Ibhayibhile ligunya lokugqibela ezulwini kwaye inyaniso yayo icacile:
Ukuba uthe wavuma ngomlomo wakho ukuba uyiNkosi uYesu, wakholwa ngentliziyo yakho ukuba uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo, wosindiswa. (KwabaseRoma 10: 9, NIV)
