Njira yokhayo yokhudzika mtima kwambiri... Wolemba Ellet Wagoner (1855-1916)

Ngakhale ali ndi zolinga zabwino, zolakwa zimachitika chifukwa anthu amalephera. Koma amene akhulupirira ali ndi chitsimikizo chotsimikizika: »Palibe wopembedzedwa mwachoonadi ngati Yeshuruni, amene akuyenda mumlengalenga kukuthandizani, ndi ukulu wake pamitambo. Pothaŵirapo Mulungu wakalekale, ndi m’manja mwake wosatha.” ( Deut. 5:33,26.27, XNUMX ) Mphamvu zake zimaonekera m’chilengedwe. Zimene analenga zimachitira umboni za mphamvu zake zosatha ndiponso umulungu wake. Boma likakhala lamphamvu m’pamenenso limakhulupirira kwambiri. Tsono nchiyani chomwe chingakhale chachirengedwe kuposa kukhala ndi chidaliro chopanda malire mwa Mulungu, yemwe mphamvu zonse, muyaya ndi kusasinthika, chilengedwe ndi mavumbulutso zimachitira umboni.

Ndikanati ndifotokoze kukayikira kwanga ponena za bwenzi lake kwa wosakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu, iye akanati, ‘Ndi chifukwa chakuti simukumudziŵa; ingoyesani ndipo mudzapeza: ndi zabwino kwenikweni.« Yankho lake ndi lomveka. Mofananamo, tinganene kwa wosakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu amene amakayikira malonjezo a Mulungu kuti: “Talawani ndipo muona kuti Yehova ndiye wabwino . . . kodi timakayikira Mulungu, pamene tikuyesa ndi kuona mphamvu zake ndi ubwino wake mphindi iliyonse ya moyo wathu?

»Monga momwe Mulungu alili, zomwe timakuuzani sizikhala inde ndi ayi nthawi imodzi. Pakuti Yesu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu, amene Silvano, Timoteo ndi ine, tinalalikira kwa inu, sanadza monga inde ndi ayi; Mwa iye muli inde wa malonjezano onse a Mulungu. Chifukwa chake ifenso tikuti Amen mwa iye ku ulemerero wa Mulungu.” ( 2 Akorinto 1,18:20-XNUMX NLT, NEW).

Izi zokha zimalimbitsa chidaliro mwa wochimwa amene amayandikira kwa Mulungu. “Yesu Khristu yemweyo dzulo, lero, ndi kunthawi zonse” ndiye chiyembekezo chokha cha wochimwa. Kuitana kwachifundo kwa anthu si nkhani yoseketsa pamene Mulungu amasangalala ndi kukhumudwa kwawo. “Chabwino, inu nonse akumva ludzu, bwerani kumadzimo! Ndipo inu amene mulibe ndalama, bwerani kuno, mugule ndi kudya! Bwerani mudzagule vinyo ndi mkaka opanda ndalama ndi kwaulere.”—Yesaya 55,1:XNUMX.

Yesu anati: “Iye amene adza kwa Ine sindidzamtaya kunja.” ( Yohane 6,37:7,25 ) ndipo Paulo anati: “Iye akhoza kupulumutsa mwangwiro onse akudza kwa Mulungu mwa iye.” ( Aheb. Mtumwi yemweyonso akunena kuti:

“Pakuti tili ndi Mkulu wa Ansembe wamkulu, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu, amene anadutsa kumwamba, tiyeni tigwiritsitse chibvomerezocho. Pakuti sitiri naye mkulu wa ansembe amene sakhoza kumva chifundo ndi zofooka zathu; Chifukwa chake tiyandikira molimbika mtima ku mpando wachifumu wachisomo, kuti tilandire chifundo, ndi kupeza chisomo, ndi potero tilandire chithandizo panthaŵi yake.” ( Ahebri 4,14:16-XNUMX ) Pamenepa, tiyeni tiyankhule za chifundo cha Yehova.

Timaŵerenganso kuti: ‘Ndipo wopanda chikhulupiriro sikutheka kukondweretsa Mulungu. Aliyense amene akufuna kubwera kwa Mulungu ayenera kukhulupirira kuti iye aliko ndiponso kuti amapereka mphoto kwa anthu amene amamufunafuna ndi mtima wonse.”— Aheberi 11,6:XNUMX ( NGC ) Choncho chikhulupiriro ndi kulimba mtima ndi makhalidwe amene Yehova amafuna kuti tizichita.

Mneneri akuti: funani Yehova popezeka Iye, itanani Iye pamene ali pafupi; woipa asiye njira yake, ndi wosalungama asiye maganizo ake, nabwerere kwa Yehova; , pakuti kwa iye kuli chikhululukiro chochuluka.” ( Yesaya 55,6.7:XNUMX, XNUMX )

Ichi ndi chilankhulo chotsimikizika chabwino.

Ngati wina akukayikira ngati Mulungu angamve kapena kuwapulumutsa, ndi chowiringula ngati sadziwa Mulungu. China chilichonse chingakhale miseche. Wochimwayo akulimbikitsidwa kugwadira Mulungu, kuulula machimo ake, ndi kupempha chifundo. Kenako Mulungu adzayankha pemphero lake ndi pempho lake.

Mtumwi Yohane anati: “Ngati tivomereza machimo athu, ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama Iye, kuti atikhululukire machimo athu, ndi kutisambitsa kutichotsera chosalungama chilichonse.” ( 1 Yoh. 1,9:XNUMX ) Iye analonjeza kuti “adzachitira anthu onse chifundo” ndiponso kuti ‘adzachitira chifundo anthu onse.’ ‘amakhululukira kwambiri’ awo amene amatembenukira kwa iye ndi kuulula machimo awo ndi kuchotsa machimo awo.

Palibe chinthu chonga kukhala ndi Mulungu. Malonjezo ake kwa olapa ndi machenjezo ake kwa osalapa ndi omveka bwino: “Iye wokhulupirira Ine, nalola kumizidwa, adzalandira chipulumutso. Koma amene sakhulupirira agwa m’chiweruzo.” ( Marko 16,16:29,12.13 DBU ). Iye anauza anthu amene asochera kuti: “Ngati mundiitana, mukadzabwera kudzapemphera kwa ine, ndidzakumvani. Mukandifunafuna mudzandipeza. Inde, ngati mudzandipempha Ine ndi mtima wanu wonse.” ( Yeremiya 45,19:XNUMX ) CHATSOPANO. Ndipo: »Sindinalankhule mobisika kapena m'malo amdima. Sindinapemphe ana a Israyeli kuti andifunefune pachabe. Ine Yehova ndikunena zoona, ndipo ndilengeza zolungama.”—Yesaya XNUMX:XNUMX.

Mesiya anati: “Idzani kwa Ine nonsenu akulema ndi akuthodwa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupumulitsani inu. Senzani goli langa, ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine; pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa mtima; ndipo mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu.”— Mateyu 11,28.29:XNUMX, XNUMX . Palibe mwina pano.

"Mulungu ndiye chikondi"; anadziulula kwa ife monga Mulungu amene “amakondwera ndi chifundo”. Zimenezi zikuonekera bwino ndi mfundo yakuti Yesu anatifera. “Koma Mulungu akuonetsa chikondi chake kwa ife mmenemo: pamene tinali chikhalire ochimwa, Khristu anatifera ife.” ( Aroma 5,8:8,32 ) “Iye amene sanatimana Mwana wake wa iye yekha, koma anampereka chifukwa cha ife tonse, akanatha bwanji? Kodi ifenso sitipereka zonse pamodzi ndi iye?” ( Aroma 1:1,15 ) “Zimene ndikunena n’zoona ndi zodalirika: Khristu Yesu anadza ku dziko lapansi kupulumutsa ochimwa.” ( XNUMX Timoteyo XNUMX:XNUMX ) Iye akukwaniritsa cholinga chimenechi. . Kodi pangakhale bwanji kukaikira kulikonse kuti iye amavomereza onse amene amadza kwa iye momasuka?

Pamene Mfumukazi Esitere inapemphedwa kuti ipite kwa Xerxes kukachonderera moyo wa anthu a mtundu wake, poyamba inakana chifukwa inali imfa kubwera pamaso pake osaitanidwa. Koma kenako anavomereza kuti: “Pitani, sonkhanitsani Ayuda onse amene ali ku Susani, ndipo musale kudya chifukwa cha ine, osadya kapena kumwa, usana kapena usiku, kwa masiku atatu; kulowa kwa mfumu, ngakhale sikuli monga mwa lamulo; ngati nditayika, nditayika.”​—Estere 4,16:XNUMX.

Xerxes anali mfumu yachikunja komanso wolamulira wopanda mutu. Pamene mfumukazi inabwera pamaso pake, iye anali kutchova juga ndi moyo wake. Koma Mulungu wathu anatitambasulira kale ndodo yace yacifumu; amafuna kuti tibwere ndipo amatipempha kuti tibwere. "Pali Ine, ati Ambuye Yehova, sindikondwera nayo imfa ya woipa, koma woipa akuleka njira yace nakhala ndi moyo; Bwererani, tembenukani kuleka njira zanu zoipa; Mukufuna kufa bwanji, inu a nyumba ya Israyeli?” ( Ezekieli 33,11:22,17 ) “Ndipo mzimu ndi mkwatibwi anena, Idzani! Ndipo amene angamve, nena: “Bwera! Ndipo amene ali ndi ludzu abwere. Ndipo iye amene afuna, atenge madzi a moyo kwaulere.” ( Chivumbulutso XNUMX:XNUMX ) Choncho, anthu amene amamwa madzi a m’thupi mwawo ayenera kukhala oleza mtima.

Ndi Mulungu palibe mwina. Yakobo akuti palibe “kusintha, ngakhale kuwala ndi mthunzi” (Yakobo 1,17:XNUMX).

“Koma wina wa inu ikamsowa nzeru, apemphe kwa Mulungu, amene apatsa kwa onse kwaulere, ndi mosatonza; chotero chidzapatsidwa kwa iye. Koma apempha ndi chikhulupiriro, ndipo sakayika; pakuti wokayikayo afanana ndi funde la nyanja lotengeka ndi kukwapulidwa ndi mphepo. Munthu wotero asaganize kuti adzalandira kanthu kwa Yehova.”—Yakobo 1,5:7-XNUMX.

Aliyense amene amaganiza kuti Mulungu angayankhe pemphero lake basi, sangapemphere ndi chikhulupiriro. Amagwedezeka kwambiri kuti asagwire ndi kugwira chilichonse. Njira yokha ndiyo kubwera molimba mtima ndi sitepe yolimba: “Kufikira lero anthu akuthamangira ku chenicheni chatsopano cha Mulungu. Akufuna kotheratu kukhala komweko ndi kukanikiza mwa iwo ndi mphamvu zawo zonse. ”(Mt 11,12:XNUMX DBU)

Lingaliro linanso. Mulungu amasangalala tikabwera ndi chidaliro, chifukwa zimasonyeza kuti timakhulupirira mawu ake, ndipo angadzilemekeze yekha pamene malonjezo ake akwaniritsidwa. Paulo analemba kuti: “Koma Mulungu ali wachifundo, natikonda kwambiri, kotero kuti, pokhala ife tinali akufa m’zolakwa, anatiutsa moyo pamodzi ndi Kristu; Iye anatiukitsa pamodzi ndi ife ndipo anatikhazika pamodzi ndi ife kumwamba mwa Khristu Yesu. Kwa muyaya, iye akufuna kusonyeza mmene chisomo chake chilili chachikulu, ubwino umene watisonyeza kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu.” ( Aefeso 2,4:7-57,15 NL, ELB, NGU ). Chotero Mulungu akufuna kutisonyeza kwa muyaya monga umboni wa chifundo chake chosamvetsetseka; anthu opulumutsidwa adzakhala mphoto yamuyaya ya ubwino wake wosasintha. Kodi akanalephera bwanji kuyankha pemphero la munthu wolapa? Anati akufuna kukhala naye (Yesaya XNUMX:XNUMX).

Kodi mwamva chisoni ndi machimo anu? Kodi mumanyansidwa nazo ndi kulakalaka moyo wabwino? Kodi munawavomereza kwa Mulungu? + Choncho, mawu a Mulungu akutsimikizireni kuti machimo anu akhululukidwa ndipo mudzapeza mtendere ndi Mulungu kudzera mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu. Ndiyeno munganene limodzi ndi mneneriyo kuti: ‘Zikomo Ambuye! Munandikwiyira, koma mkwiyo wanu unatha, ndipo tsopano mukunditonthoza. Taonani, Mulungu ndiye chipulumutso changa; Ndimamukhulupirira ndipo sindichita mantha. Iye, Yehova, ndiye mphamvu yanga, ndipo ndidzamlemekeza; anakhala mpulumutsi wanga.”—Yesaya 12,1.2:XNUMX, XNUMX.
