Uchimo ndi kusayeruzika, mkhalidwe wa kupandukira Mulungu. Kuyambira nthawi imene uchimo unabwera padziko lapansi kudzera mwa Adamu ndi Hava, munthu wakhala pansi pa goli la uchimo – goli limene lingachotsedwe ndi chisomo cha Mulungu kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Uchimo wa mtundu wa anthu umadzisonyeza m’chikhoterero cha kudziika mwini yekha ndi zofuna zake pamwamba pa Mulungu ndi chifuniro chake. Uchimo umachititsa kuti munthu asiyane ndi Mulungu komanso kuti azivutika ndiponso imfa. Chifukwa chakuti anthu onse ndi ochimwa, onse amafunikiranso chiwombolo chimene Mulungu amapereka kudzera mwa Mwana wake. (1. Johannes 3,4; Aroma 5,12; 7,24-25; Mark 7,21-23; Agalatiya 5,19-21; Aroma 6,23; 3,23-24)

Kupereka vuto lauchimo kwa Mulungu

“Chabwino, ndamva: mwazi wa Khristu umafafaniza machimo onse. Ndipo ndikuzindikiranso kuti palibe chowonjezera pamenepo. Koma ndili ndi funso linanso limodzi: ngati Mulungu wandikhululukira machimo anga onse, akale ndi amtsogolo, chifukwa cha Khristu, ndi chiyani chingandiletse ine kuti ndisapitirire kuchimwa mpaka kukhutitsidwa ndi mtima wanga? Ndikutanthauza, kodi lamulo lopanda tanthauzo kwa Akhristu? Kodi tsopano Mulungu amandinyalanyaza ndikachimwa? Kodi sakufunadi kuti ndisiye kuchimwa?” Amenewo ndi mafunso anayi – ndi ofunika kwambiri pamenepo. Tiyeni tiyang'ane pa iwo mmodzimmodzi - mwinamwake padzakhala ena.

Machimo athu onse akhululukidwa

Choyamba, mudati mumvetsetsa kuti magazi a Khristu adzathetsa machimo onse. Imeneyi ndi njira yofunikira. Akhristu ambiri sazindikira izi. Amakhulupirira kuti kukhululukidwa kwa machimo ndi bizinesi, mtundu wamalonda pakati pa munthu ndi Mulungu, momwe munthu amakhalira woopa Mulungu ndipo Atate Wakumwamba amalonjeza chikhululukiro ndi chiwombolo, titero kunena kwake.

Malinga ndi kalingaliridwe aka, mwachitsanzo, mumagwiritsa ntchito chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Yesu Khristu ndipo Mulungu amakulipirani chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito magazi a Mwana wake kufafaniza machimo anu. Chizindikiro cha tat. Icho chingakhale chinthu chabwino, komabe ndichinthu, mgwirizano ndipo sichinthu choyera cha chisomo monga momwe uthenga wabwino ukulengezera. Malinga ndi lingaliro ili, anthu ambiri ali pachiwopsezo chifukwa akuchedwa ndi kudzipereka kwawo ndipo Mulungu amangopereka magazi a Yesu kwa ochepa - mwina satumikira chipulumutso cha dziko lonse lapansi.

Koma matchalitchi ambiri sathera pamenepo. Okhulupirira othekera amakokedwa ku lonjezo la chipulumutso mwa chisomo chokha; atangolowa mu mpingo, komabe, wokhulupirira amakumana ndi mndandanda wa zitsogozo malinga ndi zomwe khalidwe losatsatira likhoza kulangidwa bwino ndi kuchotsedwa - osati mu mpingo mokha komanso mwina ngakhale kuchokera ku ufumu wa Mulungu weniweniwo. Mochuluka chifukwa chopulumutsidwa mwa chisomo.

Ngakhale kuti palidi chifukwa, malinga ndi kunena kwa Baibulo, kuthamangitsa munthu mu chiyanjano cha Mpingo (koma osati mu Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndithudi), imeneyo ndi nkhani yosiyana. Pakadali pano tikufuna kusiya mawu akuti m'magulu achipembedzo nthawi zambiri munthu sakonda kukhala ndi ochimwa pozungulira, pomwe uthenga wabwino umawatsegulira khomo.

Malinga ndi Uthenga Wabwino, Yesu Khristu ndi chiwombolo osati cha machimo athu okha, komanso machimo adziko lonse lapansi (1. Johannes 2,2). Ndipo kuti, mosiyana ndi zimene Akristu ambiri akuuzidwa ndi alaliki awo, zimatanthauza kuti iye analidi ndi mlandu wa aliyense wa iwo.

Yesu anati: “Ndipo ine, ndikadzakwezedwa kudziko lapansi, ndidzakokera anthu onse kwa Ine.” ( Yoh2,32). Yesu ndi Mulungu Mwana amene kudzera mwa iye zonse zilipo (Aheberi 1,2-3) ndi amene mwazi wake umagwirizanitsadi zonse zimene adalenga (Akolose 1,20).

Ndi chisomo chokha

Munanenanso kuti mukudziwa kuti makonzedwe omwe Mulungu wakupangirani mwa Khristu sangasinthidwe kukhala mwayi wanu potenga nawo mbali. Mwa ichi, inunso, muli ndi zambiri patsogolo pa ena. Dziko ladzaza ndi alaliki amakhalidwe abwino omenya machimo, omwe amatumiza otsatira awo owopseza sabata ndi sabata panjira yopangidwa ndi zolakwika, momwe akuyenera kukumana ndi zochitika zina zapadera ndi zosiyidwa komanso omvera kapena osamvera iwo nthawi zonse amang'amba kuleza mtima kwa Mulungu komwe kukuwopseza, komwe gulu lonselo lomvetsa chisoni limadziwona lokha likuwonekeratu kuti lili pachiwopsezo chodzazunzika ndi moto kumoto ngati cholephera mwauzimu.

Koma uthenga wabwino umalengeza kuti Mulungu amakonda anthu. Iye sakumutsatira iye kapena kumutsutsa iye. Sayembekezera kuti apunthwe ndiyeno nkuwaphwanya ngati mbozi. M’malo mwake, iye ali kumbali yake ndipo amam’konda kwambiri kotero kuti kupyolera mwa Chiwombolo cha Mwana wake wamasula anthu ku uchimo wonse, kulikonse kumene angakhale.” ( Yoh. 3,16).

Mwa Khristu khomo la ufumu wa Mulungu ndi lotseguka. Anthu akhoza kukhulupirira (kukhulupirira) mawu a Mulungu, kutembenukira kwa iwo (kulapa) ndi kulandira cholowa choperekedwa mowolowa manja kwa iwo - kapena angapitirize kukana Mulungu monga Atate wawo ndi kunyoza udindo wawo m'banja la Mulungu. Wamphamvuyonse amatipatsa ufulu wosankha. Tikamukana, iye adzalemekeza zimene tasankha. Zosankha zimene timapanga si zimene tinayenera kuchita, koma zimatipatsa ufulu wodzisankhira tokha.

Mulungu watichitira zonse zimene tingathe kuziganizira. Mwa Khristu anati “inde” kwa ife. Tsopano zili kwa ife kuyankha “inde” wake ndi “inde” kumbali yathu. Koma Baibulo limasonyeza kuti, chodabwitsa n’chakuti pali anthu amene amayankha kuti “ayi” pa zimene wapereka. Ndi anthu osaopa Mulungu, odana ndi Mulungu, amene amatsutsana ndi Wamphamvuyonse ndipo amadzitsutsa okha.

Pomaliza, amati akudziwa njira yabwinoko; safuna Atate wawo Wakumwamba. Iwo salemekeza Mulungu kapena munthu. Kudzipereka kwake kuti atikhululukire machimo athu onse ndikudalitsika ndi iye kwamuyaya sikuyenera kuyipitsidwa pamaso pawo, koma kutonza - kopanda tanthauzo kapena phindu. Mulungu, yemwe adaperekanso Mwana wake chifukwa cha iwo, amangoyang'ana chisankho chawo choyipa chokhala ana a mdierekezi, amene amakonda Mulungu koposa iwo.

Iye ndiye Wotiwombola osati wowononga. Ndipo chilichonse chimene amachita sichikugwirizana ndi chifuniro chake - ndipo amatha kuchita zomwe akufuna. Sakamangidwa ndi malamulo akunja, koma mwa kufuna kwake amakhalabe osasinthika pachikondi chake cholongosoka ndi lonjezo lake. Iye ndi yemwe iye ali ndipo ali ndendende yemwe akufuna kukhala; ndiye Mulungu wathu wodzala ndi chisomo, chowonadi ndi kukhulupirika. Amatikhululukira machimo athu chifukwa amatikonda. Umu ndi momwe amafunira, ndipo ndi momwe ziriri.

Palibe lamulo lomwe likanakhoza kupulumutsa

Palibe lamulo limene lingatifikitse ku moyo wosatha (Agalatiya 3,21). Anthufe sitimvera malamulo basi. Titha kutsutsana tsiku lonse ngati titha kukhala omvera malamulo, koma pamapeto pake sititero. Zinali choncho m’mbuyomu ndipo zidzakhala choncho m’tsogolo. Munthu yekhayo amene akanatha kuchita zimenezi anali Yesu yekha.

Pali njira imodzi yokha yopezera chipulumutso, ndiyo kudzera mu mphatso ya Mulungu, imene tingalandire popanda quid pro quo kapena mikhalidwe ( Aefeso. 2,8-10). Mofanana ndi mphatso ina iliyonse, tikhoza kuilandira kapena kuikana. Chilichonse chomwe tingasankhe, ndi chathu mwa chisomo cha Mulungu chokha, koma chidzatibweretsera phindu ndi chisangalalo ngati tivomereza. Ndi nkhani ya kukhulupirirana basi. Timakhulupilira Mulungu ndipo timatembenukira kwa iye.

Kumbali inayi, ngati tili opusa mokwanira kukana izi, zachisoni momwe ziliri, tidzapitilizabe kukhala mumdima wathu wosankha waimfa, ngati kuti chikho chagolide chomwe chidatipatsa kuwunika ndi moyo sichinaperekedwepo.

Gahena - chisankho

Aliyense amene angasankhe mwanjira imeneyi n’kukana Mulungu monyozera mphatso imene siingathe kugulidwa—mphatso imene ilipiridwa kwambiri ndi magazi a mwana wake amene zonse zilipo – sasankha chilichonse koma gehena. Ngakhale zivute zitani, zimene Mulungu anapereka za moyo umene wagulidwa kwambiri zimagwira ntchito kwa anthu amene amasankha njira imeneyi komanso amene amalandira mphatso yake. Mwazi wa Yesu umachotsera machimo onse, osati ena okha (Akolose 1,20). Chitetezero chake ndi cha zolengedwa zonse, osati gawo chabe.

Iwo amene amakana mphatso yotere amangopewa mwayi wolowera ku ufumu wa Mulungu chifukwa adzisankhira okha. Iwo safuna kutenga nawo gawo mmenemo, ndipo ngakhale Mulungu sasiya kuwakonda, sadzalekerera kukhala kwawo komweko, kuti angawononge phwando losatha lachimwemwe ndi kunyada, chidani ndi kusakhulupirira komwe amalambira. Chifukwa chake amapita komwe angafune - molunjika ku gehena, komwe kulibe amene amasangalala kuwononga kudzikonda kwawo kopanda tanthauzo.

Chisomo choperekedwa mosaganizira - ndi nkhani yabwino bwanji! Ngakhale sitiyenera, Mulungu anasankha kutipatsa moyo wosatha mwa Mwana wake. Khulupirirani kapena kunyoza. Chilichonse chomwe tingasankhe, chinthu chimodzi ndichowona kwamuyaya: Ndi imfa ndi kuukitsidwa kwa Yesu Khristu, Mulungu watiwonetsa mwachindunji momwe amatikondera komanso momwe angatikhululukire ife ndi machimo athu kuti timuyanjanitse.

Mwaulere, mchikondi chosatha, amapereka chisomo chake kwa aliyense kulikonse. Mulungu amatipanga ife mphatso ya chipulumutso kuchokera mu chisomo chenicheni ndipo osapempha chilichonse kuti tibwezeredwe, ndipo zowonadi kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira mawu ake ndikuwalandira monga momwe angafunire akhoza kusangalala nawo.

Nchiyani chikundilepheretsa?

Pakadali pano, zili bwino. Tsopano tibwerera ku mafunso anu. Ngati Mulungu wandikhululukira machimo anga ngakhale ndisanachite, ndi chiyani chingandilepheretse kuchimwa momwe ndingathere?

Choyamba, tiyeni titenge china chake molunjika. Tchimo limachokera mumtima ndipo sikuti limangokhala zolakwika zingapo. Machimo samachokera kwina kulikonse; amachokera mumitima yathu yowuma. Chifukwa chake kuthetsa vuto lathu lauchimo kumafunikira mtima wokhazikika, ndipo izi zimafunikira kufikira muzu wamavuto m'malo mongochiritsa zotsatira zake.

Mulungu alibe chidwi ndi maloboti okhazikika nthawi zonse. Amafuna kusunga ubale ndi ife womwe uzikika pa chikondi. Amatikonda. Ichi ndichifukwa chake Khristu anabwera kudzatipulumutsa. Ndipo maubale amachokera pakukhululukirana ndi chisomo - osakakamizidwa kutsatira.

Mwachitsanzo, ngati ndikufuna kuti mkazi wanga azindikonda, kodi ndimamukakamiza kuti azinamizira? Ndikadatero, machitidwe anga atha kubweretsa kutsata, koma sizingamupangitse kuti andikondedi. Chikondi sichingakakamizike. Mutha kukakamiza anthu kuti azichita zinthu zina.

Kupyolera mu kudzipereka, Mulungu anatisonyeza mmene amatikondera. Iye wasonyeza chikondi chake chachikulu kudzera mu chikhululukiro ndi chisomo. Mwa kuvutika chifukwa cha machimo athu m’malo mwa ife, anasonyeza kuti palibe chimene chingatilekanitse ndi chikondi chake (Aroma 8,38).

Mulungu amafuna ana, osati akapolo. Amafuna pangano la chikondi ndi ife osati dziko lodzala ndi ma dodger ogonjera. Adatipanga zolengedwa zaulere, kutipatsa ufulu weniweni wosankha - ndipo zosankha zathu zimatanthauza zambiri kwa iye. Amafuna kuti timusankhe.

Ufulu weniweni

Mulungu amatipatsa ufulu wakuchita monga momwe timafunira ndikutikhululukira zolakwa zathu. Amachita izi mwa kufuna kwake. Umu ndi momwe amafunira, ndipo ndi momwe zimachitikira, osanyengerera. Ndipo ngakhale titakhala ndi chidziwitso pang'ono, timazindikira tanthauzo la chikondi chake ndikumugwira ngati kuti lero ndi tsiku lomaliza.

Nanga n’chiyani chiyenera kutilepheretsa kuchimwa mwaufulu? Palibe. Ayi ndithu. Ndipo sizinayambe zakhala zosiyana. Lamulo silinaletse aliyense kuchimwa pamene anafuna (Agalatiya 3,21-22). Ndipo kotero ife takhala tikuchimwa nthawi zonse, ndipo Mulungu walola nthawi zonse. Iye sanatiletse ife. Iye savomereza zimene tikuchita. Ndipo sayang'ana ngakhale mwakachetechete. Iye samavomereza izo. Inde, zimamupweteka. Ndipo komabe iye nthawizonse amalola izo. Umenewo umatchedwa ufulu.

Mwa Khristu

Baibulo likamanena kuti tili ndi chilungamo mwa Khristu, limatanthauzidwa chimodzimodzi monga momwe liliri (1. Akorinto 1,30; Afilipi 3,9).

Tili ndi chilungamo pamaso pa Mulungu osati mwa ife tokha, koma mwa Khristu. Tinafa tokha chifukwa cha uchimo, koma nthawi yomweyo tili amoyo mwa Khristu - moyo wathu wabisika mwa Khristu (Akolose. 3,3).

Popanda Khristu mkhalidwe wathu ulibe chiyembekezo; popanda iye tinagulitsidwa pansi pa uchimo ndipo tiribe tsogolo. Koma Khristu anatipulumutsa. Uwu ndiye uthenga wabwino - wabwino bwanji! Kudzera mu chipulumutso chake, ngati titalandira mphatso yake, tidzakwaniritsa ubale watsopano ndi Mulungu.

Chifukwa cha zonse zimene Mulungu mwa Khristu watichitira – kuphatikizapo chilimbikitso, ngakhale kulimbikitsa, kumukhulupirira – Khristu tsopano ali mwa ife. Ndipo chifukwa cha Khristu (chifukwa amatiyimira; amaukitsa akufa), ngakhale kuti ndife akufa chifukwa cha uchimo, tili olungama pamaso pa Mulungu, ndipo timalandiridwa ndi Iye. Ndipo zonsezi zimachitika kuyambira kuchiyambi mpaka kumapeto, osati kudzera mwa ife, koma kudzera mwa Mulungu, amene amatigonjetsa osati mwa kukakamiza, koma mwa chikondi chake, chimene chimafika ku nsonga ya kudzimana, monga momwe chimaonekera m’kupereka. za iye mwini.

Kodi Chilamulo Chilibe tanthauzo?

Paulo anamveketsa bwino lomwe tanthauzo la chilamulo. Zimatisonyeza kuti ndife ochimwa (Aroma 7,7). Zimasonyeza kuti tinali mu ukapolo ku uchimo kuti tikayesedwe olungama ndi chikhulupiriro pamene Khristu anadza (Agalatiya). 3,19-27 ndi).

Tsopano tiyeni tiganizire kwakanthawi kuti mwakumana ndi chiweruzo chomaliza pamwambowu
Dzitsimikizireni nokha kuti mutha kuyima pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa kuyesetsa kwanu konse kwakhala kumvera Atate wakumwamba. Ndipo kotero, m'malo movala chovala chaukwati chosungidwa pakhomo (chovala chaulere, choyera chopangidwira anthu oipitsidwa ndi uchimo omwe akudziwa kuti akufunikira), atavala zovala zanu za tsiku ndi tsiku, zomwe zakhala zikudziwika bwino ndi nthawi zonse. khama, inu kudutsa khomo kumbali kutenga malo anu pa tebulo, wanu wonyansa fungo ndi inu sitepe iliyonse ya njira.

Mwiniwako wa nyumbayo adzakufunsani kuti, “Hey, mwapeza kuti nyonga yobwera kuno kudzandichitira chipongwe ndi zovala zanu zonyansa pamaso pa alendo anga onse?” ndi kum’ponya panja!

Mophweka, sitingathe kutsuka nkhope yathu yakuda ndi madzi athu akuda, sopo wathu wonyansa ndi nsalu yathu yakutsuka tokha patokha ndikupita mokondwera panjira yathu, molakwika poganiza kuti nkhope yathu yakuda mopanda chiyembekezo tsopano ndi yoyera. Pali njira imodzi yokha yogonjetsera tchimo ndipo ili mmanja mwathu.

Tisaiwale kuti ndife akufa chifukwa cha uchimo (Aroma 8,10), ndipo akufa sangakhale, mwa kutanthauzira, kukhala ndi moyo. M’malo mwake, malingaliro athu owonjezereka a liwongo ayenera kutisonkhezera kukhulupirira kuti Yesu adzatisambitsa kutichotsa ku uchimo wathu (1. Peter 5,10-11 ndi).

Mulungu amafuna kuti tikhale opanda tchimo

Mulungu watipatsa chisomo ndi chiombolo chochuluka kuti atipulumutse ku uchimo osati kutipatsa ufulu wopitiriza kuchimwa mwakufuna kwathu. Izi sizimangomasula ife ku kulakwa kwa uchimo, komanso zimatithandiza kuona uchimo wamaliseche monga momwe uliri, osati muzokongoletsa zokongola zomwe zidapangidwa kuti zitinyenge. Ndipo kotero ife tikhoza kuzindikira ndi kugwedeza mphamvu yake yachinyengo ndi yodzikuza yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito pa ife. Ngakhale zili choncho, nsembe yochotsera machimo ya Yesu imakhalabe chifukwa cha ife – ngakhale tikupitiriza kuchimwa, chimene tikuyenera kuchita – kuyima popanda kunyengerera (1. Johannes 2,1-2 ndi).

Mulungu samangoyang'ana mwakachetechete machimo athu, koma amangowatsutsa. Iye savomereza njira zathu zodzisungira, zopanda nzeru mofananamo monga momwe timakhalira osagwirizana ndi kulingalira kwathu kapena kupupuluma kwathu kotheratu ku ziyeso za mtundu uliwonse, kuchokera ku mkwiyo mpaka kukhumbira kunyoza ndi kunyada. Nthawi zambiri zimatilola kuti tizinyamula zotsatira zathupi patokha.

Komabe, satitsekera ife, amene timaika chikhulupiriro chathu ndi chidaliro mwa iye (kutanthauza kuti timavala chovala chaukwati choyera chimene watisungira) (monga momwe alaliki ena amawonekera) chifukwa cha zosankha zoipa zomwe timapanga , phwando laukwati wake.

Kuvomereza kulakwa

Kachiŵirinso m’moyo wanu, kodi mwawona kuti chikumbumtima chanu chikuvutitsa chikumbumtima chanu kufikira mutaulula cholakwa chanu kwa Mulungu? (Ndipo mwina pali ena omwe muyenera kupita kukaulula pafupipafupi.)

N’chifukwa chiyani amachita zimenezi? Kodi n’chifukwa chakuti mwatsimikiza mtima ‘kuchimwa mokhutitsidwa ndi mtima wanu kuyambira tsopano’? Kapena kodi ndizotheka chifukwa mtima wanu uli mwa Khristu ndipo, molingana ndi Mzimu Woyera wokhalamo, mukumva chisoni kwambiri mpaka mutakhala bwino ndi Ambuye wanu?

Mzimu Woyera wokhalamo, umatchedwa mu Aroma 8,1517 “Kuchitira umboni mzimu wathu kuti ndife ana a Mulungu”. Pochita izi, musaiwale mfundo ziwiri: 1. Inu ndinu, Mzimu Woyera wa Mulungu mwini akuchitira umboni, mwa Khristu ndi oyera mtima onse, mwana wa Atate wathu wa Kumwamba, ndi 2. Mzimu Woyera, monga mboni yanu yokhazikika ya inu weniweni, sadzapuma kuti akudzutseni inu ngati mukufuna kupitiriza kukhala ndi moyo monga ngati mudakali “thupi lakufa” monga musanayambe chiombolo chanu mwa Yesu Khristu.

Osalakwitsa! Tchimo ndi mdani wa Mulungu komanso mdani wanu, ndipo tiyenera kulimbana nalo kufikira mwazi. Potero, sitiyenera kukhulupirira kuti chipulumutso chathu chimadalira momwe timalalikirira motsutsana nawo. Chipulumutso chathu chimadalira kupambana kwa Khristu pauchimo, ndipo Ambuye wathu watinyamula kale. Tchimo ndi imfa yomwe zidaphimba izi zidagonjetsedwa kale ndi imfa ndi kuuka kwa Yesu, ndipo mphamvu yochokera pakupambana kumeneku ikuwonetsedwa mu chilengedwe chonse kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka muyaya. Okha mdziko lapansi omwe agonjetsa tchimo ndi iwo omwe ali ndi chikhulupiriro cholimba kuti Khristu ndiye kuuka kwawo ndi moyo wawo.

Ntchito zabwino

Mulungu amasangalala ndi ntchito zabwino za ana ake (Salimo 14).7,11; epiphany 8,4). Amakondwera ndi kukoma mtima ndi kukoma mtima kumene timasonyezana wina ndi mnzake, nsembe zathu zachikondi, changu chathu pa chilungamo, kuona mtima ndi mtendere (Aheb. 6,10).

Mofanana ndi ntchito ina iliyonse yabwino, izi zimachokera ku ntchito ya Mzimu Woyera mwa ife, amene amatilimbikitsa kudalira, kukonda ndi kulemekeza Mulungu. Iwo ali olumikizidwa mosalekeza ku ubale wachikondi womwe adalowamo ndi ife kudzera mu imfa yansembe ndi kuuka kwa Yesu Khristu, Ambuye wa moyo. Ntchito zotere ndi ntchito zotere zimachokera ku ntchito ya Mulungu mwa ife, amene tiri ana ake okondedwa, ndipo chotero sizikhala chabe.1. Korinto 15,58).

Ntchito ya Mulungu mwa ife

Changu chathu choona chochita chomwe chimakondweretsa Mulungu chimawonetsa chikondi cha Mpulumutsi wathu, koma sizinthu zathu zabwino zomwe timachita mdzina lake zomwe zimatipulumutsa. Kumbuyo kwa chilungamo chomwe chimawonetsedwa m'mawu athu ndi zochita zathu zomwe zimamvera malamulo a Mulungu, kuyimilira Mulungu Mwiniwake, yemwe amagwira ntchito mokondwera ndi moyenera mwa ife kubala zipatso zabwino.

Choncho kungakhale kupusa kufuna kudziona ngati mmene timachitira zinthu mwa ife. Kungakhale kupusa mofananamo kuganiza kuti mwazi wa Yesu, umene umafafaniza machimo onse, udzalola kuti uchimo wathu wina upitirire. Pakuti tikadaganiza choncho, sitikadakhalabe kudziwa kuti Mulungu wamuyaya, wamphamvuyonse wa utatuyu ndi ndani – Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera – amene analenga zonse ndipo mu kuwolowa manja kwake anatiwombola ndi mwazi wa Mwana wake, Mzimu Woyera amakhala ife ndi kukonzanso chilengedwe chonse, inde kuti timagawana ndi chilengedwe chonse (Yesaya 6).5,17) adalengedwanso chifukwa cha chikondi chachikulu chosaneneka (2. Akorinto 5,17).

Moyo woona

Ngakhale Mulungu amatilamula kuti tichite chabwino ndi chabwino, Iye samapereka chipulumutso chathu malinga ndi ngongole ndi mbiri. Zomwe zili zabwino kwa ifenso, chifukwa ngati akanatero tonsefe tikhoza kukanidwa ngati osakwanira.

Mulungu amatipulumutsa ndi chisomo ndipo tikhoza kusangalala ndi chipulumutso kudzera mwa iye pamene tiika moyo wathu wonse m’manja mwake ndi kutembenukira kwa iye ndi kukhulupirira kuti iye yekha adzatiukitsa kwa akufa (Aefeso. 2,4-10; James 4,10).

Chipulumutso chathu chimatsimikiziridwa ndi Uyo amene amalemba mayina a anthu m’buku la moyo, ndipo walemba kale mayina a ife tonse m’buku limenelo ndi mwazi wa Mwanawankhosa ( NW )1. Johannes 2,2). Nzomvetsa chisoni kwambiri kuti ena safuna kukhulupirira zimenezi; pakuti ngati adalira Ambuye wa moyo akadazindikira kuti moyo umene akuyesetsa kuupulumutsa suli moyo weniweni nkomwe, koma imfa, ndi kuti moyo wawo weniweni ndi Khristu mwa Mulungu wabisika ndipo akungoyembekezera kuwululidwa. Atate wathu wa Kumwamba amakonda ngakhale adani ake, ndipo amafuna kuti iwo, mofanana ndi anthu anzawo, atembenukire kwa iye ndi kulowa mu chisangalalo cha ufumu wake (1 Tim. 2,4. 6).

chidule

Ndiye tiyeni tifotokoze mwachidule. Iwo anafunsa kuti: “Ngati, chifukwa cha Kristu, Mulungu wandikhululukira kotheratu machimo anga onse, akale ndi a m’tsogolo, n’chiyani chingandiletse kupitirizabe kuchimwa mpaka kukhutitsidwa ndi mtima wanga? Ndikutanthauza, kodi lamulo lopanda tanthauzo kwa Akhristu? Kodi tsopano Mulungu amandinyalanyaza ndikachimwa? Safuna kuti ndisiye kuchimwa?

Palibe chomwe chingatilepheretse kuchimwa mwadala. Sizinakhalepo zosiyana. Mulungu watipatsa ufulu wakudzisankhira ndipo amaika patsogolo kufunika kwake. Amatikonda ndipo amafuna kulowa m'pangano lachikondi ndi ife; Koma ubale wotere umangobwera ngati ungachitike posankha mwaulere kutengera kukhulupirirana ndi kukhululukirana osati kubwera chifukwa choopsezedwa kapena kukakamizidwa kutsatira.

Sitife maloboti kapena mawonekedwe aliwonse mumasewera omwe adakonzedweratu. Tinalengedwa ndi Mulungu mwaufulu, ndipo ubale pakati pa ife ndi iye ulipodi.

Lamulo ndilopanda tanthauzo; amagwiritsidwa ntchito kutiwonetsera kwa ife kuti ndife ochimwa ndipo, chifukwa chake, sitigwirizana ndi chifuniro changwiro cha Mulungu. Wamphamvuyonse amavomereza kuti timachimwa, koma iye samangoiwala. Chifukwa chake, sanaope ngakhale kudzipereka kuti atipulumutse ku machimo. Ndi zomwe zimatipweteka ife ndi anthu anzathu kupweteka ndikutiwononga. Zimachokera mumtima wowuma wosakhulupirira komanso kuwukira kwadyera motsutsana ndi gwero loyambirira la moyo wathu ndi kukhalapo kwathu. Zimatilanda ife mphamvu yakutembenukira ku moyo weniweni, kumoyo weniweni, ndipo zimatipangitsa kutsekerezedwa mu mdima waimfa ndi kusowa kanthu.

Tchimo limapweteka

Ngati simunazindikire, tchimo limapweteka ngati gehena—kwenikweni—chifukwa mwa chikhalidwe chake, ndi gahena weniweni. Chotero, poyerekezera, “chimo lokhutitsidwa ndi mtima wanu” limakhala lanzeru mofanana ndi kumata dzanja lanu mu chotchera udzu. "Chabwino," ndinamva wina akunena, "ngati takhululukidwa kale, tikhoza kuchita chigololo."

Zachidziwikire, ngati mulibe nazo chiyembekezo chokhala mumantha nthawi zonse za zomwe zingachitike, kuwonetsedwa pachiwopsezo chokhala ndi pakati kapena matenda ena opatsirana pogonana, komanso kuswa mtima wa banja lanu, kudziwonetsera nokha, kutaya anzanu Kutuluka magazi kuti athandizire ana, kuvutitsidwa ndi chikumbumtima, komanso kuyeneranso kuthana ndi amuna, chibwenzi, mchimwene kapena bambo okwiya kwambiri.

Tchimo limakhala ndi zotsatirapo zake, zoyipa zoyipa, ndipo ndichifukwa chake Mulungu amagwira ntchito mwa iwe kuti ugwirizane ndi chifanizo cha Khristu. Mutha kumvera mawu ake ndikugwira nanu ntchito kapena mutha kupitiriza kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zanu kuchita zinthu zoyipa.

Komanso, tisaiwale kuti machimo amene timawaganizira kaŵirikaŵiri tikamalankhula za “kuchimwa mwakufuna kwake” ndi nsonga chabe ya madzi oundana. Nanga bwanji “tikamachita zinthu mwadyera, mwadyera, kapena mwankhanza? Tikasonyeza kusayamika, kunena zinthu zoipa, kapena osathandiza pamene tiyenera kutero? Nanga bwanji za mkwiyo wathu kwa ena, nsanje ndi ntchito yawo, zovala, galimoto, kapena nyumba, kapena malingaliro oipa omwe timasunga? Nanga bwanji za katundu wa muofesi wa bwana wathu, mmene timalemeretsamo, kuloŵerera kwathu m’miseche, kapena kunyozetsa mnzathu kapena ana athu? Ndipo kotero ife tikhoza kumapitirira mwakufuna.

Amenewo ndi machimonso, ena aakulu, enanso ang'onoang'ono, ndipo mukuganiza chiyani? Tidzapitirizabe kuchita zimene tikufuna. Choncho ndi bwino kuti Mulungu amatipulumutsa ndi chisomo osati ntchito zathu, sichoncho? Sichabwino kwa ife kuchimwa, koma sizimatilepheretsa kupitiriza kukhala olakwa. Mulungu safuna kuti tizichimwa, komabe amadziwa bwino kuposa ife kuti ndife akufa chifukwa cha uchimo ndipo tidzapitirizabe kuchimwa mpaka moyo wathu weniweni wobisika mwa Khristu – woomboledwa ndi wopanda uchimo – udzawululidwa pa kubweranso kwake (Akolose. 3,4).

Kukhala wamoyo ngati wochimwa mwa Khristu

Ndi chifukwa cha chisomo ndi mphamvu zopanda malire za Mulungu wathu wamoyo wamuyaya ndi wachikondi chamuyaya kuti tapatsidwa mowolowa manja kuti okhulupirira ali akufa modabwitsa chifukwa cha uchimo koma ali ndi moyo mwa Yesu Khristu (Aroma 5,12; 6,4-11). Ngakhale kuti tachimwa, sitiyendanso njira ya imfa chifukwa timakhulupirira kuuka kwathu mwa Khristu ndipo tavomereza chifukwa cha ife (Aroma 8,10-11; Aefeso 2,3-6). Pa kubweranso kwa Khristu, pamene ngakhale chipolopolo chathu chakufa chidzapeza moyo wosafa, chidzakwaniritsidwa (1. Korinto 15,52-53).

Koma osakhulupirira akupitiriza kuyenda m’njira ya imfa, osatha kusangalala ndi moyo wobisika mwa Khristu (Akolose 3,3mpaka nawonso atakhulupirira; mwazi wa Kristu udzathetsanso uchimo wawo, koma iwo adzakhala okhoza kukhulupirira kuti iye adzawapulumutsa iwo kwa akufa ngati iwo angakhulupirire mbiri yabwino yakuti iye ndiye mpulumutsi wawo ndi kutembenukira kwa iye. Choncho osakhulupirira ndi oomboledwa monga okhulupirira – Khristu anafera anthu onse (1 Yoh 2,2) - sanadziwebe, ndipo chifukwa chakuti sakhulupirira zomwe sakudziwa, akupitirizabe kukhala ndi mantha a imfa ( Ahebri. 2,14-15) ndi m’ntchito yopanda pake m’mawonekedwe ake onse abodza (Aefeso 2,3).

Mzimu Woyera amapanga okhulupirira mu chifanizo cha Khristu (Aroma 8,29). Mwa Khristu mphamvu ya uchimo yathyoledwa ndipo sitilinso mumsampha mmenemo. Ngakhale zili choncho, ndife ofooka ndipo timapereka mpata ku uchimo (Aroma 7,14-29; Ahebri 12,1).

Chifukwa amatikonda, Mulungu amasamala za kuchimwa kwathu. Amakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti adatumiza Mwana wake Wosatha kuti onse amene amamukhulupirira asakhale mumdima wa imfa, womwe ndi chipatso cha uchimo, koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha mwa iye. Palibe chomwe chingakulekanitseni inu ndi chikondi chake, ngakhale machimo anu. Khulupirirani iye! Adzakuthandizani kuyenda momvera ndikukhululukirani machimo anu onse. Iye ndi Mpulumutsi wanu mwakufuna kwake, ndipo amachita bwino kwambiri.
