Ngenxa yoko ndithi kuni, sonke isono nokunyelisa bokuxolelwa abantu, kodwa ukumnyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele abasayi kukuxolelwa abantu. Othe wathetha ilizwi elichasene noNyana woMntu, woxolelwa; kodwa othe wathetha elichasene noMoya oyiNgcwele, akayi kuxolelwa yena, nakweli phakade, nakwelo lizayo. (Mat 12:31-32)

Nangona kungafane kuxoxwe phakathi kwamaKristu, USathana uyathanda ukuzalisa iintliziyo zethu ngoloyiko lokuba, ngandlela ithile, siye saba netyala ‘lesono esingaxolelekiyo’; kwaye ke ngoko bagwetyelwe esihogweni ngonaphakade. Zininzi, kuquka amadoda nabafazi abakhulu bakaThixo, njengoJohn Bunyan (yodumo lwe `Pilgrim Progress') kunye namaKristu aqalayo (njengam) bawile kulo mgibe; ezinokubonakala ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo ukubambisa abo banezazela ezithambileyo, ukuzithemba ngokugqithisileyo kunye nabo bonke abaphakathi.

USathana ungoyena ubalaseleyo ekusebenziseni kakubi nasekugqwetheni iLizwi likaThixo. Elona qhinga alithandayo kukucaphula kakubi aze asebenzise kakubi iinyaniso ezithethwa nguThixo ngokwakhe; singasathethi ke ngamazwi athethwa ngamadoda nabafazi aboyik’ uThixo abangazange bakuqonde ngokupheleleyo oko bakuva kuThixo.

(Umzekelo qaphela ukuba njani, ngexesha lokuhendwa kweNyoka kuEva (Gen 3:1-6), uthi uThixo ubaxelele ukuba babeya kufa ukuba bathe bachukumisa isiqhamo. UThixo akazange atsho: uthe, "Musa ukuyidla." Umsebenzi ka-Adam yayikukunyamekela imithi yomyezo; ngoko kwakuza kufuneka awuchukumise umthi. Kodwa kubonakala ngathi, ekudluliseleni imiyalelo kaThixo kuEva, UAdam wabaxa kancinane (Gen 2:15-18). Ke, xa uEva wachukumisa isiqhamo esalelweyo waza waphila, kwakuya kubonakala kuye ukuba iNyoka ichanile.)

Kwincwadi yakhe, 'Ubabalo oluphuphumayo kuMthetheli waboni', UJohn Bunyan ubalisa ngokweenkcukacha, ukusuka kwimihlathi 132 ukuya 232, indlela uSathana awamsukela ngayo kuqala koko kwakubonakala ngathi ukugatywa kukaYesu, emva koko wamngcungcuthekisa iminyaka ngezityholo eziphindaphindiweyo zokuba akanakuze axolelwe. Kukufunda okothusayo kwaye kunzima: kodwa iqulethe ukuqonda okuninzi okuxabisekileyo kumaqhinga kaSathana okujija iSibhalo ngokuchasene nathi; nendlela yokuhlolisisa ngenyameko iZibhalo, zidityaniswe namazwi esityhilelo somoya, ekugqibeleni wambuyisela kwintembelo epheleleyo kubabalo lukaThixo olusindisayo.

Ukunyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqonda ukuba esi 'sono esingaxolelekiyo' yinto enqabe kakhulu; yaye inzulu lee kunokubulala, okanye unyelise uYesu ngokwakhe. Izono ezifana nezokugqibela, ngenxa yobunzulu bazo kubhekiselwa kuzo kwezinye izangqa zezakwalizwi ngokuthi ʻizono ezifayo': kanti ezi asizizo ezingaxolelekiyo,ʼ njengoko uYesu elumkile ukuba alathe. UPetros wamkhanyela uYesu; kunye neSt. UPawulos wayezityand’ igila ngokubulala uYesu’ abalandeli (Acts 26:9-11): kodwa bobabini baxolelwa.

NguYesu’ isilumkiso malunga nokunyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele, ecatshulwe ngasentla, iyaphindwa kwakhona kwi Mark 3:28-29 yaye Luke 12:10. Bobabini uMateyu noMarko bakubeka oku kumongo wengxubusho eyaqaliswa ngababhali nabaFarisi, ebonisa ukuba uYesu wayesebenzisa amandla eedemon ukukhupha iidemon. Kodwa phawula ukuba uYesu akatsho ngokucacileyo ukuba babesele benyelise ngoMoya oyiNgcwele ngokuthetha oku.: nangona ebalumkisa ngokucacileyo ukuba, ngokubalela umsebenzi woMoya kwinjongo embi, basondele ngokuyingozi ukwenza oko. Kodwa isondele kangakanani-kwaye ngoba?

Abanye bayacinga, umzekelo, ukuba enye intetho yonyeliso yefomu, “NguYesu …” sisinyeliso esinxamnye noYesu; ngelixa ususa ngokulula, 'UMoya Oyingcwele' kuba 'uYesu' uya kukwenza oku ukuba sisono esingaxolelekiyo. Nayiphi na intetho yamcaphukisa ngokunzulu uThixo: kwaye ayinakuze igqitywe ngokulula. Okwangoku, ukuba umntu ujonga into yokuba ababhali nabaFarisi babewubalela ngokuthe ngqo umsebenzi woMoya oyiNgcwele kumthetheli weedemon., ngoko kuba nzima kakhulu ukuqonda isizathu sokuba uYesu engazange abagwebe ngoko nangoko kunokuba abalumkise nje.

Yintoni ebangela ukuba esi Sono singaxoleleki?

Incwadi eya kumaHebhere iyawuphendula lo mbandela kwaye inikela ukuqonda ngakumbi ngemeko yokwenyani yokunyelisa.. Iqulethe 3 iimbekiselo, eyesibini yeyona ineenkcukacha:

Kuba, xa sithe sone ngabomi, emveni kokuba sakwamkelayo ukwazi inyaniso, akusasele dini ngenxa yezono, sekusele ke ukulinda okoyikekayo kakhulu, umgwebo nomsindo womlilo, eya kudla iintshaba. Lowo wamcekisayo uMoses’ umthetho wafa ungenanceba, phantsi kwamangqina amabini okanye amathathu: Singakanani na isohlwayo esibuhlungu, cinga wena, kuthiwe ufanelekile na?, lowo umnyathele phantsi uNyana kaThixo, nokubala igazi lomnqophiso, awangcwaliswa ngalo, into engcolileyo, Bamngcikiva uMoya wobabalo? Kuba siyamazi lowo watshoyo, yeyam impindezelo, ndiya kubuyekeza mna, utsho uYehova. Kwaye kwakhona, UYehova uya kubagweba abantu bakhe. Kuyoyikeka ke ukweyela ezandleni zoThixo ophilileyo. (Heb 10:26-31 KJV)

Ndiye ndasebenzisa iKing James Version ngabom ukuze ndigxininise eli gama, 'ngokuzithandela'. Eli ligama elinamandla ngokukodwa, kusetyenziswa ixesha elinye kuphela kwiTestamente Entsha, ukuhambisa ingqiqo yokuzimisela, ngokuzithandela ngokupheleleyo, ukuzibophelela kwikhondo elithile lesenzo. Ngapha koko, sisigqibo esithathwa emva kokufumana `ulwazi lwenyaniso': kungekhona ngenxa yokungazi. Njengoko isicatshulwa siqhubeka sicacisa, kubandakanya ukugatywa ngabom kukaYesu’ idini elingento yanto ngenxa yezono zethu; endaweni yoko babacekisa abababalweyo, Ukuxolela umsebenzi kaMoya oyiNgcwele ngokumenza ihlazo okanye ukwenzakala.

Incwadi eya kumaHebhere ibhalelwa amaKristu ebudeni bexesha lokuziphatha okubi nentshutshiso eqatha, xa uninzi lwabo lunokuzifumanisa luhendelwa ngokunzulu ekulalaniseni okanye ukululahla ukholo lwalo. Abanye benjenjalo: kodwa, njengoko sibonile kuPetros, oku akuzange kuyenze imeko yabo ingahlawuleki. Ngoko isahluko 10 (Heb 10:32-39) iphetha ngokubongoza ukuba ubambelele kwaye unganikezeli; Isahluko 11 (Heb 11:32-40) uthetha ngendlela amadoda nabafazi bokholo abafikelela ngayo oko kwakubonakala kungenakwenzeka phezu kwako nje ukunyamezela oko kwakubonakala kufana nokoyiswa okuqatha.. Emva koko isahluko 12 (Heb 12:1-13) uyaqhubeka nesibongozo esongezelelekileyo sokungaphelelwa lithemba xa sisilela size singene engxakini. Naxa uThixo esivumela ukuba sibandezeleke ngenxa yezono zethu, kukude ekubeni luphawu lokulahlwa. Ukwenza oku kuba esithanda; kwaye ufuna ukuba siguquke kwaye sibuyiselwe:

Ke ngoko, ekubeni singqongwe lilifu elingaka lamangqina, masiyilahle yonke into ebambekayo, nesono esithande ukuthandela ukuthandela. Masilubaleke ngomonde ugqatso olumiselweyo, sigxininise amehlo ethu kuYesu, uvulindlela nomgqibelelisi wokholo. Ngenxa yovuyo olwalubekwe phambi kwakhe wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, ilidela ihlazo layo, wahlala phantsi ngasekunene kwetrone kaThixo. Khawucinge ngalowo wanyamezela inkcaso enjalo yaboni, ukuze ningadinwa, ningatyhafi. Ekulweni kwakho nesono, awukaxhathisi ukusa kwinqanaba lokuphalaza igazi lakho. Yaye ngaba ulibele ngokupheleleyo eli lizwi lokhuthazo elithetha kuwe njengoko ubawo ethetha nonyana wakhe? Ithi, "Unyana wam, musani ukuyidela ingqeqesho yeNkosi, kwaye ungatyhafi xa ekhalimela, ngokuba lowo amthandayo uYehova uyamohlwaya, yaye wonk’ ubani ebamkela njengonyana wakhe uyamohlwaya.” Bunyamezeleni ubunzima njengoqeqesho; UThixo uniphethe njengoonyana bakhe. Kaloku umntwana akaqeqeshwa nguyise? (Heb 12:1-7)

Kodwa uSathana, loo ngcaphephe yezibhalo, ithanda ukuyisebenzisela ukugwetywa, ingasi ukhuthazo. Kwaye kulandela 2 iivesi ezikwesi sahluko ebezisoloko zithandwa nguye:

Ziphakamiseni ngoko izandla eziwileyo, kunye namadolo aneengcwangu; iinyawo zenu nizenzele imizila ethe tye, hleze into eqhwalelayo imke imke endleleni; kanye ke mayiphiliswe. Hlalani ngoxolo nabantu bonke, nobungcwele, ngaphandle koko akukho namnye uya kuyibona iNkosi: Lumkani kungabikho mntu uphulukana nalo ubabalo lukaThixo; hleze ingcambu yobukrakra ithi ithi tuu, inikhathaze, baze abaninzi bazenze iinqambi ngaloo nto; kungabikho mhenyuzi, okanye umntu okhohlakeleyo, njengoEsawu, owathi ngenxa yentwana yokudla wananisa ngobuzibulo bakhe. Kuba niyakwazi oko kamva, xa ebeya kuyidla ilifa intsikelelo, waliwa: kuba akafumananga ndawo yanguquko, nakuba wayingxamelayo ngeenyembezi. (Heb 12:12-17 KJV)

Qaphela ukuba umyalezo ophambili wombhali ngu, “Likhona ithemba. Musa ukunikezela okanye ukuphazanyiswa! Kwaye qaphela ukuba, ukuba uyasilela ukusithabatha nzulu esi sibongozo unokuphulukana nexesha elikhulu.” Kodwa uSathana uyathanda ukubathabatha aba bokugqibela 2 iivesi zokubethelela, “Musa ukuchitha ixesha lakho! UThixo ugqibile ngawe!” Kodwa, ayiyonyani nje loo nto kuwe: kwakungeyonyaniso nakuEsawu. UEsawu akazange abufumane ubuzibulo bakhe, kwaye waphoswa yintsikelelo yamazibulo: kodwa intsikelelo kaIsake (Gen 27:38-40) yazaliseka nangona kunjalo (Gen 33:8-11). Isono nokutyeshela izipho zikaThixo kunzulu, kwaye mhlawumbi ngokusisigxina, iziphumo: kodwa, apho kukho inguquko, uxolelo kunye namathuba amatsha asekhona.

Iinyembezi zikaEsawu zokuqala zazingezonyembezi zokuguquka; zazizinyembezi zomona wokubulala (Gen 27:41), efana nekaKayin ngaphambi kokuba ambulale uAbheli (Gen 4:5-8). Kodwa, ngexesha, UEsawu waguquka, eguquka kwinjongo yakhe yantlandlolo; ngoko xa ekugqibeleni wadibana noYakobi kwakhona, yayikukumwola njengomzalwana (Gen 33:4).

Inguquko – Ubungqina bokunyamezela ubabalo

Ngexesha lam njengomKrestu ndiye ndadibana neqela labantu abaye bangcungcuthekiswa kukoyika ukuba benze isono esingaxolelekiyo-kwaye ndakhe ndakweso sikhundla kanye.. Kodwa kube kanye kuphela ndadibana nomntu endandisoyika ukuba ngenene uye wakwenza oko. Kanjalo, Ndidibene nabaninzi endiboyikayo ukuba ndikhe ndibenomhlangano osindisayo noYesu, bambi phezu kwako nje ukuzibanga bengabalandeli bakaYesu: kodwa ayiyonto inye leyo. Kwakhona ndiye ndadibana nabaninzi abathi ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukeneyo bawela esonweni, okanye babonakala belulahle ukholo lwabo kangangexesha elithile, kwaye yabuyiselwa emva koko. Ngoko yintoni umahluko obalulekileyo? Makhe sibuyele ngokufutshane kwaye sijonge ezinye izibhalo ezimbalwa:

Kuba ngokubhekisele kwabo bakha bakhanyiswa, bangcamla isipho sasezulwini, kwaye benziwa amadlelane ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, waliva ilizwi elilungileyo likaThixo, kwanamandla ephakade elizayo, emva koko wawa, akunakwenzeka ukuba babuye bahlaziyeke enguqukweni; ekubeni bephinda bezibethelela emnqamlezweni uNyana kaThixo, wambeka elubala ihlazo. (Heb 6:4-6)

Kuba ukuba, emva kokuba besindile ekungcolisweni kwehlabathi ngolwazi lweNkosi noMsindisi uYesu Kristu, babuye barhintyelwe yiyo, boyise, isimo sokugqibela sibe mandundu kunesiqalekiso. Kuba ngekubalungele kanye, ukuba bebengayazanga indlela yobulungisa, kunokuba, emva kokwazi, ukuba babuye kumthetho ongcwele abawuwiselwayo. Kusuke kwaba njalo kubo ngokwemizekeliso eyinyani, “Inja ibuyela emhlanzweni wayo kwakhona,” yaye, “imazi yehagu ehlambileyo ukuya kuziqika-qika eludakeni.” (2Pe 2:20-22)

Okokuqala, njengoko bekutshiwo ngaphambili, sithetha apha ngabo sele benamava ngobunyani nobunyani bevangeli. Abo bangekabunikeli ubomi babo kuYesu njengoMsindisi wabo abanaxanduva lokwenza esi sono. (Nangona oko akuthethi ukuba bakweyiphi na ingozi ekhawulezileyo, kuba"Lowo ukholwayo kuye, akagwetywa;. Lowo ungakholwayo uselegwetyiwe, ngokuba engakholwanga kwigana loNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo uThixo." (John 3:18))

Okwesibini, ngabom, ukhetho lokuzithandela baye bamhlazisa uYesu kunye nomsebenzi wokuhlangula woMoya oyiNgcwele. Le nto ngumkhubekiso ngokunzulu kuThixo, ibabeka emngciphekweni omkhulu wokubalelwa ekubeni banyelise uMoya oyiNgcwele.. Nangona kunjalo, ubukhulu becala buxhomekeke kumlinganiselo umntu azichase ngawo ngabom uThixo. NguThixo kuphela oyaziyo loo nto: ngoko ke asinakuyisebenzisa ngokuthembekileyo oku njengovavanyo.

Kodwa, okwesithathu kwaye kubaluleke kakhulu, akunakwenzeka ukuba umntu onjalo aguquke (Heb 6:6); yiyo i, ukwenza utshintsho lokwenene lwentliziyo, ukuvuselela umnqweno wabo wokulandela uYesu kunye nokuthobela iimpembelelo zoMoya.

Isono esingaxolelekiyo asixoleleki ngokuchanekileyo ngokuba umntu ngamnye ngeke guqukani. Ke ngoko, akukho ndlela yokuxolelwa. Kodwa, ngenxa yamava abo angaphambili obunyaniso bobulungisa bukaThixo, nto leyo bayigatyayo, akukho kunqongophala koloyiko nokuzisola. Kodwa umahluko obalulekileyo phakathi kwalowo wenze isono esingaxolelekiyo kunye nalowo uwile nje okwexeshana, kukuba ukuzisola kokugqibela kuba kugxile, kungekhona kwisohlwayo abajamelana nabo: kodwa ngenxa yobubi besiphoso sabo kunye nokwahlukaniswa okukhoyo: kwaye intliziyo yabo ikhalela ukuba kubuyiswe ubudlelane. (Funda, umzekelo, Umthandazo kaDavide ngo Psalm 51:1-19.)

Imizekelo esebenzayo

John Bunyan

UBunyan wanyamezela ixesha leengcebiso ezingapheliyo zokuba athengise ngoYesu ukuze afumane izinto zobu bomi.. Phezu kwayo yonke imigudu yakhe yokuxhathisa, iingcinga bezingavumi; kwada kwakusasa, udiniwe, he felt himself thinking, “Let Him go, if He will.” He goes on, “140. Now was the battle won, and down fell I as a bird that is shot from the top of a tree, into great guilt, and fearful despair.” There followed years of torment with occasional periods of respite as God’s Spirit spoke comfort to his soul. “174. … suddenly there was, as if there had rushed in at the window, the noise of wind upon me, but very pleasant, and as if I heard a voice speaking, Did’st thou ever refuse to be justified by the blood of Christ? and withal, my whole life of profession past, was in a moment opened to me, wherein I was made to see, that designedly I had not: so my heart answered groaningly, Hayi. Then fell, with power, that word of God upon me, See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh. Hebrew xii. 25." (Heb 12:25)

“229. … suddenly this sentence fell upon my soul, Thy righteousness is in heaven; and methought withal, I saw with the eyes of my soul, Jesus Christ at God’s right hand: Pha, I say, was my righteousness; so that wherever I was, or whatever I was doing, God could not say of me, He wants My righteousness; for that was just before Him. I also saw moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor yet my bad frame that made my righteousness worse; for my righteousness was Jesus Christ Himself, The same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Heb. xiii. 8. (Heb 13:8)

“230. Now did my chains fall off my legs indeed …"

Ubungqina Bam

As a recently-converted 15 year-old, I was passionately in love with Jesus. But one day I was unexpectedly confronted by a novel sexual temptation that I had never faced before; kwaye yavusa umdla wam. Ndakhawuleza ndabona ukuba ayilunganga; kwaye ingcinga yahamba entlokweni yam, “Kuthekani ukuba uYesu ebenokubuya ngoku, ngelixa usenza oku?” Kodwa endaweni yokuyeka ngokukhawuleza, umdla wabangcono kum kwaye, nangona ndandiziva kakubi ngayo, Ndiqhubekile `ukuphanda' ixesha elide. Kodwa, kungekudala ndayeka, kunokuba uSathana wangenelela ngesityholo, “Yayisisono sangabom eso. Izono ezinjalo azixoleleki!” Ndandisazi eso sibhalo (Heb 10:26 KJV), ndasuke ndanombilini. Ndaya egumbini lam, wawa phantsi ebumnyameni waza wabongoza uThixo ukuba amxolele: kodwa akwabikho mpendulo – kumnyama nje noxolo.

Ndaziva ndilahliwe ngokupheleleyo; kwaye egwetyelwe ukuba athintelwe ngonaphakade ebusweni bakhe. Andizange ndikwazi ukunyamezela ingcinga: ngoko ke ndambongoza uThixo ukuba andibonise ukuba yonke into ayilahlekanga. Ndandisandul’ ukukhula ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndikwazi ukutsiba ndize ndibambe isilingi ukuba ndisebenzisa imilenze yomibini: ngoko ndathandazela ukuba ndikwazi ukuyilawula, ukutsiba ngomlenze omnye. Emva koko ndawaqokelela onke amandla am, watsiba – waza wasilela! Loo nto yandoyikisa kakhulu kangangokuba ndaphinda ndazama ngokuphelelwa lithemba ndade ndayenza ngokwenene loo nto! Kodwa, kanjalo, Usathana wabuya ngqo kum endityhola ngelithi yayililokuqala ilinge elibaliweyo.

Ndicinga ukuba ndilahlekile ngonaphakade, Ndaqalisa ukuzibuza ukuba ndingabuchitha njani ubomi bam bonke; ndazibona ndithandaza lomthandazo: "Utata, nokuba andiyi kufika ezulwini, ndicela undenzele inceba okokugqibela. Ungandiyeka ndiqhubeke ndikukhonza ubomi bam bonke; kuba ayikho enye into endifuna ukuyenza.” Kuphela ngoko, oko ndihleli apho kumnyama, yafika impendulo kaThixo engqondweni yam: “Ukuba wenze isono esingaxolelekiyo, ngewungazange uwuthandaze lo mthandazo!"

Ngaloo nto, kwabuyiselwa uxolo. Okwangoku, ixesha elide usathana ebefuna ukundingcungcuthekisa ngecebo, “Kuthekani ukuba uThixo uye wasabela kwisicelo sakho. Uzakuphendula njani xa, ekugqibeleni, ekugqibeleni uyakugwebela esihogweni?” Impendulo yam ibiyiyo kwaye iseyileyo, nokuba oku bekuyinyani, Ndisenezizathu nje zokudumisa uThixo ngenxa yobulungisa nenceba yakhe. Andikholosanga ngobulungisa bam: kodwa kuYesu kuphela’ ukufa kum.

Umntu Ongaguqukiyo?

Ngexesha lokufunda kwam, Mna nomhlobo wam sadibana nendoda eyasixelela ukuba yenze isono esingaxolelekiyo yaye yayihlala isoyika umgwebo kaThixo.. Ngelinge lokumnceda, simbizele eflatin yam, apho asixelele khona ibali lakhe.

Waye waguqulwa ngenxa yokubona okumangalisayo, Ukuphiliswa ngoko nangoko komntwana okhubazekileyo ebuchotsheni waza waba lilungu eliqhelekileyo lecawa eyaziwayo yePentekoste., apho wabona imimangaliso emininzi. Kodwa ngenye imini, ngoxa wayephulaphule omnye umfana enikela ubungqina ngendlela awayesandul’ ukukhululwa ngayo ngokupheleleyo kubukhoboka botywala, wacinga entliziyweni yakhe, "Ndikubheja ndingakubuyisela etywaleni kwakhona." Walungiselela intlanganiso nalo mfana, apho wakwaziyo ukumnxilisa. Ubomi bomfana baphazamiseka; kwaye wagqiba kwelokuba ayishiye icawa.

Ndachitha ixesha ndicebisa umhendi wakhe, bobabini bemlumkisa ngesikhundla sakhe (awayesele eyazi kwaye esoyika) befuna ukumsa endaweni yenguquko. Yayiyimeko engaqhelekanga. Wayeyitshaya kakhulu; kwaye ngamanye amaxesha bendizama ngabom ukuphekuza umsi kwicala lam, ngokungathi wayecinga ukuba oku kwakunokuba nefuthe elifanayo kum njengoko utywala babenalo kwixhoba lakhe langaphambili. Kodwa, nangona ebonisa ukuba uxolelo lunokwenzeka - ukuba nje wayenokuguquka - yayiyinto awayengayi kuyenza. Maxa wambi wayethandaza kuThixo; kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kuSathana, esithi akayonkosi embi kangako. Ekugqibeleni kwacaca ukuba wayesacinga ukuba 'wayekrelekrele' ukuhenda laa mfana. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba ukhe wabuyela ezingqondweni ngokwenene? Andiqinisekanga: kodwa ekugqibeleni kwafuneka ndimkhulule, besoyika kodwa bengaguquki.

Ukuba umntu uthe wambona umzalwana wakhe esona isono esingasingisi kufeni, uya kubuza, yaye uThixo uya kumnika ubomi abo bonayo ngokungasingisi kufeni. Kukho isono esisingisa ekufeni;. Anditsho ukuba kufuneka enze isicelo ngokuphathelele oku. (1Jn 5:16)

Musa Ukoyika

USathana unamaqhinga yaye uzimisele; kanti sisoloko sichanabeke kwizisongelo neenkohliso zakhe. Kodwa akuyomfuneko ukuba sihlale sinoloyiko lokuba siya kusilela ngenxa yobuthathaka bethu okanye ukungabi nalukholo. UBathathu Emnye – Bawo, UNyana noMoya oyiNgcwele - bazimisele ukusibona kude kube sekupheleni.

Ukuba sizivuma izono zethu, Uthembekile kwaye ulilungisa ukusixolela izono, kwaye usihlambulule kuyo yonke intswela-bulungisa. (1 John 1:9)

Lithembekile ilizwi elo: Kuba ukuba safa naye, nathi siya kudla ubomi kunye naye. Ukuba siyanyamezela, nathi siya kulawula kunye naye. Ukuba siyamkhanyela, naye wosikhanyela. ukuba asikholwa, uhlala ethembekile. Akakwazi ukuzikhanyela.” (2Ti 2:11-13)

Kodwa ukuba uMoya walo wamvusa uYesu kwabafileyo, uhlala kuwe, Lowo wamvusa uKristu Yesu kwabafileyo, uya kunika ubomi emidoleni yakho efileyo ngoMoya wakhe, ohleli kuni. Ke ngoko, bazalwana, singabinamatyala, hayi kwinyama, Ukuphila emva kwenyama. Kuba xa uphila emva kwenyama, kufuneka ufe; kodwa ukuba usabulala ngoMoya, Izenzo zomzimba, uya kuphila. Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, Aba ngabantwana bakaThixo. Kuba anamkelanga moya wabukhoboka, ukuba nibuye noyike, Namamkela ke uMoya wokwenziwa oonyana, esikhala ngaye, “Abba! Utata!"UMoya ngokwakhe ungqinelana nomoya wethu, ukuba singabantwana bakaThixo ... (Rom 8:11-16)

Sithini na ke ngoko ngezi zinto?? Ukuba uThixo ungakuthi, ngubani na ongasichasayo? Lowo ungamconganga owakhe uNyana, wesuka wamnikela ngenxa yethu sonke, ebengathini na ukuba angasibabali ngazo zonke ezo zinto, ndawonye naye?? Ngubani na onokubamangalela abanyulwa bakaThixo, inguThixo nje obagwebelayo? nguThixo ogwebelayo. Ngubani na ogwebayo?? NguKristu owafayo, ewe kunokuba, owavuswa kwabafileyo, ongasekunene kukaThixo, osithethelelayo nokusithethelela. Oya kusahlula eluthandweni lukaKristu? Ngaba ingcinezelo, okanye intlungu, okanye intshutshiso, okanye indlala, okanye ubuze, okanye ingozi, okanye ikrele? njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ngenxa yakho sibulawa imini yonke. kwakusithiwa sinjengeegusha zokuxhelwa nje. Hayi, kuzo zonke ezi zinto, sisuka soyise sitshatshele ngalowo wasithandayo. Kuba ndoyisekile, ukuba nakufa, okanye ubomi, kwaneengelosi, kwanabalawuli, nezinto ezikhoyo, nezinto ezizayo, okanye amandla, okanye ukuphakama, nobunzulu, nanye into edaliweyo, uya kuba nako ukusahlula eluthandweni lukaThixo, okukuKristu Yesu, iNkosi yethu. (Rom 8:31-39)

Bona ezinye iziHlomelo …
