Kutheni eli hlabathi lesono nokubandezeleka liye laqhubeka ligcuma phantse iminyaka engamawaka amabini ukususela oko uYesu wafayo? NguDave Fiedler

Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-20

Umnqweno wokusindiswa ngumnqweno osisiseko wakhe wonke umntu. Nangona kunqabile ukuba sithe ngqo ngokwaneleyo ukuba sithi, "Ndikuxelele njalo!", ngokwemvelo siziva sinolwaneliseko oluthile xa abanye bebona ukuba imbono yethu ichanekile. Naleyo ayilunganga. Noko ke, ikratshi lidla ngokuphembelela umnqweno wokufuna ukujongela phantsi abanye okanye ukuziphakamisa. Nangona kunjalo, umnqweno usemthethweni wokuba abanye babone njengenyani kwaye balungise oko kuyinyaniso kwaye kuchanekile.

Njengabantu abadalileyo, uMdali ukwakhangele phambili kwimini yosindiso lwakhe. Kangangamawaka aliqela eminyaka ngomonde uye wasukela ikhondo elibiza imali eninzi lokubonisa ukulunga nemfuneko yemigaqo yakhe yoburhulumente. Kuyo yonke imbali yobudlelwane bethu sidibana nalo mxholo uphindaphindayo, ingqiqo eyodwa yama-Adventist: isimilo samakholwa siya kubonakalisa ngokupheleleyo umfanekiso kaYesu kwisizukulwana sokugqibela. Baya kuphila bengenasono ngexesha lembandezelo, ngaloo ndlela behlaziya isimilo sikaThixo, besigwebela, besindisa uzuko lwakhe. Kukho iinkalo ezimbalwa kulo mzekelo ezifanele ukuqwalaselwa.

• Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo alandele ikhondo elinjalo konke konke?
• Kutheni engavele avakalise ukuba unyanisile?
• Kutheni ethatha ithuba kumboniso?
• Kutheni ethatha ixesha lokwenza oku?
• Kutheni efanele alinde “isizukulwana sokugqibela” ukuba sizalisekise ucelomngeni olungazange lubonwe ngaphambili?

Kuba ixesha liyabiza – hayi kakhulu kwimali yomntu njengakwimali ebiza kakhulu: ukubandezeleka. Kusuku ngalunye olutsha, izigidi zabantu eziphila kulo mhlaba unesono zifumana intlekele. UThixo ngokwakhe ubandezeleka ngakumbi kunabo, kangangokuba asinakukuqonda yaye asifane sikucingele.

“Amaxesha amaninzi xa abantu becinga ngoko kuya kwenzeka ukuba baye bacothisa okanye bakhawulezise ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, baye bacinge ngehlabathi nangeziqu zabo.” Bambalwa abacinga ngoThixo okanye ngentlungu ebangelwa sisono uMdali wethu. Lonke izulu labandezeleka kwintlungu kaYesu, kodwa ukubandezeleka kwakhe akuzange kuqalise kuze kuphele ngokutyhileka kwakhe njengomntu. Umnqamlezo utyhila kwiimvamvo zethu ezibuthuntu intlungu isono esiyibangeleyo entliziyweni kaThixo kwasekuqaleni. Konke ukutenxa emthethweni, zonke izenzo zenkohlakalo, konke ukusilela koluntu ukuphambuka kwikhondo elimiselwe nguThixo kumbangela intlungu enkulu.”Education, 263; cf. imfundo, 217)

ukubandezeleka imicimbi. Kuchitha ixesha. Ukuba bekungekho kubandezeleka, besingacinga ukuba uThixo ebengayi kuba nenkuthazo yokujongana nengxaki yesono ngoku, kodwa kuphela kwizigidi ezimbalwa zeminyaka ukusuka ngoku. Ukuba kwakungekho kubandezeleka, kutheni emele akhawuleze?

Ke yona intlungu likrele elintlangothi-mbini. Ngoxa isiqinisekisa ukuba uThixo unesizathu esaneleyo sokufuna isicombululo ‘kwimbambano enkulu,’ iphinda iphakamise umbuzo othi: Kutheni evumela ukubandezeleka kuqhubeke?

Kutheni uThixo engakuphelisi ukubandezeleka?

Mhlawumbi asikwazi ukuqonda yonke into enxulumene nale ngxaki. Kodwa kufuneka sivume ukuba ubudlelwane bukaThixo obukhoyo ngokuqhubekeka kobukho besono kufuneka buwele kwelinye lamacandelo amane:

• Akanako ukusiphelisa isono.
• Unako ukusibhangisa isono, kodwa akafuni.
• Unako ukusiphelisa isono, kodwa asibalulekanga ngokwaneleyo kuye.
• Unako ukusiphelisa isono, kodwa unezizathu ezibaluleke ngokwaneleyo zokuthethelela ukuvumela isono kangangexesha elithile.

Nangaphandle koqeqesho lwezakwalizwi, siyabona ukuba amathuba amathathu okuqala aphikisana ngokungenathemba nobungqina bempefumlelo. Ukuba isono asibangeli ukubandezeleka, ubani usenokucinga ukuba kuya kuba kuncinane okanye akukho mfuneko yokusisusa kwindalo iphela. Ukuba isono sibangela ukubandezeleka kwizidalwa ezinesono kuphela, ubani usenokurhanela ukuba uThixo akanaluvelwano olufunekayo ukuze asuse isono kwindalo iphela. Kodwa ekubeni uMdali ngokwakhe nezidalwa Zakhe bebandezeleka ngenxa yesono, kusengqiqweni ukucinga ukuba kumele kubekho isizathu esibambekayo sokulibazisa ukususwa kwesono. Umbuzo uphakama, “Sisiphi isizathu esinokulibazisa ukususwa kwesono?” Ngethamsanqa, kukho iimpendulo kulo mbuzo:

'Kwakutheni ukuze umzabalazo omkhulu uvunyelwe ukuba uqhubeke ukutyhubela iminyaka? Kutheni le nto uSathana engazange atshatyalaliswe xa wayeqalisa imvukelo yakhe? - Ukuze indalo yonke iqiniseke ngempatho yobulungisa kaThixo yobubi, kwaye isono sizuze umgwebo ongunaphakade. Kukho amahla-ndinyuka kwicebo losindiso athi nkqu nakwiphakade imimoya yethu ingasokuze iliqonde ngokupheleleyo—imimangaliso iingelosi ezilangazelela ukuyiqonda.” (Education, 308; bona. imfundo, 252)

“UThixo ngobulumko Bakhe akazange asebenzise lunyanzelo ukuze aphelise imvukelo kaSathana. Loo manyathelo ngewayemenze wavelana noSathana aze andise imvukelo yakhe kunokuba enze buthathaka amandla akhe. Ukuba uThixo wayesohlwaye kwasekuqaleni imvukelo kaSathana, izidalwa ezininzi ngakumbi ngezazimbonile uSathana zaza zalandela umzekelo wakhe. Kwakuyimfuneko ukuba anikwe ixesha kunye nethuba lokuphuhlisa imigaqo yakhe yobuxoki.Imiqondiso Yamaxesha, Julayi 23, 1902)

“Uthixo omkhulu ngewayemkhuphele ezulwini loo gcisa ngephanyazo. Kodwa yayingeyonjongo yakhe... Ukuba uThixo wayesebenzise amandla akhe ukohlwaya lo mvukeli mkhulu, ezo ngelosi zahlubukayo ngezazingazange ziphume. Ngoko uThixo wathabatha enye indlela. Wayefuna wonke umkhosi wasezulwini ukuqonde ngokucacileyo ubulungisa nomgwebo wakhe.” (Umoya wesiprofetho 1, 21)

“UThixo onobulumko bonke wamvumela uSathana ukuba aqhubeke nomsebenzi wakhe de umoya wokunganeliseki wakhula waba yimvukelo ecacileyo. Amacebo akhe kwafuneka aphuhle ngokupheleleyo ukuze bonke babone ubume bokwenene nenjongo yabo. ULusifa wayekwisikhundla esiphakamileyo kakhulu njengekherubhi ethanjisiweyo; wayethandwa kakhulu zizidalwa zasezulwini kwaye wayenempembelelo enkulu kubo... Wayesibeke isikhundla sakhe ngobuchule obukhulu waza waqhubela iinjongo zakhe ngeentsonkotha nenkohliso. Amandla akhe okukhohlisa ayemakhulu kakhulu. Ngaphantsi kwengubo yobuxoki, wafumana isiqalo. Kwaneengelosi ezithembekileyo azizange zikwazi ukubona ngokupheleleyo kwisimo sakhe okanye ukubona apho umsebenzi wakhe wawukhokelela phi.”Impikiswano Enkulu, 497; bona. Umlo omkhulu, 499)

Ubunzima bezi mpendulo buhlala buyinto yexesha. Nganye kwezi ngongoma ichaza isizathu sokuba uSathana engazange atshatyalaliswe xa wawayo. Kodwa kuthekani ngoku? Ngaba alikadluli ixesha elaneleyo lokuba wonke umntu abone iinjongo zakhe?

Ingaba idabi lalisele liphumelele eKalvari?

Ngeli xesha, ubungqina buba nzima ngakumbi. Iingxelo ezithile eziphuma kuMoya weSiprofetho zinika ingcamango yokuba imibandela emnqamlezweni yazinziswa ekugqibeleni. Ezinye iingxelo zichaza ngokucacileyo ukuba zisavuliwe. Umzekelo:

“Ubomi bukaYesu babulolona lungiso (usindiso lwembeko) ngokupheleleyo nolucokisekileyo lomthetho kaYise. Ukufa kwakhe kwaqinisekisa ukungaguquki komthetho. « (Olusuku NoThixo, 246)

»Icebo losindiso linentsingiselo ebanzi ngakumbi, enzulu kunosindiso lomntu. UYesu weza emhlabeni kungekhona nje ukuze avumele abemi behlabathi lethu elincinane bagcine umthetho waKhe njengoko befanele ukuba njalo, kodwa ukuze akhulule isimilo sikaThixo phambi kwendalo iphela... Isenzo sikaYesu sokufa ukuze asindise uluntu asizange nje senze ukuba izulu lifikeleleke kulo. umntu, kodwa wahlaziywa phambi kwendalo iphela ngendlela uThixo noNyana wakhe abadibana ngayo nemvukelo kaSathana. Waqinisekisa ukuba umthetho kaThixo uhlala unyanisekile waza watyhila imo nemiphumo yesono.” (Oosolusapho nabaProfeti, 68-69; bona. oosolusapho nabaprofeti, 46)

“Kwaphela kwada kwaba sekufeni kukaYesu apho ubuntu bokwenene bukaSathana babonakala ngokucacileyo kwizithunywa zezulu nakwihlabathi elingenasono. Kungelo xesha kuphela abathi bakubona ukuphepha nezityholo zengelosi eyayikade iphakamile ekukhanyeni kwabo okufanelekileyo. Ngoku kwabonwa ukuba isimilo sakhe ekucingelwa ukuba singenasiphako siyakhohlisa. Isicwangciso sakhe esinzulu sokuzibekela ulawulo yedwa sabonwa. Ubuxoki bakhe babubonakala kubo bonke. Igunya likaThixo limiselwe ngonaphakade. Inyaniso yoyisa ubuxoki.” (Imiqondiso Yamaxesha, Agasti 27, 1902)

Njengoko ezi ngxelo zinokuvakala zinyanzelekile, kukho enye isikhokelo. Nangona abanye baya kuhendwa ukuba babone "ukuphikisana" kule nto, kuyacaca ukuba u-Ellen White ngokwakhe akazange abone into enjalo. Ethetha ngemiphumo yedini likaYesu, waphawula oku kulandelayo:

“USathana waqonda ukuba isigqubuthelo sobuso sakhe sikrazulwe. Isenzo sakhe satyhilwa phambi kweengelosi ezingafezekanga nalo lonke izulu. Wayezibhence njengombulali. Ngokuphalaza igazi loNyana kaThixo, wazibandeza lonke uvelwano kwizidalwa zasezulwini. Ukususela ngoko umsebenzi wakhe wawulinganiselwe. Enoba sisiphi isimo sengqondo awayenaso, wayengasakwazi ukulinda izithunywa zezulu, xa zazivela kwiinkundla zasezulwini, ukuba zityhole abazalwana bakaYesu ngokunxiba izambatho ezingcolileyo ezidyojwe sisono. Iqhina lokugqibela lothando phakathi kwezulu noSathana laqhawuka.
Noko ke, uSathana akazange atshatyalaliswe ngelo xesha. Kwanangoku izithunywa zezulu azizange ziyiqonde yonke into eyayibandakanyekile kumzabalazo omkhulu. Imigaqo ebandakanyekileyo yayingekatyhilwa ngokupheleleyo, yaye ngenxa yomntu uSathana umele aqhubeke ekho. Abantu, njengeengelosi, bamele bawuqonde umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwenkosana yokukhanya nenkosana yobumnyama baze bagqibe kwelokuba bakhonze bani.”Umnqweno WamaXesha Adala, 761; bona. Omnye - uYesu KristuNgowe-762-763)

Kutheni 4000 kwaye emva koko kwakhona 2000 iminyaka?

Kwakutheni ukuze kuthabathe amawaka amane eminyaka ukuba izidalwa ezingawiyo zimbone uSathana ekukhanyeni kwakhe kokwenyaniso? “Wazichaza njengombulali.” Yayingacacanga loo nto ukususela kwixesha likaKayin? Zingaphi izigidi zababulali ababekho? Ngaba babengabalwa?

Hayi – ubuncinci hayi njengobungqina obubambekayo. Kwakungekho nto kwintlungu eyayisele ihleli iminyaka engamawaka amane eyayinjengokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni. Ngesizathu esinye esilula: bonke abafa ngaphambili babengaboni. USathana wayenesingxengxezo esigqibeleleyo. Yayingumthetho kaThixo, kungekhona owakhe, owawusithi aboni bamele bafe. Kuphela kukufa kukaKristu apho kwatyhilwa khona ukuba uSathana uya kubulala umntu omsulwa.

Noko ke, eyona nto imangalisa nangakumbi kukuba, emva komnqamlezo, ubungqina obungakumbi buyimfuneko. Inokuba yintoni loo nto? Ngaba ukufa kukaYesu akwanelanga ukubhenca ubumtyholi bukaSathana nesono?

Ukuze sihlolisise le mibuzo ngokubhekele phaya, makhe sihlolisise intsingiselo nohlobo lwemigudu kaThixo yokulondoloza uzuko Lwakhe. Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuba imbeko yokusindiswa ingekokubonakaliswa nje kwamandla okanye ubulumko obungakumbi. Usindiso lwembeko lubandakanya ukuchaswa kwezityholo ezithile. Ukutshatyalaliswa okukhawulezileyo kukaSathana kwakuya kumval’ umlomo, kodwa kungazitshitshisi izityholo zakhe. Oku kubonisa ngokucacileyo isigqibo sokuqala soBuThixo: Imigaqo karhulumente kaLucifer yanikwa ixesha lokuphuhlisa. Kwakhona phawula ukuba imbeko usindiso lufuna ubungqina obucacileyo. Enoba bathini na omabini amaqabane, ingxaki ayilungiswanga de ibe yinjongo, ubungqina obubonisayo bubonisa ukuba ngubani ochanileyo.

Olu qwalaselo lunokubonakala ngokukhawuleza, kodwa iimpembelelo zalo zinzulu kumxholo wecebo losindiso. Ukuba imiba yomlo omkhulu igqitywe ngomboniso osebenzayo, kunokwenzeka ukuba ababukeli baya kukwazi ukwenza izigqibo zabo. Oku kulula ukuba izidalwa ezingawiyo zikholelwe. Kodwa qwalasela ukuba uluntu lukwamele luzenzele isigqibo, mntu ngamnye azenzele ngokwakhe.

Ubunzima obusebenzayo buvela apha kubuthathaka bomntu. Ubuqhophololo bukaSathana buchulwe kangangokuba kwathabatha iminyaka engamawaka amane ukushenxisa lonke uthando kuye kwiintliziyo zezithunywa zezulu. Angathini ke ngoko umntu ukuba agqibe iminyaka emashumi asixhenxe kuphela? – akakrelekrele kakhulu kwaye ubona buncinci kakhulu ubungqina obukhoyo. Kwingcinga yokuqala, lo mbuzo unokubonakala ungeyonyani, kodwa impendulo elula esiyinikayo ixhokonxa uluhlu olutsha lwemibuzo.

Mhlawumbi inye kuphela impendulo: wonke umntu uvavanywa kuphela koko anokuzivavanya ngokwakhe. Ngenxa yokuba imida yokufa kwabantu ayikuvumeli ukunethezeka kwamawaka aliqela eminyaka ukwenza isigqibo. Sihlala sisithi: Umntu unoxanduva kuphela lokukhanya akufumanayo. Enye inkalo yengxaki efanayo lidinga leNkosi elithi: “Uthembekile uThixo, ongayi kuvumela ukuba nilingwe ngokungaphaya kwamandla enu.” ( 1 Korinte 10,23:XNUMX ) Ngoko ke, “uThixo uthembekile;

Ke oko kuthetha ukuba uluntu lukhuselwe ukusa kumkhamo othile kwiinkohliso zikasathana. Nangona kunjalo, oku akuthethi ukuba sibona kuzo ngokukhawuleza kunehlabathi elingenasiphelo, kodwa ukuba asidibananga nazo zonke. Ngamafutshane, uThixo wamnqanda umtyholi ekubeni asinike ezona ngxoxo zisiqinisekisayo kuba sasingenakukwazi ukuzibamba.

Oko kunokuvakala kulungile kwaye kulungile kuthi; kodwa makhe sicinge okomzuzwana ukuba usathana uyibona njani. Masizibeke endaweni yakhe. Ngaba oko bekuya kusiqinisekisa? Ngaba siya kukuqwalasela oko kulungileyo? Yaye zicinga ntoni izithunywa zezulu ezingawiyo ngako? Ukuba usindiso luza kwenzeka kwindawo yesigqibo esisezingqondweni nasekuvavanyweni okukrelekrele kwamabango angquzulanayo, oko ke ukuphononongwa kweengxoxo ezinobutshaba kubeka esichengeni ngokunzulu nabuphi na ubungqina bokunyaniseka komntu.

Ingxaki iba mbi ngakumbi xa ufaka ityala labo bafa kudala. Ukuba iNkosi iceba ukuzisa kwintsapho kaThixo inyambalala yabantu abavusiweyo abangazange beve “ezona ngxoxo zilungileyo” zikaSathana, ngaba akufanele kulindelwe ukuba izithunywa zezulu ezingafezekanga ziya kuziva zingonwabanga? Qwalasela oku: kumawaka ambalwa eminyaka eyadlulayo abantu bakaLusifa ababenengqondo efanayo babengabahlobo kunye namaqabane akhe. Ukuba iingelosi zinokuwa kude kube ngoku, sisiphi isiqinisekiso esikhoyo kwaba bantu bangavavanywanga, banesono?

Ukuze kuthomalalise ukuxhalaba kweengelosi eziwileyo nezingawiyo, iNkosi kufuneka yenze izinto ezimbini. Umele abonise ukuba uluntu lunokujongana luze loyise ububanzi obupheleleyo benkohliso yesono. Kwakhona kufuneka abonise ukuba kukho into eyaziwayo ehlala inxulumene nolu loyiso. Ngamanye amazwi, bonke abo basoyisayo isono bafuna iimpawu ezifanayo. Olu phawu akufunekanga lubekho kuye nabani na oqhubeka esenza isono nangona enethuba lokusizuza. Kufuneka kubekho uphawu oluthile olwahlulayo oluhlala lukhokelela kuloyiso olupheleleyo.

Zakuba zingqinwe ezi zibakala zimbini, umntu unokugqiba ngokusengqiqweni ukuba abo bafayo ababenolu phawu babeya kubagatya inkohliso kaMtyholi ukuba babenexesha nethuba. Ngenxa yolu phawu lunye, ngoko, bakhuselekile ukuba bamkelwe kubudlelane basezulwini.

Ubulungisa ngokwenene buza ngokholo

Konke oku kunokuvakala kutsha, kodwa sibuyele ngokupheleleyo kwiindlela ezaziwayo zezakwalizwi. Uphawu olubalulekileyo, umahluko ongenakuphepheka phakathi kwabalungileyo nabangendawo, “lukholo” kuphela.

Mhlawumbi ngoku siqonda ngakumbi ukuba ubungqina obungakumbi buyimfuneko emva kobomi, ukufa, nokuvuka kukaYesu. Imiba emibini ibonwa - omnye uvela kumtyholi kwaye omnye uvela kubahlali abangabawanga bendalo iphela. Basalindele isisombululo. Ekubeni zombini ezi ngongoma zinento yokwenza nokhetho olubambekayo lomntu ngamnye, owileyo nonesono, akufanele kusimangalise ukuba idini likaYesu lingenakunikela ubungqina obuyimfuneko ngokuthe ngqo. Kodwa kulumkele ukufutshane ukuba umntu ngumthombo wosindiso lwakhe okanye usindiso lukaYehova. Nokuba uluntu ludlala indima, kuseyinyaniso engunaphakade ukuba zonke izinto ezilungileyo zivela kuThixo. Ukuba nawuphi na umntu, naphi na, nangaliphi na ixesha, uphila ubomi bokuthobela umthetho kaThixo, unetyala kumandla kaYesu.

Eneneni, uthunywashe woluntu ekusindiseni uzuko lukaThixo ube ngumbandela nje wokulibazisa. Umnqamlezo wakhanyela izityholo ezininzi zikaSathana, kwaye uluntu ngaphandle, kubonakala ngathi indalo iphela sele ifikelele kwisigqibo sayo: uThixo "umsulwa" kuzo zonke iinkalo.

“Kwanokuba bonke abemi beli hlabathi lincinane bebenokungavumi ukuthobela uThixo, ebengayi kuhlala engenambeko. Wayenokutshayela wonke umntu ofayo emhlabeni ngephanyazo nje enye aze adale uhlanga olutsha olwaluza kuzalisa ihlabathi kwaye luzukise igama lakhe. Uzuko lukaThixo aluxhomekeke emntwini.”UkuHlola kunye noHerald, Matshi 1, 1881, cf. Ubomi obungcwele, 49)

“Umsebenzi wokukhulula abantu asiyiyo yonke into eyenziwa ngomnqamlezo. Uthando lukaThixo lutyhilwe kwindalo iphela. Umthetheli weli hlabathi ukhutshelwe phandle, izimangalo zikaSathana nxamnye noThixo ziyatshitshiswa, nezityholo azibeke phezu kweZulu zishenxisiwe ngonaphakade.”Umnqweno WamaXesha Adala, 625; bona. Omnye - uYesu Kristu, 622)

Nangona oku kukhuthaza, imibuzo isemi echaphazela uluntu. Nangona ngokwenene uYesu waba ngumntu, umbandela wokuthobela kwabantu ubonakala ungaconjululwa ngandlel’ ithile. “USathana wavakalisa ukuba kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba oonyana neentombi zika-Adam bawugcine umthetho kaThixo. Ngoko watyhola uThixo ngokuswela ubulumko nothando. Ukuba babengakwazi ukugcina umthetho, ibiya kuba lityala lendlu yowiso-mthetho.Imiqondiso Yamaxesha, ngoJanuwari 16, 1896)

“UYehova unqwenela ukuphikisa izityholo zikaSathana esebenzisa abantu Bakhe ngokubonisa iziqhamo ezifumaneka ngokulandela imigaqo elungileyo.”Izifundo zeNjongo kaKristu, 296; bona. UKristu ufundisa ngemizekeliso, 211)

Nangona kunjalo, njengoko isizukulwana sokugqibela sabantu bakaThixo sigqibelelisa iimpawu zabo kwaye siphila ngokomthetho wakhe, uSathana usenenye ingxoxo:

Ukuxolelwa nguThixo xa ehlaselwa

“USathana wavakalisa ukuba akukho kuxolelwa nguThixo, nokuba uThixo wayenokusixolela isono, wawuphelisa umthetho wakhe. Athi kumoni: “Ulahlekile.”UkuHlola kunye noHerald, ngoJanuwari 19, 1911)

Abantu bakaThixo bajamelene nale mpikiswano emva kwexesha kakhulu-ngexesha “lokubandezeleka kukaYakobi” [Yeremiya 30,7:XNUMX]: USathana “uyazazi kakuhle izono abahendileyo kuzo, uzibambisa phambi koThixo ngobunzulu bobubi. nemibala namabango okuba aba bantu, njengaye, bafanelwe kukukhutshwa kwinkoliseko kaThixo. Uvakalisa ukuba iNkosi ayinako ukubaxolela izono zabo kwelinye icala, kodwa iya kumtshabalalisa yena nezithunywa zakhe kwelinye. Uzibanga njengeziphangiwe aze afune ukuba zinikelwe kuye ukuze zitshatyalaliswe.Impikiswano Enkulu, 618; bona. Umlo omkhulu, 619)

Nangona uSathana ezisa lo mbandela njengeyona ngxoxo yokugqibela, asifanele siyigatye lula. Siqhelene nenkqubo yezomthetho yomntu, apho ukuxolelwa kukuthanda. Ngoko ke, ibango likaMtyholi lokuba umgwebi wendalo iphela akanakuxolela izono zethu alinikeli mdla kangako kuthi. “Ngokuqinisekileyo unako,” sitsho. "Ukufa eKalvari kumnika ilungelo lokuxolela izono."

Kodwa ngaba bekungayi kuba yingozi ukuba uSathana ebesebenzisa impikiswano ebekufanele ukuba ihlatywe phantse iminyaka engamawaka amabini. Ukuba, njengoko kubonisiwe ngasentla, uSathana uneempikiswano esingekazikhanyeli, ngoko umbuzo wokuba uThixo unelungelo lokuxolela mhlawumbi usekuludwe lwakhe kusini na. Kodwa uYehova usoloko ekulungele. Nokuba uSathana usakhupha iingxoxo kweli nqanaba lisisiseko, iNkosi ikwabonakala ineengxoxo ezigcinileyo azigcinele ngokukodwa olu hlaselo. “Kusekuninzi ukukhanya okusaza kukhanya ngomthetho kaThixo kunye nevangeli yobulungisa. Xa esi sigidimi siqondwa ngokwesimo saso sokwenene size sivakaliswe ngomoya, sikhanyisela umhlaba ngobuqaqawuli bawo.”Olusuku NoThixo, 314)

Ukuhlangulwa kwembeko yinkqubo ende kwaye inzima. Ukubandezeleka kwezigidi zamadoda, abafazi nabantwana - ukubandezeleka kobuThixo - kubenza bathandeke ngendlela engathethekiyo. Ngaba konke ukubandezeleka kuyafaneleka?

Ewe! Kufanelekile, nokuba ukuhlangulwa kwembeko kuthatha ixesha. Enoba le nkqubo iphela kubomi bethu okanye akunjalo, kufanelekile ukulinda. Ngaba asinakwenza okungakumbi kunokulinda nje? Ngaba asinakuqinisekisa ukuba izenzo zethu, izigqibo zethu, kunye nobomi bethu zibubungqina obupheleleyo bukaYesu? Ngaba asinakusebenza ngendlela esingazange sayenza ngaphambili kwaye sifunde ngendlela esingazange sayenza ngaphambili? “UYEHOVA unqwenela ukuziphendulela izityholo zikaSathana esebenzisa abantu bakhe.” Ngaba asinakuyishenxisa inkxalabo yethu ngosindiso lwethu ngokuxhalabela ngakumbi usindiso lukaThixo lwembeko?

INkosi ithi icebo laYo elizukileyo lokuqinisekisa okona kulungileyo kwindalo iphela ekugqibeleni liya kufikiswa kwisiphelo esinempumelelo – ngathi okanye ngaphandle kwethu.

“Indalo iphela ibubonile ubume neziphumo zesono. Ukuba wayesishenxise ngokupheleleyo isono kwasekuqaleni, ngewayezoyisile iingelosi aze amhlazise uThixo. Kodwa ngoku ukubhangiswa kwesono kuya kulubonakalisa uthando lwakhe kwaye kusindise uzuko lwakhe emehlweni ezidalwa zonke zendalo iphela...
