Roman 10,1-15: Nkhani yabwino kwa aliyense
Paulo analemba m’buku la Aroma kuti: “Abale anga okondedwa, chimene ndimapempherera Aisiraeli ndi mtima wonse ndi kuwapempherera ndi kuti apulumuke.” 10,1 NDI).
Koma panali vuto: “Pakuti sasowa changu pa ntchito ya Mulungu; Ndikhoza kutsimikizira zimenezo. Chomwe akusowa ndi chidziwitso cholondola. Sanaone chimene chilungamo cha Mulungu chili ndipo akuyesera kuyimirira pamaso pa Mulungu kudzera mu chilungamo chawo. Pochita zimenezi, amapandukira chilungamo cha Mulungu m’malo mogonja.” ( Aroma 10,2-3 NKHA).
Aisraeli Paulo ankadziwa kuti amafuna kulungamitsidwa pamaso pa Mulungu ndi ntchito zawo (posunga malamulo).
“Pakuti chitsiriziro cha chilamulo chafika ndi Khristu: yense wakukhulupirira Iye ayesedwa wolungama. Njira ya chilungamo ndi yofanana kwa Ayuda ndi a mitundu ina.” ( Aroma 10,4 NDI). Simungathe kukwaniritsa chilungamo cha Mulungu podzikonza nokha. Mulungu amakupatsani chilungamo.
Tonse takhala pansi pa malamulo nthawi zina. Ndili mnyamata ndinkatsatira malamulo a mayi anga. Limodzi la malamulo ake linali loti nditasewera pabwalo, ndivule nsapato ndisanalowe m’nyumbamo. Ndinayenera kuyeretsa nsapato zodetsedwa kwambiri ndi madzi pakhonde.
Yesu anayeretsa dothi
Mulungu sali wosiyana. Iye safuna kuti chidetso cha machimo athu chitsanulire nyumba yake yonse. Vuto ndiloti tilibe njira yodziyeretsera ndipo sitingathe kulowamo mpaka titayeretsedwa. Mulungu amalowetsamo okhawo amene ali oyera, opanda uchimo ndi angwiro m’malo ake okhalamo. Palibe amene angapeze chiyero chimenechi mwa iye yekha.
Ndicho chifukwa chake Yesu anayenera kutuluka m’nyumba mwake kudzatiyeretsa ife. Iye yekha ndi amene akanatiyeretsa. Ngati muli otanganidwa kuchotsa dothi lanu, kudziyeretsa mpaka doomsday sikungakwane kulowa mnyumba. Komabe, ngati mumakhulupirira zimene Yesu akunena, chifukwa anakuyeretsani kale, mukhoza kulowa m’nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kukhala patebulo lake kuti mudye.
Aroma 5 vesi 15-10 ikunena za mfundo iyi: N’kosatheka kudziwa Mulungu mpaka uchimo utachotsedwa. Kudziwa Mulungu sikungachotse machimo athu.
Pa nthawi imeneyi mu Aroma 10,5^ ndime 8 akulemba mawu a Paulo 5. Genesis 30,11:12, “Usanene mumtima mwako, Adzakwera ndani Kumwamba? - monga ngati wina akufuna kutsitsa Khristu kuchokera kumeneko". Akuti monga anthu tingathe kufunafuna ndi kupeza Mulungu. Koma zoona zake n’zakuti, Mulungu amabwera kwa ife n’kutipeza.
Mau amuyaya a Mulungu anadza kwa ife monga Mulungu ndi munthu, monga Mwana wa Mulungu, Yesu Khristu wa thupi ndi mwazi. Sitinamupeze kumwamba. Iye anasankha muufulu wake waumulungu kutsika kwa ife. Yesu anatipulumutsa ife anthu mwa kutsuka zonyansa zauchimo ndi kutitsegulira njira yolowa m’nyumba ya Mulungu.
Izi zimabweretsa funso lakuti: Kodi mumakhulupirira zimene Mulungu amanena? Kodi mumakhulupirira kuti Yesu anakupezani ndipo anakutsukani kale zonyansa zanu kuti mulowe m’nyumba mwake tsopano? Ngati simukhulupirira, muli kunja kwa nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo simungathe kulowamo.
Paulo akulankhula ku Aroma 10,9-13 NGÜ: “Chotero ngati udzabvomereza m’kamwa mwako kuti Yesu ndiye Ambuye, ndi kukhulupirira mumtima mwako kuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa, udzapulumuka. Pakuti wina ayesedwa wolungama pamene akhulupirira ndi mtima; munthu amapulumutsidwa mwa kuvomereza “chikhulupiriro” ndi pakamwa. N’chifukwa chake Malemba amati: “Aliyense wokhulupirira mwa iye adzapulumuka ku chiwonongeko.” ( Yesaya 2 Kor.8,16). Palibe kusiyana kulikonse ngati munthu ndi Myuda kapena wosakhala Myuda: aliyense ali ndi Ambuye yemweyo, ndipo amagawana chuma chake ndi aliyense amene amamuitana “m’pemphero”. “Aliyense woitana pa dzina la Yehova adzapulumuka.” (Yow 3,5).
Izi ndi zoona: Mulungu anawombola chilengedwe chake kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Anatsuka machimo athu ndi kutiyeretsa kudzera mu nsembe yake popanda thandizo kapena pempho lathu. Pamene tikhulupilira mwa Yesu ndi kuvomereza kuti Iye ndi Ambuye, timakhala kale mu zenizeni zimenezo.
chitsanzo cha ukapolo
Am 1. Mu Januwale 1863, Purezidenti Abraham Lincoln adasaina Chilengezo cha Emancipation. Lamulo lalikululi lati akapolo onse m'maiko onse opandukira boma la US tsopano ali mfulu. Nkhani za ufulu umenewu sizinafike kwa akapolo a Galveston, Texas mpaka June 19, 1865. Kwa zaka ziwiri ndi theka, akapolowa sankadziwa za ufulu wawo ndipo adangowona zenizeni pamene asilikali a US Army anawauza.
Yesu ndiye Mpulumutsi wathu
Kuvomereza kwathu sikumatipulumutsa, koma Yesu ndiye Mpulumutsi wathu. Sitingakakamize Mulungu kutichitira chilichonse. Ntchito zathu zabwino sizingatipangitse kukhala opanda uchimo. Zilibe kanthu kuti ndi ntchito yanji. Kaya ndikumvera lamulo - monga kusunga tsiku lopatulika kapena kupewa mowa - kapena ngati ndi ntchito yoti, "Ndikukhulupirira." Paulo ananena mosapita m’mbali kuti: “Komanso mwapulumutsidwa ndi chisomo cha Mulungu, ndipo chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro. Kotero inu mulibe ngongole ya chipulumutso chanu kwa inu nokha; ayi, ndi mphatso ya Mulungu.” (Aef 2,8 NDI). Ngakhale chikhulupiriro ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu!
Mulungu sayembekezera kuvomereza
Ndizothandiza kumvetsetsa kusiyana pakati pa mgwirizano ndi kuulula. Mgwirizano ndi mgwirizano walamulo womwe kusinthana kumachitika. Gulu lililonse liyenera kusinthanitsa china chake ndi china. Ngati tili ndi mgwirizano ndi Mulungu, ndiye kuti kudzipereka kwathu kwa Yesu kumatipereka ku chipulumutso. Koma sitingakakamize Mulungu kutichitira zinthu. Chisomo ndi Khristu kusankha muufulu wake waumulungu kutsika kwa ife.
M’khoti lotseguka, mwa kuulula, munthu amavomereza kuti zenizeni zilipo. Wachigawenga anganene kuti, “Ndikuvomereza kuti ndinaba katunduyo. Iye anavomereza zenizeni za moyo wake. Mofananamo, wotsatira wa Yesu ananena kuti: “Ndikuvomereza kuti ndiyenera kupulumutsidwa kapena Yesu anandipulumutsa.
kuitanidwa ku ufulu
Zomwe akapolo ankafunikira ku Texas mu 1865 sizinali mgwirizano wogula ufulu wawo. Anayenera kudziwa ndi kuvomereza kuti anali omasuka kale. Ufulu wawo unali utakhazikitsidwa kale. Purezidenti Lincoln adatha kuwamasula, ndipo adawamasula ndi lamulo. Mulungu anali ndi ufulu wotipulumutsa ndipo anatipulumutsa kudzera mu moyo wa mwana wake. Chimene akapolo a ku Texas ankafunikira chinali kumva za ufulu wawo, kukhulupirira kuti zinali choncho, ndi kukhala mogwirizana. Akapolo amafuna wina kuti abwere kudzawauza kuti ali mfulu.
Uwu ndiwo uthenga wa Paulo pa Aroma 10:14 NLT : “Tsopano ziri motere: munthu sakhoza kuitana pa Ambuye, ngati wina akhulupirira mwa Iye. Mungathe kukhulupirira mwa iye kokha ngati munamva za iye. Munthu amangomva kwa iye ngati pali wina amene akulengeza za iye”.
Kodi mungaganizire mmene zinalili kwa akapolo amenewa kuwaza thonje mu 40 digiri Texas kutentha pa June tsiku limenelo ndi kumva uthenga wabwino wa ufulu wawo? Munakumana ndi tsiku labwino kwambiri la moyo wanu! Mu Aroma 10,1^ ndime 5 Paulo anagwira mawu Yesaya kuti: “Mapazi a amene abweretsa uthenga wabwino ndi okongola kwabasi.” ( Yesaya 52,7).
Kodi udindo wathu ndi wotani?
Kodi udindo wathu ndi chiyani mu dongosolo la Mulungu la chipulumutso? Ndife amithenga ake achimwemwe ndipo timanyamula uthenga wabwino waufulu kwa anthu amene sanamve za ufulu wawo. Sitingathe kupulumutsa munthu m’modzi. Ndife amithenga, olengeza uthenga wabwino ndi kubweretsa uthenga wabwino wakuti: “Yesu wachita zonse, muli mfulu”!
Aisiraeli amene Paulo ankawadziwa anamva uthenga wabwino. Iwo sanakhulupirire mawu amene Paulo anawabweretsera. Kodi mumakhulupirira kumasulidwa ku ukapolo wanu ndikukhala mu ufulu watsopano?
