Ukuzindla kwanamuhla: Ukufakwa emzimbeni okuhlengile
UNkulunkulu nayo yonke imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu inkazimulo yomuntu; futhi umuntu uyindawo lapho kubuthwa khona konke ukuhlakanipha namandla kaNkulunkulu.Uma udokotela efakazela ikhono lakhe kwabagulayo, ngokufanayo uNkulunkulu uzibonakalisa kubantu. Ngakho-ke uPawulu uthi: "UNkulunkulu uvalele konke ebumnyameni bokungakholelwa ukuze asebenzise isihe kubo bonke" (cf. Roma 11:32). Akubhekiseli kumandla omoya, kepha kumuntu owayemi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimweni sokungalaleli futhi elahlekelwe ukungafi. Kodwa-ke, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, wathola isihe sikaNkulunkulu ngokufanele kanye nokuphakathi kweNdodana yakhe. Kanjalo waba nesithunzi sendodana yokutholwa kuye.
Uma umuntu ezothola ngaphandle kokuziqhenya okuyize inkazimulo eyiqiniso evela kokudaliwe nakulowo owakudalayo, okungukuthi, kuvela kuNkulunkulu, umninimandla onke, umdali wazo zonke izinto ezikhona, futhi uma ezohlala ku ukumthanda ngokuzithoba ngenhlonipho nangokumbonga okuqhubekayo, uzothola inkazimulo enkulu kakhulu futhi athuthuke ngokwengeziwe ngale ndlela aze afane nalowo ofile ukumsindisa.
Ngempela, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uqobo yehla "enyameni efana naleyo yesono" (Rom 8: 3) ukulahla isono, futhi, ngemuva kokusilahla, sayikhipha ngokuphelele esintwini. Wabiza umuntu ukuthi afane naye, wamenza umlingisi kaNkulunkulu, wamqala ngendlela ekhonjiswe nguYise ukuze akwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu futhi wamnika uBaba njengesipho.
IZwi likaNkulunkulu lenza ikhaya lakhe phakathi kwabantu laba yiNdodana yomuntu, ukujwayela umuntu ukuqonda uNkulunkulu nokujwayela uNkulunkulu ukubeka ikhaya lakhe kumuntu ngokwentando kaYise. Kungaleso sizathu uNkulunkulu uqobo asinika “isibonakaliso” sokusindiswa kwethu lowo ozelwe yiNkosazana, ingu-Emmanuel: ngoba yona kanye iNkosi eyasindisa labo ngokwabo ababanga nethuba lokusindiswa.
Ngalesi sizathu uPaul, ekhombisa ubuthakathaka obukhulu bomuntu, uthi "Ngiyazi ukuthi okuhle akuhlali kimi, okungukuthi, enyameni yami" (Rom 7: 18), ngoba ubuhle bokusindiswa kwethu abuveli kithi, kepha luvela kuNkulunkulu Futhi uPaul uyababaza: «Ngingumuntu omubi! Ngubani ozongikhulula kulo mzimba ozinikelwe ekufeni? " (Rom 7: 24). Ngemuva kwalokho kuveza umkhululi: Uthando olukhululekile lweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu (cf. Roma 7:25).
U-Isaya uqobo ubikezele lokhu: Qinisa, izandla ezibuthakathaka namadolo axegayo, isibindi, ukhungathekile, uziduduze, ungasabi; bheka uNkulunkulu wethu, sebenza ukulunga, unikeze umvuzo. Nguye uqobo ozofika abe yinsindiso yethu (cf.Is 35: 4).
Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi asinalo usindiso oluvela kithi, kodwa kuNkulunkulu, osisizayo.
