Ngoku siye saqwalasela uYesu’ iimfundiso ngokwembono yolwimi, ukubona ukuba amagama akhe okwenene aguqulelwe ngokufanelekileyo na, nakumxholo wabo kuYesu’ iintshumayelo kunye neencoko, ukubona ukuba yintoni na enokuvunyelwa ukubaxwa ngabom ngoYesu’ inxalenye okanye ukungaqondi kwethu. Kodwa sisasele nesigqibo sokuba uYesu usilumkisa ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba, ngaphandle kokuba sibhenela kuYe ukuze sicele uxolo noncedo, ubuninzi boluntu bubekwe endleleni eya kusikhokelela entshabalalweni. Kwaye sishiyeke sizibuza, “Kutheni kufuneka kube njalo lonto embi? Ukuba ngokwenene uThixo usithanda, ngokuqinisekileyo ngewayeze nesisombululo esingcono?”

Akukude ukuba ube nguwe wedwa okhe waziva ngolo hlobo. Uninzi lwethu luye lwenjenjalo; kuquka noYesu’ abafundi bokuqala kunye nabanye abalandeli bokuqala. Sele sicebise ngokufutshane izizathu ezinokubangela ukuba izinto zingabi lula ngolo hlobo, kumacandelo anesihloko “Kutheni uThixo Engqongqo Kangaka?” yaye “Ukungakwazi ukunyanzelwa uthando.” Kodwa ngoku, ubuso noYesu’ Iingxelo zakhe ezicacileyo ngalo mbandela, kunye neqela lemibuzo engaphendulwanga malunga nokuba wayethetha ukuthini kanye kanye, lixesha lokutyhila kuyo yonke iBhayibhile, yaye ngokukodwa iTestamente eNtsha, ukubona indlela uYesu’ abafundi bakhe bawuqonda umyalezo wakhe.

Ububi Besohlwayo Sanaphakade

“Baya kumka aba baye elubethweni olungunaphakade, ke wona amalungisa aya kubomi obungunaphakade.” (Mat 25:31-33; 41-46)

Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuYesu’ imfundiso ibhekisela ‘kwisohlwayo sikanaphakade.’ Kwicandelo elinesihloko, ‘Isigama sikaYesu‘ sahlolisisa amacebiso ‘angunaphakade’ kubhekiselwa kwixesha le-eschatological kunexesha lalo kunye neso ‘sohlwayo’ ifanele iqondwe ngengqiqo yokulungisa. Kodwa, nangona utoliko olunjalo lunokufumaneka kuncwadi lwesiGrike lwamanye amaxesha, ezi ntsingiselo azixhaswa kukusetyenziswa kwazo kwenye indawo kwiTestamente Entsha okanye kwinguqulelo yeSeptuagint yesiGrike yeTestamente Endala.. Yaye azixhaswa naziintsingiselo zantlandlolo zamagama esiHebhere eziwaguqulelayo. Ukuze ufumane ingxubusho ethe vetshe ngalo mba bona Isihlomelo A.

Izimo zengqondo zabantu kwingcamango yesohlwayo sikanaphakade ngandlel’ ithile azivisisani. Kwisandle esinye, sizizidalwa zexesha elifutshane kangangokuba ubusuku nje obunye bokuqaqanjelwa lizinyo buvakala ngathi bungunaphakade; ukuzama ngokunzulu ukubamba ingcamango yaso nasiphi na isohlwayo esiqhubekayo ngaphandle kokupheliswa ngonaphakade kusenza sinkwantye. Kwelinye icala, inkoliso yethu ibiya kuvumelana nengcamango yokuba isohlwayo sifanele ‘sifanele ulwaphulo-mthetho.’ Kuqhelekile ukuva amaxhoba olwaphulo-mthetho olumanyumnyezi efuna ukuba umenzi wobubi awenze, ‘Tshiswa esihogweni ngonaphakade!’ Kodwa silinganisa njani oko? Mangaphi amaxesha obomi kufuneka ukuba umbulali anyamezele? Yaye ukuba abantu babemiselwe nguThixo ukuba baphile ngonaphakade, kunexesha nje lobomi bethu bendalo, then what i the real value of a life? Sizilinganisa njani iziphumo zokwenyani zezenzo zethu ezingalunganga ekukhanyeni kokubandezeleka kunye nesikhubekiso esibangelwe, okanye iziphumo zabo ezinokubakho ngonaphakade kwabanye?

Siyibonile ngaphambili ingxaki ebangelwe ngumbhali we 'Targum Jonathan'; abakhethe ukunika amagama okugqibela ka Isaiah 66:24 (efundeka ngesiHebhere,”iimpethu zabo aziyi kufa, nomlilo wabo awuyi kucinywa; yaye ziya kuba lizothe kuluntu lonke.” ) njengoko, “imiphefumlo yabo ayiyi kufa, nomlilo wabo awuyi kucima; nabangendawo baya kugwetywa esihogweni, ade athethe amalungisa ngabo, sibone ngokwaneleyo.” Kwaye, ngokufanayo, ababhali beTalmud bafuna ukunciphisa ixesha leGehena ukuya kuthi ga kwi 12 iinyanga. Okwangoku, xa uYesu ecaphula esi sibhalo Mark 9:43-48 kwaye ibhekisa kuyo Matthew 18:8-9, endaweni yoko ugxininisa ubunaphakade nobungacimekiyo bomlilo weGehena.

Ke, xa uYesu ethetha ngomlilo weGehena njengongunaphakade nongenakucinywa, uthetha ukuthini? Ukuba uphulaphule ezinye iinkcazelo gorier esihogweni, kufana nokutshiswa uphila, okanye unyanzelwe ukuba usele iasidi; ke ngoku, xa sele eza kuphelelwa yintlungu, ukuvuselelwa kwaye yonke inkqubo yaqala kwakhona ... kwaye kwakhona ... ngonaphakade. Iinkcazo zolo hlobo ngokuqinisekileyo zinokufumaneka kuncwadi lobuKristu ukusuka kwixesha lobumnyama nakwiQuran: kodwa ziseBhayibhileni?

Eyona nto ikufutshane endinokuyifumana kwingcaciso enjalo liChibi loMlilo kwincwadi yeSityhilelo: ngoko makhe sijonge oko.

Yintoni iChibi loMlilo?

Le ntetho ifunyenwe 5 amaxesha kwiSityhilelo, apho uYohane achaza umbono wakhe wemigwebo kaThixo yokugqibela. In Rev. 19:20, sixelelwa ukuba irhamncwa nomprofeti walo wobuxoki ‘baphoswa behleli edikeni lomlilo elivutha isalfure.’ In Rev. 20:10 sixelelwa ukuba naye usathana uphoswe phakathi, nokuba aba bathathu ‘baya kuthuthunjiswa imini nobusuku ngonaphakade kanaphakade.’ Oku kuthetha ukuba idike lomlilo liya kuhlala ngonaphakade; nto leyo engqinelana noYesu’ imfundiso yeGehena. ke, siyaxelelwa,

Ukufa neHadesi kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini, idike lomlilo. Ukuba ubani akafunyanwanga ebhaliwe encwadini yobomi, waphoswa edikeni lomlilo. (Rev 20:14-15)

Ukuphoswa koKufa neHadesi yingxelo ecace gca yokuba la mazwe aphakathi phakathi kokufa komntu nomgwebo, however we visualize them, zigqityiwe ngoku. Kodwa, okona kubalulekileyo, sixelelwa ukuba eli dike lomlilo ‘kukufa kwesibini’ nokuba iyindawo yokugqibela yakhe nabani na ogama lakhe lingafumanekiyo ‘encwadini yobomi;’ equka nayiphi na kwezi zilandelayo:

Kodwa ngenxa yamagwala, abangakholwayo, aboni, elizothe, ababulali, uhenyuzo, abakhafuli, abanquli-zithixo, namaxoki onke, isabelo sabo sisedikeni elivutha umlilo nesulfure, oko kukufa kwesibini.” (Rev 21:8)

Kodwa, ngaphambili kwiSityhilelo, elinye iqela labo bamiselwe edikeni lomlilo likhethelwa isilumkiso esikhethekileyo:

Enye ingelosi, eyesithathu, wabalandela, etsho ngelizwi elikhulu, “Ukuba nabani na unqula irhamncwa nomfanekiso walo, kwaye ufumana uphawu ebunzini lakhe, okanye esandleni sakhe, naye uya kusela kwiwayini yomsindo kaThixo, engaxutywanga kwindebe yomsindo wakhe. uya kuthuthunjiswa ngumlilo nesalfure phambi kwezithunywa ezingcwele, naphambi kweMvana. Umsi wokuthuthunjelwa kwabo unyuka use emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Abaphumli imini nobusuku, abo banqula irhamncwa nomfanekiso walo, nothe wamkela uphawu lwegama lakhe. (Rev 14:9-11)

Ezi ndinyana zichaza ngokungqalileyo ukuba abo bakhetha ukunqula irhamncwa baze bathabathele kubo uphawu lwalo baya kufumana isohlwayo sentuthumbo engunaphakade njengerhamncwa., umprofeti wobuxoki noSathana ngokwakhe. Mhlawumbi kuphawuleka ngokukhethekileyo ukuba igama lesiGrike elithi ‘lambano’ (iguqulelwe ngokuthi ‘yamkela’) inale nkcazelo ilandelayo Enamandla:

G2983 – Lambo – “Imo emide yesenzi sokuqala, esetyenziswa kuphela njengendawo etshintshanayo kumaxesha athile; Yise e (kwizicelo ezininzi kakhulu, ngokoqobo nangokomfuziselo [mhlawumbi injongo okanye esebenzayo, ukubamba; ngelixa i-G1209 ixhomekeke okanye isenzelwa, ukuba unikele kwenye; ngelixa i-G138 inobundlobongela ngakumbi, ukubamba okanye ukususa]) ...”

Ingongoma ikukuba isilumkiso sisebenza kumntu ode azichaze ukuba ungumnquli nomlandeli werhamncwa.. Kwaye oku emva zashunyayelwa iindaba ezilungileyo kuzo zonke iintlanga yaye iwile iBhabheli (Rev 14:6-11). Ngeli xesha ubume beendaba ezilungileyo ngokuchasene nolawulo lwerhamncwa kufuneka bucace nakubani na: ngoko ke oku kuchaza umntu okhethiweyo, ngabom nangokwazi, ukuba balinqule balikhonze irhamncwa.

Kuba uMtyholi neengelosi zakhe?

Kweli nqanaba sifanele sinikele ingqalelo ekhethekileyo kula mazwi kaYesu:

Uya kwandula athi nakwabangasekhohlo, ‘Mka kum, Uqalekisiwe, emlilweni ongunaphakade, olungiselwe uMtyholi nezithunywa zakhe;’ (Mat 25:41)

Igama lesiGrike elithi ‘ingelosi’ ngokoqobo lithetha ‘umthunywa.’ Abo bakhetha ukukhonza irhamncwa baba ‘ziingelosi’ zalo.’ Kodwa Rev 14:11 ibonakala ikuphela kwendawo eBhayibhileni xa ithetha ngokuthuthunjiswa kwabantu ngokungapheliyo edikeni lomlilo. Ke, ukuba uYesu’ amagama athathwa ngokoqobo, kunokuthiwa kwakungeyonjongo kaThixo ukuba abantu babandezeleke ngonaphakade ngolu hlobo; kwaye oku kuphela kwemeko abayenzayo.

Ngaba IGehena Isoloko Ibandakanya Ukubandezeleka Okusezingqondweni?

AmaKristu amaninzi atolika zonke iimbekiselo zedike lomlilo njengezichaza imeko efanayo; Ngoko ke sigqibe kwelokuba nabani na ophoswa apho uya kubandezeleka ngonaphakade, intuthumbo engapheliyo. Kodwa kwanabaninzi kwabo banale mbono bayavuma ukuba inqanaba lokwenene lokubandezeleka linokwahluka kuxhomekeka kubunzulu bezono ezenziweyo..

Nangona kunjalo, nangona idike lomlilo lichazwa ngokucacileyo libhekisela kwintuthumbo kanaphakade kuphela kwimeko ‘kaMtyholi nezithunywa zakhe.,’ NguYesu’ Ugxininiso lwakhe oluphindaphindiweyo, “khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo,” kwiimbekiselo zakhe ngeGehena wayebonisa ukuba kukho uhlobo oluthile lokubandezeleka nokuzisola, ubude bexesha elingachazwanga, intando kubo bonke abaphoswa emlilweni (Mat 8:12; 22:13; 24:51; 25:30; Luke 13:28). Nokunxulumana rhoqo nomlilo, hayi nje idangatye, suggests that this may involve acute physical pain. (Kwakhona sifanele sikhumbule ukuba kwakukho iintaba-mlilo eziliqela kummandla weMeditera; so the concept of a deadly and destructive lake of fire would not be entirely unknown.)

Yintoni 'uKufa kweSibini'?

Ibinzana, ‘ukufa kwesibini,’ ifumaneka izihlandlo ezine kwincwadi yeSityhilelo (Rev 2:11; 20:6; 20:14; 21:8); apho ichazwa njengedike lomlilo. Umxholo wayo, njenge Isibini ukufa, inikwe nguYesu ngokwakhe:

Musani ukuboyika abo babulala umzimba, kodwa abanako ukuwubulala umphefumlo. Endaweni yoko, yoyikani lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo kwanomzimba esihogweni somlilo. (Mat 10:28)

Ukuqonda ngokwenene ukuba kuthetha ukuthini oku, kufuneka siqwalasele imbono yeBhayibhile ngokufa. Ubomi nokufa komntu azibhekiseli ngokuyintloko ekuphelisweni kwemisebenzi yomzimba: kodwa ngamandla ethu okunxibelelana nehlabathi ngathi kunye noThixo. UThixo waxelela uAdam ukuba mhla wonayo wayeza kufa. Akazange afe ngokwasemzimbeni de kwayiminyaka emininzi kamva: kodwa kwangaloo mini ulwalamano lwakhe noThixo nokufikelela kumthi wobomi lwanqanyulwa. Umphefumlo wakho awufi xa umzimba wakho usifa. NguThixo kuphela onamandla okutshabalalisa umphefumlo. Loo ntshabalalo iqalisa ngokwahlukaniswa ngonaphakade noThixo, oko kukufa kwesibini: kodwa kwanokwahlukana oko akuthethi ukuba buphela ngokukhawuleza ubukho. Icacile, umzekelo, ukuba ‘uMtyholi nezithunywa zakhe’ iya kuqhubeka ‘ikho;’ ukanti unqunyulwe ngonaphakade ebusweni bukaThixo.

Kuthetha ukuthini Ukutshabalalisa?

Igama elithi ‘intshabalalo’ idla ngokunxulunyaniswa nesiphelo sabangendawo.

… ekutyhilekeni kweNkosi uYesu ivela ezulwini ineengelosi zayo ezinamandla isemlilweni odangazelayo, impindezelo kwabo bangamaziyo uThixo, kwanabo bangazilulameliyo iindaba ezilungileyo zeNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ngubani na oya kuhlawula isohlwayo: intshabalalo kanaphakade (G3639) ebusweni beNkosi nasebuqaqawulini bokomelela kwayo... (2Th 1:7-9)

“Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa;; ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni (G684), yaye baninzi abangena ngalo.” (Mat 7:13)

Kuthekani ukuba uThixo, ekulungele ukubonakalisa ingqumbo yakhe, nokubazisa amandla akhe, wanyamezela, enokuzeka kade okukhulu izitya zengqumbo, ezenzelwe intshabalalo (G684) (Rom 9:22)

… iintshaba zomnqamlezo kaKristu, osiphelo siyintshabalalo (G684) ... (Php 3:18-19)

Irhamncwa owalibonayo lalikho, kwaye akunjalo; liza kunyuka liphume enzonzobileni, limke liye entshabalalweni (G684). (Umfundisi 17:8)

Amagama amabini anokuguqulelwa ngokuthi ‘intshabalalo’ kulo mxholo, njengoko kubonisiwe ngamanani ereferensi kaStrongs kwizibiyeli ezingentla:

• G3639 – i-olethros – Ukusuka kwi-ollumi igama lokuqala (ukutshabalalisa; ifomu elide); intshabalalo, yiyo i, ukufa, isohlwayo: – intshabalalo.
• G684 – apoleia – Ukusuka kwi-derivative ecingelwayo ye-G622; intshabalalo okanye ilahleko (ngokwasemzimbeni, ngokomoya okanye ngonaphakade): – yingozi (-isizwe), intshabalalo, fa, intshabalalo, X kutshabalala, iindlela eziyingozi, inkcitho.

Uninzi lwethu lungathanda ukucinga ukuba ‘yintshabalalo’ kuthetha ukuba abo baphoswa emlilweni batshatyalaliswa ngephanyazo baze bangabikho. Ngelishwa akukho nalinye kula magama liye layeka ukubakho’ njengentsingiselo yayo ephambili. Endaweni yoko, zithetha inkqubo yokonakalisa. Kwaye xa siqwalasela ingcamango yokutshatyalaliswa ngomlilo, ngokuqhelekileyo iGehena inxulunyaniswa nayo, thina kunye nabafundi bokuqala siya kuqonda ukuba umlilo awudli ngoko nangoko amaxhoba awo kwaye uqhele ukushiya uhlobo oluthile lwentsalela..

Yintoni Eseleyo?

Idike lomlilo ngokwalo liya kuhlala ngonaphakade. But as for what else remains to be seen, neither Jesus nor the rest of the New Testament have much to say about this. Ekuphela kwengcaciso eyongezelelekileyo yesi siganeko ikwisahluko sokugqibela sikaIsaya:

“Kuba njengoko amazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha, endiya kuyenza, iya kuhlala phambi kwam,” utsho uYehova, “kanjalo imbewu yakho negama lakho liya kuhlala. Kuya kwenzeka, ukusuka kwenye inyanga ukuya kwenye, bethabathela kuyo isabatha baye kwenye, ize yonke inyama ukuba iqubude phambi kwam,” utsho uYehova. “baya kuphuma baphume, uzibone izidumbu zamadoda akreqileyo kum: kuba iimpethu zabo aziyi kufa, nomlilo wabo awuyi kucinywa; yaye ziya kuba lizothe kuluntu lonke.” (Isa 66:22-24)

‘Izidumbu’ ligama lesiHebhere, 'amanqaku,’ nto leyo ithetha ngokukodwa isidumbu esiqhwalelayo okanye esingaphiliyo, kanti elinye igama, 'Geviyah,’ lithetha nje ‘umzimba’ — nokuba uyaphila okanye ufile.

Abantu abaninzi, ekufundeni ibinzana elithi ‘iimpethu zabo aziyi kufa’, probably visualize this as a description of maggots feeding on rotting corpses. Kodwa, whereas it is relatively easy to visualize a fiery crater burning incessantly, kuba nzima ukuba ucinge ngokubonelela okungapheliyo kokutya kweempethu.

But there is another potentially more significant symbolism here. Ngexesha lethu ukuqwalaselwa kwangaphambili kwisigama sikaYesu, kwaphawulwa ukuba incwadi yevangeli kaMarko irekhoda uYesu echaza ngokucacileyo kwesi sicatshulwa:

Ukuba isandla sakho siyakukhubekisa, yinqumle. kukulungele ukuba ungene ebomini usisilima, kunokuba ube nezandla zozibini ukuya eGehena, emlilweni ongacimiyo, ‘apho intshulube yabo (G4663) ayifi (G5053), nomlilo awucinywa.’ Ukuba unyawo lwakho luya kukhubekisa, yinqumle. kulunge kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, kunokuba iinyawo zakho zombini uphoswe eGehena, emlilweni ongacimiyo – ‘apho intshulube yabo (G4663) ayifi (G5053), nomlilo awucinywa.’ Ukuba iliso lakho liya kukhubekisa, yikhuphe. kukulungele kanye ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo, ‘apho intshulube yabo (G4663) ayifi (G5053), nomlilo awucinywa.’ (Mar 9:43-48)

We noted at that time that, whereas the Greek word (G4663) kuzo zombini inguqulelo kaMarko neSeptuagint ye Is 66:24 ngokuqhelekileyo iguqulelwa ngokuthi ‘impethu,’ ‘umgquba’ or ‘worm,’ isiHebhere santlandlolo se Is 66:24 is different. The normal Hebrew equivalent would be ” rimmah” (H7415): but instead it uses a very specific term, “tole’ah” (H8438). This translates as the name of one very specific kind of grub ('igrub ebomvu', Kermes ilicis) okanye ngedayi ebomvu eqaqambileyo okanye emfusa eyayidume ngayo loo ngqukuva. (And since the Greek uses a generic term for ‘grub,’ kubonakala ngathi kugxilwe kwigrub ngokwayo, rather than just its colour.)

Ngoku le grub inomjikelo wobomi ongaqhelekanga. Abantu abadala suku dla inyama ebolileyo: kodwa ngaphezu kwencindi yemithi ye-oki. Kodwa xa imazi izakubeka amaqanda ayo, iyazidibanisa nesiqu okanye igqabi, ukwenza into engathi yinyongo ebomvu edumbileyo esebenza njengekhaka eliphilayo kumantshontsho ayo; zide ziqanduselwe zize zigqibe unina ofayo. Umbala obomvu oveliswa ngumama ekuqaleni ucace kangangokuba ufaka umbala kumagqabi, amasetyana namahluli ngokwawo (eziqokelelwa zomiswe ukwenza idayi). Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva kokuqanduselwa kwe-grubs, into eshiyekileyo kumama iyawa ibemhlophe, imathiriyeli ene-waxy, efana neblob yoboya.

Now this word “tole’ah” is the same word for ‘worm’ oko kufumaneka kwi Psalm 22:6, apho ichaza uYesu ejinga emnqamlezweni.¹ Kwaye ikwaligama elifanayo elisetyenziswe kuyo Isaiah 1:18:

“Come now, siwulungise umcimbi,” utsho uYehova. “Nangona izono zenu zibomvu krwe, ziya kuba mhlophe njengekhephu; nakuba zibomvu njengengqombela [“tole’ah”], they shall be as wool.”

Ngoko siye safumana, kule ntetho ingaqhelekanga, a vivid picture of how Jesus shielded us from judgement on the cross. He laid himself over us; encama ubomi bakhe, ukuze sitye ngaye, siphile (John 6:51-56). And He then reappears as the sinless one, ukuze abelane nathi ngobulungisa bakhe.

Kodwa la magruzu ‘akafi’ ngayiphi ingqiqo’ (G5053)? Kuzo zonke ezinye zazo 9 N.T. iziganeko, eli gama lichaza ukufa kwebhayoloji: kodwa umxholo apha ucebisa ingqiqo yesafobe ngakumbi.

Is it suggesting that, ngandlela thile, those consigned to the lake of fire actually survive? This seems improbable, since we are talking here about the second death, which destroys both soul and body Mat 10:28. Yet even when the grubs are killed, their vivid red colouration remains, leaving a grim reminder that what took place here was, in God’s eyes, the greatest tragedy of all time! Ngoba? Because it wasn’t for lack of mercy that they died!

The apostle John tells us concerning Jesus that …

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, hayi eyethu kuphela, Kodwa nakwilizwe liphela. (1Jn 2:2)

Jesus has already done everything necessary to provide a free pardon for anyone who comes to Him for mercy.

Bonke andinika bona uBawo, baya kuza kum;. lowo uzayo kum, andisayi kukha ndimlahlele phandle. ngokuba ndihle emazulwini;, ndingenzi intando yam, kodwa ukuthanda kwalowo wandithumayo. Kuko oku ukuthanda kowandithumayo uBawo, ukuze ndingalahli nto kuko konke awandinikayo, umelwe kukuthi amvuse ngomhla wokugqibela. This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:37-40)

The Lord … is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

Even to the very end of your life, God is still longing to save and forgive you. Kodwa I-Evil's Vicious Spiral is constantly at work, seeking to keep you from ever coming to Jesus. Remember the 2 criminals dying beside Jesus on the cross? One turned to Jesus and found instant pardon for all his misdeeds! But the other was so hardened he could not recognize love even when it was staring him in the face. Even as Jesus was praying for his tormentors, he treated Jesus with the same contempt as those who engineered his death. (Luk 23:34-43)

Beware, bazalwana, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today;” lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. (Hebrews 3:12-13)

Ukusebenza kunye, Siyanibongoza ukuba ungamkeli ubabalo lukaThixo,, Kuba uthi, “Ngexesha elamkelekileyo ndikumamele, Ngemini yokusindiswa ndakunceda.” Khangela, ngoku lixesha elamkelekileyo. Khangela, Ngoku yimini yosindiso. (2 Korinte 6:1-2)

… how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation… ? (Hebrews 2:3)
