Chitsimikizo cha chipulumutso

Baibulo limatsimikizira kuti onse amene akhalabe m’chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Kristu adzapulumuka ndipo palibe chimene chidzawakwatule m’dzanja la Kristu. Baibulo limatsindika za kukhulupirika kopanda malire kwa Ambuye ndi kukwanira kotheratu kwa Yesu Khristu pa chipulumutso chathu. Iye akutsindikanso za chikondi chosatha cha Mulungu kwa anthu onse ndipo akulongosola uthenga wabwino ngati mphamvu ya Mulungu ya chipulumutso cha onse okhulupirira. Pokhala ndi chitsimikizo cha chipulumutso chimenechi, wokhulupirira akuitanidwa kukhalabe okhazikika m’chikhulupiriro ndi kukula m’chisomo ndi chidziwitso cha Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi wathu Yesu Kristu. (Yohane 10,27-29; 2. Akorinto 1,20-22; 2. Timoteo 1,9; 1. Korinto 15,2; Ahebri 6,4-6; Yohane 3,16; Aroma 1,16; Ahebri 4,14; 2. Peter 3,18)

Nanga bwanji "chitetezo chamuyaya?"

Chiphunzitso cha “chisungiko chamuyaya” chimatchedwa “chipiriro cha oyera mtima” m’chinenero cha maphunziro a zaumulungu. M'mawu ofanana, akufotokozedwa ndi mawu akuti "kamodzi wopulumutsidwa, wopulumutsidwa nthawi zonse," kapena "kamodzi Mkhristu, Mkhristu nthawizonse."

Malemba ambiri amatipatsa chitsimikizo chakuti tili ndi chipulumutso tsopano, ngakhale kuti tiyenera kuyembekezera kuuka kuti tilandire moyo wosatha ndi ufumu wa Mulungu. Nawa ena mwa mawu omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu Chipangano Chatsopano:

Iye amene akhulupirira ali nawo moyo wosatha (Yoh 6,47) … iye amene aona Mwana ndi kukhulupirira iye adzakhala nawo moyo wosatha; ndipo Ine ndidzamuukitsa iye tsiku lomaliza (Yoh 6,40ndipo ndidzazipatsa moyo wosatha; ndipo sizidzaonongeka ku nthawi yonse, ndipo palibe munthu adzazikwatula m’dzanja langa (Yoh. 10,28)... Chotero tsopano palibe kutsutsika kwa iwo amene ali mwa Khristu Yesu (Aroma 8,1) … [Palibe] chingatilekanitse ife ndi chikondi cha Mulungu chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu (Aroma 8,39...[Kristu] adzakulimbitsani kufikira chimaliziro.1. Akorinto 1,8) … Koma Mulungu ali wokhulupirika, amene sadzalola inu kuyesedwa koposa mphamvu yanu.1. Akorinto 10,13… iye amene anayamba ntchito yabwino mwa inu adzaitsirizanso (Afilipi 1,6. . . tidziwa kuti talowa m’imfa;1. Johannes 3,14).

Chiphunzitso cha chisungiko chosatha chakhazikika pa zitsimikiziro zoterozo. Koma pali mbali ina ya chipulumutso. Zikuonekanso kuti pali machenjezo kuti Akhristu akhoza kugwa ku chisomo cha Mulungu.

Akristu akuchenjezedwa kuti: “Chifukwa chake iye wakuyesa kuti ali chilili, ayang’anire kuti angagwe.”1. Akorinto 10,12). Yesu anati: “Dikirani, pempherani kuti mungagwe m’mayesero.” ( Marko 14,28), ndipo “chikondi chidzazirala mwa ambiri” ( Mateyu 24,12). Mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti ena mu mpingo “mwa chikhulupiriro

zasweka ngalawa” (1. Timoteo 1,19). Mpingo wa ku Efeso unachenjezedwa kuti Kristu adzachotsa choikapo nyali chake ndi kusanza Alaodikaya ofunda m’kamwa mwake. Choyipa kwambiri ndi malangizo omwe ali mu Ahebri 10,26-mmodzi:

“Pakuti tikachimwa ife eni eni, titalandira chidziwitso cha choonadi, tiribenso chopereka china chifukwa cha machimo, koma chiyembekezo choopsa cha chiweruzo, ndi moto waumbombo umene udzanyeketsa adaniwo. Ngati wina aphwanya chilamulo cha Mose, ayenera kufa popanda chifundo pa mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu. Kodi muganiza kuti ayenera kulangidwa koopsa kotani kwa iye amene aponda Mwana wa Mulungu, nawerengera mwazi wa pangano umene anayeretsedwa nao, ndi kunyoza Mzimu wa chisomo? Pakuti tidziwa iye amene anati, Kubwezera kuli kwanga, Ine ndidzabwezera; Kugwera m’manja mwa Mulungu wamoyo n’koopsa.”

Komanso Chiheberi 6,4-6 zimatipangitsa kuganiza:
“Pakuti sikutheka kuti iwo amene adawunikiridwapo kale, nalawa mphatso yakumwamba, nadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, nalawa mawu abwino a Mulungu, ndi mphamvu za dziko lirinkudza, ndiyeno kugwa, kulapanso; chifukwa cha iwo eni amapachikanso Mwana wa Mulungu pamtanda, namuchitira chipongwe.”

Kotero pali uwiri mu Chipangano Chatsopano. Ndime zambiri ndi zabwino zokhudzana ndi chipulumutso chamuyaya chomwe tili nacho mwa Khristu. Chipulumutsochi chikuwoneka chotsimikizika. Koma mavesi oterowo amatonthozedwa ndi machenjezo ena amene amaoneka ngati akusonyeza kuti Akristu angataye chipulumutso chawo chifukwa cha kusakhulupirira kosalekeza.

Popeza funso la chipulumutso chamuyaya, kapena ngati Akhristu ali otetezeka - mwachitsanzo, atapulumutsidwa, ndiye kuti amapulumutsidwa nthawi zonse - kawirikawiri chifukwa cha malemba monga Aheberi. 10,26-31 ikubwera, tiyeni tiwone bwinobwino ndimeyi. Funso ndilakuti tiyenera kumasulira bwanji mavesiwa. Kodi wolemba akulembera ndani, ndipo “kusakhulupirira” kwa anthu nchiyani, ndipo iwo alingaliranji?

Choyamba, tiyeni tione uthenga wa Aheberi wonse. Pamtima pa bukhuli pali kufunika kokhulupilira mwa Khristu monga nsembe yokwanira yochotsera uchimo. Palibe opikisana nawo. Chikhulupiriro chiyenera kukhala pa iye yekha. Kumveketsa bwino kwa funso la kutayika kothekera kwa chipulumutso limene vesi 26 likudzutsa lili m’vesi lomalizira la mutu umenewo: “Koma ife sitiri a iwo amene adzagwa ndi kuweruzidwa, koma ife a iwo akukhulupirira ndi kupulumutsa moyo” (v. 26). Ena amachepa, koma iwo amene akhala mwa Khristu sangawonongeke.

Chitsimikizo chomwecho kwa okhulupilira chikupezeka m'mavesi a Ahebri 10,26. Akhristu ali ndi chidaliro pokhala pamaso pa Mulungu kudzera mu mwazi wa Yesu (vesi 19). Tikhoza kufikira Mulungu ndi chikhulupiriro changwiro (v. 22). Wolembayo akulimbikitsa Akristu m’mawu awa: “Tigwiritsitse chivomerezo cha chiyembekezo, osagwedezeka; pakuti Iye amene adawalonjeza ali wokhulupirika” (v. 23).

Njira imodzi yomvetsetsera mavesi a mu Aheberi 6 ndi 10 onena za “kugwa” ndiyo kupatsa owerenga nkhani zongopeka zowalimbikitsa kukhalabe okhazikika m’chikhulupiriro chawo. Mwachitsanzo, tiyeni tione Aheberi 10,19-39 pa. Anthu amene amalankhula nawo ali ndi “ufulu wolowa m’malo opatulika” ( vesi 19 ) kudzera mwa Khristu. Angathe “kuyandikira kwa Mulungu” (v. 22). Wolemba amawawona anthu awa ngati "akugwira mwamphamvu kuvomereza kwa chiyembekezo" (vesi 23). Amafuna kuwalimbikitsa ku chikondi chachikulu ndi chikhulupiriro chokulirapo (v. 24).

Monga mbali ya chilimbikitso chimenechi, iye akupereka chithunzi cha zimene zingachitike—mongopeka, malinga ndi chiphunzitso chotchulidwa—kwa iwo amene “akupitirizabe kuchimwa dala” (v. 26). Ngakhale zili choncho, anthu amene akulankhula nawo ndi amene “anawalitsidwa” ndipo anakhalabe okhulupirika pa nthawi ya chizunzo ( mav. 32-33 ). Iwo aika “chikhulupiriro” chawo mwa Khristu, ndipo wolemba akuwalimbikitsa kulimbikira m’chikhulupiriro (vv. 35-36). Pomaliza akunena za anthu amene amawalembera kuti ife sitiri a iwo akubwerera mmbuyo ndi kuweruzidwa, koma a iwo amene akhulupirira ndi kupulumutsa moyo” (v. 39).

Onaninso mmene wolemba anamasulira chenjezo lake la “kugwa pa chikhulupiriro” mu Aheberi 6,1-8 anamaliza kuti: “Koma ngakhale titero okondedwa, tiri otsimikiza mtima kuti muli bwino koposa ndi kupulumutsidwa; Pakuti Mulungu si wosalungama kuti adzaiŵala ntchito yanu ndi chikondicho mudachionetsera dzina lake potumikira oyera mtima ndi kutumikirabe oyera.” ( vv. 9-10 ). Wolembayo akupitiriza kunena kuti iye anawauza zinthu zimenezi kuti “asonyeze changu chofanana cha kusunga chiyembekezo kufikira chimaliziro” ( vesi 11 ).

Chotero, mongopeka, n’zotheka kunena za mkhalidwe umene munthu amene anali ndi chikhulupiriro chenicheni mwa Yesu angataye. Koma ngati sikunali kotheka, kodi chenjezolo likanakhala loyenera ndi logwira mtima?

Kodi Akristu angataye chikhulupiriro chawo m’dziko lenileni? Akristu ‘angagwe’ m’lingaliro la kuchita tchimo (1. Johannes 1,8-2,2). Iwo akhoza kukhala ofooka mwauzimu pazochitika zina. Koma kodi nthawi zina zimenezi zimabweretsa “kugwa” kwa anthu amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro chenicheni mwa Khristu? Zimenezi sizikumveka bwino m’Malemba. Zoonadi, tingafunse mmene munthu angakhalire “weniweni” mwa Khristu ndi “kugwa” nthawi imodzi.

Udindo wa Mpingo, monga momwe zafotokozedwera mu Mawu a Chikhulupiriro, ndi wakuti anthu sangalandidwe m'manja mwake amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro chokhazikika, chimene Mulungu adachipereka kwa Khristu. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, pamene chikhulupiliro cha munthu chili mwa Khristu, iye sangatayike. Malinga ngati Akristu agwiritsitsa chivomerezo chimenechi cha chiyembekezo chawo, chipulumutso chawo n’chotsimikizika.

Funso lokhudza chiphunzitso cha “kupulumutsidwa kamodzi, kupulumutsidwa nthawi zonse” likukhudza ngati tingataye chikhulupiriro chathu mwa Khristu. Monga tanenera poyamba paja, Ahebri akuwoneka kuti akufotokoza za anthu amene poyamba anali ndi “chikhulupiriro” koma amene angakhale pangozi yakutaya.

Koma izi zikutsimikizira mfundo yomwe tafotokoza m’ndime yapitayi. Njira yokhayo yotaya chipulumutso ndiyo kutaya njira yokhayo ya chipulumutso – chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu.

Bukhu la Ahebri limakamba kwenikweni za tchimo la kusakhulupirira ntchito ya Mulungu ya chipulumutso kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu (onani, mwachitsanzo, Ahebri. 1,2; 2,1-4; 3,12. 14; 3,19-4,3; 4,14). Ahebri chaputala 10 amayankha mochititsa chidwi funso limeneli mu vesi 19 , kunena kuti kudzera mwa Yesu Kristu tili ndi ufulu ndi chidaliro chonse.

Vesi 23 likutilimbikitsa kuti tigwire mwamphamvu kuvomereza kwa chiyembekezo chathu. Tikudziwa izi motsimikiza: malinga ngati tisunga chikhulupiriro cha chiyembekezo chathu, ndife otetezeka ndipo sitingathe kutaya chipulumutso chathu. Kuvomereza kumeneku kumaphatikizapo chikhulupiriro chathu mu nsembe ya Kristu yochotsera machimo athu, chiyembekezo chathu cha moyo watsopano mwa iye, ndi kupitirizabe kukhala okhulupirika kwa iye m’moyo uno.

Nthawi zambiri anthu amene amagwiritsa ntchito mawu oti “atangopulumutsidwa, opulumutsidwa nthawi zonse” sadziwa kuti akutanthauza chiyani. Mawu amenewa sakutanthauza kuti munthu anapulumutsidwa chifukwa chakuti ananena mawu ochepa za Khristu. Anthu amapulumutsidwa pamene alandira Mzimu Woyera, pamene abadwa mwatsopano ku moyo watsopano mwa Khristu. Chikhulupiriro chowona chimasonyezedwa mwa kukhulupirika kwa Khristu, ndipo izi zikutanthauza kuti osakhalanso kwa ife tokha koma kwa Mpulumutsi.

Mfundo yaikulu ndi yakuti malinga ngati tipitiriza kuyenda mwa Yesu, ndife otetezeka mwa Khristu (Aheberi 10,19-23). Tili ndi chitsimikizo chonse cha chikhulupiriro mwa iye chifukwa ndiye amene amatipulumutsa. Sitiyenera kuda nkhawa ndikufunsa funso. “Kodi ndikhoza?” Mwa Khristu ndife otetezeka—ndife ake ndipo tapulumutsidwa, ndipo palibe chimene chingatilande m’dzanja lake.

Njira yokhayo imene tingasowekere ndiyo ngati tiponda magazi ake, n’kusankha kuti pamapeto pake sitimufuna ndiponso kuti ndife okwanira kwa ife tokha. Zikanakhala choncho, sitikanadera nkhawa za chipulumutso chathu. Pamene tikhalabe okhulupirika mwa Kristu, tili ndi chitsimikizo [chotsimikizirika] chakuti iye adzatsiriza ntchito imene anayamba mwa ife.

Chitonthozo chake ndi ichi: Sitiyenera kuda nkhawa ndi chipulumutso chathu ndi kunena kuti, “Kodi chimachitika ndi chiyani ndikalephera?” Talephera kale. Ndi Yesu amene amatipulumutsa ndipo salephera. Kodi tingalephere kuvomereza? Inde, koma monga Akhristu otsogozedwa ndi Mzimu, sitinalephere kuchilandira. Tikangolandira Yesu, Mzimu Woyera amakhala mwa ife, kutisandutsa mu chifaniziro chake. Tili ndi chimwemwe, osati mantha. Tili pamtendere, musachite mantha.

Tikakhulupilira mwa Yesu Khristu, timasiya kudandaula za "kupanga". Iye “anazipanga izo” kwa ife. Timapuma mwa iye. Timasiya kuda nkhawa. Tili ndi chikhulupiriro ndi kudalira Iye, osati ife eni. Chotero funso lotaya chipulumutso chathu silimativutitsanso. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa timakhulupirira ntchito ya Yesu pa mtanda ndi kuuka kwake ndi zonse zomwe timafunikira.

Mulungu safuna ungwiro wathu. Timafunikira Ake, ndipo anatipatsa ngati mphatso yaulere kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu. Sitidzalephera chifukwa chipulumutso chathu sichidalira ife.

Mwachidule, Mpingo umakhulupirira kuti iwo amene akhala mwa Khristu sangawonongeke. Ndinu "otetezeka kwamuyaya". Koma izi zimatengera zomwe anthu akutanthauza akamanena kuti “opulumutsidwa kamodzi, kupulumutsidwa nthawi zonse”.

Ponena za chiphunzitso cha choikidwiratu, tikhoza kufotokoza mwachidule malo a Mpingo m’mawu ochepa. Sitikhulupirira kuti Mulungu anakonzeratu kuti ndani amene adzawonongeke ndi amene sadzawonongeka. Ndi maganizo a Mpingo kuti Mulungu adzakonza chilungamo ndi chilungamo kwa onse amene sanalandire uthenga wabwino m'moyo uno. Anthu otere adzaweruzidwa mofanana ndi ife, mwachitsanzo, ngati aika chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Yesu Khristu.
