Chipulumutso

Chipulumutso ndicho kubwezeretsedwa kwa chiyanjano cha munthu ndi Mulungu ndi chiombolo cha chilengedwe chonse ku ukapolo wa uchimo ndi imfa. Mulungu amapereka chipulumutso osati ku moyo uno wokha, komanso kwa muyaya kwa munthu aliyense amene avomereza Yesu Khristu ngati Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi. Chipulumutso ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu, yotheka mwa chisomo, yoperekedwa pamaziko a chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Kristu, osati yoyenerera ndi mapindu aumwini kapena ntchito zabwino. ( Aefeso 2,4-10; 1. Akorinto 1,9; Aroma 8,21-23; 6,18.22-23)

Chipulumutso - ntchito yopulumutsa!

Chipulumutso, chiwombolo ndi ntchito yopulumutsa. Kuti tiyandikire lingaliro la chipulumutso tiyenera kudziwa zinthu zitatu: vuto linali chiyani; zimene Mulungu anachita pa izo; ndi momwe tiyenera kuyankhira kwa izo.

Munthu ndi chiyani

Pamene Mulungu analenga munthu, anam’lenga “m’cifanizilo cake,” ndipo anachula zolengedwa zake kuti “zabwino kwambili.”1. Cunt 1,2627 ndi 31). Munthu anali cholengedwa chodabwitsa: chopangidwa ndi fumbi, koma chokhala ndi moyo ndi mpweya wa Mulungu (1. Cunt 2,7).

“Chifaniziro cha Mulungu” mwina chimaphatikizapo luntha, mphamvu zolenga ndi ulamuliro pa chilengedwe. Komanso kuthekera kolowera mu ubale ndikupanga zisankho zamakhalidwe abwino. M’njira zina timakhala ngati Mulungu mwiniyo chifukwa chakuti Mulungu ali ndi cholinga chapadera kwambiri kwa ife, ana ake.

Buku la Mose limatiuza kuti anthu oyambirira anachita zimene Mulungu anawaletsa (1. Cunt 3,1-13). Kusamvera kwawo kunasonyeza kuti sanakhulupirire Mulungu; ndipo kunali kuphwanya chikhulupiriro chake mwa iye. Kusakhulupirira kudasokoneza ubalewo ndipo kulephera kuchita zomwe Mulungu adafuna kwa iwo. Zotsatira zake zinali zakuti adataya ena mwa kufanana kwawo ndi Mulungu. Chotsatira, anati Mulungu, chidzakhala: kulimbana, zowawa ndi imfa (vv. 16-19). Ngati sanafune kutsatira malangizo a Mlengi, anayenera kudutsa m’chigwa cha misozi.

Munthu ndi wolemekezeka komanso wankhanza nthawi yomweyo. Titha kukhala ndi malingaliro apamwamba ndikukhala ankhanza. Ndife onga Mulungu koma osapembedza. Sitirinso “m’lingaliro la woyambitsa”. Ngakhale kuti “tadziipitsa” tokha, Mulungu amationabe kuti tinapangidwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu.1. Cunt 9,6). Kuthekera kokhala ngati Mulungu kudakalipo. N’chifukwa chake Mulungu amafuna kutipulumutsa, n’chifukwa chake amafuna kutiombola ndi kubwezeretsa ubale umene anali nawo ndi ife.

Mulungu akufuna kutipatsa moyo wosatha, wopanda zowawa, moyo waubwenzi wabwino ndi Mulungu ndi wina ndi mnzake. Amafuna kuti luntha lathu, luso lathu komanso mphamvu zathu zigwiritsidwe ntchito pa zabwino. Iye amafuna kuti tikhale ngati iye, kuti ndife abwino kuposa anthu oyambirira. Ndicho chipulumutso.

Mtima wa dongosolo

Kotero ife tikusowa kupulumutsidwa. Ndipo Mulungu anatipulumutsa – koma m’njira imene palibe amene akanayembekezera. Mwana wa Mulungu anakhala munthu, anakhala moyo wopanda uchimo, ndipo tinamupha iye. Ndipo chimenecho—atero Mulungu—ndi chipulumutso chimene ife tikufuna. Zodabwitsa bwanji! Timapulumutsidwa ndi wozunzidwa. Mlengi wathu adasandulika thupi kuti akhale m'malo mwa uchimo wathu. Mulungu anamuukitsa, ndipo kudzera mwa Yesu analonjeza kuti nafenso tidzaukitsidwa.

Imfa ndi kuuka kwa Yesu zikuyimira imfa ndi kuuka kwa anthu onse ndikupangitsa kuti zikhale zotheka poyamba. Imfa yake ndi imene kulephera kwathu ndi zolakwa zathu zikuyenera, ndipo monga Mlengi wathu, anachotsa zolakwa zathu zonse. Ngakhale kuti sanayenere kufa, iye anavomereza mofunitsitsa m’malo mwathu.

Yesu Khristu anatifera ife ndipo anaukitsidwa chifukwa cha ifenso (Aroma 4,25). Umunthu wathu wakale unafa naye pamodzi, ndipo munthu watsopano anaukitsidwa pamodzi ndi iye (Aroma 6,3-4). Ndi nsembe imodzi adapereka chilango cha machimo a "dziko lonse lapansi" (1. Johannes 2,2). Malipiro apangidwa kale; funso tsopano ndi momwe tingapindulire ndi izo. Kutengapo kwathu gawo mu dongosololi ndi kudzera mu kulapa ndi chikhulupiriro.

Kulapa

Yesu anabwera kudzaitana anthu kuti alape (Luka 5,32); ("Kulapa" nthawi zambiri amamasuliridwa ndi Luther monga "kulapa"). Petro anapempha kulapa ndi kutembenukira kwa Mulungu kuti akhululukidwe (Mac 2,38; 3,19). Paulo analimbikitsa anthu ‘kulapa kwa Mulungu.’ ( Machitidwe 20,21:1 , Baibulo la Elberfeld ). Kulapa kumatanthauza kusiya tchimo ndi kutembenukira kwa Mulungu. Paulo analalikira kwa Aatene kuti Mulungu ananyalanyaza kupembedza mafano kosadziŵa, koma tsopano “akulamulira anthu kulikonse kuti atembenuke mtima” (Machitidwe  Akor.7,30). Nena: “Muyenera kusiya kupembedza mafano.

Paulo ankada nkhawa kuti ena mwa Akhristu a ku Korinto sangalape machimo awo a dama.2. Korinto 12,21). Kwa anthu ameneŵa, kulapa kunatanthauza kufunitsitsa kuleka dama. Munthu, malinga ndi kunena kwa Paulo, ayenera “kuchita ntchito zolungama za kulapa” kutanthauza kuti atsimikizire chowonadi cha kulapa kwake mwa ntchito (Machitidwe 2)6,20). Timasintha maganizo athu ndi khalidwe lathu.

Maziko a chiphunzitso chathu ndi “kulapa ku ntchito zakufa” (Aheb 6,1). Izi sizikutanthauza ungwiro kuyambira pachiyambi - Mkristu si wangwiro (1 Yoh1,8). Kulapa sikutanthauza kuti takwaniritsa kale cholinga chathu, koma kuti tayamba kuyenda m’njira yoyenera.

Sitikhalanso ndi moyo kwa ife tokha, koma kwa Mpulumutsi Khristu (2. Akorinto 5,15; 1. Akorinto 6,20). Paulo anati: “Monga munapereka ziwalo zanu ku utumiki wa chidetso ndi chosalungama ku chosalungama chatsopano, momwemonso tsopano perekani ziwalo zanu ku utumiki wa chilungamo, kuti zikhale zopatulika.” 6,19).

Chikhulupiriro

Kungoyitana anthu kuti alape sikuwapulumutsabe ku kulakwa kwawo. Anthu akhala akuitanidwa kumvera kwa zaka zikwi zambiri, koma akusowabe chipulumutso. Chinthu chachiwiri chikufunika ndipo ndicho chikhulupiriro. Chipangano Chatsopano chimanena zambiri za chikhulupiriro kuposa kulapa (kulapa) – mawu otanthauza chikhulupiriro ndi ochuluka kuwirikiza kasanu ndi katatu.

Aliyense amene akhulupirira Yesu adzakhululukidwa (Mac 10,43). “Khulupirira mwa Ambuye Yesu, ndipo iwe ndi banja lako mudzapulumutsidwa” (Machitidwe 16,31.) Uthenga Wabwino “ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu imene imapulumutsa aliyense wokhulupirira” ( Aroma 1,16). Akhristu amatchulidwa kuti okhulupirira, osati olapa. Khalidwe lalikulu ndi chikhulupiriro.

Kodi "kukhulupirira" kumatanthauza chiyani - kuvomereza mfundo zina? Mawu achi Greek angatanthauze chikhulupiriro chotere, koma makamaka ali ndi tanthauzo lalikulu "kukhulupirira". Pamene Paulo akutiyitana ife kuti tikhulupirire mwa Khristu, iye sanali kutanthauza zenizeni. (Ngakhale mdierekezi amadziwa zoona zake za Yesu, koma sanapulumutsidwe.)

Tikamakhulupirira Yesu Khristu, timamukhulupirira. Tikudziwa kuti ndi wokhulupirika komanso wodalirika. Tingadalire kuti iye adzatisamalira, kutipatsa zimene walonjeza. Tikhoza kukhulupirira kuti Iye adzatipulumutsa ku mavuto aakulu a anthu. Tikamadalira iye kuti atipulumutse, timavomereza kuti tikufunikira thandizo ndipo iye akhoza kutithandiza.

Chikhulupiriro pachokha sichimatipulumutsa - chiyenera kukhala chikhulupiriro mwa Iye, osati mu china chirichonse. Timadzipereka tokha kwa iye ndipo amatipulumutsa. Tikamakhulupirira Khristu, timasiya kudzidalira tokha. Pamene timayesetsa kukhala ndi khalidwe labwino, sitikhulupirira kuti kuyesayesa kwathu kudzatipulumutsa ("kuyesayesa" sikunapangitse aliyense kukhala wangwiro). Kumbali ina, sititaya mtima pamene zoyesayesa zathu zalephera. Timakhulupirira kuti Yesu adzatipulumutsa, osati kuti tidzagwira ntchito tokha. Timadalira iye, osati pa kupambana kwathu kapena kulephera kwathu.

Chikhulupiriro ndicho mphamvu yosonkhezera kulapa. Pamene tikhulupirira Yesu monga Mpulumutsi wathu; pamene tizindikira kuti Mulungu amatikonda kwambiri kotero kuti anatumiza Mwana wake kudzatifera; Tikamadziwa kuti iye amatifunira zabwino, timakhala ndi mtima wofunitsitsa kumumvera komanso kumusangalatsa. Timapanga chisankho: timasiya moyo wopanda tanthauzo komanso wokhumudwitsa womwe takhala ndikuvomereza tanthauzo, chitsogozo ndi malingaliro operekedwa ndi Mulungu m'moyo.

Chikhulupiriro - ndiko kusintha kwakukulu kwamkati. Chikhulupiriro chathu “sichipeza” kalikonse kwa ife, komanso sichimawonjezera chilichonse pa zimene Yesu “anatichitira” chifukwa cha ife. Chikhulupiriro ndi kufunitsitsa kuyankha, kuyankha, ku zomwe wachita. Tili ngati akapolo amene akugwira ntchito m’dzenje ladothi, akapolo amene Khristu amawalalikira kuti: “Ndakuombola.” Tili ndi ufulu wokhala m’dzenje ladothi kapena kumudalira n’kusiya dzenje ladothi. Chiombolo chachitika; ndi udindo wathu kuzilandira ndi kuchita mogwirizana.

chisomo

Chipulumutso ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu m’lingaliro lenileni: Mulungu amatipatsa ife kupyolera mu chisomo chake, mwa kuwolowa manja kwake. Sitingachipeze ngakhale titachita chiyani. “Pakuti munapulumutsidwa ndi chisomo chakuchita mwa chikhulupiriro, ndipo ichi chosachokera kwa inu, chili mphatso ya Mulungu, chosachokera ku ntchito, kuti asadzitamandire wina.” ( Aefeso. 2,8-9). Chikhulupiriro ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu. Ngakhale titamvera mwangwiro kuyambira pano, sitiyenera kulandira mphotho7,10).

Tinalengedwa kuti tichite ntchito zabwino (Aef 2,10), koma ntchito zabwino sizingatipulumutse. Amatsata chipulumutso, koma sangathe kuchibweretsa. Monga mmene Paulo ananenera kuti: “Ngati munthu akanatha kupeza chipulumutso mwa kusunga malamulo, Khristu akanafa pachabe (Agalatiya 2,21). Chisomo sichimatipatsa chilolezo chochimwa, koma chimaperekedwa kwa ife tikadali kuchimwa (Aroma 6,15; 1 Yoh1,9). Tikamachita ntchito zabwino, tiyenera kuyamika Mulungu, chifukwa amazichita mwa ife (Agalatiya 2,20; Afilipi 2,13).

Mulungu “anatipulumutsa, natiyitana ife ndi mayitanidwe oyera, osati monga mwa ntchito zathu, koma monga mwa kutsimikiza mtima kwake, ndi chisomo chake.” (2 Tim.1,9). Mulungu anatipulumutsa “chifukwa cha ntchito zachilungamo zimene tinachita, koma mwa chifundo chake.” (Tito 3,5).

Chisomo chili pamtima pa uthenga wabwino: chipulumutso chimabwera ngati mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu, osati kudzera mu ntchito zathu. Uthenga wabwino ndi “mawu a chisomo chake.” (Mac4,3; 20,24). Timakhulupirira kuti “tidzapulumuka mwa chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu Khristu.” ( 1 Akor5,11). Timayesedwa olungama popanda chifukwa ndi chisomo chake kudzera m’chiwombolo chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu.” ( Aroma 3,24). Popanda chisomo cha Mulungu tikanakhala opanda mphamvu pa chifundo cha uchimo ndi chiwonongeko.

Chipulumutso chathu chimayima kapena kugwa ndi zomwe Khristu anachita. Iye ndiye Mpulumutsi, amene amatipulumutsa. Sitingadzitamande chifukwa cha kumvera kwathu chifukwa nthawi zonse kumakhala kopanda ungwiro. Chinthu chokha chimene tinganyadire nacho ndi chimene Khristu anachita (2. Akorinto 10,17-18) - ndipo anachitira aliyense, osati ife tokha.

kulungamitsa

Baibulo limafotokoza za chipulumutso munjira zambiri: dipo, chiombolo, chikhululukiro, chiyanjanitso, kukhala ana, kulungamitsidwa, ndi zina zotero. Chifukwa: anthu amaona mavuto awo mosiyana. Khristu amapereka chiyeretso kwa iwo amene amadzimva kukhala odetsedwa. Amapereka dipo kwa iwo amene amadziona ngati akapolo; Iye amakhululukira anthu amene amadziimba mlandu.

Amapereka chiyanjanitso ndi ubwenzi kwa iwo amene amadzimva kukhala otalikirana ndi kunyalanyazidwa. Aliyense amene amadziona ngati wopanda pake amapatsidwa lingaliro latsopano, losungika. Amapereka chipulumutso monga ubwana ndi cholowa kwa iwo amene samadzimva kuti ali paliponse. Iye amapereka tanthauzo ndi cholinga kwa anthu amene amadziona kuti alibe cholinga. Amapereka mpumulo kwa otopa. Amapereka mtendere kwa amantha. Zonsezi ndi chipulumutso ndi zina.

Tiyeni tione mwatsatanetsatane mawu amodzi: kulungamitsidwa. Mawu achigirikiwo amachokera ku nkhani ya malamulo. Woimbidwa mlandu amanenedwa kuti "osalakwa". Amamasulidwa, kubwezeretsedwa, kumasulidwa. Pamene Mulungu amatilungamitsa, amalengeza kuti machimo athu sangawerengedwenso kwa ife. Akaunti yangongole yalipidwa.

Pamene tivomereza kuti Yesu anatifera ife, pamene tivomereza kuti tikusowa Mpulumutsi, pamene tavomereza kuti uchimo wathu uyenera kulangidwa, ndi kuti Yesu anasenza chilango chifukwa cha ife, timakhala ndi chikhulupiriro ndipo Mulungu amatipatsa chitsimikizo chakuti takhululukidwa.

Palibe amene angalungamitsidwe—kulungamitsidwa—ndi “ntchito za lamulo” (Aroma 3,20), chifukwa chilamulo sichipulumutsa. Ndi mulingo chabe womwe sitikhala nawo; palibe amene amatsatira muyezo umenewu (v. 23). Mulungu amalungamitsa “amene ali mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu” (v. 26). Munthu amakhala wolungama “wopanda ntchito za lamulo, koma mwa chikhulupiriro chokha” (v. 28).

Kuti afotokoze mfundo ya kulungamitsidwa mwa chikhulupiriro, Paulo anagwira mawu Abrahamu: “Abrahamu anakhulupirira Mulungu, ndipo kudawerengedwa kwa iye chilungamo.” 4,3, mawu ochokera 1. Mose 15,6). Cifukwa cakuti Abulahamu anakhulupilila Yehova, Mulungu anamuyesa wolungama. Kale kwambiri lamulo lachilamulo lisanalembedwe, uwu unali umboni wakuti kulungamitsidwa ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu yolandiridwa mwa chikhulupiriro, osati yopezedwa mwa kusunga lamulo.

Kulungamitsidwa ndikoposa kukhululukidwa, kumaposa kuchotsa ngongoleyo. Kulungamitsidwa kumatanthauza: kuyambira pano timatengedwa ngati olungama, timayima pamenepo ngati munthu amene wachita bwino. Chilungamo chathu sichichokera ku ntchito zathu, koma kwa Khristu (1. Akorinto 1,30). Kudzera mu kumvera kwa Khristu, Paulo akulemba kuti, wokhulupirira amakhala wolungama (Aroma 5,19).

Ngakhale kwa “oipa” “chikhulupiriro” chake chimawerengedwa ngati chilungamo (Aroma 4,5). Wochimwa amene akhulupirira mwa Mulungu ndi wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu (ndicho adzalandiridwa pa Chiweruzo). Okhulupirira Mulungu sadzafunanso kukhala opanda umulungu, koma ichi ndi chotulukapo, osati chifukwa, cha chipulumutso. Paulo amadziŵa ndi kugogomezera mobwerezabwereza kuti “munthu sayesedwa wolungama ndi ntchito za lamulo, koma ndi chikhulupiriro cha mwa Yesu Kristu.” (Agalatiya Agalatiya. 2,16).

Chiyambi chatsopano

Anthu ena amakhulupirira nthawi yomweyo. Chinachake chimadutsa muubongo wawo, kuwala kumayaka, ndipo amavomereza kuti Yesu ndi Mpulumutsi wawo. Ena amafika pa chikhulupiriro mwapang’onopang’ono; pang’onopang’ono amazindikira kuti kuti apulumuke sadzidaliranso okha, koma Kristu.

Mulimonse mmene zingakhalire, Baibulo limafotokoza kubadwa mwatsopano. Ngati tili ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu, timabadwanso monga ana a Mulungu (Yoh 1,12-13; Agalatiya 3,26; 1 Yoh5,1). Mzimu Woyera akuyamba kukhala mwa ife (Yohane 14,17), ndipo Mulungu amakhazikitsa mkombero watsopano wa chilengedwe mwa ife (2. Akorinto 5,17; Agalatiya 6,15). Munthu wakale amafa, munthu watsopano amayamba kukhala (Aefeso 4,2224) Mulungu amatisintha.

Mwa Yesu Khristu - ndi mwa ife ngati tikhulupirira mwa iye - Mulungu amafafaniza zotsatira za uchimo wa anthu. Ndi ntchito ya Mzimu Woyera mwa ife, umunthu watsopano ukupangidwa. Baibulo silimatiuza mmene zimenezi zimachitikira; zimangotiuza kuti zikuchitika. Ndondomekoyi imayamba m'moyo uno ndipo imatsirizidwa mu yotsatira.

Cholinga chake ndi chakuti tikhale ngati Yesu Khristu. Iye ndiye chifaniziro changwiro cha Mulungu (2. Akorinto 4,4; Akolose 1,15; Ahebri 1,3), ndipo tiyenera kusandulika m’chifaniziro chake (2. Akorinto 3,18; Agal4,19; Aefeso 4,13; Akolose 3,10). Tiyenera kukhala ngati iye mu mzimu – mu chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kudzichepetsa ndi makhalidwe ena a Mulungu. Izi ndi zimene Mzimu Woyera amachita mwa ife. Amakonzanso chifaniziro cha Mulungu.

Chipulumutso chikufotokozedwanso ngati chiyanjanitso – kubwezeretsa ubale wathu ndi Mulungu (Aroma 5,10-11; 2. Akorinto 5,18-21; Aefeso 2,16; Akolose 1,20-22). Sitikutsutsanso kapena kunyalanyaza Mulungu - timamukonda. Kuchokera kwa adani timakhala mabwenzi. Inde, koposa mabwenzi – Mulungu akuti adzatilandira monga ana ake (Aroma 8,15; Aefeso 1,5). Ndife a m’banja lake tili ndi ufulu, ntchito, ndi cholowa chaulemerero (Aroma 8,16-17; Agalatiya 3,29; Aefeso 1,18; Akolose 1,12).

Pamapeto pake sipadzakhalanso zowawa kapena kuvutika1,4), kutanthauza kuti palibenso amene amalakwitsa. Uchimo sudzakhalaponso, ndipo imfa sidzakhalaponso (1. Korinto 15,26). Cholinga chimenecho chingakhale patali kwambiri tikaganizira mmene tilili panopa, koma ulendowu umayamba ndi sitepe imodzi – sitepe yakuvomereza Yesu Khristu ngati Mpulumutsi. Khristu adzamaliza ntchito imene akuyamba mwa ife (Afilipi 1,6).

Kenako tidzakhala ngati Khristu (1. Korinto 15,49; 1. Johannes 3,2). Tidzakhala osakhoza kufa, osakhoza kufa, aulemerero ndi opanda uchimo. Thupi lathu lauzimu lidzakhala ndi mphamvu zauzimu. Tidzakhala ndi mphamvu, luntha, kulenga, mphamvu ndi chikondi zomwe sitingathe kuzilota. Chifaniziro cha Mulungu, choipitsidwa ndi uchimo, chidzawala kwambiri kuposa kale lonse.
