Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, anakhala munthu kuti atisonyeze mmene Mulungu amafunira kukhala pafupi ndi ife, kufuna kugawana nawo moyo wathu ndi mmene iye alili wofunitsitsa kutisintha. Maubale amatiumba kwambiri. Anthu amene timakhala nawo pafupi kwambiri amatengera zimene ifeyo ndife komanso zimene tidzakhala. Tangolingalirani za chiyambukiro cha kukhala paubale weniweni ndi Mlengi wa chilengedwe chonse. Mulungu amalonjeza kuti adzakhala pafupi nafe ngati tiyandikira kwa iye. Ubale waumulungu umenewu uli pamtima pa kusandulika kwathu kukhala chifaniziro cha Mulungu, kumene takhala tikuyitanidwa kuchokera ku chilengedwe cha munthu. Izi zimapanga maziko a moyo wathu wachikhristu mwa Yesu Khristu.
M’moyo watsiku ndi tsiku kaŵirikaŵiri kumakhala kovuta kukhala ndi chikhulupiriro chathu. Udindo ndi zododometsa zimachotsa maganizo athu kwa Mulungu. Buku la Yakobo limatipatsa malangizo othandiza kuti: “Gonjerani Mulungu. Kanizani mdierekezi ndipo adzakuthawani inu. Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo adzayandikira kwa inu. Sambani m’manja mwanu ochimwa inu, ndipo yeretsani mitima yanu, osakhulupirika inu.” (Yakobo 4,7-8 ndi).
Yakobe, m’bale wake wa Yesu, yemwenso anali mtsogoleri wa mpingo wa ku Yerusalemu, analembera kalata Ayuda omwe anali Mesiya amene ankazunzidwa komanso kuzunzidwa. M’kalata yake, Yakobo akugogomezera kufunika koyeretsa manja athu ndi kuyeretsa mitima yathu—kuitana kuti tipereke moyo wathu wonse kwa Mulungu. Kuchokera ku khalidwe lodzichepetsa ndi kudzipereka kumeneku kumabwera njira yothandiza ya moyo. Ikhoza kufotokozedwa mwachidule m’ziphunzitso zazikulu zitatu zimene zingatithandize kuika chikhulupiriro chathu m’zochita.
Choyamba, Yakobo akutiphunzitsa kulankhula mwachikondi. Mawu ali ndi mphamvu yaikulu - amatha kuchiritsa kapena kupweteka, kumangirira kapena kugwetsa, kulimbikitsa kapena kufooketsa. Chilankhulo chathu chimasonyeza mmene mitima yathu ilili. Polimbikitsidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, tiyenera kulankhula mwachikondi ndi zoona nthawi zonse. Mwa kulankhulana mwanzeru, timalimbitsa maunansi ndipo timachitira umboni za chikondi cha Mulungu.
Chachiŵiri, Yakobo akugogomezera chifundo kwa osauka ndi oponderezedwa. Iye akufotokoza momveka bwino kuti chikhulupiriro chenicheni chimaonekera m’ntchito zachifundo. Sikokwanira kungolankhula mawu otonthoza; tiyenera kuchitapo kanthu kuti tikwaniritse zosowa za osowa. Mwa kusamalira osoŵa, timasonyeza chikondi cha Kristu m’njira zenizeni.
Chachitatu, Yakobo akutiitana ife kulunjika miyoyo yathu kwa Yesu: “Chotero mverani Mulungu.” Izi zikutanthauza kuyika zokhumba zathu ndi malingaliro athu ku chifuniro cha Mulungu. Pamafunika kudzichepetsa ndi kulolera kuti Mulungu atitsogolere. Iye amatipatsa mphamvu ndi nzeru zimene timafunikira kuti tithe kulimbana ndi mavuto a m’moyo.
Pamene tidzichepetsa ndi kufunafuna kuyandikira kwa Mulungu, tidzapeza mphamvu ndi chitsogozo chimene iye mwachisomo amatipatsa. Chikhumbo chathu chofuna kumulemekeza chinazikidwa m’chikondi chake chozama pa ife ndi chikhumbo chake cha unansi wolimba, wopitirizabe. Pobweretsa chiyembekezo, chikondi ndi mtendere kwa aliyense amene timakumana naye, timawonetsa kuwala kwa Khristu padziko lapansi ndikukhala zida za chisomo chake.
Ubale umenewu umatithandiza kuti tikhale ndi moyo umene umalemekeza dzina la Mulungu.
Mulungu akupatseni nzeru ndi kulimbika mtima kuti muzindikire ndi kuchita chifuniro chake. Ndi chisomo chake, mudzakhala moyo umene umadzidalitsa osati nokha komanso anthu ena. Tiyeni tiyesetse pamodzi kulemekeza Mulungu mu zonse zomwe timachita ndi kusonyeza chikondi chake ku dziko lapansi.
