Impendulo yomKristu kukuba ulongamo lukaThixo lungaphaya kokuqonda komntu. Ingqondo yomntu ayinasiqonda isizathu sokuba uThixo avumele ubungendawo nokubandezeleka; endaweni yoko, sibizelwe ukuba nokholo kwaye sikholose ngokulunga nothando lukaThixo.
Injongo elungileyo kaThixo
Umphumo wokuthembela kulongamo lukaThixo kukwazi ukuba iinjongo zakhe ezilungileyo ziya kufezekiswa. Akukho nto inokuma kwindlela yesicwangciso sikaThixo; Imbali iyakwenziwa ngokokuthanda kukaThixo:
KwabaseRoma 8:28
Kwaye Siyazi ukuba uThixo wenza ukuba yonke into isebenzisane ukuze kulunge abo bathanda uThixo nababiziweyo ngokwenjongo yakhe ngabo. (NLT)
Efese 1:11
Ngapha koko, ngenxa yokuba simanyene noKrestu, sifumene nelifa kuThixo, kuba usinyule kwangaphambili, ukuze yonke into isebenze ngokwecebo lakhe. (NLT)
Iinjongo zikaThixo zezona zibalulekileyo ebomini bomKristu. Ubomi bethu obutsha kuMoya kaThixo busekelwe kwiinjongo zethu kuthi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kubandakanya ukubandezeleka. Ubunzima kobu bomi bunenjongo kwisicwangciso sobukhosi sikaThixo:
Yakobi 1: 2–4, 12
Bazalwane noodade abathandekayo, xa kuvela ingxaki zalo naluphi na uhlobo, ziqwalasele njengethuba lovuyo olukhulu. Kuba uyazi ukuba xa ukholo lwakho luvavanywa, amandla akho anethuba lokukhula. Ke mayikhule, ngoba xa ukumelana kwakho kuphuculwe ngokupheleleyo, uya kuba ufezekile kwaye ugqibelele, awuzukufuna nto ... UThixo abasikelele abo banyamezele izilingo kunye nezilingo. Emva kwexesha baya kufumana isithsaba sobomi esithembiswe nguThixo kwabo bamthandayo. (NLT)
Ulongamo lukaThixo luphakamisa ubutshaba
I-theological conundrum ikwaphakanyiswa bubukumkani bukaThixo.Ukuba ke nguThixo olawula yonk 'into, banokuyifumana njani abantu inkululeko yokuzikhethela? Kuyabonakala kwiSibhalo kunye nobomi bemihla ngemihla ukuba abantu banenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Senza ukhetho olulungileyo nolubi. Nangona kunjalo, uMoya oyiNgcwele ubongoza intliziyo yomntu ukuba ikhethe uThixo, ukhetho olulungileyo. Kwimizekelo kaKumkani uDavide kunye nompostile uPawulos, uThixo uyasebenza kunye nokhetho olubi lomntu lokuguqula ubomi.
Inyaniso embi yeyokuba abantu abanesono abafaneli nto evela kuThixo ongcwele. Asinakho ukukhohlisa uThixo emthandazweni. Asinakulindela ukuba ubomi obutyebileyo nobungenazintlungu, njengoko kuthunyelwe kwivangeli yokuchuma. Kwaye asinakulindela ukufika ezulwini kuba "ungumntu olungileyo". U-Yesu Krestu sanikezelwa kuthi njengendlela eya ezulwini. (Yohane 14: 6)
Inxalenye yolongamo lukaThixo kukuba ngaphandle kokungafaneleki, ukhetha ukusithanda aze asisindise. Inika wonke umntu inkululeko yokwamkela okanye yokwala uthando.
