Okokuqala, bheka lokho u-Matthew Slater anakho mayelana nenokunikeza kukaNkulunkulu kweNtethelelo Nenkululeko.

Okulandelayo, funda umlayezo ongezansi ovela ku-Randy Alcorn futhi uzindle ngamavesi alandelayo.

Njengoba uMathewu esho, kubalulekile ukuba siqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani nokuthi uthini ngathi nangesono sethu. Ukungakwazi ukuthinta kuyadumaza, kodwa inkinga yethu inkulu kakhulu: “Bonke bonile basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu” (KwabaseRoma 3:23). Kunezindaba ezimbi nezindaba ezinhle: “Inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu” (KwabaseRoma 6:23).

Ngenxa yokuthi uJesu Kristu wasifela esiphambanweni, uNkulunkulu usinika intethelelo ngesihle. Kodwa intethelelo ayizenzakaleli. Uma sifuna ukuthethelelwa, kumelwe sivume futhi siphenduke ezonweni zethu: “Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile futhi ulungile futhi uyosithethelela izono zethu futhi asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi.” ( 1 Johane 1:9) Ngakho, kumelwe sivume izono zethu futhi siphenduke.

Asikho isenzo esilungile esingasenza sisitholela indawo eZulwini (Thithu 3:5). Siza kuKristu silambatha. Asinakuthatha udumo ngensindiso: “Ngokuba nisindisiwe ngomusa, ngokukholwa – nalokhu akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu – akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo” (Kwabase-Efesu 2:8-9).

Isipho sikaNkulunkulu esikhulu kunazo zonke Nguye uqobo. Asidingi insindiso kuphela, sidinga uMsindisi, futhi unegama: uJesu (elisho ukuthi “uNkulunkulu uyasindisa”).

UmBhalo ukhuluma “ngokugezwa kokuzalwa kabusha nokuvuselelwa kukaMoya oNgcwele” (Thithu 3:5). Uma amakholwa esezelwe kabusha, asikwazi ukuqhubeka nokwenza isono ngenxa yesimo sethu esisha (bona 1 KaJohane 3:9). Isono sisekhona ezimpilweni zethu (bona kwabaseRoma 6:11-14; 1 Johane 1:8–2:2), kodwa sinamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo okusinqoba njengoba safa esonweni (bona kwabaseRoma 6:6-9).

Umoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu uhlala kithi futhi uyasisiza ukuthi simlalele (bona 2 Thimothewu 1:14). Ukristu unikeza amakholwa izimo ezintsha ezisikhulula ebugqilini besono (2 Kwabasekorinte 5:17). Ngezinye izikhathi siyokhubeka, kodwa akufanele siwe - futhi uma siwe, ngomusa Wakhe namandla, singaphinde sivuke. Ngenxa yokuthi izinhliziyo zethu ziyashintsha lapho sizalwa kabusha, sifuna indlela engcono. “Kepha nina anikho enyameni, kodwa nikuMoya, uma ngempela uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehlala kini.” ( KwabaseRoma 8:9)

Ngenxa yomsebenzi kaKristu ngenxa yethu, sikhululekile ukwenqaba isono nosizi lwaso, futhi esikhundleni salokho samukele ukulunga kanye nenjabulo yaso. Lapho senza lokhu, siyothola uzamcolo womusa kaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwethu, usibuyisele ekuphileni okuchichimayo kokuhamba naLowo oyiNkosi yethu, iNkosi noMngane wethu omkhulu (Johane 15:13, 15)
