Kufanele nizalwe kabusha

Ngubani ongakhipha okuhlambulukileyo kokungcolileyo na? Akekho noyedwa. ( Jobe 14:4 ) Ingabe umane nje uyilungu lesonto? Ingabe uqinisekile ngensindiso yakho? Ingabe usanda kwamukela inkolo? Ingabe uyaqiniseka ngempela ukuthi uzelwe kabusha nokuthi ungumKristu wangempela? Lo mlayezo kufanele ukusize ukwazi ukuthi umi kuphi—umKrestu ozelwe ngokusha nosindisiwe noma ilunga lesonto lezenkolo nelingasindisiwe.

Igama elithi “ukuzalwa ngokusha” livela enkulumweni eyashiwo uJesu Kristu kuNikodemu, umbusi wamaJuda, owafika kuye ebusuku (Johane 3:1-21). UNikodemu wayefuna ukusondela kuNkulunkulu futhi enze umbuso kaNkulunkulu; into efanayo mina nawe esiyifisayo. Lo mhlaba uyashintsha. Izinto ziya ziba zimbi futhi ziphelelwa yithemba. Imali ayikwazi ukuxazulula izinkinga zethu. Ukufa kukhona yonke indawo. Umbuzo uwukuthi, “Kwenzekani kumuntu ngemva kwalokhu kuphila kwamanje kwasemhlabeni? Noma ngabe inhle kangakanani lempilo yasemhlabeni kuwe, iyofika esiphethweni ngelinye ilanga futhi uyobhekana noNkulunkulu. Wazi kanjani, uma iNkosi uNkulunkulu ivuma ukuphila kwakho emhlabeni [okusho umusa nezulu] noma ingakwamukeli ukuphila kwakho emhlabeni [okusho ukungamukeleki nechibi lomlilo]? Yilokho uNikodemu ayefuna ukukwazi futhi uJesu Kristu wamnika indlela yokwamukela umusa noma ukungamukeleki kuso sonke isintu. Ifomula yilena: KUMELE UZALWE KASHA [Insindiso).

UJesu wathi: “Uma umuntu engazalwa ngokusha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu” (Johane 3:3). Isizathu silula; bonke abantu bonile kusukela ngesikhathi sokuwa kuka-Adamu no-Eva ensimini yase-Edene. IBhayibheli lithi: “Ngokuba bonke bonile, basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu” (KwabaseRoma 3:23). Futhi, eyabaseRoma 6:23 ithi, “Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.” Ikhambi lesono nokufa liwukuzalwa ngokusha. Ukuzalwa ngokusha kuhumusha umuntu embusweni kaNkulunkulu kanye nokuphila okuphakade kuJesu Kristu.

UJohane 3:16 ufundeka kanje: “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. UNkulunkulu ubelokhu enza ilungiselelo lokukhulula umuntu ezandleni zikaSathane, kodwa umuntu uyaqhubeka nokumelana nokukhululwa nobuhle bukaNkulunkulu. Nasi isibonelo sendlela uNkulunkulu enza ngayo umzamo wokuxwayisa isintu ngemiphumela yokwenqaba ikhambi Lakhe lenkinga yesono somuntu: lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bona kuNkulunkulu futhi bekhuluma ngomprofethi wakhe uMose, uNkulunkulu wathumela izinyoka ezinomlilo ukuba zibalume futhi abaningi. abantu bafa (Numeri 21:5-9). Abantu bakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuba abasindise ekufeni ngezinyoka ezinomlilo. UNkulunkulu wabonisa umusa futhi wakhuluma noMose kanje: “UJehova wayesethi kuMose: Yenza inyoka enesihlungu, uyibeke esigxotsheni; lapho eyibheka uyakuphila” (indima 8). UMose wenza njengoba nje uJehova ayemtshele ukuba akwenze. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, lapho umuntu elunywe inyoka ebheka phezulu enyokeni yethusi eyayenziwa uMose, lowo muntu waphila, futhi noma ubani owala ukubheka inyoka yethusi eyayibekwe esigxotsheni wayefa ngokulunywa yinyoka. Ukuzikhethela ukuphila nokufa kwakushiyelwa kumuntu.

Isigameko sasehlane sasiyisithunzi sekusasa. KuJohane 3:14-15, uJesu wabhekisela elungiselelweni uNkulunkulu alenza lokukhululwa kuNumeri 21:8 lapho ethi, “Njengoba uMose waphakamisa inyoka ehlane, kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu kumelwe iphakanyiswe. Ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” UJesu weza emhlabeni ukuzosindisa izoni, njengami nawe. UMathewu 1:23 ufundeka kanje: “Bheka, intombi iyoba nomntwana, izale indodana, bayoqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Emanuweli, okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa, uNkulunkulu unathi. Futhi, ivesi 21 lithi, “Uyakuzala indodana, uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu, ngokuba nguye oyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.” Abantu bakhe lapha babhekisela kubo bonke abamamukela njengoMsindisi neNkosi yabo, abazalwa ngokusha. UJesu Kristu wazuza ilungelo kanye nokufinyelela ekuzalweni kabusha futhi ngalokho wasindisa sonke isintu esigxotsheni sokushaywa, esiphambanweni, nangokuvuka nokunyukela kwakhe ezulwini. Ngaphambi kokunikela ngesipoki esiphambanweni, uJesu wathi, “Kufeziwe.” Yamukela futhi usindiswe noma wenqabe futhi ulahlwe.

Umphostoli uPawulu, kweyoku-1 Thimothewu 1:15 wafakaza ngomsebenzi osuphelile, “Likholekile leli zwi, lifanele ukwamukelwa konke, lokuthi uKristu weza ezweni ukuba asindise izoni” ezinjengami nawe. Futhi, kuzEnzo 2:21, umphostoli uPetru wathi, “Yilowo nalowo obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa.” Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJohane 3:17 uthi: “UNkulunkulu akayithumanga indodana yakhe ezweni ukuba ilahle izwe; kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye. Kubalulekile ukwazi uJesu Kristu njengoMsindisi neNkosi yakho. Uyoba uMsindisi wakho esonweni, ekwesabeni, ezifweni, ebubini, ekufeni komoya, esihogweni nasechibini lomlilo. Njengoba ubona, ukuba nenkolo nokugcina ubulungu bebandla obukhuthele akukuniki futhi akukwazi ukukunika umusa nokuphila okuphakade noNkulunkulu. Ukukholwa kuphela emsebenzini oqediwe wensindiso iNkosi uJesu Kristu eyawutholela thina ngokufa nokuvuka Kwayo okungakuqinisekisa umusa nokulondeka kwaphakade. Ungalibali. Shesha unikele impilo yakho kuJesu Kristu namuhla!

Kumele nizalwe kabusha (Ingxenye II)

Kusho ukuthini ukusindiswa? Ukusindiswa kusho ukuzalwa kabusha nokwamukelwa emndenini kaNkulunkulu ongokomoya. Lokho kukwenza ube ngumntwana kaNkulunkulu. Yisimangaliso lesi. Uyisidalwa esisha ngoba uJesu Kristu usengenile empilweni yakho. Wenziwa musha ngoba uJesu Kristu uqala ukuhlala kuwe. Umzimba wakho uba yithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele. Ushada naYe, iNkosi uJesu Kristu. Kunomuzwa wenjabulo, ukuthula nokuzethemba; akusiyo inkolo. Wemukele uMuntu, iNkosi uJesu Kristu, empilweni yakho. Awuseyena owakho.

IBhayibheli lithi: “Bonke abamamukelayo wabanika amandla okuba babe abantwana bakaNkulunkulu” (Johane 1:12). Manje usuyilungu lomndeni wasebukhosini wangempela. Igazi lobukhosi leNkosi uJesu Kristu liyoqala ukugeleza emithanjeni yakho ngokushesha nje lapho usuzelwe kabusha kuye. Manje, qaphela ukuthi kufanele uvume izono zakho futhi uthethelelwe nguJesu Kristu ukuze usindiswe. UMathewu 1:21 uyaqinisekisa: “Uyakuqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi uJesu, ngokuba nguye oyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo. Futhi, kumaHeberu 10:17, iBhayibheli lithi, “Nezono zabo nobubi babo angisayikukukhumbula.”

Lapho usindiswa, uthola ukuphila okusha njengoba kushiwo kweyesi-2 Korinte 5:17, “Uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha, okwakuqala kudlula; Sicela uqaphele ukuthi umuntu onesono akasoze abe nokuthula kwangempela emphefumulweni wakhe. Ukuzalwa ngokusha kusho ukwamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho. Ukuthula kwangempela kuvela eNkosini yokuthula, uJesu Kristu, njengoba kushiwo kweyabaseRoma 5:1 , “Ngakho-ke sesilungisisiwe ngokukholwa, sinokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.”

Uma ngempela uzelwe kabusha noma usindisiwe, ungena ebudlelwaneni bangempela noNkulunkulu. INkosi uJesu Kristu yathi kuMarku 16:16, “Okholwayo abhapathizwe uyakusindiswa.” Umphostoli uPawulu naye wathi kwabaseRoma 10:9, “Uma uvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi, ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, uyakusindiswa.”

Uma usindisiwe, uzolandela imibhalo futhi wenze lokho ekusho ngobuqotho. Futhi, isithembiso esisencwadini yoku-1 kaJohane 3:14, “Siyazi ukuthi sidlulile ekufeni hamba siphile…” sizogcwaliseka empilweni yakho. UKristu ungukuPhila okuPhakade.

Manje usungumKristu, umuntu othi:

• Uze kuNkulunkulu njengesoni efuna intethelelo nokuphila okuphakade.
• Uzinikele kuJesu Kristu, iNkosi, ngokukholwa njengoMsindisi wakhe, uMphathi, iNkosi noNkulunkulu wakhe.
• Uvumile obala ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi.
• Wenza konke ukuthokozisa iNkosi njalo.
• Wenza konke ukuze azi uJesu kangcono njengoba kushiwo kuzEnzo 2:36, “UNkulunkulu uyenzile yona iNkosi uJesu enambethela esiphambanweni, iNkosi noNkulunkulu.”
• Ingabe wenza konke angakwenza ukuze athole ukuthi uJesu Kristu ungubani ngempela nokuthi kungani enza izinkulumo ezithile ezihlanganisa lokhu okulandelayo:
• “Ngize egameni likaBaba futhi aningamukeli: uma omunye eza ngelakhe igama, niyomamukela yena” ( Johane 5:43 ).
• “UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo, Bhidliza leli thempeli, futhi ngezinsuku ezintathu ngiyakulivusa” (Johane 2:19).
• “Mina ngiyisango lezimvu…. Mina ngingumalusi omuhle, futhi ngiyazazi izimvu zami, futhi ezami ziyaziwa…. Izimvu zami ziyalizwa izwi lami, nami ngiyazazi, futhi ziyangilandela.”—Johane 10:7, 14, 27.
• UJesu wathi, “Uma nicela noma yini egameni lami, ngoyenza” (Johane 14:14).
• UJesu wathi, “Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho, isho iNkosi, ekhona, neyayikhona, nezayo uMninimandla onke” (IsAmbulo 1:8).
• “Mina ngingophilayo, futhi ngangifile; futhi bheka, ngiyaphila kuze kube phakade naphakade, Amen: futhi nginezihluthulelo zesihogo nokufa” (IsAmbulo 1:18).

Ekugcineni, kuMarku 16:15 – 18, uJesu wanikeza mina nawe imiyalo Yakhe yokugcina: “Hambani niye ezweni lonke nishumayele ivangeli kukho konke okudaliweyo. Okholwayo abhapathizwe [egameni leNkosi uJesu Kristu] uyakusindiswa; kodwa ongakholwayo uyakulahlwa. Lezizibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo; egameni lami [iNkosi uJesu Kristu] bayokhipha amademoni; bayakukhuluma ngezilimi ezintsha; bayakubamba izinyoka; futhi uma bephuza okubulalayo, akusoze kwabalimaza; bayakubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, basinde.

Kufanele wamukele uJesu Kristu manje. Namuhla, uma nizwa Izwi Lakhe, ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengasosukwini lokucasuka ehlane lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bevivinya uNkulunkulu (IHubo 95: 7 & 8). Manje yisikhathi esamukelekile. Namuhla usuku lwensindiso (2 Korinte 6:2). UPetru wathi kubo nakimi kanye nani, “Phendukani futhi nibhapathizwe nonke ngabanye egameni likaJesu Kristu kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono zenu, futhi niyokwamukela isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele” (Izenzo 2; 38). “Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; nalokhu akuveli kini; kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; akuveli ngemisebenzi, funa kube khona ozibongayo” (Kwabase-Efesu 2:8 &9).

Ekuphetheni, yemukela iqiniso lokuthi uyisoni. Zisole ngakho ukuze niguqe ngamadolo ngokungaziphakamisi, futhi niphenduke ezonweni zenu (2 Korinte 7; 10). Vuma izono zakho kuNkulunkulu; hhayi kumuntu, ngokuba bonke bayizoni. UNkulunkulu unguMoya, futhi uJesu Kristu unguNkulunkulu (IzAga 28:10; 1 Johane 1:19).

sukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi. Uyisidalwa esisha kuJesu Kristu. Izinto ezindala zidlulile, zonke sezivele zaba zintsha. Cela intethelelo yezono zakho. Nikela impilo yakho kuJesu Kristu. Mvumele alawule impilo yakho. Hlala ekudumiseni, emthandazweni, ekuzila ukudla, ekunikeleni emsebenzini wevangeli, nasekufundeni ibhayibheli nsuku zonke. Zindla ngezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu. Tshela abanye ngoJesu Kristu. Ngokwamukela uJesu Kristu, uthathwa njengohlakaniphileyo, futhi ngokufakaza kwabanye, uzokhanya njengezinkanyezi kuze kube phakade (Daniyeli 12: 3). Okubalulekile ukuphila okukuKristu Jesu, iNkosi, ukungahlanganisi ibandla. Leyompilo ayikho esontweni. Lokho kuphila kukuKristu Jesu, iNkosi yenkazimulo. Umuntu wenziwa ngcwele ngoMoya. NguMoya wobungcwele owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo ohlala kithi futhi usenza sibe ngcwele ngobungcwele bakhe. Khumbula ukuthi uJesu Kristu akayona ingxenye kaNkulunkulu; UnguNkulunkulu. Uzongena empilweni yakho uma umcela futhi uguqule isiphetho sakho ngokuphelele. Amen. Manje uzomamukela futhi uzalwe kabusha? Funda eyabase-Efesu 2:11-22. Amen. Uma usindisiwe, ubhapathizwa emanzini EGAMENI likaJesu Kristu; hhayi UBABA, INDODANA kanye noMoya oNgcwele ngaphandle kokwazi iGAMA—Khumbula uJohane 5:43 . Bese ubhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele nomlilo.

UNkulunkulu unesizathu sokunikeza uMoya oNgcwele. Ukukhuluma ngezilimi nokuprofetha kungukubonakaliswa kobukhona bukaMoya oNgcwele. Kodwa isizathu [sokubhabhadiswa] koMoya oNgcwele singatholakala emazwini kaJesu Kristu, umbhabhadisi ngoMoya oNgcwele. Ngaphambi kokwenyuka Kwakhe, uJesu wathi kubaphostoli, “Kepha niyakwamukeliswa amandla, esefikile phezu kwenu uMoya oNgcwele [amandla anikelwa ngoMoya oNgcwele], nibe-ngofakazi bami eJerusalema naseJudiya lonke; naseSamariya, kuze kube-sekugcineni komhlaba” ( IzEnzo 1:8 ). Ngakho-ke, singabona ngokucacile ukuthi isizathu sokubhabhadiswa kukaMoya oNgcwele nomlilo yinkonzo kanye nokufakaza. UMoya oNgcwele unikeza amandla okukhuluma, nokwenza zonke [imisebenzi] eyenziwa nguJesu Kristu ngenkathi esemhlabeni. UMoya oNgcwele usenza thina [labo abamukele uMoya oNgcwele] ofakazi Bakhe. Siyakwamukela emndenini kaNkulunkulu. Jabulani nijabule.
