Isichazamazwi sikaWebster seNew World College sichaza ukholo ngokuthi "inkolelo engenakuphikwa engadingi bungqina noma bufakazi; ukukholelwa ngokungagxili kuNkulunkulu, ezimisweni zenkolo ”
Tumelo: yini?
Ibhayibheli linikeza incazelo emfushane yokholo kumaHeberu 11: 1:
"Manje ukukholwa yisiqiniso salokho esikufisayo nokuqinisekile kwalokho esingakuboni." (Sithemba ini? Siyethemba uNkulunkulu uthembekile futhi uhlonipha izithembiso zakhe. Singaqiniseka ukuthi izithembiso zakhe zokusindiswa, impilo yaphakade nomzimba ovusiwe uyoba ngelinye ilanga ususelwe kuye ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu.
Ingxenye yesibili yale ncazelo ibona inkinga yethu: uNkulunkulu akabonakali. Ngeke silibone ipharadesi. Impilo engapheli, eqala ngokusindiswa kwethu komuntu lapha emhlabeni, nayo yinto esingayiboni, kepha ukholo lwethu kuNkulunkulu lusenza siqiniseke ngalezi zinto. Siyaphinda futhi, asithembeli ebufakazini besayensi nakonakalayo kepha ekuthembekeni ngokuphelele kwesimo sikaNkulunkulu.
Sifunda kuphi isimilo sikaNkulunkulu ukuze simethembe? Impendulo esobala yiBhayibheli, uNkulunkulu azembula kulo ngokuphelele kubalandeli bakhe. Konke esidinga ukukwazi ngoNkulunkulu kukhona, futhi isithombe esinembile nesijulile sendalo yakhe.
Enye yezinto esizifunda ngoNkulunkulu eziseBhayibhelini ukuthi uyakwazi ukuqamba amanga. Ukuthembeka kwaso kuphelele; Ngakho-ke, lapho ememezela ukuthi iBhayibheli liyiqiniso, singasamukela lesi simangalo, sisuselwa ebuntwini bukaNkulunkulu.Amavesi amaningi e-Bhayibheli awaqondakali, kepha amaKhristu awemukela ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu othembekile.
Tumelo: kungani siyidinga?
IBhayibheli liyincwadi yokufundisa yobuKristu. Akagcini ngokutshela abalandeli ukuthi ngubani okufanele bathembele, kodwa kungani kufanele simethembe.
Empilweni yethu yansuku zonke, amaKristu ahlaselwa evela kuzo zonke izinhlangothi ngokungabaza. Ukungabaza kwakuyimfihlo encane engcolile yomphostoli uThomas, owayehambe noJesu Kristu iminyaka emithathu, bemlalele nsuku zonke, bebona nezenzo zakhe, imbona ngisho nalapho embona evusa abantu kwabafileyo. Kepha lapho eza ovukweni lukaKristu, uTomase wacela ukuba ahlolwe.
Khona-ke (uJesu) wathi kuTomase: “Beka umunwe wakho lapha; bheka izandla zami. Yelula isandla sakho bese uyibeka eceleni kwami. Yekani ukungabaza futhi ukholwe ”. (Johane 20: 27, NIV)
UThomas wayengungabazeki odume kakhulu eBhayibhelini. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwemali, kumaHeberu isahluko 11, ibhayibheli yethula uhlu oluhlaba umxhwele lwabakholwayo abangamaqhawe beTestamente Elidala endimeni evame ukubizwa ngokuthi "I-Faith Hall of Fame". Lamadvodza nebafundzi kanye netindzaba tabo bavele bakhutsata baphindze baphonsele inselelo kukholwa kwetfu.
Kumakholwa, ukholo luqala uchungechunge lwezehlakalo eziholela ezulwini:
Ngokholo ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, amaKristu athethelelwe. Sithola isipho sensindiso ngokukholwa emhlatshelweni kaJesu Kristu.
Ngokuthembela ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, amakholwa asindiswa ekwahlulelweni lukaNkulunkulu esonweni nakwimiphumela yako.
Ekugcineni, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, siba ngamaqhawe okholo ngokulandela iNkosi ekuqhubekeni okukhulu okholweni.
Tumelo: siyithola kanjani?
Ngeshwa, enye yemibono eyiphutha enkulu empilweni yobuKristu ukuthi singazakhela ukholo lwethu. Ngeke sikwazi.
Silwela ukondla ukholo ngokwenza imisebenzi yobuKhrestu, sithandaze ngokwengeziwe, sifunda iBhayibheli ngokwengeziwe; ngamanye amagama, ukwenza, ukwenza, ukwenza. Kepha umBhalo uthi akuyona indlela esithola ngayo:
"Ngoba kungomusa ukuthi wasindiswa, ngokukholwa - futhi lokhu hhayi nguwe uqobo, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu - hhayi uMartin Luther, omunye wabaguquki bokuqala bobuKristu, waphikelela ukuthi ukholo luvela kuNkulunkulu osebenza kithi. futhi awukho omunye umthombo: "Cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asebenzise ukholo kuwe, noma uzohlala unomphela ngaphandle kokholo, kungakhathaleki ukuthi yini oyifisayo, ongayisho noma ongayenza."
ULuther nabanye abafundisi bezenkolo baqokomisa isenzo sokulalela ivangeli elishunyayelwe:
"Kungani u-Isaya athi, 'Nkosi, ngubani okholelwe lokho akuzwile kithi?' Ngakho-ke ukukholwa kuvela ngokuzwa nokuzwa ngezwi likaKristu. " (Kungaleso sizathu le ntshumayelo isiphenduke isizinda sezinsizakalo zokukhulekelwa kwamaProthestani. IZwi elishiwoyo likaNkulunkulu linamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo ukwakha ukholo ezilalelini.
Lapho ubaba othukuthele eza kuJesu ecela ukuba indodana yakhe enamademoni iphulukiswe, le ndoda yasho lesi sizathu esihle:
“Masinyane ubaba womfana wamemeza: 'Ngiyacabanga; ngisize nginqobe ukungakholelwa kwami! '”(Le ndoda yayazi ukuthi ukholo lwayo lwalubuthakathaka, kodwa kwaba nomqondo owenele ukuphendukela endaweni efanele usizo: uJesu.
