Ngaba umKristu ufanele azive enetyala xa eyonwabela ukonwaba emhlabeni?
Ndifumene le imeyile ivela kuColin, umfundi ofunda indawo enombuzo onomdla:
Nasi isishwankathelo esifutshane sokuma kwam: ndihlala kwintsapho ekumgangatho ophakathi kwaye, nangona singekho kwaphela kwinkcitho yethu, sinazo izinto eziqhelekileyo ezifumaneka kusapho olunjalo. Ndifunda kwikholeji yaseyunivesithi apho ndiqeqeshelwa ukuba ngumfundisi-ntsapho. Kwakhona, ndingathi ndihlala ubomi obungafanelekanga bokuba ngumfundi ogqithileyo. Ubukhulu becala bendisoloko ndikholelwa kuThixo kwaye kutsha nje bendizama ukuphila ubomi bobuKristu. Ngenxa yale nto, ndaba nomdla wokuba nesimilo ngakumbi kwizinto endizithengayo, umzekelo, ukutya kurhwebo okufanelekileyo okanye ukuphinda usebenze kwakhona.
Kutshanje, nangona kunjalo, ndiyibuzile indlela yam yokuphila nokuba iyimfuneko okanye ayifuni. Ngale nto ndithetha ukuba andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiziva ndinetyala malunga nokuba kuninzi kwabantu emhlabeni abanobuncinci. Njengoko benditshilo, ndiziva ngathi ndizama ukumodareyitha izinto kwaye ndizama ukungaze ndichithe ixesha elininzi.
Umbuzo wam, ke, yile: ngaba kulungile ukonwabela izinto endinethamsanqa lokuba nazo, nokuba zizinto, izihlobo okanye nokutya? Okanye ngaba kufuneka ndizive ndinetyala kwaye mhlawumbi ndizame ukuyeka uninzi lwezi? "
Ndifunde kwinqaku lakho eliqondayo: "Iingcamango eziqhelekileyo malunga namaKristu amatsha." Kukuwo la manqaku mabini ahambelana nalo mbuzo:
Ukungaqondani 9 - AmaKristu akufuneki onwabele naziphi na iziyolo zasemhlabeni.
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo wadala zonke izinto ezilungileyo, ezilungileyo, ezimnandi nezimnandi esinazo kulo mhlaba njengentsikelelo kuthi. Isitshixo asibambeleli kwezi zinto zomhlaba ngokuqinileyo. Kufuneka siziqonde kwaye sizonwabele ngeentsikelelo zethu zivulwe izandla zethu kwaye zijongile phezulu. "
- Ndiyakholelwa lonto nam.
Ukungaqondi 2 -Ukuba ngumKristu kuthetha ukuyeka konke ukuzonwabisa kunye nokulandela imigaqo yobomi.
Ubukho obungonwabisiyo bokuthobela nje umthetho ayibobobuKrestu bokwenyani kunye nobomi obuninzi obulungiselelwe nguThixo. "
-Kwakhona, le yimvakalelo endivumelana kakhulu nayo.
Ukuqukumbela, iimvakalelo zam ngoku kukuba kufuneka ndizame ukunceda abanye ngokusemandleni ngelixa ndiqhubeka nendlela yam yangoku. Ndingayibulela kakhulu nayiphi na imbonakalo yakho kwezi mvakalelo.
Enkosi kwakhona,
UColin
Phambi kokuba siqale impendulo yam, masisekele isiseko sebhayibhile sikaYakobi 1:17:
"Zonke izipho ezilungileyo nezigqibeleleyo zivela phezulu, zehla zivela kuYise wezikhanyiso zasezulwini, ongatshintshi njengezithunzi ezihambayo." (NIV)
Ke, ngaba simele siziva sinetyala ngokufumana uyolo lwasemhlabeni?
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo wadala umhlaba nayo yonke into ekuwo ukuze sonwabe. UThixo ufuna sibunandiphe bonke ubuhle kunye nommangaliso awudalileyo. Isitshixo, nangona kunjalo, kukuhlala ubambelele kwizipho zikaThixo ngezandla ezivulekileyo kunye neentliziyo ezivulekileyo. Kuya kufuneka sizimisele ukuyiyeka nanini na xa ugqiba isigqibo sokuthatha enye yezi zipho, nokuba zezothandekayo, ikhaya elitsha okanye isidlo sangokuhlwa.
U-Yobhi, indoda yeTestamente eNdala, wayenandipha ubutyebi obukhulu obuvela eNkosini. Wayegqalwa njengendoda elilungisa nguThixo. Xa waphulukana nayo yonke into awayithethayo kuYobhi 1:21:
Ndazalwa ndingekazalwa esizalweni sikamama
ndakuba ndihambile, ndohamba.
INkosi yandinika oko ndinako
uNdikhoyo wamthabatha.
Dumisani igama leNkosi! "(NLT)
Iingcamango zokujonga
Mhlawumbi uThixo ukukhokelela ukuba uphile ubuncinci ngenjongo? Mhlawumbi uThixo uyazi ukuba uya kufumana ulonwabo olukhulu kunye nolonwabo kubomi obungenabunzima, ngaphandle kwezinto eziphathekayo. Kwelinye icala, mhlawumbi uThixo uya kusebenzisa iintsikelelo ozifumeneyo njengengqina lokulunga kwakhe kubamelwane bakho, izihlobo nosapho.
Ukuba uyifuna imihla ngemihla kwaye ngokungqongqo, iya kukukhokelela kwisazela sakho, elo lizwi lizolileyo langaphakathi. Ukuba uyamthemba ngezandla ezivulekileyo, iintende zezandla ezixhonywe kwindumiso ngenxa yezipho zakhe, uhlala ezibuyisela kuye ukuba uzakuzicela, ndiyakholelwa ukuba Intliziyo yakho iya kukhokhelwa luxolo.
Ngaba uThixo angabizela umntu kubomi bobuhlwempu kunye nokuzincama ngenjongo-leyo ezisa uzuko kuThixo-ngelixa ebiza omnye umntu kubomi bobutyebi bezimali, kananjalo ngenjongo yokuzisa uzuko kuThixo? Ndiyakholelwa ukuba impendulo nguewe. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba bobabini ubomi buya kusikelelwa ngokulinganayo kwaye buzaliswe luvuyo lokuthobela kunye nemvo yolwaneliseko ekuhlaleni kwintando kaThixo.
Ingcinga enye yokugqibela: mhlawumbi kukho ityala elincinci kukonwaba kolonwabo oluviwa ngawo onke amaKristu? Oku kunokuba kukukhumbuza ngedini likaKristu kunye nobabalo lukaThixo nokulunga kwakhe. Igama elingcono linokuba ngumbulelo. UColin ukuthethile oku kwi-imeyile elandelayo:
"Xa ndicinga, ndicinga ukuba mhlawumbi kuyakuhlala kukho ityala elincinci, nangona kunjalo oku kuyanceda, kuba kusikhumbuza ngezipho othetha ngazo."
