Kwenzekeni ngeqiniso
Okushodayo ezweni neningi lezwe lezenkolo namuhla yizwi leqiniso. Iningi labaholi bezwe nabezenkolo banamuhla bonke baqamba amanga kubantu, kungaba ongqongqoshe, odokotela, ososayensi, amasosha, abomthetho, ochwepheshe bezezimali, abamabhange, amaqembu omshwalense, othisha, osopolitiki nokunye okuningi. Amanga abonakala ekhanga ngoba ngokuvamile agcwele ukukhohlisa futhi angaba bukhazikhazi. Amanga aqhamuka ngezindlela ezihlukene, njengokuqamba amanga, ukuqamba amanga, ukuqamba amanga, amanga ehaba, amanga okwehlisa nokunye okuningi. Abantu baqamba amanga ngezizathu ezimbalwa, kodwa ikakhulukazi ukuze balawule, babe nethonya kanye nokulawula; ikakhulukazi abaqamba amanga. Kosopolitiki ukuqamba amanga kuyingxenye yokudla kwabo, akwamukelekile, kodwa kuyaqondakala, ngoba ipolitiki ayinakho ukuziphatha. Kodwa okudabukisa kakhulu indawo, izinga nokwamukelwa kokuqamba amanga emibuthanweni yezenkolo futhi okudabukisa nakakhulu phakathi kwalabo abathi bangamaKristu. Isizathu sakho konke lokhu kungenxa yokuthi, kukhona okwenzekile ngeqiniso empilweni yabo yomuntu siqu kanye neqoqo. Okuphambene neqiniso kungamanga. Kwabangasindisiwe, abazi kangcono; sasinjalo endulo kwaze kwafika uJesu Kristu empilweni yethu. Kodwa kulowo osezwile iqiniso futhi wathengisa, kuyadabukisa. Noma nini lapho uthengisa iqiniso, ukhaphela uJesu Kristu futhi ngendlela.
Liyini iqiniso? Iqiniso lihlale libhekwa njengeliphambene namanga. Iqiniso empeleni liyiqiniso eliqinisekisiwe noma elingephikiswe. Iqiniso libalulekile kubantu ngabanye nasemphakathini. Njengabantu ngabanye, ukuba neqiniso kusho ukuthi singakhula futhi sivuthwe, sifunde emaphutheni ethu. Futhi emphakathini, ukuba neqiniso kwenza izibopho zomphakathi, futhi ukuqamba amanga kuyabephula. Iqiniso kumKristu liwukubonakaliswa kukaKristu kuwe. Lapho wena njengomKristu uqamba amanga, iXhego liyavuka futhi; futhi uma uqhubeka nokujabulisa imvelo yakho endala, ngokushesha uzowa okholweni; ngoba ngeke kube khona indawo yeqiniso kuwe.
UJesu wathi, kuJohane 8:32, “Niyakulazi iqiniso, neqiniso liyakunikhulula.” Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, yilowo nalowo owonayo uyisigqila sesono, (niyizigqila zikaSathane, ngaphandle uma niphenduka futhi nibize uJehova),” (ivesi 34). Futhi evesini 36, uJesu wathi, “Ngakho-ke uma iNdodana inikhulula, niyoba ngabakhululekile ngempela. Abaholi abangamaKristu, kuhlanganise abaphostoli, abaprofethi, abaphrofethikazi, abavangeli, ababhishobhi, abefundisi, ababonisi abavamile, izinduna, abadala namadikoni, abesifazane abadala namalungu ekhwaya, bese kuba yibandla; zonke zihamba kuzo zonke lezi. Bonke abafuna ukukhululeka ngempela futhi bahlale bekhululekile kumelwe bahlale eqinisweni. Kodwa ngeshwa abaningi abasezikhundleni zeziphathimandla zebandla bakuthola kunzima ukuhlala eqinisweni. Ukuqamba amanga sekuyingxenye yabaningi. Abasenazwelo futhi abalamukeli iqiniso (uJesu Kristu iNkosi, iZwi). Abaningi balaba baholi baye bagcoba amalungu abo ngamanga anjalo; ukuthi manje bakholwa amanga. Kwenzekani ngeqiniso empilweni yakho, yiliphi iphutha olithola kuJesu Kristu noma ezwini lakhe? KuJohane 14:6, uJesu wathi, “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila.” UJesu Kristu uyiqiniso.
Abaholi abaningi abangamaKristu, abaphethe iBhayibheli; noma kunalokho amabhayibheli abo athwalwa abathwali, baye bathengisa iqiniso ngokuthula phambi kwamanga noma ukubekezelela noma ukuqhubekisela phambili. Futhi ungazi ukuthi bathengise iqiniso. Isifundo 1 Thim. 3:1-13, uma uthembekile kuwena nakuNkulunkulu, uyakuvula amehlo akho ubone iqiniso levangeli elingakukhulula. Uyabuza, aphi amadikoni kula mabandla? Ngeshwa, amaningi ala mabandla aqoka amadikoni ngokusekelwe ekukhetheni komfundisi, izinga lomnikelo, uphawu lwesimo, izinga lezomnotho, amalungu omndeni, abasekhweni nokunye; futhi hhayi ngokwemibhalo. Amadikoni ezikhathini eziningi, awaboni noma akhulume ngamanga noma ukukhohlisa noma amaphutha ebandleni. Lokhu kungenxa yezinzuzo zomuntu siqu kanye nokusatshiswa. Abanye bathule ngenxa yobubi ababaziyo noma abahlanganyele kubo, ebandleni. Amadikoni akufanele abe nezilimi ezimbili, kodwa akuyo yonke indawo phakathi kwamadikoni amaningi. Kufanele babambe imfihlakalo yokukholwa (kuhlanganise neqiniso) ngonembeza omsulwa. Kodwa kulukhuni ukutholakala (kodwa ukwahlulela kuyoqala endlini kaNkulunkulu) kulezi zinsuku. Ngaphambi kokuba idikoni likhethwe kufanele liqale lihlolwe, kodwa ubani owenza lokho namuhla, (bayakhohlwa ukuthi ukwahlulela kuyoqala endlini kaNkulunkulu). 1 Thim. 3:13, ithi, “Ngokuba abakhonze kahle umsebenzi wobudikoni bazithengela izinga elihle, nesibindi esikhulu ekukholweni okukuKristu.”
Ingabe uNkulunkulu angalisiza ibandla ukuba libuyele esimeni seBhayibheli ngaphambi kokuba ukwahlulela kushube? Ithemba lebandla lingase libe phezu kwabadikoni noma abadala abathembekile eqinisweni, (uJesu Kristu). Siphi isibindi ekukholweni kwalaba bantu? Kungani abaningi benezilimi ezimbili? Kufanele babambe imfihlakalo yokukholwa, ingabe ihlanganisa amanga nokumboza abaholi bamanga? (USathane unguyise wamanga). UJohane 8:44 uthi, “Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane, nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo. Yena wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni, akemi eqinisweni, ngokuba iqiniso lingekho kuye. Nxa ekhuluma amanga, ukhuluma okungokwakhe, ngokuba ungumqambimanga, noyise wawo. Ivesi 47 lithi, “Lowo ongokaNkulunkulu uyawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu; ngalokho aniwezwa, ngokuba aningabakaNkulunkulu.” Kwenzekeni ngeqiniso? Amadoda kaNkulunkulu okufanele ahole abantu athengise iqiniso futhi agwinya amanga kasathane. Badlise abaningi ngalamanga ngamazwi nangezenzo. Khumbula, 1 Petru 4:17, “Ngokuba sesifikile isikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?
IzAga 23:23 zithi: “Thenga iqiniso, ungathengisi ngalo: nokuhlakanipha, nokulaywa, nokuqonda.” Lapho uphika, ukhohlisa noma uhlanekezela ngamabomu noma iyiphi ingxenye yezwi likaNkulunkulu, uqamba amanga, futhi uthengisa iqiniso: bathengisa uKristu noma bayamkhaphela ngokungaqondile. Ukuphenduka manje ukuphela kwesixazululo. Abaningi bathengise iqiniso futhi bahlehliswa: kodwa uJesu Kristu ngesihe sakhe, wenza esinye isicelo ebandleni lanamuhla, iLawodikeya. KusAmb. 3:18, wathi, “Ngiyakululeka ukuba uthenge kimi igolide elicwengiweyo ngomlilo, (ubuhle noma isimilo sikaJesu Kristu esilingwayo), ukuze ucebe, (hhayi ngamanga, ngobuqili, nangenkohliso); nezingubo ezimhlophe, (insindiso yeqiniso, ukulunga kuKristu) ukuze wembathe, nehlazo, (elikhona ezindaweni zonke emabandleni amaningi) lingabonakali ubunqunu bakho; nomuthi wamehlo, (umbono oqondile noyiqiniso nokubona kusengaphambili kukaMoya oNgcwele) ukuze nibone.”
Ingabe noma ubani ongalahlwanga angaphika ngokukaJohane 16:13, “Kepha, lapho esefikile yena, uMoya weqiniso, uzoniholela kulo lonke iqiniso (okwenzeke ngeqiniso kini) uzoniholela kulo lonke iqiniso. .” Ngokushesha ukwahlulela kuzoqala endlini kaNkulunkulu. Kwenzekeni ngeqiniso? Ubumnyama buligubuzele ibandla ngoba badayise iqiniso bathanda amanga. Phenduka O! Baholi bebandla nani madikoni ngaphambi kokuba kuphuze kakhulu. Uma ungalitholi iqiniso kubaholi bebandla lakho, sekuyisikhathi sokufuna uNkulunkulu ukuze akukhulule futhi akuqondise endaweni yokukhulekela yeqiniso, futhi ungawuthwali umthwalo webandla omdala. Okwenzekile ngeqiniso; nakuwe na? Nkosi yihawukele. Sekuhlwile, phenduka O! Isonto.
