Kumwamba Kulipira?

Ngakhale titakhala ndi moyo wosadzikonda kuyambira pano, Zimenezo sizikanakhalanso monga momwe timayembekezera nthaŵi zonse. Koma silingabweze ngongole yomwe tinachita chifukwa cha zolakwa zathu zakale.

Ngakhalenso inunso, Mukachita zonse zomwe zikukulamulidwa, nena, Ndife antchito osayenera. Tachita ntchito yathu.’ (Luk 17:10)

Auzeni, Monga ine ndikukhala moyo, atero Ambuye Yehova, sindikondwera nayo imfa ya woipa;; koma kuti woipa aleke njira yake, nakhale ndi moyo: tembenuzani inu, kukubwezani ku njira zanu zoipa; pakuti udzaferanji?, nyumba ya Israyeli? (Eze 33:11,/x])

Choncho, kukumana ndi kulephera kwathu kupanga bwino zoperewerazo, zotheka ziwiri zokha zatsala. Mwinanso:

1. Mwangongole, Mulungu akanangochotsa ngongoleyo. Koma zimenezo zikanapangitsa Mulungu kukhala wabodza (kuwona Pr 2:17 Gen 3:4 & Gen 3:19) ndi kulola Satana kuti amuneneze Mulungu mopanda chilungamo, powona kuti Mulungu adzasankha kukhululukira anthu pamene akutsutsa Satana. Kapena,
2. Kumwamba kuyenera kulipira. Mulungu, amene wavutika kale ndi zowawa ndi zokhumudwitsa kuposa wina aliyense chifukwa cha zochita zathu ndi za Satana, ndi imodzi yokhayo yayikulu yokwanira kukhazikika. Mwa kusankha modzifunira kuvutika ndi zotsatira za uchimo wathu (mobwerezabwereza!) m’malo mwa ife, Yesu akudzipanga yekha m'malo mwathu. Koma, nthawi yomweyo, Satana akudzipanga yekha wakupha wamkulu; potero amamuchotsera kudzinenera kwake kwa kulekerera. Kunyada ndi chidani cha Satana zimamufikitsa ku chiwonongeko: pamene chikondi cha Mulungu chimatibwezera kwa Iye.

Atangoyamba ntchito imeneyi, Ndinapatsidwa buku la David Bentley Hart, “Kuti Onse adzapulumutsidwa. Kumwamba, Gahena & Chipulumutso cha Padziko Lonse.” Ndinali ndi, kumene, werengani mabuku angapo omwe ali ndi malingaliro ofanana kale. Koma ndinkafuna kuganizira kwambiri zimene Yesu ananena, m'malo mongotengeka ndi mikangano ndikuwukira kapena kuteteza zanga, kapena ena’ maudindo aumulungu. Chotero ndinaleka mwadala kuliŵerenga kufikira nditadzimva kukhala wokonzeka kuyamba ntchito imeneyi, mutu wanga wotseka.

David akuyamba mawu oyamba ndi mawu otsatirawa kuchokera kwa William James:

Ngati lingalirolo lidaperekedwa kwa ife la dziko lomwe ... mamiliyoni [ayenera kukhala] kukhala wosangalala mpaka kalekale pa mkhalidwe umodzi wosavuta wakuti munthu wina wotaika patali kwambiri ayenera kukhala ndi moyo wozunzika yekha., zomwe kupatula wokaikira [sic] komanso kutengeka kodziimira komwe kungatipangitse kumva nthawi yomweyo, ngakhale chikhumbo chinabuka mkati mwathu kuti tigwire chimwemwe choperekedwacho, chisangalalo chake chikakhala chonyansa chotani nanga atalandiridwa mwadala monga chipatso cha malonda oterowo?¹

Ili silinali buku loyamba limene ndinaŵerenga lochirikiza maganizo oterowo, choncho sizinali zodabwitsa: komabe ngakhale zinali choncho ndinadabwa ndi momwe zinandidabwitsa komanso kundikhumudwitsa. Chikutocho chinafotokoza kuti “N’choopsa, wamphamvu, kuukira anthu amene amakhulupirira kuti pali chiwonongeko chamuyaya.” Zimenezo zinali ndendende mmene ndinkayembekezera: ndipo chinali chifukwa chake sindinachedwe kuwerenga. Ndinkafuna kuganizira zotsutsanazo moyenera - kuyesa kupeŵa kukondera kwa malingaliro kapena kufuna kudzilungamitsa. Koma chomwe chidandidabwitsa kwambiri ndi momwe wolemba adawonekera kuti akusowa mfundo yofunika. Sindikufuna kutchula David chifukwa chotsutsidwa mwanjira imeneyi. Chowonadi ndi chakuti pali zambiri pano zomwe ndingamve chisoni nazo: pa, pamene ndimawerenga, Kuzindikira kwanga ndikuti Mbuye wanga akunyozedwa mosadziwa.

Zikatengedwa m'mawu ake oyambirira, William James’ question has a subtly different focus. Iye ali m’kati mwa njira yosonyeza kusiyana kumene kulipo pakati pa kulingalira ndi malingaliro; ndikufunsa mogwira mtima, “Kodi ukuona bwanji kuvomera munthu wina kukhala mbuzi yochotsera zolakwa zako??"² Yankho lake ndi losavuta: “Si chilungamo; ndipo zimandikhumudwitsa.” Nthawi yomweyo ndimadzimva kuti ndikutsutsana, podziwa kuti ndine wolakwa, popanda zifukwa zomveka zoti ndisangalale ndi mpumulo wotero. Koma m’mawu oyamba a Davide, funso ili landipangitsa ine kuyang'ana pa nkhani yolakwika - kuganiza zopanda chifundo za Mulungu aliyense yemwe angalole kuti zinthu zichitike..

Mwachionekere osati chilungamo kuti wina amve zowawa chifukwa cha chisangalalo changa. Koma funso lomwe ndiyenera kukumana nalo ndi ili: “Kodi ine ndekha ndine wokonzeka kuyankha mlandu wanga wonse wakale (ndi mtsogolo) zochita?” Kuti angatero khala wachilungamo; ndipo ndikudziwa ayenera kukhala wololera: koma sindine. Chifukwa lingaliro lomwelo limandiwopsyeza ine mopanda nzeru. Chifukwa chiyani izi? Pali zinthu ziwiri makamaka; zopanda malire ndi chilungamo.

Tikamaganiza za zopanda malire, timaganiza kwambiri za nthawi yopanda mapeto: koma chimenecho ndi gawo chabe la chithunzicho. Zopanda malire zikutanthauza opanda malire. Timalimbana ndi lingaliro la nthawi yopanda malire: koma pali zinthu zoopsa kwambiri kuposa izo. Poyeneradi, nthawi yosatha sikuti ndi yowopsa konse. ‘Anakhala mosangalala mpaka kalekale,’ ndiye mapeto apamwamba a nkhani za nthawi yogona za ana ambiri. Koma mulole ‘nthawi zonse’ kukhala wolemetsa ndipo ngakhale chokhumudwitsa chochepa kwambiri chingakhale chizunzo.

Komabe, chinthu china chowopsa kwambiri ndichofunika chilungamo. Chilungamo sichimasinthasintha: “Diso kulipa diso ndi dzino kulipa dzino.” Zimafuna kuti malipiro apangidwe mokwanira. Momwe timadana ndi kuopa lingalirolo, tiyenera kuvomereza kuti chilichonse chimene tingavulaze anthu ena chikuimira udindo umene tili nawo kwa iwo. Komabe zoona zake n’zakuti zotulukapo zambiri za zochita zathu sizingasinthidwe komanso zikupitirirabe. Kachitidwe kamodzi kopanda kulingalira kungawononge moyo ndi kusiya ena mumkhalidwe wachisoni ndi kutayikiridwa kosatha. Nanga bwanji za nthawi zija pamene zochita zathu sizinachitike mwangozi: koma wodzudzulidwa ndithu? Timayesetsa kunyalanyaza izi. Malingaliro, “Awole ku Gahena kwamuyaya!” zimatidabwitsa ndipo zimatisiya tikufunafuna njira ina yabwinoko. Ndikufuna 'chiwongola dzanja chochepa’ mawu olembedwa mu mgwirizano: koma ngongole zanga ndi zazikulu kuposa momwe ndingayembekezere kulipira. Ndiye njira yabwino bwanji’ apo? Palibe nkomwe - kupatula chifundo chopanda malire.

Ndipo nchifukwa chake ndatsala ndi maganizo osowetsa mtenderewo kuti Mbuye wanga akunenezedwa. Kusiyana pakati pa malingaliro anga ndi a Yesu ndikonyanyira kwambiri kuposa choko ndi tchizi. Ndimadana ndi lingaliro lovomereza kuti ndikhale ndi mlandu wonse pazovuta zomwe ndadzibweretsera: pamene Yesu akudzipereka yekha kuti apirire zowawa zilizonse ndi zotayika zomwe zimatengera kuti athe kubweza ngongole yanga! Osati kwambiri ngati munthu wamba wozunzidwa, wosalakwa kapena wolakwa, waweruzidwa ‘kukhala moyo wozunzika pawekha’ ‘kumalekezero akutali’ kuti tikhululukidwe ndi malo athu kumwamba.. Ngakhale, anali Mwana wokondedwa kwambiri wa Mulungu, Yesu - wapafupi ndi wokondedwa kwa Iye kuposa ubale uliwonse wa abambo ndi mwana - yemwe adapirira mazunzo a kulekanitsidwa koteroko.. "Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, Mwandisiyiranji Ine??" (Mat 27:46)³

Izi zinali zachilungamo kwa Yesu? Ayi!! Koma adakakamizika kuchita izi? Osati konse - anadzipereka! (Jn 10:17-18.)

Wolowa M'malo Wopanda Chilungamo

Chikhalidwe chathu chaumunthu chimavomereza mfundo yolowa m'malo. Mwachitsanzo, pafupifupi ngongole iliyonse yandalama ingathe kuthetsedwa mwamsanga ngati munthu wina wolemera angapezeke amene ali wokonzeka kuvomereza thayo la kulipira ngongole ya wina.. Izi zili choncho chifukwa cholinga chachikulu cha chilungamo pamilandu yowongoka ngati imeneyi nthawi zambiri chimakhala kutaya kwa wobwereketsayo. Kotero ngati kutayika kungapangidwe bwino, zonena za wobwereketsa zatha.

Koma chilungamo sichimangokhudza phindu losavuta ndi kutaya: imakhudzidwanso ndi ife monga anthu ozindikira - kuti ndife ndani komanso momwe tikumvera. Nanga bwanji za kupwetekedwa m’maganizo ndi mwakuthupi kochitidwa ndi wolakwayo? sayenera wolakwayo ndikumverera ululu womwewo umene wozunzidwayo amamva? Nanga munthu angatsimikize bwanji kuti akumvetsa kuopsa kwa cholakwa chake?, ndipo akhoza kudaliridwa kuti sadzakhumudwitsanso?

Izi zikutibweretsa motsutsana ndi mbali ziwiri za chilungamo zomwe zingasemphane; kubwezera kapena kuyanjanitsa? Kodi mbali zimenezi zimagwira ntchito yanji??

Ubwino ndi Woipa Wobwezera

Kubwezera ndi kubwezera kungakhale kovuta kwambiri kusiyanitsa wina ndi mzake: koma pali kusiyana kwakukulu; ndipo zikuyenera kuchita ndi momwe zimatipangira ife ndikumverera. Zimakhudza kukhutitsidwa - kapena ayi - zomwe timamva tikawona wolakwira akuchitiridwa nkhanza monga momwe adachititsira wina.. Mwachidule, ngati zimandisangalatsa kuona wina akuvutika monga momwe ndavutikira, ndiye ine ndili wabwino bwanji kuposa iwo?? Poyeneradi, sindingakhale woyipitsitsa, popeza kuvutika kwanga mwina sikunali cholinga chawo choyambirira? Uku ndi kubwezera. It is an evil at work in me; ndi, as noted previously, it is a primary contributing factor in a vicious downward spiral of destruction.

Reconciliation or Appeasement?

Mbali inayi, reconciliation more commonly brings with it a deep feeling of positive satisfaction as harmony is restored between individuals. There may have been loss: but that is more than compensated for by the feelings of love and forgiveness that are aroused, and the prospect of a better and brighter future. But not always. Apanso, there is an issue of moral purpose at work here which pinpoints the difference between reconciliation and appeasement. Reconciliation always seeks to establish a firmer foundation of love for all, even though that process may require further voluntary sacrifices by the one who has been disadvantaged. Mbali inayi, kusangalatsidwa ndi kokonzeka kunyalanyaza mfundo zazikulu za chikondi ndi chilungamo pofuna kupeŵa kuwononga ndalama zina zaumwini.

Mwachitsanzo, tiyeni tione mmene zinthu zilili panopa ponena za kuukira kwa Russia ku Ukraine. Mosasamala kanthu za zonena ndi zotsutsa zokhudzana ndi mbiri yakale ndi ndale, nkhani yomwe yangotsala pang'ono kutha ndi yakuti dziko la Russia lafuna kulanda dzikolo mokakamiza ndipo Ukraine yataya kwambiri. Kodi nkhaniyi ingathetsedwe bwanji?? Ngati Russia ikuloledwa kungosunga zopindulitsa zake, ndewu ikanatha - pakadali pano: koma vuto silinathe, ndipo pakakhala mantha osalekeza kuti kulandanso malo kwinanso kudzatsatira, chifukwa sipanakhale kusintha kwakukulu kwa malingaliro. Uku ndi kusangalatsa. ndipo, ngakhale Russia ikadavomereza kuti njira zake zinali zolakwika, ndipo kuchotsedwa ndi kulipidwa kunali koyenera, moyo wotayika ndi wowonongeka sungathe kusinthidwa. Palibe kuchuluka kwa chipukuta misozi komwe kungathetsere phindu.

Ndiye chimene chingapange ‘kuthetsa chilungamo’ Zikatero? Payenera kubwera nthawi yomwe wovulazidwayo ali wokonzeka kuletsa chiwongola dzanja chilichonse chomwe chatsala; koma pa maziko otani? Koposa zonse, adzakhala akufunafuna chitsimikizo chakuti wochimwayo wasinthadi mtima; kuti alidi achisoni chifukwa cha zochita zawo zakale ndipo ali otsimikiza mtima kusakhumudwitsanso. Ichi ndi maziko okhawo a chiyanjanitso chenicheni: koma zingatheke bwanji?

Kulinganiza Mamba a Chilungamo

‘Chilungamo’ amawonetsedwa bwino pamwamba pa bwalo la Old Bailey ku London ngati munthu atanyamula lupanga (kuimira kubwezera) m’dzanja limodzi ndi miyeso m’dzanja lina. Kuchokera pansi sikutheka kuwona zomwe zili mumiyeso: koma, mwachisawawa, Zikadagwiritsidwa ntchito kutsimikizira kulemera kwake kwa zinthu zomwe zikuwonetsa mikhalidwe yosiyana kwambiri. Chitsanzo chosavuta chakuthupichi chikugogomezera mbali ziwiri zofunika za chilungamo: oyamba, Chimene chimachitika kawirikawiri osati phatikizani zosavuta 'zokonda-zokonda’ kuyerekeza; ndipo kachiwiri kuti ife, kuyang’ana zinthu mmene tilili padziko lapansi pano, nthawi zambiri amatha kulephera kumvetsetsa bwino zifukwa zomwe zimawoneka ngati zosiyana zitha kutsimikiziridwa kukhala ndi zotsatira zofanana. Koma chachitatu, zofunika, Mbali ya chilungamo ikufotokozedwa mwachidule m'mwambi wakale, 'Justice amayenera kuchitidwa: ayenera kuonedwa kuti chichitidwe.’ Pamene pali chikaiko ponena za kulondola kwa kuyerekezera (e.g. Mikono yake ndi yopingasa komanso yofanana kutalika kwake?) pamenepo tingafunike kutembenukira ku mfundo ya ‘kuposa’ kufanana kuti wofuna kudzinenera akhoza kukhutitsidwa kwathunthu ndi chilungamo cha kuthetsa kwawo. Koma izi zimadalira pa gulu linalo kukhala lokonzekera kuvomereza kuthekera kwa kutayikiridwa kwina kwaumwini kaamba ka chigwirizano.

Yesu’ Kusintha Kopanda Chilungamo Kumapereka Chilungamo Changwiro

Kodi Iwo unali wopandamalire?

Osuliza kaŵirikaŵiri amafulumira kunena kuti masiku atatu a Yesu’ kuzunzika ndi imfa sizingafanane konse ndi kuzunzika kwa helo wamuyaya kwa munthu mmodzi, kusiyapo onse amene akanayenera kulangidwa m’nyanja yamoto, kaya chilangocho chingakhale chachifupi kapena chachitali. Koma iwo akulephera kumvetsetsa kuti ndani amene adazunzika pankhaniyi ndi kuchuluka kwa masautso omwe Iye adapirira.. Ngakhale kwa ife monga anthu, timazindikira kuti kuyatsa kandulo kamodzi kumakhala kowawa kwambiri kuposa kuyaka konse; ngakhale, kwa ife, Kuchulukitsitsa kwamalingaliro kumachepetsa kuvutika kwathu muzochitika zazikulu. Koma kwa Mulungu wopandamalire, wokhoza kukhala wodziwa nthawi imodzi maganizo a chilengedwe chake chonse, palibe malire omwe angathe. Komanso, timazindikiranso kulinganiza pakati pa nthawi ndi mphamvu; kotero kuti kuchulukitsa katatu kwa nthawi yoperekedwa kumakhala kofanana ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a mphamvu kwa nthawi zitatu. Sitingathe ngakhale kulingalira zomwe Yesu adamva zowawa pamene kulemera ndi kuopsa kwa zoipa zonse zomwe zachitika m'dziko lathu lapansi zidayikidwa pa iye.! (Is 53:6[\x]; 1Jn 2:2[\x]).

Ndipo si zokhazo. Tanena kale kuti Mulungu anamva ululu za zoipa zonsezi pamene zinayamba kuchitidwa, kuposa momwe tinachitira. Koma, m'malo mobwezera ife, M’malo mwake wasankha kupirira zowawa ndi chisoni chowonjezereka mwa kulola Mwana wake, Yesu, amene akonda monga gawo la iye mwini, kuti atenge chilango chathu; kwenikweni kuzunzika kawiri, ngati sichoncho!

Anagwidwa ndi Chikondi

Kalekale, olamulira nthawi zambiri ankachita zinthu monyanyira, koma wamphamvu, njira zopewera kusakhulupirika kobwerezabwereza. Iwo akanatenga akapolo; kusankha anthu omwe amadziwika kuti amakondedwa kwambiri ndi wolakwayo. Malingana ngati wolakwayo anakhalabe wokhulupirika ku malonjezo awo, moyo wa wokondedwa wawo unali wotsimikizika: koma ngati ayi, adzavutika. Pafupifupi aliyense ali ndi wina kapena chinachake chomwe chimatanthauza zambiri, ngati sichoncho, kuposa moyo wokha; ndipo kukonda munthu m'modzi kapena chinthu kumapereka chilimbikitso chachikulu ndi chitsimikizo cha zochita zawo. Osati kuti izi zikutanthauza kuti zolimbikitsa zotere zimakhala zabwino nthawi zonse. Kwa ena, kungakhale kukonda ndalama kapena mphamvu; kwa ena, kukonda ufulu kapena munthu wina. Anthu ndi zinthu zimene timasankha kuzikonda zimavumbula zambiri za umunthu wathu. koma, ichi ndi chinthu: chikondi chili ndi mphamvu zotisintha. Chikondi chosayenera chingatichititse kuti tiipire kwambiri monga mmene udani ungathere: koma chikondi cholondoleredwa bwino chili ndi mphamvu zosintha munthu woyipa kukhala woyera mtima.

Nthawi zambiri kugwidwa ndi ndondomeko yokayikitsa yomwe ingateteze kutsatiridwa: koma sizokayikitsa kuti zingayambitse chikondi chakuya pakati pa wolakwira ndi wolanda: koma pali zochitika zina zomwe zimatha kukhala ndi zotsatira zabwino kwambiri. Tangoganizani kuti wolakwiridwayo ali mnyamata wopanda udindo ndipo amakondana ndi mwana wamkazi wa wogwidwayo.; ndi, powona izi, m’malo momuletsa kuti akumane ndi mwana wake wamkazi, mnyamatayo akupatsidwa chiyembekezo cha ukwati! Izi sizingabweretse zotsatira zabwino kwambiri?

Woweruza Wangwiro

Ndinawona, m’dzanja lamanja la Iye wakukhala pa mpando wachifumu, bukhu lolembedwa mkati ndi kunja, losindikizidwa ndi zisindikizo zisanu ndi ziwiri. Ndinaona mngelo wamphamvu akulengeza ndi mawu okweza, “Ndani ali woyenera kutsegula bukulo, ndi kumatula zisindikizo zake?” Palibe m’mwambamwamba, kapena padziko lapansi, kapena pansi pa dziko lapansi, anatha kutsegula bukulo, kapena kuyang'ana mmenemo. Ndipo ndinalira kwambiri, chifukwa sanapezedwa munthu woyenera kutsegula bukulo, kapena kuyang'ana mmenemo. Mmodzi wa akulu aja anandiuza, “Musalire. Taonani, Mkango wa fuko la Yuda, Muzu wa Davide, wagonjetsa; amene atsegula bukulo, ndi zisindikizo zake zisanu ndi ziwiri.” Ine ndinawona…Mwanawankhosa atayima, ngati yaphedwa, okhala ndi nyanga zisanu ndi ziwiri, ndi maso asanu ndi awiri, yomwe ili Mizimu isanu ndi iwiri ya Mulungu, kutumizidwa ku dziko lonse lapansi. Kenako anabwera, nautenga ku dzanja lamanja la Iye wakukhala pa mpando wachifumu. Tsopano pamene iye analitenga bukhu, zamoyo zinayi ndi akulu makumi awiri mphambu anayi anagwa pansi pamaso pa Mwanawankhosa… Iwo anayimba nyimbo yatsopano, kunena, “Ndinu woyenera kutenga bukulo, ndi kutsegula zisindikizo zake: pakuti munaphedwa, ndipo munatigulira ife kwa Mulungu ndi mwazi wanu, kuchokera mu fuko lililonse, chinenero, anthu, ndi fuko, natiyesa mafumu ndi ansembe a Mulungu wathu, ndipo tidzalamulira padziko lapansi. (Rev 5:1-10)

M'makambirano oyambirira pa 'Kusatheka kwa Chikondi Chokakamiza', zinalongosoledwa kuti chimodzi mwa zofooka zachibadwa za chikondi ndicho, “angakakamizidwe bwanji? … Ngati pali wokakamiza, sadzaimbidwa mlandu wakuchita mwa kufuna kwake?” Koma apa tikuona njira ya Mulungu yothetsera vutoli. Buku lomandidwali likuimira ziweruzo za Mulungu kwa oipa ndi ochita zoipa. Koma pali Mmodzi yekha amene angaganizidwe kuti ndi woyenerera kuwakakamiza. Ndipo ameneyo ndi Yemwe chikondi chake pa olakwa chidali champhamvu kwambiri kotero kuti adasankha kupereka moyo wake ndi kupirira chilango chilichonse chomwe chidawapeza.; akadabwerera kusiya kudzikonda kwawo, njira zopanduka. Iye yekha ndiye Woweruza Wangwiro wa mtima wa munthu, komanso Mpulumutsi Wangwiro kwa iwo amene atembenukira kwa Iye.

Ndingasiye Bwanji Kuchimwa?

Monga momwe adanenera kale, Nthawi zambiri timaganiza mosadziwa kuti zikhoterero zonse zochimwa zimazimiririka tikafika kumwamba: koma ngati zinali zophweka bwanji sitingathe kuyimitsa pompano; ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani anthu sanamvere Mulungu poyamba?

Kunena zoona, zoona zake n’zakuti sindimakondabe Mulungu monga mmene ndimakondera zinthu zina zimene ndimakonda; ndipo nthawi zambiri ndimakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi zovuta zomwe zingachitike kwa ine kuposa momwe ndimaganizira zosowa ndi zovuta za ena. Osati chithunzi chokongola, Ndikuvomereza: koma ndikuganiza kuti ndikuwunika kowona komwe ndili pano. Ndiye maganizo anga asintha bwanji?

Pachiyambi, anthu sankadziwa chilichonse chokhudza zoipa. Zonse zomwe ankadziwa zinali zabwino – kukhala m'malo otetezedwa ndi malamulo osavuta. Iye anali atachenjezedwatu za chinyengo: koma, pamene anayang’anizana ndi zonena za Satana zakuti Mulungu anali kubisira mwadyera kanthu kena kamene kanawoneka bwino, adagwa chifukwa cha icho; ndipo wakhala moyo wake wonse akukumana ndi zokhumudwitsa ndi zopanda pake za moyo wopanda Mulungu, kukhala m'dziko lokonzedwa ndi luntha lomwe cholinga chake ndi kudyera masuku pamutu. Lakhala phunziro lovuta; ndipo watisiya ambiri a ife onyoza, zowawa ndi zokhotakhota zosazindikirika.

Ndipo komabe, ngakhale kuti tadzibweretsera chiwonongeko chonse, Mulungu ndi wokonzeka kutipatsa chiyanjanitso ndipo Yesu adadzipereka mwakufuna kwake ngati wolowa m'malo yekhayo wokhoza komanso wofunitsitsa kupirira chilango chosatha chomwe chilungamo chingafune kwa ife.. Pakali pano, Lingaliro la zomwe izi zikanatanthauza kwa Iye zimaposa mphamvu zanga za kulingalira. Sindingathe kuzilandira. Mwachifundo, kumvetsa kwanga kwakuya kwa manyazi, zowawa ndi chivundi chimene anthu angathe kugwa ndi kwa ine zinthu basi zinthu zoopsa: komabe kuwerenga mozama kwa mbiriyakale – kapena nkhani zatsiku ndi tsiku chabe – limapereka chenjezo lomveka bwino lakuti zoipa zoterozo zilipo.

Komabe, Ine ndikhoza kungolingalira izo, pamene zaka za muyaya zikupitirira, Ndidzadzipeza ndekha ndikuganiza choncho, ngati Yesu sanakonzekere kupirira zotulukapo zopanda malire za zoipa zanga, Ndikadaletsedwa kwamuyaya kuchoka pamalo odabwitsa amenewo. Ndipo ndi malingaliro aliwonse otere, chikondi changa ndi chiyamiko kwa iye ndi chikhumbo changa kukhala monga iye zidzachuluka, pamene ganizo lenilenilo la kupanda chikondi kodzikonda lidzakhala kwa ine chinthu chonyansa koposa zonse.

Ngakhale asanamwalire, Paulo Woyera anatsutsidwa ndi chikondi cha Yesu kotero kuti analimba mtima kunena:

Ine ndikunena zoona mwa Khristu. sindikunama, chikumbumtima changa chichita umboni pamodzi ndi ine mwa Mzimu Woyera, kuti ndili ndi chisoni chachikulu ndi kuwawa kosalekeza mumtima mwanga. Pakuti ndikadafuna kuti ine ndekha nditembereredwe kwa Khristu chifukwa cha abale anga’ chifukwa, abale anga monga mwa thupi… (Rom 9:1-3).

Sindingathe kupemphera pemphero loterolo. N'zoonekeratu, Sindinakhalepo pafupi ndi mlingo wa chikondi umenewo. koma, ichi ndi chiyambi chabe cha kusinthika kumene chikondi cha Yesu chidzabala mwa ife. Pambuyo pake, poyembekezera kuzengedwa mlandu pamaso pa Kaisara, Paulo analemba:

Osati kuti ndapeza kale, kapena ndapangidwa kale kukhala wangwiro; koma ndikulimbikira, ngati kuli kuti ndikagwire chimenenso anandigwira mwa Khristu Yesu. Abale, Sindimadziona ngati ndagwirabe, koma chinthu chimodzi ndichita. Kuyiwala zinthu zakumbuyo, ndi kutambalitsira ku zinthu zomwe ziri kale, Ndithamangira ku cholinga, kuti ndikalandire mphotho ya mayitanidwe akumwamba a Mulungu mwa Khristu Yesu. Tiyeni tsono, monga ambiri amene ali angwiro, ganizani motere. Ngati mu chilichonse mukuganiza mosiyana, Mulungu akuululiranso zimenezo. Komabe, kumlingo umene tafikira kale, tiyende mwa lamulo lomwelo. Tiyeni tikhale amalingaliro amodzi. (Php 3:12-16)
