Kuzokwenzekani ngosuku lokwahlulela? Ngokwebhayibheli ...
Ngabe iyini incazelo yosuku lwembubhiso eBhayibhelini? Izofika nini? Kuzokwenzekani lapho ifika? Ingabe amaKristu ahlulelwa ngesikhathi esingafani nabangewona amakholwa?
Ngokwencwadi yokuqala kaPeter, uhlobo lwembubhiso seluqalile kumaKhristu kulempilo. Kudala ngaphambi kosuku lokufika kukaJesu kwesibili nokuvuswa kwabafileyo.
Ngoba isikhathi sesifikile sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale ngomndeni kaNkulunkulu; futhi uma kuqala ngathi okokuqala, kuzoba yini ukuphela kwalabo abangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1Pet 4: 17, HBFV yonke indawo ngaphandle kokuthi kuboniswe ngenye indlela)
Ukucacisa kakhulu, hlobo luni lokuhlola oluqala ngomndeni kaNkulunkulu? Ngabe ivesi 17 laku-1 Petru 4 libhekisela ekuhluphekeni nasekuvivinyweni amaKristu anakho kulokhu kuphila noma osukwini oluzayo lokwahlulela (cf. Isambulo 20:11 - 15)?
Emavesini 17 asandulelayo, uPetro utshela amaKhristu ukuthi akhuthazelele izivivinyo zawo empilweni ngomoya omuhle. Umongo ukhombisa ukuthi isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu manje sisuselwa kumakholwa, ngenkathi sahlulela indlela esenza ngayo esivivinyweni nasevivinyweni zethu empilweni, ikakhulukazi lezo ezingazenzanga thina noma ezingafanele.
Isahlulelo esiku-1 Petru nakwezinye izindawo eTestamenteni eNtsha ikakhulukazi sisho inqubo yokuhlola indlela umuntu aziphatha ngayo kusuka lapho eguqulwa isikhathi sokufa kwakhe.
Lokho okwenziwa ngumKristu ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe kunquma umphumela wokuphila kwabo okuphakade okuzayo, ukuthi isikhundla sabo embusweni kaNkulunkulu siyobe siphakeme noma siphansi kangakanani, nokunye.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma izivivinyo, izivivinyo nokuhlupheka kuphula ukholo lwethu futhi kusenze siyeke ukulandela indlela kaNkulunkulu yokuphila, ngeke sisindiswe futhi sizolindela ikusasa lethu ngosuku lokwahlulela. Kulabo abangamaKhristu eqiniso, abakwenzayo phakathi nalempilo kunquma ukuthi uBaba wethu waseZulwini “uzobahlulela” kanjani kamuva.
Ukukholwa nokulalela
Ukuze ucace ngokwenkolo, yize ukholo lubalulekile ekungeneni eMbusweni, ukulalela noma imisebenzi emihle iyadingeka ukuthola ukuthi imivuzo nemithwalo yemfanelo yalowo nalowo kuzoba yini kulowo mbuso (1 KwabaseKhorinte 3:10 - 15).
Uma umuntu engenayo imisebenzi emihle, kepha athi unokukholwa, lowo muntu “akacaciswa” ngoba akanalo ukholo olusebenzayo futhi olusindisayo oluzomletha kulowo mbuso (Jakobe 2:14 - 26).
Kusukela inani elilinganiselwe lamaKristu eqiniso abizwayo ngale mpilo yamanje, "usuku lwabo lokwahlulela" seluvele seluqalile, ngoba amazinga abo okholo kanye nokulalela asetshenziswa kulempilo azonquma isimo sabo saphakade (bona uMathewu 25:14 - 46) , ULuka 19: 11 - 27).
Yize ahlulelwe ngesikhathi sokuphila kwabo kwasemhlabeni, amaKhristu asazokuma phambi kukaKristu aziphendulele ngalokho abakwenzile. Umphostoli uPawulu wabhala ngakho lapho ememezela ukuthi sonke siyobe simi phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 14:10).
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi kunemibhalo eminingana lapho uNkulunkulu aqala khona isahlulelo noma isijeziso sesono nabantu baKhe (bona u-Isaya 10: 12, uHezekeli 9: 6, cf.Amose 3: 2). Lokhu kunjalo ikakhulukazi encwadini kaJeremiya, ngoba ngaleso sikhathi uJuda kwakufanele ajeziswe ngaphambi kweBabiloni nezinye izizwe ezazizungeze iZwe Elingcwele (bona uJeremia 25: 29 kanye nezahluko 46 - 51).
Ubuntu phambi kukaNkulunkulu
Isikhathi sokwahlulela esikhulu kunazo zonke sichazwa njengezenzekile emva kokuphela kwenkulungwane yeminyaka.
Ngabona abafileyo, abancane nabakhulu, bemi phambi kukaNkulunkulu; kwavulwa nezincwadi; kwavulwa nenye incwadi, eyincwadi yokuphila. Futhi abafileyo babehlulelwa ngezinto ezilotshwe ezincwadini, ngokwemisebenzi yabo (Isambulo 20:12).
Abantu kulolu vuko basengasindiswa, okuyiqiniso elimangalisayo elizomangaza abaningi abakholwa ukuthi iningi labafi liya esihogweni ngosuku lokufa kwabo.
Ibhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi iningi lesintu, elingakaze libe nethuba eliphelele lokusindiswa ngale mpilo, lizothola ithuba lokuqala lokusindiswa ngemuva kokuvuswa (cf.Johane 6:44, Izenzo 2:39, UMathewu 13: 11-16, Rom 8:28 - 30).
Ngenkathi labo abangakaze babizwe noma baguqulwe bafa, abayanga ezulwini noma esihogweni, kodwa bamane bahlala bengazi lutho (UmShumayeli 9: 5 - 6, 10) kuze kube sekupheleni kweminyaka yokubusa kukaKristu emhlabeni. 'Kwizixuku ezingagezwanga' kulokhu kuvuswa kwesibili (Isambulo 20: 5, 12-13), bazothola isikhathi seminyaka eminingana ukuphenduka nokwamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi (u-Isaya 65: 17).
Ibhayibheli lembula ukuthi "usuku lokuphela komoya" wokuqala wamaKristu yisikhathi esukela ekuguqukeni kwawo ekufeni kwenyama.
Ezigidini zabantu ezingenakubalwa (ezedlule, zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo) abaphila impilo engokomzimba ngaphandle kwithuba eliphelele lokuqonda ivangeli, abangakaze 'bakhanyiselwe' futhi "banambithe iZwi elihle likaNkulunkulu" (Heberu 6: 4 - 5) ), usuku lwabo lwembubhiso nokuncipha kusasasa. Kuzoqala lapho zivuka futhi zize phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe sikaNkulunkulu (Isambulo 20: 5, 11 - 13)
