Ubwino wa chikhulupiriro m'moyo watsiku ndi tsiku
Petulo analakwitsa zinthu zambiri pa moyo wake. Iwo anamusonyeza kuti pambuyo pa kuyanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu Atate kupyolera mwa chisomo cha Mulungu, njira zotsimikizirika ziyenera kuchitidwa pamene tikukhala “monga alendo ndi akunja” m’dziko losayembekezereka. Mtumwi wolankhula mosapita m’mbaliyo anatisiyira “makhalidwe abwino asanu ndi awiri a chikhulupiriro” ofunikira. Izi zimatiyitanira ku moyo weniweni wachikhristu - ntchito yofunika kwambiri yomwe imatha nthawi yayitali. Kwa Petro, chikhulupiriro ndicho mfundo yofunika kwambiri ndipo akuifotokoza motere: “Chotero chita changu chonse pa icho, kusonyeza ukoma m’chikhulupiriro, ndi chidziwitso m’ukoma, ndi chidziletso m’chidziwitso, ndi kuleza mtima m’chidziletso, ndi chipembedzo m’chipiriro, umulungu m’chipembedzo Ubale ndi chikondi cha pa abale” (2. Peter 1,5-7 ndi).
Chikhulupiriro
Mawu akuti “chikhulupiriro” amachokera ku mawu achigiriki akuti “pistis” ndipo kwenikweni amatanthauza kukhulupirira malonjezo a Mulungu kotheratu. Chidaliro chimenechi chikuchitiridwa fanizo momveka bwino ndi chitsanzo cha kholo lakale Abrahamu: “Iye sanakaikire lonjezo la Mulungu mwa kusakhulupirira, koma analimbika m’chikhulupiriro, nalemekeza Mulungu, podziŵa ndithu kuti chimene Mulungu analonjeza angathe kuchitanso.” ( Aroma 4,20-21 ndi).
Ngati sitikhulupirira ntchito ya chiombolo imene Mulungu wachita mwa Kristu, tiribe maziko a moyo wa Chikristu: “Paulo ndi Sila anati, Khulupirira Ambuye Yesu, ndipo iwe ndi apabanja ako mudzapulumuka. (Machitidwe 16,31). Kholo lakale la Chipangano Chakale, Abrahamu, wotchulidwa m’Chipangano Chatsopano monga “tate wa okhulupirira,” anachoka m’dziko limene masiku ano limatchedwa Iraq nanyamuka kupita ku Kanani, dziko lolonjezedwa. Iye anachita zimenezi ngakhale kuti sankadziwa cholinga chake. ndipo anatuluka, osadziwa kumene akupita.” ( Aheb 11,8). Iye ankadalira kwambiri malonjezo a Mulungu, amene ankawakhulupirira ndi mtima wonse ndipo ankawatsatira.
Lerolino tili mumkhalidwe wofanana ndi wa Abrahamu: dziko lathu lapansi ndi losatsimikizirika ndi lofooka. Sitikudziwa ngati m’tsogolomu zidzasintha kapena ngati zinthu zidzaipiraipira. Makamaka m’nthaŵi zino n’kofunika kukhala ndi chidaliro—chikhulupiriro chakuti Mulungu adzatitsogolera ife ndi mabanja athu mosungika. Chikhulupiriro ndi umboni ndi chitsimikizo choperekedwa ndi Mulungu chopezeka m’maganizo ndi m’mitima yathu kuti Mulungu amatisamalira ndipo zinthu zonse zimagwirira ntchito pamodzi kaamba ka ubwino wathu: “Koma tidziwa kuti zinthu zonse zichitira ubwino kwa iwo amene akonda Mulungu, kwa iwo amene akonda Mulungu. anaitanidwa mogwirizana ndi cholinga chake.” ( Aroma 8,28).
Chikhulupiriro cha Yesu Khristu chimasiyanitsa Akhristu ndi anthu ena onse. Pistis, chidaliro mwa Mpulumutsi ndi Muomboli yemwe kudzera mwa munthu amatengedwa kukhala ana a Mulungu, ndiye maziko a makhalidwe ena onse achikhristu.
Ukoma
Chothandizira choyamba ku chikhulupiriro ndi ukoma. Liwu Lachigiriki lakuti “arete” limatanthauziridwa mu New Geneva Translation (NGÜ) monga “kukhazikika kwa umunthu” ndipo lingamvekenso ngati khalidwe lachitsanzo. Choncho, chikhulupiriro chimalimbikitsa ndi kulimbikitsa mphamvu ya khalidwe. Mawu akuti Arete ankagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi Agiriki ponena za milungu yawo. Zimatanthauza kuchita bwino, kuchita bwino komanso kulimba mtima, zomwe zimaposa wamba komanso tsiku ndi tsiku. Socrates anasonyeza ukoma pamene ankamwa chikho cha hemlock kuti akhalebe wokhulupirika ku mfundo zake. Mofananamo, Yesu anasonyeza kulimba kwa khalidwe pamene motsimikiza mtima anauyamba ulendo wake womaliza wopita ku Yerusalemu, ngakhale kuti anakumana ndi tsoka lankhanza kumeneko: “Ndipo panali, itakwana nthawi yakuti akwezedwe kumwamba, anakwera kumwamba. Iye anatembenuka n’cholinga choti apite ku Yerusalemu.” (Luka 9,51).
Khalidwe lachitsanzo sikutanthauza kungolankhula, komanso kuchita. Paulo anasonyeza kulimba mtima kwakukulu ndi ukoma pamene analengeza chifuno chake cholimba cha kuchezera Yerusalemu, ngakhale kuti Mzimu Woyera unamusonyeza mowonekera bwino kuti ngozi inali pafupi: “Muliranji ndi kundisweka mtima? Pakuti ndili wokonzeka osati kumangidwa kokha, komanso kukafera ku Yerusalemu chifukwa cha dzina la Ambuye Yesu.” ( Machitidwe 21,13). Kudzipereka kotereku, komwe kunachokera ku Arete, kunalimbikitsa ndi kulimbikitsa mpingo woyamba. Ukoma umaphatikizapo ntchito zabwino ndi ntchito zautumiki, zomwe timazipeza mu mpingo wonse woyambirira. Yakobo anatsindika kuti “chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito n’chachabe.” (Yakobo 2,20).
Erkenntnis
Kuphatikizidwa ndi chikhulupiriro, mphamvu ya khalidwe imathandizira ku chidziwitso. Mzimu Woyera unauzira Petro kugwiritsira ntchito liwu Lachigiriki lakuti “Gnosis” m’malo mwa liwu lakuti “Sophia” kutanthauza nzeru, limene nthaŵi zambiri likugwiritsidwa ntchito m’Chipangano Chatsopano. Chidziwitso m'lingaliro la Gnosis sichotsatira cha kuyesayesa kwanzeru, koma chidziwitso chauzimu choperekedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera. Izi zikukamba za umunthu wa Yesu Khristu ndi Mau a Mulungu: “Ndi chikhulupiriro tidziwa kuti dziko lapansi linalengedwa ndi Mawu a Mulungu, kuti zonse zooneka zidachokera ku kanthu.” ( Aheb. 11,3).
Chidziŵitso cha Malemba chozikidwa pa chokumana nacho chimagwirizana ndi mawu akuti “kudziŵa,” m’mene timakulitsa luso lothandiza m’moyo watsiku ndi tsiku wa chikhulupiriro chachikristu. Paulo anazindikira kuti Khoti Lalikulu la Ayuda linali la Asaduki ndi Afarisi ndipo anagwiritsa ntchito chidziwitsochi kuti awononge magulu a anthu ndi kudziteteza (Machitidwe 2)3,1-9 ndi).
Ndi kangati timalakalaka titakhala ndi luso limeneli, makamaka tikakumana ndi wogwira ntchito ku banki, mkulu wa boma, bwana, kapena woneneza mopanda chilungamo. Kunena zolondola pamlingo woyenera ndi luso limene tingapemphe thandizo kwa Atate wathu wakumwamba kuti: “Koma wina wa inu ikam’sowa nzeru, apemphe kwa Mulungu, amene apatsa kwa onse kwaulere, ndi mosatonza; chotero adzapatsidwa kwa iye.” (Yakobo 1,5).
Kudziletsa
Chikhulupiriro, ukoma ndi chidziwitso chokha sizokwanira pa moyo wachikhristu. Mulungu amaitanira Mkhristu aliyense ku moyo wodziletsa, ku kudziletsa. Mawu achigiriki akuti “Egkrateia” amatanthauza kudziletsa kapena kudziletsa. Kuwongolera uku kwa mphamvu, motsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, kumatsimikizira kuti kulingalira kumapambana kukhudzika kapena malingaliro. Paulo anachita kudziletsa koteroko, monga momwe akusonyezera m’mawu ake: “Koma sindithamanga monga ngati wosazindikira; Sindimenya nkhondo ndi nkhonya ngati munthu woponya nkhonya mumlengalenga, koma ndimalanga thupi langa ndi kuligonjetsa, kuti ndisalalikire kwa ena ndi kukhala wodzudzulidwa.”1. Akorinto 9,26-27 ndi).
Pa usiku womvetsa chisoni umenewo m’munda wa Getsemane, Yesu anavumbula kudziletsa ndi kudziletsa pamene umunthu wake waumunthu unamulimbikitsa kuthaŵa zoopsa za kupachikidwa. Kudziletsa kwangwiro kwaumulungu kumeneku kumatheka kokha pamene kumachokera mwa Mulungu Mwiniwake.

Chikhulupiriro, chozunguliridwa ndi ukoma, chidziwitso ndi kudziletsa, chimalimbikitsa kukula kwa chipiriro ndi chipiriro. Tanthauzo lonse la liwu Lachigiriki lakuti “Hupomone,” limene m’Chijeremani limatembenuzidwa kukhala kuleza mtima kapena kulimbikira, likuwoneka kukhala lopanda kanthu. Ngakhale kuti mawu akuti Hupomone amatanthauza kuleza mtima, ndi kuleza mtima kolunjika kolunjika pa cholinga chofunidwa komanso chenicheni. Sizongoyembekezera chabe, koma za kupirira ndi chiyembekezo ndi kutsimikiza mtima. Agiriki anagwiritsa ntchito mawuwa ponena za mbewu yomwe imakula bwino ngakhale pamavuto komanso pamavuto. Mu Ahebri, “Hupomone” (kupirira) amagwirizanitsidwa ndi kukhazikika kumene kumapirira ndi kuchita bwino poyembekezera chigonjetso ngakhale panthaŵi zovuta: “Tithamange ndi chipiriro m’nkhondo yoikidwiratu kwa ife, ndi kuyang’ana kwa Yesu, wolamulirayo. . Woyambitsa ndi wotsiriza wa chikhulupiriro, amene, angakhale anali nako chimwemwe, anapirira mtanda, nanyoza manyazi, nakhala pa dzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.2,1-2 ndi).
Mwachitsanzo, zimenezi zikutanthauza kudikira moleza mtima kuti achiritsidwe tikadwala kapena kuyembekezera zotsatira zabwino za pempho lathu kwa Mulungu. Masalmo ali odzaza ndi maitanidwe olimbikira: “Ndiyembekeza Yehova, moyo wanga ulindira, ndipo ndiyembekezera mawu ake” ( Salmo 130,5 )
Zopempha izi zikutsagana ndi chidaliro cholimba mu mphamvu yachikondi ya Mulungu kuti ikhale ndi zida zolimbana ndi zovuta zonse zomwe moyo umatibweretsera. Kukhazikika kumabweretsa chisangalalo ndi chiyembekezo, osafuna kusiya. Kutsimikiza mtima kumeneku n’kwamphamvu kwambiri kuposa kuopa imfa.
umulungu
Ukoma wotsatira womwe umakula kuchokera ku maziko a chikhulupiriro ndi "Eusebeia" kapena umulungu. Mawuwa amanena za thayo la munthu la kulemekeza Mulungu: “Chilichonse chotumikira moyo ndi chipembedzo chatipatsa ife mphamvu yake yaumulungu mwa chidziwitso cha Iye amene anatiyitana ife ndi ulemerero wake ndi mphamvu yake.”2. Peter 1,3).
Miyoyo yathu iyenera kufotokoza momveka bwino makhalidwe apadera a moyo woperekedwa kuchokera kumwamba. Anthu anzathu ayenera kuzindikira kuti ndife ana a Atate wathu wakumwamba. Paulo akutikumbutsa kuti: “Pakuti masewero olimbitsa thupi ali chabe; koma kupembedza n’kopindulitsa m’zonse, ndipo kuli nalo lonjezano la moyo uno ndi wa moyo ulinkudza.”1. Timoteo 4,8 NDI).
Khalidwe lathu liyenera kufanana ndi njira ya Mulungu, osati mwa mphamvu zathu, koma kudzera mwa Yesu amene amakhala mwa ife: “Musabwezere choipa pa choipa. Khalani ndi cholinga chochitira zabwino aliyense. Ngati nkutheka, monga momwe mukhoza, khalani ndi mtendere ndi anthu onse. Okondedwa, musabwezere choipa, koma patukani ku mkwiyo wa Mulungu; pakuti kwalembedwa, Kubwezera kuli kwanga; Ine ndidzabwezera, akutero Yehova.” ( Aroma 12,17-19 ndi).
Chikondi cha pa abale
Miyezo isanu yoyambirira yotchulidwa ikukhudza moyo wamkati wa wokhulupirira ndi unansi wake ndi Mulungu. Awiri omalizira amaganizira za ubale wake ndi anthu ena. Chikondi cha pa abale chimachokera ku mawu achi Greek akuti "Philadelphia" ndipo amatanthauza kudzipereka, chisamaliro chothandiza kwa ena. Kumaphatikizapo luso lokonda anthu onse monga abale ndi alongo a Yesu Kristu. Mwatsoka, timakonda kugwiritsira ntchito molakwa chikondi chathu mwa kuchipereka kwa awo amene ali ofanana ndi ife. Pachifukwa chimenechi, Petro anayesa kupereka lingaliro limeneli kwa oŵerenga kalata yake yoyamba: “Koma sikufunikira kukulemberani za chikondi cha pa abale; Pakuti inuyo mwaphunzitsidwa ndi Mulungu kuti muzikondana.” (1 Ates 4,9).
Chikondi cha pa abale chimatizindikiritsa m’dziko monga ophunzira a Kristu: “Mwa ichi adzazindikira onse kuti muli akuphunzira anga, ngati muli nacho chikondano wina ndi mnzake.” ( Yoh.3,35). Chikhulupiriro chimakhazikika m’chikondi cha Mulungu, chimene timatha kukonda abale ndi alongo athu monga mmene Yesu amatikondera.
Chikondi chaumulungu
Kukonda abale ndi alongo kumabweretsa “chikondi” kwa anthu onse. Chikondi chimenechi si nkhani ya kutengeka maganizo ndi kufuna. Chikondi chaumulungu, chotchedwa "Agape" mu Chigriki, chikuyimira chikondi cha uzimu ndipo chimatengedwa ngati korona wa ukoma wonse: "Pemphero langa ndilo kuti Khristu akhale mwa inu mwa chikhulupiriro. Muyenera kukhazikika m'chikondi chake; muyenera kumangapo. Chifukwa ndi njira imeneyi yokha imene inu ndi Akristu ena onse mungasonyezere kukula kwa chikondi chake. Inde, ndikupemphera kuti mumvetse mozama kwambiri chikondi chimenechi chimene sitingathe kuchimvetsa ndi maganizo athu. Mukatero mudzadzazidwa kwambiri ndi chuma chonse cha moyo chopezeka mwa Mulungu.” (Aef 3,17-19 ndi).
Chikondi cha Agape chimayimira mzimu wachifundo chenicheni kwa anthu onse: “Ndinakhala wofooka kwa ofooka, kuti ndipindule ofooka. Ndakhala zonse kwa onse, kuti m’njira zonse ndikapulumutse ena.”1. Akorinto 9,22).
Tikhoza kusonyeza chikondi chathu mwa kupereka nthawi yathu, luso lathu, chuma chathu ndi moyo wathu kwa omwe atizungulira. Chosangalatsa n’chakuti nyimbo yotamanda imeneyi imayamba ndi chikhulupiriro ndipo imathera m’chikondi. Kumanga pa maziko a chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Yesu Khristu, inu, owerenga okondedwa, mukhoza kusonyeza khalidwe lachikhristu loona momwe makhalidwe asanu ndi awiri achifundo awa akugwira ntchito.
