Kudziwika kwathu kwenikweni ndi tanthauzo

Masiku ano, nthawi zambiri anthu amaganiza kuti muyenera kudzipangira dzina nokha komanso la ena kuti mukhale ofunika komanso ofunika. Zikuoneka ngati anthu akufufuza mosalekeza kuti adziwe dzina lawo komanso tanthauzo lawo. Koma Yesu anati kale: "Aliyense amene apeza moyo wake adzautaya, ndipo amene ataya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine adzaupeza." (Mt 10, 39)Monga mpingo, taphunzira kuchokera ku choonadi ichi. Kuyambira mu 2009, tadzitcha kuti Grace Communion International, ndipo dzinali limasonyeza umunthu wathu weniweni, womwe uli mwa Yesu osati mwa ife tokha. Tiyeni tiyang'ane bwino dzinali ndikupeza zomwe limayimira.

Chisomo

Chisomo ndi mawu oyamba m'dzina lathu chifukwa amafotokoza bwino ulendo wathu wopita kwa Mulungu mwa Yesu Khristu kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera. "M'malo mwake, timakhulupirira kuti ndi kudzera mu chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu kuti timapulumutsidwa, monga iwonso." (Apg 15, 11)"Timayesedwa olungama kwaulere ndi chisomo chake kudzera mu chiwombolo chomwe chinabwera mwa Khristu Yesu." (Röm 3, 24)Ndi chisomo chokha, Mulungu (kudzera mwa Khristu) amalola kuti tigawane chilungamo chake. Baibulo limatiphunzitsa nthawi zonse kuti uthenga wa chikhulupiriro ndi uthenga wonena za chisomo cha Mulungu (onani Apg 14, 3; 20, 24; 20, 32).

Maziko a ubale wa Mulungu ndi munthu nthawi zonse akhala achisomo ndi chowonadi. Pomwe lamuloli linali chiwonetsero cha izi, chisomo cha Mulungu chomwecho chidakwaniritsidwa kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Ndi chisomo cha Mulungu, tapulumutsidwa kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu yekha, osati posunga lamulo. Lamulo lomwe aliyense akutsutsidwa silili mawu omaliza a Mulungu kwa ife. Mawu ake omaliza kwa ife ndi Yesu. Iye ndiye vumbulutso langwiro ndi laumwini la chisomo cha Mulungu ndi chowonadi choperekedwa kwaulere kwa anthu.
Kutsutsidwa kwathu pansi pa lamuloli ndi kolungama komanso kolungama. Sitimachita zinthu zovomerezeka kuchokera kwa ife tokha, chifukwa Mulungu siamndende a malamulo ake ndi malamulo ake. Mulungu mwa ife amagwira ntchito mwaufulu waumulungu molingana ndi chifuniro chake.

Chifuniro chake chimafotokozedwa ndi chisomo ndi chiwombolo. Mtumwi Paulo analemba izi: “Sindikana chisomo cha Mulungu, pakuti ngati chilungamo chili mwa lamulo, ndiye kuti Khristu anafa pachabe.” (Gal 2, 21)Paulo akufotokoza chisomo cha Mulungu ngati njira yokhayo, yomwe amakana kutaya. Chisomo si chinthu choyezedwa, kuyezedwa, kapena kuganiziridwa kuti achipeze. Chisomo ndi ubwino wa Mulungu, womwe amafunafuna ndikusintha mtima ndi malingaliro a munthu.

M’kalata yake yopita ku mpingo wa ku Roma, Paulo analemba kuti chinthu chokhacho chimene timayesetsa kuchipeza kudzera mu khama lathu ndi malipiro a uchimo, womwe ndi imfa yeniyeniyo. Umenewo ndi uthenga woipa. Koma palinso uthenga wabwino kwambiri, chifukwa “mphatso ya Mulungu ndiyo moyo wosatha mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.” (Röm 6, 24)Yesu ndi chisomo cha Mulungu. Iye ndi chipulumutso cha Mulungu, choperekedwa kwaulere kwa anthu onse.

Mgonero

Chiyanjano ndi mawu achiwiri m'dzina lathu chifukwa timalowa mu ubale weniweni ndi Atate kudzera mwa Mwana mu chiyanjano ndi Mzimu Woyera. Mwa Khristu tili ndi chiyanjano chenicheni ndi Mulungu ndi wina ndi mzake. James Torrance ananena motere: “Mulungu wautatu amalenga anthu m’njira yoti timangokhala anthu enieni pamene tapeza kuti ndife anthu ogwirizana naye komanso anthu ena” (kuchokera ku Worship Community and the Triune God of Grace, p. 74).

Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera ali mu mgwirizano wangwiro, ndipo Yesu anapemphera kuti ophunzira ake agawane ubale umenewu ndikuwuwonetsa padziko lapansi.Joh 14, 20(Yohane 17:23). Mtumwi Yohane akufotokoza chiyanjano ichi ngati maziko olimba a chikondi. Yohane akufotokoza chikondi chakuya ichi ngati chiyanjano chosatha ndi Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera. Ubale weniweni umatanthauza kukhala mu chiyanjano ndi Khristu m'chikondi cha Atate kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera. (1. Joh 4, 8).

Kawirikawiri amati kukhala Mkristu kumakhudza ubale waumwini ndi Yesu. Baibulo limagwiritsa ntchito mafanizo angapo pofotokoza ubalewu. Limodzi limalankhula za ubale wa pakati pa mbuye ndi kapolo wake. Kuchokera apa, ndiye kuti tiyenera kulemekeza ndi kutsatira Ambuye wathu, Yesu Khristu. Yesu anapitiriza kunena kwa otsatira ake kuti: “Sindikutchanso inu akapolo, chifukwa kapolo sadziwa ntchito za mbuye wake. M’malo mwake, ndakutchani inu abwenzi, chifukwa zonse zomwe ndaziphunzira kwa Atate wanga ndakudziwitsani.” (Joh 15, 15)Chithunzi china chikunena za ubale wapakati pa bambo ndi ana ake (Joh 1, 12-13)Yesu amagwiritsanso ntchito chithunzi cha mkwati ndi mkwatibwi wake, chomwe chili kale mu Chipangano Chakale. (Mt 9, 15)...ndipo Paulo akulemba za ubale wa pakati pa mwamuna ndi mkazi (Eph 5)Kalata yopita kwa Ahebri imanenanso kuti ife monga Akristu ndife abale ndi alongo a Yesu. (Hebr 2, 11)Zithunzi zonsezi (kapolo, bwenzi, mwana, mkazi kapena mwamuna, mlongo, m'bale) zimasonyeza lingaliro la ubale wakuya, wabwino, komanso waumwini. Koma zonsezi ndi zithunzi chabe. Mulungu wathu wautatu ndiye gwero ndi chowonadi cha ubalewu ndi chiyanjano ichi. Ndi chiyanjano chomwe amagawana nafe mowolowa manja mu ubwino Wake.

Yesu anapemphera kuti tikhale naye kwamuyaya ndi kusangalala ndi ubwino umenewu. (Joh 17, 24)Mu pemphero ili, anatipempha kuti tikhale m'gulu limodzi ndi Atate. Pamene Yesu anakwera kumwamba, anatitenga ife, abwenzi ake, kuti tikhale paubwenzi ndi Atate ndi Mzimu Woyera. Paulo akunena kuti kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera pali njira yomwe timakhala pambali pa Khristu ndikukhala pamaso pa Atate. (Eph 2, 6)Tikhoza kale kukhala ndi chiyanjano ndi Mulungu, ngakhale kuti ubale wonsewu udzaonekera Khristu akadzabweranso ndikukhazikitsa ufumu wake. Chifukwa chake, chiyanjano ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri la gulu lathu lachipembedzo. Kudziwika kwathu, tsopano ndi kwamuyaya, kumachokera mwa Khristu ndi mu chiyanjano chimene Mulungu amagawana nafe monga Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera.

Zapadziko Lonse (zapadziko lonse)

Mayiko onse ndi liwu lachitatu mdzina lathu chifukwa mpingo wathu ndi wadziko lonse lapansi. Timalalikira kwa anthu pamiyambo, zilankhulo komanso mayiko osiyanasiyana - timafikira anthu padziko lonse lapansi. Ngakhale titakhala kuti ndife gulu laling'ono, pali mipingo m'maiko onse aku America komanso ku Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa ndi zilumba za Pacific. Tili ndi mamembala oposa 50.000 m'maiko oposera 70 omwe apeza nyumba m'mipingo yoposa 900.

Mulungu adatibweretsa pamodzi mgulu lapadziko lonse lapansi. Ndi dalitso kuti ndife akulu okwanira kuti tigwire ntchito limodzi koma ocheperako kuti ntchito yolumikizayi idakhalabe yathu. M'dera lathu, maubwenzi m'malire ndi zikhalidwe zomwe nthawi zambiri zimagawana dziko lathu lapansi masiku ano zimamangidwa ndikukula. Ichi ndithudi ndichizindikiro cha chisomo cha Mulungu!

Monga mpingo, ndikofunikira kwa ife kukhala ndi kugawana uthenga wabwino womwe Mulungu waika m'mitima mwathu. Kuti tidziwe kuchuluka kwa chisomo cha Mulungu ndi chikondi chathu pa ife tokha zimatilimbikitsa kuti tiziuza anthu ena uthenga wabwino. Tikufuna kuti anthu ena athe kukhala ndi ubale ndi Yesu Khristu ndikukhala ndi chimwemwe ichi. Sitingasunge uthenga wabwino kukhala chinsinsi chifukwa tikufuna kuti anthu onse padziko lapansi adziwe chisomo cha Mulungu ndikukhala mgonero. Uwu ndi uthenga womwe Mulungu watipatsa kuti tigawane ndi dziko lapansi.
