Khalidwe lachikhristu

Khalidwe lachikhristu lakhazikika pa chikhulupiriro ndi kukhulupirika kwa chikondi kwa Mpulumutsi wathu, amene anatikonda ndi kudzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife. Kudalira mwa Yesu Khristu kumaonekera mu chikhulupiriro mu uthenga wabwino ndi ntchito za chikondi. Kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera, Khristu amasintha mitima ya okhulupirira ake ndi kuwapangitsa kuti abereke zipatso: chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, chikhulupiriro, kuleza mtima, chifundo, chifatso, chiletso, chilungamo ndi choonadi. (1. Johannes 3,23-24; 4,20-21; 2. Akorinto 5,15; Agalatiya 5,6.22-23; Aefeso 5,9) 

Miyezo yamakhalidwe m'Chikhristu

Akhristu sali pansi pa chilamulo cha Mose, ndipo sitingapulumutsidwe ndi lamulo lililonse, kuphatikizapo malamulo a Chipangano Chatsopano. Koma Chikhristu chidakali ndi miyezo yamakhalidwe. Kumaphatikizapo kusintha kwa moyo wathu. Zimatibweretsera mavuto pamoyo wathu. Tiyenera kukhala ndi moyo kwa Khristu, osati kwa ife tokha (2. Akorinto 5,15). Mulungu ndiye Mulungu wathu, amene ndi wofunika kwambiri pa chilichonse, ndipo ali ndi chinachake choti anene pa moyo wathu.

Chimodzi mwa zinthu zomalizira zimene Yesu anauza ophunzira ake chinali kuphunzitsa anthu “kusunga zonse zimene ndinakulamulirani.” ( Mateyu 28,20). Yesu anapereka malamulo, ndipo monga ophunzira ake tiyeneranso kulalikira malamulo ndi kumvera. Timalalikira ndi kumvera malamulo ameneŵa osati monga njira yopulumutsira, osati monga chizoloŵezi chotsutsa, koma monga malangizo ochokera kwa Mwana wa Mulungu. Anthu ayenera kumvera mawu ake, osati chifukwa choopa chilango, koma chifukwa chakuti Mpulumutsi wawo wanena choncho.

Kumvera kokwanira sicholinga cha moyo wachikhristu; cholinga cha moyo wachikhristu ndi kukhala wa Mulungu. Ndife a Mulungu pamene Khristu akhala mwa ife, ndipo Khristu amakhala mwa ife tikamamukhulupirira. Khristu mwa ife amatitsogolera kumvera kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera.

Mulungu amatisandutsa kukhala chifanizo cha Khristu. Mwa mphamvu ndi chisomo cha Mulungu, timakhala ngati Khristu. Malamulo ake samangokhudza za kunja kokha, komanso malingaliro ndi zolinga za mitima yathu. Malingaliro ndi zokopa za mitima yathu zimafuna mphamvu yosintha ya Mzimu Woyera; sitingathe kungosintha mwa kufuna kwathu. Chifukwa chake chikhulupiriro ndi kudalira Mulungu kuti achite ntchito yake yosintha mwa ife.

Lamulo lalikulu kwambiri - chikondi cha Mulungu - ndiye chilimbikitso chachikulu cha kumvera. Timamumvera chifukwa timamukonda komanso timamukonda chifukwa mwa chisomo anatilowetsa m’nyumba yake. Ndi Mulungu amene amagwira ntchito mwa ife kuti achite mofunitsitsa ndi kuchita mogwirizana ndi chifuniro chake chabwino (Afilipi 2,13).

Kodi timatani tikapanda kukwaniritsa cholinga chathu? Zachidziwikire kuti timalapa ndikupempha chikhululukiro ndi chidaliro chonse kuti tikupezeka. Sitikufuna kunyalanyaza izi, koma tiyenera kuzigwiritsa ntchito nthawi zonse.

Kodi timatani ena akalephera? Kodi mukuwatsutsa ndi kuumirira kuti achite ntchito zabwino kutsimikizira chilungamo chawo? Izi zikuwoneka ngati zizolowezi zaumunthu, koma ndizomwe Khristu akunena kuti sitiyenera kuchita7,3).

Malamulo a Chipangano Chatsopano

Kodi moyo wachikhristu ndi wotani? Pali malamulo mazana angapo mu Chipangano Chatsopano. Sitikusowa chitsogozo cha momwe moyo wozikidwa pachikhulupiriro umagwirira ntchito zenizeni. Pali malamulo okhudza momwe olemera ayenera kuchitira osauka, pali malamulo okhudza momwe amuna ayenera kuchitira akazi awo, pali malamulo okhudza momwe ife monga mpingo tiyenera kugwirira ntchito limodzi.

1. Atesalonika 5,21-22 ili ndi mndandanda wosavuta:

• Khalani mwamtendere wina ndi mnzake ...
• Konzani zosokoneza
• mutonthoze ofooka mtima, thandizani ofooka, khalani oleza mtima ndi aliyense.
• Onetsetsani kuti palibe amene akubwezera choyipa ndi choyipa ...
• nthawi zonse amatsata zabwino ...
• Khalani okondwa nthawi zonse;
• pempherani kosaleka;
• khalani othokoza m'zonse ...
• Sizimasokoneza malingaliro;
• mawu olosera samanyoza.
• Koma onani zonse.
• Sungani zabwino.
• Pewani zoipa zonse.

Paulo ankadziwa kuti Akhristu ku Tesalonika anali ndi Mzimu Woyera wowatsogolera ndi kuwaphunzitsa. Amadziwanso kuti amafunikira kulangizidwa ndikukumbutsidwa za moyo wachikhristu. Mzimu Woyera adasankha kuwaphunzitsa ndikuwatsogolera kudzera mwa Paulo mwini. Paul sanawopseze kuti awatulutsa mu tchalitchi ngati sakwaniritsa zofunikira - amangowapatsa malamulo owatsogolera kuti ayende munjira zachikhulupiriro.

Chenjezo la kusamvera

Paulo anali ndi miyezo yapamwamba. Ngakhale chikhululukiro cha uchimo chilipo, pali zilango zamachimo m'moyo uno - ndipo izi nthawi zina zimaphatikizapo zilango zamakhalidwe. “Musakhale ndi kanthu ndi munthu wotchedwa mbale, ali wachigololo, kapena wonyansa, kapena wopembedza mafano, kapena wonyoza Mulungu, kapena woledzera, kapena wachifwamba; inunso musadye ndi mmodzi” (1. Akorinto 5,11).

Paulo sanafune kuti mpingo ukhale malo otetezeka a ochimwa odziwikiratu, olapa. Tchalitchi ndi chipatala chothandizira kuti achire, koma osati "malo otetezeka" a tizilombo toyambitsa matenda. Paulo analangiza Akristu a ku Korinto kuti alange munthu amene anachita chigololo (chigololo).1. Akorinto 5,58. Ndipo adamulimbikitsanso kuti amkhululukire pambuyo polapa.2. Akorinto 2,5-8 ndi).

Chipangano Chatsopano chili ndi zambiri zonena za uchimo ndipo zimatipatsa malamulo ambiri. Tiyeni tingoyang'ana mwachangu Agalatiya. M’chisonyezero chimenechi cha ufulu Wachikristu ku chilamulo, Paulo akutipatsanso malamulo ena olimba mtima. Akristu sali pansi pa chilamulo, ngakhalenso osamvera malamulo. Iye akuchenjeza kuti, “Musadulidwe, kuti mungagwe ku chisomo!” Ili ndi lamulo lofunika zedi (Agalatiya). 5,2-4). Musakhale akapolo ndi lamulo lachikale!

Paulo anachenjeza Agalatiya za anthu amene akanayesa “kuwaletsa kumvera chowonadi” ( vesi 7 ). Pawulu wayilejeli atumbanji twindi. Iwo ananena kuti amamvera Mulungu, koma Paulo ananena kuti samvera. Tikupanda kumvera Mulungu pamene tiyesa kulamula chinthu chimene tsopano chatha.

Paulo akutenga njira yosiyana mu vesi 9 : “Chotupitsa pang’ono chitupitsa mtanda wonse.” Pamenepa, chotupitsa chauchimo ndicho mkhalidwe wozikidwa pa lamulo ponena za chipembedzo. Kulakwitsa uku kungathe kufalikira ngati choonadi cha chisomo sichikulalikidwa. Nthaŵi zonse pali anthu ofunitsitsa kuyang’ana ku lamulo monga muyezo wa mmene iwo aliri achipembedzo. Ngakhale malamulo oletsa amapeza kukondedwa ndi anthu a zolinga zabwino (Akolose 2,23).

Akhristu akuitanidwa ku ufulu—“Koma penyani kuti muufulu musapereke malo ku thupi; koma mwa chikondi tumikiranani wina ndi mnzake.” (Agalatiya 5,13). Ufulu umabwera ndi maudindo, apo ayi "ufulu" wa munthu wina ungasokoneze wa wina. Palibe amene ayenera kukhala ndi ufulu wotsogolera ena muukapolo mwa kulalikira, kapena kudzipezera okha otsatira, kapena kusintha anthu a Mulungu. Khalidwe logawanitsa ndi losakhala lachikristu loterolo nlosaloledwa.

Udindo wathu

“Chilamulo chonse chikwaniritsidwa m’mawu amodzi,” akutero Paulo m’vesi 14 : “Uzikonda mnzako monga udzikonda iwe mwini.” Zimenezi zikufotokoza mwachidule udindo wathu kwa wina ndi mnzake. Njira yosiyana, kumenyera phindu la munthu, ndithudi ndi kudziwononga (v. 15).

“Khalani mu mzimu, ndipo simudzakwaniritsa zilakolako za thupi” (v. 16). Mzimu udzatitsogolera ku chikondi, osati kudzikonda. Maganizo odzikonda amachokera ku thupi, koma Mzimu wa Mulungu umapanga maganizo abwino. “Pakuti thupi litsutsana ndi mzimu, ndi mzimu pa thupi; atsutsana wina ndi mzake...” (v. 17). Chifukwa cha mkangano umenewu pakati pa mzimu ndi thupi, nthawi zina timachimwa ngakhale kuti sitikufuna.

Nanga yankho lake ndi liti ku machimo omwe amativutitsa? Kubweretsa lamulo? Ayi!
“Koma ngati Mzimu akukulamulirani, simuli omvera lamulo” (vesi 18). Njira yathu ya moyo ndi yosiyana. Timayang'ana kwa Mzimu ndipo Mzimu udzakulitsa mwa ife chikhumbo ndi mphamvu yakukhala malamulo a Khristu. Timayika kavalo kutsogolo kwa ngolo.

Timayang’ana kwa Yesu poyamba, ndipo timaona malamulo ake pa nkhani ya kukhulupirika kwathu kwa Iye, osati monga malamulo “oyenera kumvera kapena tidzalangidwa.”

Mu Agalatiya 5 Paulo akutchula machimo osiyanasiyana: “Dama, chodetsa, chiwerewere; kupembedza mafano ndi matsenga; udani, ndewu, kaduka, kupsa mtima, ndewu, mikangano, magawano, kaduka; kumwa, kudya, ndi zina zotero” ( vv. 19-21 ). Zina mwa izi ndi makhalidwe, zina ndi makhalidwe, koma onse ndi odzikonda ndipo amachokera mu mtima wochimwa.

Paulo akutichenjeza mwamphamvu kuti: “…iwo akuchita izi sadzalowa Ufumu wa Mulungu” ( vesi 21 ). Iyi si njira ya Mulungu; izi si momwe timafunira kukhalira; umu si momwe timafunira kuti mpingo ukhale...

Chikhululukiro chilipo pa machimo onsewa (1. Akorinto 6,9-11). Kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti mpingo uyenera kunyalanyaza uchimo? Ayi, tchalitchi sichiri chofunda kapena malo otetezeka a machimo oterowo. Mpingo uyenera kukhala malo amene chisomo ndi chikhululukiro zimasonyezedwa ndi kuperekedwa, osati malo amene uchimo umaloledwa kufalikira mosalamulirika.

“Koma chipatso cha mzimu ndicho chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, chifundo, kukoma mtima, chikhulupiriro, chifatso, chiyero; 5,22-23). Izi ndi zotsatira za mtima wodzipereka kwa Mulungu. “Koma iwo a Khristu Yesu adapachika thupi lawo, pamodzi ndi zokhumba zake, ndi zilakolako zake” (v. 24). Ndi Mzimu ukugwira ntchito mwa ife, timakula mu chifuniro ndi mphamvu yakukana ntchito za thupi. Timanyamula zipatso za ntchito ya Mulungu mkati mwathu.

Uthenga wa Paulo ndi womveka bwino: Ife sitiri pansi pa lamulo - koma ife sitiri osamvera malamulo. Tili pansi pa ulamuliro wa Khristu, pansi pa lamulo lake, pansi pa chitsogozo cha Mzimu Woyera. Moyo wathu wakhazikika pa chikhulupiriro, chosonkhezeredwa ndi chikondi, chodziwika ndi chisangalalo, mtendere ndi kukula. “Ngati tiyenda mwa Mzimu, tiyendenso mu Mzimu” (v. 25).
