Atate ndi Mulungu ndipo Mwana ndi Mulungu ndipo Mzimu Woyera ndi Mulungu, koma pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha. Dikirani pang'ono anthu ena anene. "Kuphatikiza kumodzi kuphatikiza kumodzi kumafanana ndi kumodzi? Izo sizingakhale zoona. Sizingowonjezera."
Ndiko kulondola, sizikugwira ntchito - ndipo siziyeneranso kutero. Mulungu si “chinthu” choti muwonjezere. Pakhoza kukhala Mmodzi, Wamphamvuzonse, Wanzeru Zonse, Wopezekapo - chifukwa chake pangakhale Mulungu Mmodzi yekha. M’dziko la mizimu, Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi amodzi, ogwirizana m’njira imene zinthu zakuthupi sizingakhale. Masamu athu amazikidwa pa zinthu zakuthupi; sizimagwira ntchito nthawi zonse mu gawo lauzimu lopanda malire.
Atate ndi Mulungu ndipo Mwana ndi Mulungu, koma pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha. Ili si banja kapena komiti ya zolengedwa zaumulungu - gulu silinganene kuti, "Palibe wina wonga ine" (Yesaya 4)3,10; 44,6; 45,5). Mulungu ndi umulungu chabe - woposa munthu, koma Mulungu yekha. Akristu oyambirira sanatenge lingaliro ili kuchokera ku chikunja kapena filosofi - iwo anakakamizika kutero ndi malemba.
Monga momwe malembo amaphunzitsira kuti Khristu ndi waumulungu, amaphunzitsanso kuti Mzimu Woyera ndi waumulungu komanso waumwini. Chilichonse chomwe Mzimu Woyera amachita, Mulungu amachita. Mzimu Woyera ndiye Mulungu monga Mwana ndi Atate ali - anthu atatu omwe alumikizana mwangwiro mwa Mulungu m'modzi: Utatu.
Kaŵirikaŵiri funso limafunsidwa: Popeza Mulungu ali mmodzi (mmodzi), n’chifukwa chiyani Yesu anafunikira kupemphera kwa Atate? Kumbuyo kwa funsoli kuli maganizo akuti umodzi wa Mulungu sunalole Yesu (amene anali Mulungu) kupemphera kwa Atate. Mulungu ndi mmodzi Ndiye kodi Yesu anapemphera kwa ndani? Chithunzichi chikusiya mfundo zinayi zofunika kuzifotokoza kuti tipeze yankho logwira mtima la funsolo. Mfundo yoyamba ndi yakuti, “Mawu ndiye Mulungu” sikutanthauza kuti Mulungu anali Logos yekha [Mawu]. Mawu akuti “Mulungu” m’mawu akuti “Mulungu ndiye Mawu.” ( Yoh 1,1) sagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati dzina loyenerera. Mawuwa akutanthauza kuti Logos anali waumulungu - kuti Logos anali ndi chikhalidwe chofanana ndi Mulungu - munthu mmodzi, chikhalidwe chimodzi. Ndi kulakwa kuganiza kuti mawu akuti “Logos anali Mulungu” akutanthauza kuti Logosi yekhayo anali Mulungu. Kuchokera pamalingaliro awa, mawu awa saletsa Khristu kupemphera kwa Atate. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, pali Khristu mmodzi ndipo pali Atate, ndipo palibe kusagwirizana pamene Khristu akupemphera kwa Atate.
Mfundo yachiwiri imene iyenera kumveketsedwa bwino ndi yakuti Logos anakhala thupi (Yoh 1,14). Mawu awa amanena kuti Logos wa Mulungu anakhaladi munthu - munthu weniweni, wokhala ndi malire, ndi mikhalidwe yonse ndi malire omwe amadziwika ndi anthu. Anali ndi zosowa zonse zomwe zimabwera ndi umunthu. Anafunikira chakudya kuti akhalebe ndi moyo, anali ndi zosoŵa zauzimu ndi zamaganizo, kuphatikizapo kufunika koyanjana ndi Mulungu mwa pemphero. Kufunika kumeneku kudzaonekera kwambiri m’zitsanzo zotsatirazi.
Mfundo yachitatu yomwe iyenera kufotokozedwa ndikuti alibe tchimo. Pemphero silili kwa ochimwa okha; ngakhale munthu wopanda tchimo atha kutamanda Mulungu ndikupempha thandizo Lake. Munthu wochepa, ayenera kupemphera kwa Mulungu, ayenera kukhala ndi chiyanjano ndi Mulungu. Yesu Khristu, munthu, amayenera kupemphera kwa Mulungu wopanda malire.
Izi zikukweza kufunikira kokonza cholakwika chachinayi chomwe chidapangika pamfundo yomweyo: lingaliro loti kufunika kopemphera ndi umboni woti munthu wopemphera sakhala woposa munthu. Malingaliro awa abwera m'malingaliro a anthu ambiri kuchokera pamalingaliro olakwika a pemphero - kuchokera paganizo loti kupanda ungwiro kwaumunthu ndiye maziko okha opempherera. Maganizo amenewa sanatengeredwe mu Baibulo kapena china chilichonse chomwe Mulungu waulula. Adam amayenera kupemphera ngakhale akadachimwa. Kusalakwa kwake sikukadapangitsa mapemphero ake kukhala osafunikira. Khristu adapemphera ngakhale anali wangwiro.
Poganizira zimene tafotokozazi, funsoli likhoza kuyankhidwa. Khristu anali Mulungu, koma sanali Atate (kapena Mzimu Woyera); iye amakhoza kupemphera kwa atate. Khristu nayenso anali munthu - munthu wocheperako; iye ankayenera kupemphera kwa atate. Khristu analinso Adamu watsopano - chitsanzo cha munthu wangwiro Adamu ayenera kukhala; anali mu chiyanjano chokhazikika ndi Mulungu. Khristu anali woposa munthu - ndipo pemphero silisintha chikhalidwe chimenecho; anapemphera monga Mwana wa Mulungu analenga munthu. Lingaliro lakuti pemphero ndi losayenera kapena losafunika kwa munthu woposa munthu silichokera ku chivumbulutso cha Mulungu.
