Kodi timalalikira chisomo chotchipa?

Mwina munamvapo akunenedwa kuti chisomo chilibe malire kapena kuti chili ndi zofunika. Aliyense amene amatsindika za chikondi ndi chikhululukiro cha Mulungu nthawi zina amakumana ndi anthu omwe amawatsutsa kuti akufuna kuchirikiza zomwe amachitcha chisomo chotsika mtengo. Izi ndi zomwe zidachitikira mnzanga wapamtima komanso m'busa wa GCI, Tim Brassel. Iye anaimbidwa mlandu wolalikira “chisomo chotsika mtengo.” Ndimakonda mmene anachitira zimenezi. Yankho lake linali: Ayi, sindilalikira chisomo chotsika mtengo, koma chabwino koposa: chisomo chaulere!

Mawu akuti chisomo chotsika mtengo amachokera kwa katswiri wa maphunziro a zaumulungu Dietrich Bonhoeffer, amene anawagwiritsa ntchito m’buku lake lakuti “Discipleship” ndipo motero analipangitsa kukhala lotchuka. Analigwiritsa ntchito potsindika kuti munthu amaona chisomo cha Mulungu akalapa ndi kukhala ndi moyo watsopano mwa Khristu. Koma popanda moyo wa uphuphunzi, chidzalo cha Mulungu sichimafika kwa iye – munthuyo amangopeza chisomo chotsika mtengo.

Mkangano wa Chipulumutso cha Ambuye

Kodi chipulumutso chimafunanso kuvomereza Yesu kapena kukhala wophunzira? Tsoka ilo, chiphunzitso cha Bonhoeffer cha chisomo (kuphatikiza kugwiritsa ntchito mawu oti chisomo chotsika mtengo) ndi kukambirana kwake za chipulumutso ndi kukhala ophunzira nthawi zambiri sikunamvetsetsedwe komanso kugwiritsidwa ntchito molakwika. Izi zikugwirizana makamaka ndi mkangano womwe watenga zaka zambiri womwe ukudziwika kuti Lordship Salvation Controversy.

Mmodzi wa anthu amene anatsogolera mkangano umenewu, wodziwika bwino wa mfundo zisanu wa Calvinist, amanena mosalekeza kuti iwo amene amanena kuti kudzinenera kwaumwini kwa chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu yekha n'kofunika kuti apulumuke ali ndi mlandu wolimbikitsa "chisomo chotsika mtengo." Akunena kuti kudzinenera za chikhulupiriro (kuvomereza Yesu monga Mpulumutsi) ndi kuchita ntchito zina zabwino (momvera Yesu monga Ambuye) n’kofunika kuti munthu apulumuke.

Mbali zonse ziwiri zili ndi mfundo zabwino pa mtsutso uwu. Ndikukhulupirira kuti pali zolakwika pamalingaliro a mbali zonse ziwiri zomwe zikanapewedwa. Choyamba, zimadalira pa unansi wa Yesu ndi Atate osati mmene ife anthu timakhalira ndi Mulungu. Pamfundo imeneyi, n’zoonekeratu kuti Yesu ndi Ambuye ndiponso Mpulumutsi. Mbali zonse ziwiri zingaone ngati mphatso ya chisomo kuti tiyenera kutsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera kuti tikhale okhudzidwa kwambiri mu ubale wa Yesu ndi Atate.

Popeza maganizo amenewa akuyang'ana pa Khristu ndi Utatu, mbali zonse ziwiri sizingaone ntchito zabwino ngati chinthu chomwe munthu amapeza chipulumutso (kapena ngati chinthu chosafunikira), koma ngati chinthu chomwe tinalengedwa kuti tiyende mwa Khristu. (Eph 2,10)Angazindikirenso kuti timapulumutsidwa popanda chifukwa chilichonse osati chifukwa cha ntchito zathu (kuphatikizapo chikhulupiriro chathu), koma kudzera mu ntchito ndi chikhulupiriro cha Yesu, chomwe chinawomboledwa m'malo mwathu. (Eph 2,8-9; Gal 2,20)Kenako angaganize kuti palibe chomwe munthu angachite kuti apulumuke, kaya mwa kuwonjezerapo kapena mwa kugwiritsitsa. Mlaliki wamkulu Charles Spurgeon anati: "Ngati titaboola ngakhale dzenje laling'ono kwambiri pa chovala cha chipulumutso chathu, tingachiwononge kotheratu."

Ntchito ya Yesu imatipatsa chisomo chake chonse

Monga tafotokozera poyamba munkhani za chisomo, tiyenera kudalira ntchito ya Yesu (chikhulupiriro chake) koposa zochita zathu.” Sizichepetsa mtengo wa Uthenga Wabwino pamene tiphunzitsa kuti chipulumutso sichidzera mwa ntchito zathu koma chokha chimene chimachitika ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu. chisomo. Karl Barth analemba kuti: “Palibe amene angapulumutsidwe ndi zochita zake, koma aliyense angapulumutsidwe ndi zochita za Mulungu.”

Malemba amatiphunzitsa kuti aliyense wokhulupirira mwa Yesu “ali ndi moyo wosatha” (Joh 3,16; 36; 5,24) ndi “adzapulumutsidwa” (Röm 10,9)Pali mavesi omwe amatilimbikitsa kutsatira Yesu mwa kukhala moyo wathu watsopano mwa Iye. Kuyesa kulikonse kuyandikira kwa Mulungu ndi kulandira chisomo chake chomwe chimalekanitsa Yesu monga Mpulumutsi ndi Yesu monga Ambuye ndikolakwika. Yesu ndi weniweni wosagawanika konse, Mpulumutsi ndi Ambuye. Monga Mpulumutsi, iye ndi Ambuye, ndipo monga Ambuye, iye ndi Mpulumutsi. Kuyesa kugawa choonadi ichi m'magulu awiri sikuthandiza kapena kothandiza. Kuchita izi kumapanga Chikhristu chomwe chimagawikana m'magulu awiri ndipo chimayesa mamembala ake kuti aweruze yemwe ali Mkristu ndi yemwe si Mkristu. Kuphatikiza apo, nthawi zambiri chimasiyanitsa "ine ndine ndani" ndi "ndichita chiyani?"

Kulekanitsa Yesu ndi ntchito yake yowombola kumadalira pa lingaliro lachipulumutso (lomwe limapindula ndi onse) lomwe limasiyanitsa kulungamitsidwa ndi kuyeretsedwa. Komabe, chipulumutso, chomwe chimachokera kwathunthu pa chisomo, chimakhudza ubale ndi Mulungu womwe umatsogolera ku moyo watsopano. Chisomo chopulumutsa cha Mulungu chimatipatsa kulungamitsidwa ndi kuyeretsedwa kudzera mwa Yesu mwiniwake, kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera, kukhala kulungamitsidwa ndi kuyeretsedwa kwathu. (1. Kor 1,30).

Mpulumutsi mwiniwake ndiye mphatso. Tikagwirizana ndi Yesu kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera, timagawana zonse zomwe zili zake. Chipangano Chatsopano chimafupikitsa izi potitcha "cholengedwa chatsopano" mwa Khristu. (2. Kor 5,17)Palibe chomwe chingawonetse chisomo ichi ngati chotsika mtengo, chifukwa palibe chotsika mtengo, kaya chokhudzana ndi Yesu kapena moyo womwe timagawana naye. Chowonadi ndi chakuti ubale ndi iye umabweretsa kulapa, kusiya umunthu wakale ndikulowa mu moyo watsopano. Mulungu wachikondi amafuna ungwiro wa omwe amawakonda ndipo wakonza izi moyenerera mwa Yesu. Chikondi ndi changwiro; apo ayi, sichikanakhala chikondi. Calvin ankakonda kunena kuti, "Chipulumutso chathu chonse chimakwaniritsidwa mwa Khristu."

Kusamvetsetsa kwa chisomo ndi ntchito

Pamene kuli kwakuti cholinga chili pa mtundu woyenerera wa unansi ndi kumvetsetsa, ndi pa kuchita ntchito zabwino, pali ena amene molakwa amakhulupirira kuti kutengamo mbali kosalekeza kupyolera mu ntchito zabwino nkofunika kuti titsimikizire chipulumutso chathu. Nkhawa yawo ndi yakuti kuyang'ana pa chisomo cha Mulungu kupyolera mu chikhulupiriro chokha ndi chiphatso cha kuchimwa (mutu womwe ndinaufotokoza mu Gawo 2). Kusalingalira bwino pa lingaliro ili ndikuti chisomo sichimangonyalanyaza zotsatira za uchimo. Lingaliro lolakwika ili limalekanitsanso chisomo kwa Yesu mwiniwake, ngati kuti chisomo ndi nkhani ya kusinthanitsa (kusinthanitsa) komwe kungagawidwe kukhala zochita za munthu aliyense popanda kukhudza Khristu. Kunena zowona, kumayang'ana kwambiri ntchito zabwino kotero kuti munthu sakhulupiriranso kuti Yesu adachita chilichonse chofunikira kuti atipulumutse. Amanenedwa zabodza kuti Yesu anangoyambitsa ntchito ya chipulumutso chathu ndipo zili kwa ife kuitsimikizira mwanjira inayake kudzera m’makhalidwe athu.

Akristu omwe alandira chisomo cha Mulungu chaulere sakhulupirira kuti izi zimawapatsa chilolezo chochimwa—m'malo mwake. Paulo anaimbidwa mlandu wolalikira mopitirira muyeso za chisomo, kuti “uchimo uchuluke.” Komabe, mlanduwu sunamupangitse kusintha uthenga wake. M'malo mwake, anaimba mlandu womuneneza kuti wasokoneza uthenga wake ndipo anagwira ntchito molimbika kuti afotokoze kuti chisomo sichinali chosiyana ndi malamulo. Paulo analemba kuti cholinga cha utumiki wake chinali kukhazikitsa “kumvera kwa chikhulupiriro” (Röm 1,5; 16,26).

Chipulumutso ndi chotheka kupyolera mu chisomo chokha: ndi ntchito ya Khristu kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto

Timayamikira kwambiri Mulungu chifukwa chotumiza Mwana wake mu mphamvu ya mzimu woyera kuti atipulumutse, osati kuti atiweruze. Timamvetsetsa kuti palibe chopereka ku ntchito zabwino chomwe chingatipangitse kukhala olungama kapena oyera; ngati ndi choncho, sitingafune Mpulumutsi. Kaya chigogomezero chiri pa kumvera mwa chikhulupiriro kapena chikhulupiriro ndi kumvera, tisamapeputse kudalira kwathu pa Yesu amene ndi Mpulumutsi wathu. Iye waweruza ndi kutsutsa machimo onse ndipo watikhululukira kwamuyaya – mphatso yomwe timalandira tikakhulupilira ndi kumukhulupirira.

Ndi chikhulupiriro cha Yesu mwini ndi ntchito yake—kukhulupirika kwake—zomwe zimatibweretsera chipulumutso kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto. Iye amapereka chilungamo chake (kulungamitsidwa kwathu), ndipo kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera, amatipatsa gawo mu moyo wake woyera (kuyeretsedwa kwathu). Timalandira mphatso ziwirizi mwanjira imodzi: poika chikhulupiriro chathu mwa Yesu. Mzimu Woyera umatithandiza kumvetsetsa zomwe Khristu watichitira ndikukhala motsatira. Chikhulupiriro chathu chimayang'ana ku (monga momwe chimanenera mu Phil 1,6 amatanthauza) “Iye amene anayamba ntchito yabwino mwa inu adzatsirizanso”. Ngati munthu alibe gawo mu zomwe Yesu amagwira mwa iye, ndiye kuti chivomerezo cha chikhulupiriro chake chilibe mphamvu. M’malo molandira chisomo cha Mulungu, amachitsutsa podzinenera. Ndithudi, timafuna kupeŵa cholakwa chimenechi, monganso mmene sitiyenera kugwera m’malingaliro olakwika akuti ntchito zathu zimathandizira m’njira inayake ku chipulumutso chathu.
