Nkhondo ndi Thupi

Monga tafotokozera kale, anthu ali ndi thupi lanyama lofanana ndi zosowa zachilengedwe ndi chibadwa monga ena. Koma timasiyanitsidwa ndi luso lathu lodziwa Mulungu, kuphunzitsa, kuneneratu ndi kupanga zisankho zamakhalidwe. Izi zikutanthauza kuti tinapangidwa kuti tizitha kuchita zinthu zomwe zimaposa mapulogalamu athu achilengedwe. koma, popanda kupezeka kwa Mulungu m'miyoyo yathu, mphamvu yathu yosankha makhalidwe ndi yolemala, munjira zingapo:

• Kutha kwathu kudziwira zotsatira za zosankha zathu ndi zochepa.
• Tilibe muyezo wotheratu wa chabwino ndi choipa.
• Tilibe chilimbikitso ndi mphamvu zochitira zabwino.
• Timabadwira m’dziko loipitsidwa ndi zoipa ndipo timakhala m’dzikoli tisanakhwime n’kuyamba kudzisankhira tokha makhalidwe abwino..

Chotsatira chake ndi chakuti sitingathe kuwongolera bwino chikhalidwe chathu chanyama chodzikonda. Nyama imeneyi nthawi zambiri imatchedwa ‘nyama’ kapena ‘thupi’ chilengedwe. Ndipo chikhalidwe chosalamulirika ichi, zimene zakhudza aliyense kuyambira Adamu ndi Hava kupita m’tsogolo, ndi chimene kaŵirikaŵiri akatswiri a maphunziro azaumulungu amachitcha ‘Tchimo Loyambirira.’ Ena amanena kuti zimenezi zimachititsa kuti anthu azilephera kusankha zochita zimene zingasangalatse Mulungu: koma Akristu onse amavomereza kuti kuipa kwakukulu kumeneku kwa chibadwa chathu kumapangitsa kukhala kosatheka kwa ife kukhala kosalekeza m’njira yokwaniritsa miyezo ya Mulungu..

Koma ngakhale popanda kufooka kwathu, pali chikoka choipitsa chauzimu – ‘Tchimo’ ndi likulu 'S’ – chifukwa cha zochita za Satana; amene mosalekeza amafuna kupezerapo mwayi pa zofooka zathu zakuthupi ndi kutitsekereza kutali ndi Mulungu. Chotsatira chake ndi chimenecho, tikangotha ​​kupanga zosankha zamakhalidwe mozindikira, timadzipeza tokha tikupanga zolakwika!

Monga kwalembedwa, “Palibe wolungama; palibe, Palibe. Palibe amene amamvetsetsa. Palibe amene akufunafuna Mulungu. Onse apatuka. Onse pamodzi akhala opanda phindu. Palibe amene amachita zabwino, palibe, osati, ngakhale mmodzi.” (Rom 3:10-12, cf. Ps 14:1-3 & Ps 53:1-3)

pakuti onse anacimwa, naperewera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu. (Rom 3:23)

Chisokonezo cha Paulo

Mu Aroma, mutu 7, mtumwi Paulo akufotokoza zimene zinamuchitikira iyeyo poyamba ndi chikhumbo cha kutumikira Mulungu, koma anadzipeza yekha kukhala kapolo wa uchimo.

Pakuti pamene ife tinali mu thupi, zilakolako zauchimo zimene zinali mwa lamulo, adagwira ntchito mwa ziwalo zathu kubala zipatso za imfa. … Pakuti sindikadadziwa kusilira, pokhapokha lamulo likadanena, “Usasirire;” Koma tchimo, kupeza mwayi mwa lamulo, adandibweretsera mitundu yonse ya kusirira. Pakuti popanda lamulo, uchimo ndi wakufa. Ndinali ndi moyo popanda lamulo¹, koma pamene lamulo lidadza, uchimo unatsitsimuka, ndipo ndinafa. Lamulo, zomwe zinali za moyo, ichi ndinachipeza cha imfa; chifukwa cha uchimo, kupeza mwayi mwa lamulo, wandinyenga, ndipo mwa izo anandipha ine. (Rom 7:5,7-11)

Pakuti tidziwa kuti lamulo ndi lauzimu, koma ine ndine wathupi, ogulitsidwa pansi pa uchimo. Sindikumvetsa zomwe ndikuchita. Pakuti sindichita chimene ndimafuna: ngakhale, Ndimachita zomwe ndimadana nazo. Koma ngati ndikuchita zomwe sindikufuna, Ine ndikudziwa kuti lamulo ndi labwino. Choncho, panthawi ino, salinso ‘ine’ ndiye ndikuchita, koma uchimo wokhala m'kati mwanga. (Rom 7:14-17)

Za, monga mwa munthu wamkati, Ndimakondwera ndi lamulo la Mulungu: koma ndikuwona lamulo losiyana m'mbali zanga zina, kulimbana ndi lamulo la mtima wanga, ndi kundipanga ine kapolo wa lamulo la uchimo limene lili m’zigawo zanga. Ndine wolemedwa kwambiri! Amene adzandilanditsa m’thupi la imfa yotere? Ndiyamika Mulungu mwa Yesu Khristu, Ambuye wathu! Ndiye ndi malingaliro, Ine ndekha nditumikira chilamulo cha Mulungu: koma ndi thupi, lamulo la uchimo. (Rom 7:22-25)

Ena amanena kuti lembali likufotokoza zimene Akhristu amakumana nazo tsiku ndi tsiku, komanso amene si Akhristu. Ndithudi, Akristu ambiri angagwirizane ndi chokumana nacho cha Paulo monga chikugwira ntchito ku nyengo imeneyo ya moyo wawo isanafike, ndipo nthawi zina posakhalitsa, kutembenuka kwawo. Ena amazindikiranso kuti ndi nthawi yomwe alimbana ndi zizolowezi zoyipa zomwe zimapitilirabe. Koma ngati izi zikuyimira chithunzi cha moyo wachikhristu monga momwe Mulungu amafunira, zikumveka kukhala moyo womvetsa chisoni kwambiri. Zimatisiya nthawi zonse kukhala otsutsidwa, ndi kukhumba ufulu ku, kulemedwa kosalekeza kwa uchimo kumene kumatikankhira kuchita zinthu zimene ifeyo ndi Mulungu timadana nazo.

– Ndipo Yankho Lake

Koma ngati tiyang'ana pa mavesi omwe akutsatira nthawi yomweyo kuchokera apa, tikuwona kuti izi ndi zoona osati mmene Paulo amaganizira kuti moyo wathu uyenera kukhala.

Chotero palibe tsopano kutsutsidwa kwa iwo amene ali mwa Khristu Yesu, amene sayenda monga mwa thupi, koma monga mwa Mzimu. Pakuti chilamulo cha mzimu wamoyo mwa Khristu Yesu chinandimasula ine ku lamulo la uchimo ndi imfa. Zomwe lamulo sizingachite, M'malo mwake inali yofooka kudzera mwa thupi, Mulungu Atero. Kutumiza Mwana Wake Yemwe Akafanana ndi Thupi Lachimo ndi Tchimo, Adadzudzula thupi m'thupi; kuti lamulo la chilamulo lithe kukwaniritsidwa mwa ife, Ndani samayenda mnofu, Koma Mzimu Watha. (Rom 8:1-4)

Pakuti amene amatsatira thupi amaika maganizo awo pa zinthu za thupi, koma iwo akukhala monga mwa Mzimu, zinthu za Mzimu. Pakuti chisamaliro cha thupi chili imfa, koma cisamaliro ca Mzimu ciri moyo ndi mtendere; chifukwa chisamaliro cha thupi chidana ndi Mulungu; pakuti sichigonja ku lamulo la Mulungu, ngakhalenso sikungakhale. Iwo amene ali m’thupi sangathe kukondweretsa Mulungu. (Rom 8:5-8)

Koma inu simuli m’thupi, koma mumzimu, ngati kotero kuti Mzimu wa Mulungu akhala mwa inu. Koma ngati wina alibe Mzimu wa Khristu, iye si wake. Ngati Khristu ali mwa inu, thupi ndi lakufa chifukwa cha uchimo, koma mzimu uli wamoyo chifukwa cha chilungamo. Koma ngati Mzimu wa Iye amene anaukitsa Yesu kwa akufa ukhala mwa inu, Iye amene adaukitsa Khristu Yesu kwa akufa adzapatsanso moyo matupi anu akufa mwa Mzimu wake wakukhala mwa inu. (Rom 8:9-11)

Ndiye ndiye, abale, ndife angongole, osati kwa thupi, kukhala ndi moyo monga mwa thupi. Pakuti ngati mukhala ndi moyo monga mwa thupi, muyenera kufa; koma ngati mwa Mzimu mupha ntchito za thupi, mudzakhala ndi moyo. Pakuti onse amene atsogozedwa ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu, awa ndi ana a Mulungu. (Rom 8:12-14)

Paulo akutiuza kuti ‘iwo amene ali mwa Kristu Yesu’ akhoza kukhala moyo wopanda chitsutso. Mfungulo ndiyo ‘kuyenda motsatira’ (Rom 8:1) ndi ‘kutsogozedwa ndi’ (Rom 8:14) ‘Mzimu’. Amene amachita zimenezi amafotokozedwa kuti ali ‘mu Mzimu’ ndipo adakhala mwa Iye (Rom 8:8) ndiponso kukhala ndi maganizo athu pa ‘zinthu za mzimu’ (Rom 8:5).

Mzimu ukufotokozedwa mosiyanasiyana m’ndime iyi kukhala ‘Mzimu wa moyo’ (Rom 8:2), ‘Mzimu wa Mulungu’ (Rom 8:9), ‘Mzimu wa Kristu’ (Rom 8:9) ndi ‘Mzimu wa iye amene anaukitsa Yesu kwa akufa’ (Rom 8:11). Makhalidwe awa amamuzindikiritsa iye ngati Mzimu Woyera; chionetsero chachikulu chachitatu cha khalidwe ndi chikhalidwe cha Mulungu mmodzi woona ndi wosagawanika. Kuti mumve zambiri onani Mulungu m'modzi mwa Atatu.

Chotulukapo cha moyo wokhala mu ubale wotero ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi chimenecho, m’malo molamulidwa ndi uchimo ndi kulephera, moyo wathu udzakhala wodziwika ndi chikumbumtima choyera, mtendere ndi makhalidwe abwino.

Werengani…

Mawu a M'munsi

1. Kodi Paulo akutanthauza chiyani?
   Mwa kunena, ‘Ndinali wamoyo popanda lamulo kamodzi,’ Paulo akusonyeza kuti anali paubwenzi ndi Mulungu mpaka pamene anaphwanya lamulo la Mulungu mwadala. Izi zikugwirizana ndi Yesu’ chiphunzitso chawo pa udindo wa ana (kuwona Mt 18:1-6,10). Onaninso kuti Paulo poyamba anafotokoza zimenezi kwa anthu amene sanali Ayuda, chikumbumtima chawo cha makhalidwe abwino chimagwira ntchito mofanana ndi lamulo lachiyuda (Rom 2:12-16).
