NgokukaJohane 3:16, “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” Umuntu ngesono wazihlukanisa noNkulunkulu kusukela ku-Adamu no-Eva: kodwa uNkulunkulu kusukela lapho wabeka izinhlelo zokubuyisana nomuntu abuyele kuye. Icebo lalidinga uthando ukuze luphumelele. Njengoba kubhalwe ngumfowethu uNeal Frisby entshumayelweni ethi 'Ubungunaphakade-2' uthe, “Ukukhombisa umuntu ukuthi ubathanda kangakanani, uNkulunkulu unqume ukwehlela emhlabeni njengomunye wethu, wabanikeza impilo yakhe. Impela ungunaphakade. Ngakho-ke, weza wanikela ngempilo yakhe (ebuntwini bukaJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu ethatha isimo somuntu) ngalokho ayecabanga ukuthi kuyigugu (wonke amakholwa eqiniso) noma wayengeke akwenze lokho. Ukhombise uthando lwakhe lwaphezulu. ”

Izwi likaNkulunkulu ku-2^nd UPetru 3: 9 uthi, “INkosi ayilibali ngezithembiso zayo, njengalokhu abanye bethi ayilibali; kodwa iyangibekezelela, ingathandi ukuthi kubhubhe namunye, kodwa ukuthi bonke baphenduke. ” Lolu kusewuthando lukaNkulunkulu lokuthi abantu abaningi basindiswe. Insindiso inebizo kuyo. Okuwukuphela komthombo wensindiso nguJesu Kristu. “Futhi lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade, ukuthi bakwazi wena, owukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso, noJesu Kristu omthumileyo (Johane 17: 3).” Lokhu kucaciswa nguMarko 16:16, “Okholwayo abhapathizwe uyakusindiswa; kepha ongakholwayo uzolahlwa. ” Futhi lokhu kukhomba kulokho uJesu akutshela uNikodemu kuJohane 3: 3, “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe, uma umuntu engazalwa ngokusha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.” Kufanele ubuyisane noNkulunkulu, ngokwazi ukuthi uyisoni; yamukela isipho nothando lukaNkulunkulu owafika wafa endaweni yakho esiphambanweni seKalvari, futhi ummemele empilweni yakho njengoMsindisi neNkosi yakho. Leyo insindiso. Ingabe uzelwe kabusha?

Insindiso ingukubonakaliswa kwalokhu uNkulunkulu akufake ngaphakathi kuwe ngokunqunyelwa kusengaphambili, kukhombisa ithemba lakho ezwini likaNkulunkulu ngenkathi ushunyayelwa ngumuntu othile; ngqo noma ngokungaqondile. Leli themba ezwini likaNkulunkulu likhiqiza ukubekezela noma ngabe uphila isikhathi esingakanani kulomhlaba, kuze kube sekufeni njengabafowethu kumaHeberu 11. Insindiso ibonakala ngothando lukaNkulunkulu njengakuRom. 8:28. Le nsindiso emangalisayo iyabonakala ngokuthi ubiziwe; futhi nangenhloso kaNkulunkulu.

Awukwazi ukusindiswa futhi ukuveze, ngaphandle kokuthi ubizwe nguNkulunkulu uBaba. Futhi ukuze iNkosi ikubize ukuze ubonise insindiso kufanele ngabe yakwazi ngaphambili (selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba). Ukuze uNkulunkulu akwazi kusengaphambili ngensindiso, kufanele ngabe ukunqume ngaphambili kwasekuqaleni. Ukumiselwa ngaphambili endabeni yensindiso ukukwenza uvumelane nomfanekiso weNdodana yakhe ngokuzalwa okusha; futhi uba yisidalwa esisha, izinto ezindala ziyedlula futhi zonke izinto ziba zintsha. Futhi ngokweRom. 13:11, ekusindisweni ugqoka iNkosi uJesu Kristu futhi awunikezi ithuba lokuba inyama igcwalise inkanuko yayo. Lokho ukwenza isono, imvelo endala osindiswe kuyo. Ubuthakathaka bengqondo yemvelo kuvame ukukuvimbela ukuthi ubone isithombe sangempela seNdodana kaNkulunkulu kuwe. UPaul wathi kwabaseRoma 7: 14-25, lapho ngifuna ukwenza okubi okuhle emzimbeni wami kungena endleleni.

Uma ubiziwe futhi waphendula, kungenxa yokuthi zonke izinto zisebenza ngokubambisana kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu. Impendulo yakho ocingweni ikhombisa ukuthi uthando lukaNkulunkulu lukuwe ndawo lapho uNkulunkulu alifihle khona. Konke lokhu kuzosenza sivumelane nomfanekiso weNdodana yakhe, uJesu Kristu. Lokhu kubizwa kukuholela ekulungisisweni, ngalokho uJesu akwenza esiphambanweni saseCalvary nangale kwalokho. Ukhombisa ithemba lakho kulo ngokwamukela ucingo olungisiswa. Uyadunyiswa lapho ulungisiswa: ulungisisiwe ngoba ukhululiwe kuzo zonke izono ngokugezwa kwegazi likaJesu Kristu. U-Col, 1: 13-15 uthi, “Owasikhulula emandleni obumnyama, wasidlulisela embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo; Esinokuhlengwa kuye ngegazi lakhe, nokuthethelelwa kwezono umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali, izibulo lazo zonke izidalwa. ” Manje sesingumfanekiso weNdodana yakhe, silindele ukubonakaliswa okugcwele, futhi sonke isidalwa siyabubula ukubona lokhu kugcwala (Rom. 8:19 ngoba ukulindelwa kwendalo kulindele ukubonakaliswa kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu). Ingabe uyingxenye yalawa madodana kaNkulunkulu noma usaboshwe ebumnyameni. Isikhathi sifushane futhi maduzane sizobe sesishiywe yisikhathi ukuthi siguqulwe kusuka ebumnyameni singene ekukhanyeni; futhi nguJesu Kristu kuphela ongayenzela inhliziyo ephendukayo. Umi kuphi ngalesi sinqumo?  UJesu kuMark 9:40 wathi, "Ngoba ongamelene nathi ungakithi." Ingabe unoJesu njengokukhanya noma ingabe unosathane njengobumnyama. Izulu nechibi lomlilo zingokoqobo futhi kufanele wenze umqondo wakho ukuthi ulibangisephi; isikhathi siyaphela umnyango uzovalwa maduze futhi awukwazi ukuma phakathi kwemibono emibili. Uma uJesu Kristu kunguye omdingayo mlandele kodwa uma usathane kuyinjabulo yakho bese udansa kumculo wakhe.

UJesu ungumfanekiso wangempela futhi sifana nesithunzi somfanekiso wakhe; sihlukaniseka. Kungakho amaRom. U-8: 35 ubuze umbuzo omkhulu, "Ngubani ozosihlukanisa nothando lukaKristu?" Funda Rom. 8 ngomkhuleko: Futhi ekuphenduleni umbuzo wokugcina, uPawule wathi, “Ngoba ngikholwa ukuthi, nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, namandla, nakho okukhona, nakho okuzayo, nokuphakama, nokujula, esinye isidalwa, sizokwazi ukusihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. ” Isinqumo ngesakho MANJE, sokuzalwa kabusha futhi ube noJesu Kristu noma uhlale esonweni futhi uthembeke kusathane futhi ubhubhe echibini lomlilo. Leli yithuba lakho, namuhla wusuku lwensindiso futhi leli yihora lokuvakashelwa kwakho, ngemuva kokuba uthole futhi usufundile leli pheshana elincane; noma yisiphi isinqumo osithathayo, kuzofanele ushiye naso. UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu wothando nesihe; kanjalo futhi unguNkulunkulu wokulunga nokwahlulela. UNkulunkulu uzokwahlulela futhi ajezise isono. Kungani uzofela esonweni sakho, Phenduka, Uguquke? Uma ungazalwa ngokusha bese ulahlekile.
