"Imvani, Mulungu, mawu anga m'kulira kwanga, pulumutsani moyo wanga kwa mdani woopsa. Ndibiseni kwa ziwembu za oipa, Kucokera kwa ocita zoipa; mwadzidzidzi amamuwombera mosanyinyirika. Iwo ali olimba mtima m’ziwembu zawo zoipa, nalankhula za momwe angatsekere zingwe, nati, Ndani angawaone? Iwo ali ndi zolinga zoipa, ndipo akunena: "Tawapangira chiwembu." Mtima ndi malingaliro sizingatheke. Kenako Mulungu akuwamenya ndi muvi, ndipo mwadzidzidzi agwetsedwa pansi. Lilime lake limamugwetsa, kotero kuti aliyense womuwona adzamuseka. Ndipo anthu onse adzaopa nadzati: “Izi ndi zimene Mulungu adazichita, ndipo adzazindikira kuti imeneyo ndi ntchito yake. Olungama adzakondwera mwa Yehova ndi kum’khulupirira, ndipo mtima wolungama aliyense udzadzitamandira mwa iye.”​—Salmo 64.

Salmo limeneli lidzakwaniritsidwadi. Chilichonse chomwe chingagwedezeke chiyenera kugwedezeka kuti chosagwedezeka chikhalebe. Ndimasangalala ndikaganizira zakale, zamakono komanso zam’tsogolo za anthu a Mulungu. Yehova adzakhala ndi anthu oyera, oyera amene adzayima pa mayesero. Choncho fufuzani mtima wa wokhulupirira aliyense tsopano ndi kandulo yoyaka!

Ndife olandiridwa kufunsa funso la woweruzayo kuti, ‘Kodi ndichite chiyani kuti ndipeze moyo wosatha?’ Yesu anayankha kuti: ‘Kodi m’chilamulo munalembedwa chiyani? Ukuŵerenga chiyani?” Yankho linati: “Uzikonda Yehova Mulungu wako ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi moyo wako wonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse, ndi nzeru zako zonse, ndi mnzako monga udzikonda iwe mwini.” Iye anati: “Mwayankha molondola: Chitani ichi, ndipo mudzakhala ndi moyo.”​—Luka 10,25:28-XNUMX.

Chiyembekezo chokha cha wochimwa

“Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero, kuti anapatsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti yense wakukhulupirira Iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha.” ( Yohane 3,16:XNUMX ) Mulungu ndiye Mlengi wathu, Wotipindulitsa ndi Wotisamalira . Monga mlembi wa zabwino zonse, adzakwaniritsa bwino lomwe dongosolo lomwe anali nalo polenga munthu.

Kuipa kwadzaza dziko lapansi chifukwa Adamu sanaike Mawu a Mulungu patsogolo. Sadamtsate ndipo adagonja ku mayesero a mdani. “Uchimo unadza m’dziko lapansi, ndi imfa mwa uchimo, chotero imfa inafikira anthu onse, chifukwa onse anachimwa.” ( Aroma 5,12:18,4 ) Mulungu ananena kuti: “Aliyense wochimwa adzafa.” ( Ezekieli 3,23:XNUMX ) Popanda dongosololi wa chipulumutso, anthu onse adzaweruzidwa kuti afe. “Pakuti onse ndi ochimwa, naperewera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu.” ( Aroma XNUMX:XNUMX ) Koma Yesu anapereka moyo wake kuti apulumutse wochimwayo ku chilango cha imfa. Anafa kuti tikhale ndi moyo. Aliyense amene amulandira iye amamupatsa mphamvu yolekanitsa ndi zonse zomwe zimamubweretsa iye pansi pa chitsutso ndi chilango, mphamvu yobwerera ku kukhulupirika.

Inde, Yesu ndiye chiyembekezo chokha cha wochimwa. Kupyolera mu imfa yake, chipulumutso chinafikira kwa aliyense. Kudzera mwa chisomo chake onse akhoza kukhala nzika zokhulupirika mu ufumu wa Mulungu. Kudzera mu nsembe yake kokha m’pamene munthu akanatha kupeza chipulumutso. Nsembe imeneyi imatheketsa amuna ndi akazi kugwirizana ndi mikhalidwe yoikidwa m’misonkhano yakumwamba.

Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi pano akukhala moyo wa ophunzira angwiro kotero kuti mwa chisomo chake amuna ndi akazi nawonso akakhoze kutsatira Mulungu mokwanira. Izi ndizofunikira kuti apulumutsidwe. Pakuti popanda chiyero palibe munthu adzaona Ambuye.

Pamaso pathu pali mwayi wodabwitsa wotsatira mfundo zonse za m’chilamulo cha Mulungu monga Mesiya. Koma ife enife tiribe mphamvu konse kufikira mkhalidwe uno. Amalandira zonse zabwino mwa munthu kudzera mwa Mesiya. Chiyero chimene Mau a Mulungu amanena kuti tiyenera kupulumutsidwa chimachitidwa ndi chisomo cha umulungu pamene tilola kuphunzitsidwa ndi kugonjetsedwa ndi Mzimu wa choonadi.

Ndi zofukiza za chilungamo cha Yesu zokha zimene zingakwaniritse utumiki wa munthu. Motero mchitidwe uliwonse wa kudzipereka kowona umazunguliridwa ndi fungo laumulungu. Udindo wa Mkhristu mu izi ndi kulimbikira kugonjetsa cholakwa chilichonse. Nthawi zonse amatha kupempha mpulumutsi wake kuti achiritse matenda a moyo wake wodwala. Iye alibe nzeru na mphanvu kuti akwanise kukunda. Ndi Yehova yekha amene ali nazo. Koma amazipereka kwa anthu amene amamupempha modzichepetsa ndi kulapa kuti awathandize.

Njira yosinthira kusayera kukhala chiyero imafuna khama lokhazikika. Tsiku ndi tsiku, Mulungu amagwira ntchito yoyeretsa munthu pamene akugwirizana ndi kulimbikira kukulitsa zizoloŵezi zabwino. M'mene tiyenera kugwirira ntchito chipulumutso chathu chafotokozedwa momveka bwino m'chaputala choyamba cha XNUMX Petro. Timaloledwa nthawi zonse kuwonjezera mphatso imodzi ya chisomo ku yotsatira.

Pakali pano, Mulungu adzapitiriza m’malo mwathu molingana ndi dongosolo la kuchulukitsa. Nthawi zonse amakhala wokonzeka kuyankha pemphero la mtima wosweka. Momwemo chisomo ndi mtendere zidzachuluka pakati pa omtsatira ake. Iye amasangalala kuwapatsa madalitso amene amafunikila polimbana ndi zoipa zimene zimawapondereza. Kumvera uphungu wa Mawu a Mulungu sikudzasowa kalikonse.

Chifukwa chimene ambiri amene poyamba ankadziwa ndi kukonda Mpulumutsi tsopano akusokera mu mdima kutali ndi Iye ndi chifukwa chakuti anali odzidalira okha ndi odzikhutiritsa potsatira zilakolako zawo. Iwo sanayende m’njira ya Yehova—njira yokhayo ya mtendere ndi chisangalalo. Mwa kusakhulupirira adadzidula okha ku madalitso Ake. Kupyolera mu kudzipereka, komabe, iwo akanapita patsogolo kulimbikitsidwa ndi iye.

Mulungu wapereka zisonyezo zambiri zosonyeza kuti akufuna kupulumutsa onse, ndipo kuchuluka komweko kudzabweretsa chiwonongeko kwa onse amene amakana zabwino za Kumwamba. Pa tsiku lalikulu lomaliza, pamene onse adzalandira mphotho kapena chilango chifukwa cha kudzipereka kwawo kapena kupanduka kwawo, mtanda wa Kalvare udzaonekera poyera pamaso pa iwo amene ayimirira pamaso pa woweruza wa dziko lonse lapansi kuti amve chiweruzo chawo chosatha. Adzapatsidwa mphamvu zomvetsetsa zina mwa chikondi chimene Mulungu wasonyeza kwa anthu ochimwa. Mukuona mmene ananyozeredwa ndi onse amene anapitiriza kuchimwa, ku mbali ya Satana, ndi kunyoza lamulo la YHWH. Iwo amaona kuti kusunga lamulo kukanawabweretsera moyo ndi thanzi, kulemera ndi ubwino wamuyaya.

Masiku ano angelo amatumizidwa kwa anthu amene adzalandira chipulumutso. Ayenera kuthandizidwa kuthaŵa ukapolo wa Satana ndi kutumikira monga odzifunira okhulupirika m’gulu lankhondo la Iye amene anadza m’dziko lino chifukwa cha iwo ndi kupirira masautso ndi mavuto. Munthu aliyense ali ndi ufulu wosankha ngati akufuna kuyimirira pansi pa mbendera yakuda yankhondo kapena mbendera yamagazi ya Prince Emanuel. Kumwamba kumayang'ana mwachidwi nkhondo yapakati pa chabwino ndi choipa. Omvera okha ndi amene angalowe pazipata za mzinda wa Mulungu. Amene amasankha kupitiriza kuchimwa adzamva chilango cha imfa. Dziko lapansi lidzayeretsedwa ku zolakwa zonse, zonyansa zonse kwa Mulungu.

“Katsala kanthaŵi woipa sadzakhalakonso, ndipo ukafunsira pokhala pake, sadzakhalakonso. Pamenepo onse onyada ndi onse ochita kusayeruzika adzakhala ngati ziputu, ndipo tsiku likudzalo lidzawatentha, ati Yehova wa makamu, kotero kuti palibe muzu kapena nthambi zidzatsalira kwa iwo... Iwo adzakhala ngati mapulusa pansi pa mapazi anu. pa tsiku limene ndidzapanga!; atero Yehova wa makamu.”—Malaki 3,19:21-XNUMX.

Aliyense amene safuna kusintha makhalidwe awo kuti agwirizane ndi chisindikizo chaumulungu sangalowe mu mzinda wa Mulungu. Wadzichotsa ku chisangalalo ndi chiyembekezo, mtendere ndi chisangalalo zomwe anali nazo m'maso. Akadalandira chisomo cha Yesu, akadakhoza kupirira mayesero a mdani; potsiriza iye akadatengedwa kukhala mwana wamwamuna kapena mwana wamkazi wa Mulungu kulowa mu mzinda woyera kuti akadalitsidwe kwamuyaya ndi kukhala moyo woyezedwa ndi moyo wa Mulungu.

Koma mawu omvetsa chisoni amene Mulungu analankhula ponena za Israyeli, mwatsoka, iye ayeneranso kulankhula za anthu ambiri, ambiri a masiku ano: »Anthu anga samvera mawu anga, ndipo Israeli sandifuna ine. Chotero ndinawapereka ku kuumitsa kwa mitima yawo kuti ayende mwakufuna kwawo.’ ( Salmo 81,12:13-81,14 ) Mulungu akanasangalala kuwaona akuyenda m’kuunika pamodzi ndi oyera mtima, koma sanathe; pakuti anakana zopempha zake zonse ndi zopempha zake. Iye akuti: ‘Anthu anga akanandimvera, ndipo Israyeli akanayenda m’njira yanga! Pamenepo ndikadatsitsa adani ace msanga, Ndi kubwezera dzanja langa pa adani ace; Ndipo iwo akudana ndi Yehova adzagwadira pamaso pake, koma nthawi ya Israyeli idzakhalapo kosatha, ndipo ndidzawadyetsa tirigu wokometsetsa, ndi kuwadzaza ndi uchi wa m’thanthwe.”— Salmo 17:XNUMX-XNUMX .

Chikhalidwe chaumulungu

Chilamulo cha Mulungu ndicho cholembedwa cha makhalidwe ake, ndipo okhawo amene amamvera malamulo ake amalandiridwa ndi iye. Aliyense amene apatuka m’chilamulo cha Mulungu m’njira iliyonse amenya nkhondo yolimbana ndi Mulungu mwiniyo. pakuti kokha molingana ndi mfundo za lamulo ili pamene khalidwe lolungama lingapangidwe. Malamulo a moyo operekedwa ndi Yehova amapangitsa anthu kukhala oyera, okondwa ndi oyera. Okhawo amene amatsatira malamulo ameneŵa adzamva mawu otuluka pamilomo ya Yesu: “Kwera kuno!

Olambira mafano amatsutsidwa ndi Mawu a Mulungu. Kupusa kwawo ndiko kudalira chipulumutso chawo ndi kugwadira ntchito za manja awo. Mulungu amatcha anthu onse “opembedza mafano” amene amadalira nzeru zawo, zolinga zawo, chuma chawo ndi mphamvu zawo, ndipo amafuna kudzilimbitsa okha mwa kugwirizana ndi anthu amene dziko lapansi limawakonda, koma osatha amene sazindikira makhalidwe abwino. wa lamulo lake.

Mulungu adzaposa zimene anthu amene amamukhulupirira amayembekezera. Amatikumbutsa kuti angathe kudziulula mosavuta kwa odzichepetsa ndi olapa. Iye amasangalala pamene timpatsa chifundo ndi madalitso akale monga chifukwa chokhalira ndi madalitso apamwamba ndi okulirapo. Iye amalemekezedwa tikamam’konda ndi kusonyeza kuti chikondi chathu n’choona mwa kusunga malamulo ake. Zimamulemekezanso tikamatchula tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri loyera ndi loyera. Kwa onse amene amachita zimenezi, Sabata ndi chizindikiro “kuti adziŵe,” akufotokoza motero Mulungu, “kuti Ine ndine Yehova wakuwapatula; Kuyeretsedwa kumatanthauza chiyanjano chokhazikika ndi Mulungu. Palibe chimene chili chachikulu ndi champhamvu monga chikondi cha Mulungu pa ana ake.
