Iqiniso elibi ukuthi abantu abanesono abafaneli lutho oluvela kuNkulunkulu ongcwele. Ngeke sikhohlise uNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko. Ngeke silindele impilo ecebile nengenabuhlungu, njengoba kushiwo ivangeli lokuchuma. Futhi ngeke silindele ukufika ezulwini ngoba “ungumuntu omuhle”. UJesu Kristu sanikezwa kithi njengendlela eya ezulwini. (Johane 14: 6)
