Muyenera kubadwa mwatsopano

Ndani angatulutse choyera m’chodetsa? Osati mmodzi. ( Yobu 14:4 ) Kodi ndinu membala wa tchalitchi? Kodi mukutsimikiza za chipulumutso chanu? Kodi mwangovomereza kumene chipembedzo? Kodi mumatsimikizadi kuti mwabadwanso ndipo ndinu Mkhristu weniweni? Uthenga uwu ukuthandizeni kudziwa pamene mukuyima—mkhristu wobadwanso mwatsopano ndi wopulumutsidwa kapena membala wachipembedzo ndi wosapulumutsidwa.

Mawu akuti “kubadwanso” amachokera ku mawu amene Yesu Khristu ananena kwa Nikodemo, wolamulira wa Ayuda, amene anabwera kwa Iye usiku (Yohane 3:1-21). Nikodemo ankafuna kukhala pafupi ndi Mulungu ndi kupanga ufumu wa Mulungu; chinthu chomwecho chimene inu ndi ine timachifuna. Dzikoli likusintha. Zinthu zikuipiraipira ndipo palibe chiyembekezo. Ndalama sizingathetse mavuto athu. Imfa ili paliponse. Funso n’lakuti, “Kodi n’chiyani chidzachitikire munthu pambuyo pa moyo wapadziko lapansi wamakonowu? Ngakhale moyo wapadziko lapansi ukhale wabwino bwanji kwa inu, udzatha tsiku lina ndipo mudzakumana ndi Mulungu. Kodi mungadziwe bwanji ngati Yehova Mulungu angavomereze moyo wanu wa padziko lapansi [omwe amatanthauza kuyanjidwa ndi kumwamba] kapena ngati angakane moyo wanu padziko lapansi [kutanthauza kuipidwa ndi nyanja yamoto]? Izi n’zimene Nikodemo ankafuna kudziwa ndipo Yesu Kristu anam’patsa njira yoti anthu onse asayanjidwe. Njira yake ndi iyi: MUYENERA KUBADWA KAPIRI [Chipulumutso).

Yesu anati, “Ngati munthu sabadwa mwatsopano, sakhoza kuona ufumu wa Mulungu” (Yohane 3:3). Chifukwa chake ndi chophweka; anthu onse anachimwa kuyambira pa nthawi ya kugwa kwa Adamu ndi Hava m’munda wa Edeni. Baibulo limati: “Pakuti onse anachimwa, napereŵera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu.” ( Aroma 3:23 ) Inde Komanso, Aroma 6:23 amati: “Pakuti mphotho yake ya uchimo ndi imfa; koma mphatso yaulere ya Mulungu ndiyo moyo wosatha wa mwa Kristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.” Njira yothetsera uchimo ndi imfa ndiyo kubadwanso mwatsopano. Kubadwa mwatsopano kumasulira munthu ku ufumu wa Mulungu ndi moyo wosatha mwa Yesu Khristu.

Lemba la Yohane 3:16 limati: “Pakuti Mulungu anakonda kwambiri dziko mwakuti anapereka Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha.” Mulungu wakhala akupanga makonzedwe a kulanditsa munthu m’manja mwa satana, koma munthu akupitiriza kukana chipulumutso ndi ubwino wa Mulungu. Pano pali chitsanzo cha mmene Mulungu anachitira khama kuchenjeza anthu za zotsatirapo za kukana njira yake yothetsera vuto la uchimo la munthu: pamene ana a Israyeli anachimwira Mulungu ndi kulankhula motsutsana ndi mneneri wake, Mose, Mulungu anatumiza njoka zamoto kuti ziwaluma ndipo ambiri analakwira Mulungu. Anthu anafa ( Numeri 21:5-9 ). Anthu analirira kwa Mulungu kuti awapulumutse ku imfa ndi njoka zamoto. Mulungu anasonyeza chifundo ndipo analankhula ndi Mose motere: “Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, Panga njoka yamoto, nuiike pamtengo; pamene aipenya adzakhala ndi moyo” (v. 8). Mose anachitadi zimene Yehova anamuuza. Kuyambira pamenepo, munthu wolumidwa ndi njoka akayang’ana m’mwamba pa njoka yamkuwa imene Mose anapanga, munthu ameneyo anakhala ndi moyo, ndipo aliyense amene akana kuyang’ana m’mwamba pa njoka yamkuwa yoikidwa pamtengo amafa ndi njokayo. Kusankha kwa moyo ndi imfa kunasiyidwa kwa munthu payekha.

Zimene zinachitika m’chipululu zinali mthunzi wa m’tsogolo. Pa Yohane 3:14-15 , Yesu anatchula za makonzedwe amene Mulungu anapereka kaamba ka chipulumutso pa Numeri 21:8 pamene ananena kuti: “Monga Mose anakweza mmwamba njoka m’chipululu, chotero Mwana wa munthu ayenera kukwezedwa. Kuti yense wakukhulupirira Iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha.” Yesu anabwera pa dziko lapansi kudzapulumutsa ochimwa monga inu ndi ine. Mateyu 1:23 amati: “Taonani, namwali adzakhala ndi mwana, nadzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo adzamutcha dzina lake Emanuele, ndilo losandulika, Mulungu ali nafe. Ndiponso, vesi 21 limati: “Ndipo iye adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha dzina lake YESU; Anthu ake pano akunena za onse amene amamuvomereza monga Mpulumutsi ndi Ambuye wawo, amene akubadwanso mwatsopano. Yesu Kristu anakwaniritsa ufulu ndi mwayi wobadwanso mwatsopano ndipo potero anapulumutsa anthu onse pa chikwapu, pa mtanda, ndi mwa chiukitsiro ndi kukwera kumwamba. Asanapereke mzimu wake pamtanda, Yesu anati, “Kwatha. Landirani ndikupulumutsidwa kapena kukana ndikuweruzidwa.

Mtumwi Paulo, pa 1 Timoteo 1:15, anachitira umboni za ntchito yomalizidwa motere: “Mawu awa ali okhulupirika, ndi oyenera kulandiridwa konse, kuti Kristu anadza ku dziko lapansi kupulumutsa ochimwa ngati inu ndi ine. Komanso, pa Machitidwe 2:21, mtumwi Petro ananena kuti: “Aliyense amene adzaitana pa dzina la Yehova adzapulumuka.” Komanso, lemba la Yohane 3:17 limati: “Mulungu sanatume Mwana wake kudziko lapansi kuti akaweruze dziko lapansi; koma kuti dziko lapansi likapulumutsidwe ndi Iye.” Ndikofunikira kudziwa Yesu Khristu ngati Mpulumutsi ndi Ambuye wanu. Iye adzakhala Mpulumutsi wanu ku uchimo, mantha, matenda, zoipa, imfa yauzimu, gahena ndi nyanja ya moto. Monga mukuonera, kukhala achipembedzo ndi kusunga umembala wachangu wa mpingo sikungakupatseni chisomo ndi moyo wosatha ndi Mulungu. Chikhulupiriro chokha mu ntchito yomalizidwa ya chipulumutso imene Ambuye Yesu Kristu anatipezera mwa imfa ndi chiukitsiro Chake chimene chingakutsimikizireni chiyanjo chamuyaya ndi chisungiko. Osachedwetsa. Fulumira ndi kupereka moyo wako kwa Yesu Khristu lero!

Muyenera kubadwa mwatsopano (Gawo II)

Kodi kupulumutsidwa kumatanthauza chiyani? Kupulumutsidwa kumatanthauza kubadwa mwatsopano ndi kulandiridwa mu banja lauzimu la Mulungu. Izo zimakupangani inu mwana wa Mulungu. Ichi ndi chozizwitsa. Ndinu cholengedwa chatsopano chifukwa Yesu Khristu walowa mu moyo wanu. Mumapangidwa atsopano chifukwa Yesu Khristu wayamba kukhala mwa inu. Thupi lanu limakhala kachisi wa Mzimu Woyera. Inu mumakwatiwa kwa Iye, Ambuye Yesu Khristu. Pali kumverera kwa chisangalalo, mtendere ndi chidaliro; si chipembedzo. Inu mwalandira Munthu, Ambuye Yesu Khristu, mu moyo wanu. Simulinso anu.

Baibulo limati: “Onse amene anamlandira Iye, kwa iwo anapatsa mphamvu yakukhala ana a Mulungu” (Yohane 1:12). Tsopano ndinu membala wa banja lenileni lachifumu. Mwazi wa Ufumu wa Ambuye Yesu Khristu udzayamba kuyenda m’mitsempha yanu mukangobadwanso mwa Iye. Tsopano, dziwani kuti muyenera kuvomereza machimo anu ndi kukhululukidwa ndi Yesu Khristu kuti mupulumutsidwe. Mateyu 1:21 akutsimikizira kuti, “Udzamutcha dzina lake Yesu, pakuti Iyeyo adzapulumutsa anthu ake ku machimo awo. Komanso, pa Aheberi 10:17, Baibulo limati: “Machimo awo ndi mphulupulu zawo sindidzakumbukiranso.”

Pamene mwapulumutsidwa, mumalandira moyo watsopano monga momwe kwalembedwera pa 2 Akorinto 5:17 , “Ngati munthu aliyense ali mwa Khristu ali wolengedwa watsopano: zinthu zakale zipita; Chonde dziwani kuti munthu wochimwa sangakhale ndi mtendere weniweni m’moyo wake. Kubadwa mwatsopano kumatanthauza kuvomereza Yesu Khristu kukhala Mbuye ndi Mpulumutsi wako. Mtendere weniweni umachokera kwa Kalonga wa Mtendere, Yesu Kristu, monga momwe kwalongosoledwera pa Aroma 5:1 , “Chifukwa chake pokhala olungama ndi chikhulupiriro, tikhala ndi mtendere ndi Mulungu mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Kristu.

Ngati mwabadwanso mwatsopano kapena mwapulumutsidwa, mumalowa mu chiyanjano chenicheni ndi Mulungu. Ambuye Yesu Kristu anati mu Marko 16:16, “Iye amene akhulupirira nabatizidwa adzapulumutsidwa.” Mtumwi Paulo ananenanso pa Aroma 10:9 kuti: “Ngati udzabvomereza m’kamwa mwako kuti Yesu ndiye Ambuye, ndi kukhulupirira mumtima mwako kuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa, udzapulumuka.”

Ngati mwapulumutsidwa, mudzatsatira malemba ndi kuchita zimene amanena moona mtima. Ndiponso, lonjezo la mu 1 Epistola la Yohane 3:14, “Ife tikudziwa kuti ife tachoka mu imfa kupita ku moyo…” lidzakwaniritsidwa m’moyo wanu. Khristu ndiye Moyo Wamuyaya.

Ndinu tsopano Mkhristu, munthu amene:

• Wadza kwa Mulungu ngati wochimwa wofuna chikhululuko ndi moyo wosatha.
• Wadzipereka kwa Yesu Khristu, Ambuye, mwa chikhulupiriro monga Mpulumutsi wake, Ambuye, Ambuye ndi Mulungu.
• Wavomereza poyera kuti Yesu Khristu ndi Ambuye.
• Akuchita chilichonse kuti akondweretse Yehova nthawi zonse.
• Akuchita zonse kuti amudziwe bwino Yesu monga momwe kwafotokozedwera pa Machitidwe 2:36, “Mulungu anampanga Ambuye Yesu yemweyo amene inu munampachika kukhala Ambuye ndi Mulungu.”
• Akuchita zonse zomwe angathe kuti adziwe kuti Yesu Khristu ndi ndani kwenikweni ndi chifukwa chake ananena mawu ena ophatikizapo:
• “Ndadza Ine m’dzina la Atate wanga, ndipo simundilandira Ine;
• “Yesu anayankha nati kwa iwo, Pasulani kachisi uyu, ndipo m’masiku atatu ndidzamuutsa” (Yohane 2:19).
• “Ine ndine khomo la nkhosa…. Ine ndine m’busa wabwino, ndipo nkhosa zanga ndimazidziwa, ndipo zanga zindizindikira…. Nkhosa zanga zimva mawu anga, ndipo Ine ndizizindikira, ndipo zinditsata Ine.”​—Yohane 10:7, 14, 27.
• Yesu anati: “Ngati mudzapempha kanthu m’dzina langa, ndidzachita” (Yohane 14:14).
• Yesu anati, “Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, chiyambi ndi mapeto, atero Yehova, amene ali, amene anali, ndi amene akubwera, Wamphamvuyonse.” ( Chivumbulutso 1:8 ) Yesu anati: “Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, chiyambi ndi mapeto.
• “Ine ndine Iye amene ali moyo, ndipo ndinali wakufa; ndipo taonani, ndili wamoyo kufikira nthawi za nthawi, Ameni: ndipo ndiri nawo mafungulo a gehena ndi imfa” ( Chibvumbulutso 1:18 ).

Pomaliza, pa Marko 16:15-18, Yesu anakupatsani inu ndi ine malamulo ake omaliza: “Pitani ku dziko lonse lapansi, lalikirani Uthenga Wabwino kwa olengedwa onse. Iye amene akhulupirira nabatizidwa [m’dzina la Ambuye Yesu Kristu] adzapulumutsidwa; koma iye wosakhulupirira adzalangidwa. Ndipo zizindikiro izi zidzawatsata iwo amene akhulupirira; m’dzina langa [Ambuye Yesu Kristu] adzatulutsa ziwanda; adzalankhula ndi malilime atsopano; Adzatola njoka; ndipo ngati amwa kanthu kakufa nako, sikadzawapweteka; adzaika manja pa odwala, ndipo adzachira.

Inu muyenera kulandira Yesu Khristu tsopano. Lero, ngati mumva Mau ake, musaumitse mtima wanu monga pa tsiku la kupsa mtima m’chipululu pamene ana a Israyeli anayesa Mulungu ( Salmo 95:7 & 8 ). Tsopano ndi nthawi yovomerezeka. Lero ndi tsiku la chipulumutso (2 Akorinto 6:2). Petro anati kwa iwo ndi kwa inu ndi ine, “Lapani, batizidwani yense wa inu m’dzina la Yesu Khristu kuloza ku chikhululukiro cha machimo, ndipo mudzalandira mphatso ya Mzimu Woyera” ( Machitidwe 2:38 ). “Pakuti muli opulumutsidwa ndi chisomo chakuchita mwa chikhulupiriro; ndipo izi sizichokera kwa inu; ndi mphatso ya Mulungu; osati mwa ntchito, kuti asadzitamandire munthu ali yense” (Aefeso 2:8 & 9).

Pomaliza, vomerezani kuti ndinu wochimwa. Khalani ndi chisoni chifukwa cha izi kotero kuti mugwada pa maondo anu mopanda kudzikuza, ndi kulapa machimo anu (2 Akorinto 7; 10). Lapani machimo anu kwa Mulungu; osati kwa munthu aliyense, pakuti anthu onse ndi ochimwa. Mulungu ndi Mzimu, ndipo Yesu Khristu ndi Mulungu (Miyambo 28:10; 1 Yohane 1:19).

Chokani ku njira zanu zoipa. Ndinu cholengedwa chatsopano mwa Yesu Khristu. Zinthu zakale zapita, zonse zakhala zatsopano. Pemphani chikhululuko cha machimo anu. Perekani moyo wanu kwa Yesu Khristu. Muloleni Iye ayendetse moyo wanu. Khalani mu matamando, mapemphero, kusala kudya, kupereka ku ntchito ya uthenga wabwino, ndi kuwerenga Baibulo tsiku ndi tsiku. Sinkhasinkhani malonjezo a Mulungu. Uzani ena za Yesu Khristu. Polandira Yesu Khristu, mumayesedwa anzeru, ndipo chifukwa chochitira umboni kwa ena, mudzawala ngati nyenyezi kwamuyaya (Danieli 12:3). Chofunika ndi moyo umene uli mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye, osati kulowa mpingo. Moyo umenewo suli mu mpingo. Moyo umenewo uli mwa Khristu Yesu, Ambuye wa Ulemerero. Munthu amayeretsedwa ndi Mzimu. Ndi Mzimu wachiyero umene unaukitsa Yesu kwa akufa umene umakhala mwa ife ndi kutipanga ife oyera ndi chiyero chake. Kumbukirani kuti Yesu Khristu sali gawo la Mulungu; Iye ndi Mulungu. Adzabwera m’moyo mwanu ngati mumupempha ndikusintha tsogolo lanu kotheratu. Amene. Tsopano kodi inu mumulandira Iye ndi kubadwa kachiwiri? Werengani Aefeso 2:11-22 . Amene. Mukapulumutsidwa, mumabatizidwa mmadzi mu DZINA la Yesu Khristu; osati ATATE, MWANA ndi Mzimu Woyera popanda kudziwa DZINA—Kumbukirani Yohane 5:43. Ndiye batizidwani ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi moto.

Mulungu ali ndi chifukwa choperekera Mzimu Woyera. Kuyankhula mu malirime ndi kunenera ndi mawonetseredwe a kukhalapo kwa Mzimu Woyera. Koma chifukwa cha [ubatizo] wa Mzimu Woyera chimapezeka mu mawu a Yesu Khristu, Mbatizi ndi Mzimu Woyera. Asanakwere kumwamba, Yesu anauza atumwiwo kuti: “Koma mudzalandira mphamvu, Mzimu Woyera atadza pa inu [mphamvu imaperekedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera] ndipo mudzakhala mboni zanga m’Yerusalemu, ndi m’Yudeya lonse; ndi m’Samariya, ndi kufikira malekezero a dziko” ( Machitidwe 1:8 ). Kotero, tikhoza kuona bwino lomwe kuti chifukwa cha ubatizo wa Mzimu Woyera ndi moto ndi utumiki ndi umboni. Mzimu Woyera umapereka mphamvu yolankhula, ndi kuchita [ntchito zonse] zimene Yesu Khristu anachita pamene anali padziko lapansi. Mzimu Woyera umatipanga ife [iwo amene alandira Mzimu Woyera] mboni Zake. Takulandirani ku banja la Mulungu. Sekerani, sangalalani.
