Chisomo: Chikondi chosayenerera cha Mulungu
Dzina la mpingo wathu - Grace Communion International - limayamba ndi liwu lakuti chisomo. Mawu awa akufotokoza bwino za ulendo wathu pamodzi ndi Mulungu mwa Yesu Khristu kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera. Mawu akuti chisomo amapezeka nthawi 274 m'Baibulo, koma sitingapeze tanthauzo lomveka bwino. Poyamba limachokera ku liwu lachihebri lachihebri limene limatanthauza “kupendekera” kapena “kupindika.” Patapita nthawi, tanthauzo lake linasanduka “chisomo chowerama cha Mulungu.”
Chisomo sichimakhululukira tchimo, koma chimavomereza wochimwayo. Ndi chikhalidwe chawo kuti sitingawayenerere iwo. Monga mpingo, timamvetsetsa chisomo monga chikhululukiro cha Mulungu chopanda malire ndi chosayenera: “Pakuti Mulungu anali mwa Kristu, nayanjanitsa dziko lapansi kwa Iye yekha, ndipo sanawaŵerengera machimo awo, nakhazikitsa mwa ife mawu a chiyanjanitso” ( 1 Yoh.2. Akorinto 5,19).
Chisomo cha Mulungu chimasintha miyoyo yathu ndipo chili pamtima pa chikhulupiriro chachikhristu. Chisomo ndicho mchitidwe wachikondi ndi womasula wa Mulungu umene umasintha anthu kukhala chimene mtumwi Petro anachitcha kuti anthu a Mulungu: “Koma inu ndinu mbadwa yosankhika, ansembe achifumu, anthu oyera mtima, anthu a chuma chanu cha inu nokha, alalikidwe za mapindu ake. amene anakuitanani mutuluke mumdima, kulowa kuunika kwake kodabwitsa; Inu amene kale simunali anthu ake, koma tsopano ndinu anthu a Mulungu, ndipo kale simunali m’chisomo, koma tsopano muli m’chisomo.”1. Peter 2,9-10 ndi).
Chisomo sichiri chithandizo choonjezera chimene Mulungu amatipatsa chifukwa sitingathe kusunga malamulo ake. M'malo mwake, timafunikira chisomo chifukwa sitingakhale olungama pakusunga malamulo ake. Chisomo chimatipatsa moyo watsopano umene palibe kutsata mosamalitsa ku lamulo kungapitirire: “Ndinafa ku chilamulo mwa lamulo, kuti ndikhale ndi moyo kwa Mulungu. Ndapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Khristu. ndiri ndi moyo, koma tsopano si ine, koma Khristu ali ndi moyo mwa ine. Pakuti chimene ndikukhala nacho tsopano m’thupi, ndikukhala nacho mwa chikhulupiriro cha Mwana wa Mulungu, amene anandikonda, nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ine.” ( Agalatiya Agalatiya 2,19-20 ndi).
Chisomo ndi chilengedwe chomwe chimatilola kuti tikule ndi kuchita bwino. Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera apereka, alandira ndi kugawana chikondi kuyambira muyaya. Pamene atipatsa ife chikondi ichi, ndi mphatso yawo ya chisomo. Chisomo cha Mulungu sichisiyana ndi lamulo - Mulungu ndi wachisomo nthawi zonse kutipatsa moyo ndi kutidalitsa, ngakhale atachotsa zopinga ndi ndalama zake.
Tikuona chisomo cha Mulungu momveka bwino mwa Yesu Khristu, amene anatikonda ndi kudzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife. Monga atate wa mpingo woyamba Irenaeus anaphunzitsira, Mwana ndi Mzimu ndi manja awiri a Atate amene mwachikondi amatikokera ife kwa Iye. Yesu ananena m’mawu ake otsanzikana kuti: “Ndawapatsa iwo ulemerero umene munandipatsa, kuti akhale amodzi, monga ife tiri amodzi, ine mwa iwo, ndi inu mwa Ine; kuti mwandituma Ine ndi kuwakonda monga momwe mumandikonda Ine” (Yohane 17,22-23 ndi).
Monga olandira chisomo cha Mulungu mwa Khristu, sitigawana kokha mu chikondi ndi moyo wa Atate kudzera mwa Mwana wake mu Mzimu, komanso mu utumiki wa Mulungu ku dziko lapansi. Angelo kapena ife sitikudziwa nthawi imene Yesu adzabweranso ndi mphamvu ndi ulemerero. Choncho tiyeni tiyesetse kupanga chikondi cha Mulungu chimene chimakhala mwa ife kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu chionekere kwa anthu anzathu ndipo tidikire moleza mtima mpaka Yesu abwere!
