Kusho ukuthini ukucela intethelelo eNkosini?
Ingabe uyasithethelela njalo? Ingabe uyasithethelela ngokuzenzakalelayo? Uma Ekwenza, kungani-ke ebuza? Futhi, ngempela, kusho ukuthini ukuthethelelwa Nguye?
Ake sibone ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini ngakho.
Enye into ukuthi sitshelwa ukuba sifune intethelelo yeNkosi. Nazi iziqephu ezimbili eziyizibonelo:
Umpristi uyakukushisa e-altare njengokweminikelo yomlilo kaJehova, umpristi enze ukubuyisana ngesono sakhe one ngaso, aze athethelelwe. (Levitikusi 4:35)
- "Ngakho-ke, khuleka ngale ndlela…. Usithethelele amacala ethu, njengoba nathi sibathethelela abanamacala kithi.”Mathewu 6:9-12)
Okwesibili, kusobala ukuthi kufanele sithethelele ukuze sithethelelwe:
- "Ngokuba uma nithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo osezulwini uyakunithethelela nani. Kepha uma ningathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo akayikunithethelela iziphambeko zenu." (Mathewu 6:14, 15)
- "Inkosi yayo yathukuthela, yayinikela kubahlukumezi, ize ikhokhe konke okwakumele iyenze. Kanjalo noBaba osezulwini uyokwenza kini uma kungulowo nalowo kini engathetheleli ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke umfowabo iziphambeko zakhe.”Mathewu 18:34, 35)
- "Ningahluleli, khona aniyikwahlulelwa. ningalahli, khona aniyikulahlwa. Thethelela, futhi uzothethelelwa."Luka 6:37)
Okwesithathu, siyabona ukuthi iNkosi ikulungele ukuthethelela:
“Ngokuba wena, Nkosi, umuhle, ungothethelelayo, uchichima umusa kubo bonke abakhuleka kuwe; (AmaHubo 86:5)
- "Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe, ngokuba uthande kakhulu; Kepha othethelelwa okuncane, naye uthanda kancane.”Luka 7:47)
- "Kwathi isiqalile ukubala, kwalethwa kuye enye enecala layo lamatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi…. Khona-ke inkosi yaleyo nceku yaba nesihawu, yayikhulula, yayithethelela icala.”Mathewu 18:24, 27)
- "Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa iKhalvari, bambethela khona, nezelelesi, esinye ngakwesokunene nesinye ngakwesokhohlo. Khona-ke uJesu wathi: ‘Baba, bathethelele, ngoba abakwazi abakwenzayo.’” ( Joh.Luka 23:33, 34)
Nazi ezinye izimfundiso zeBandla Elisha ezisekelwe kulezi zindima zeBhayibheli.
1. INkosi ayigcini incwadi (okuyizindaba ezimnandi kithina sonke!). Bheka lesi siqephu esithi "Inkolo YamaKristu Yeqiniso":
“UJehova, enesihawu uqobo, uthethelela yilowo nalowo izono zakhe, akababaleli ngisho nesisodwa sazo umuntu, ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Abakwazi abakwenzayo” (kodwa noma kunjalo lokhu akusho ukuthi izono. ziqedwe); ngokuba lapho uPetru ebuza ukuthi makathethelele kangaki umfowabo iziphambeko zakhe, noma kasikhombisa, iNkosi yathi: “Hhayi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kodwa kuze kube kamashumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa,” (Mathewu 18:21-22). Khona-ke, yini uJehova angayikwenza na?”Inkolo YeQiniso yobuKhrestu 539)
2. Ukuthethelela kuyinqubo. Ungacabanga ngakho njengeluphu. Kunezigaba ezimbili: “ukuzimisela ukuthethelela” kanye “nokuza ukuthethelelwa”. Lokhu kuchazwe kahle ezindimeni ezilandelayo ezivela emisebenzini emibili yezenkolo yaseSwedenborg:
“Iningi ebandleni licabanga ukuthi ukuthethelelwa kwezono kuhilela ukwesula nokuzigeza, njengokususwa kokungcola ngamanzi, nokuthi ngemva kokuthethelelwa abantu bahamba behlanzekile futhi bemsulwa. Lo mbono ubusa ikakhulukazi kulabo abathi yonke insindiso ibangelwa ukukholwa kuphela.Kodwa makwazeke ukuthi isimo sokuthethelelwa kwezono sehluke ngokuphelele kulokho.Ngokuba uMusa uqobo,uJehova uthethelela wonke umuntu izono zakhe.Noma kunjalo abezi ukuzothethelelwa ngaphandle uma umuntu ephenduka ngeqiniso,egwema okubi. , futhi emva kwalokho uhola impilo yokukholwa nesisa, enze njalo kuze kube sekugcineni kwempilo yakhe.Uma lokhu kwenzeka umuntu uthola ukuphila kokomoya okuvela eNkosini, okubizwa ngempilo entsha.Khona lapho ngalempilo entsha ubuka ububi bempilo yakhe. Impilo yakuqala, ezifulathela, ezenyanya, ububi bakhe sebuthethelelwe ngokokuqala, ngoba lowomuntu useqiniswe emaqinisweni langezindlela zokuhle nguJehova, njalo ugotshiwe ebubini. yilokho, nokuthi ngeke kwenzeke phakathi nehora, noma phakathi nonyaka." (I-Arcana Coelestia 9014:3)
"Elinye iphutha lenkathi ukucabanga ukuthi lapho izono sezithethelelwe nazo ziyasuswa…. Nokho, uma lesi siphakamiso siphendukile, siba yiqiniso, okungukuthi, lapho izono sezisusiwe, nazo zithethelelwe. Ngokuba ukuphenduka kwandulela ukuthethelelwa, futhi ngaphandle kokuphenduka akukho ukuthethelelwa…. INkosi ithethelela bonke abantu izono zabo. Akasoli noma abeke icala. Kodwa namanje akakwazi ukuzisusa lezo zono ngaphandle kokuhambisana nemithetho yokuphatha Kwakhe koBunkulunkulu.”Inhlakanipho Yobungelosi 280)
3. Akudingekile ukuba sithandazele intethelelo. (Ima, ini?) Kuyathakazelisa lokhu. EMthandazweni WeNkosi uJesu awufundisa, SITHANDAZA intethelelo. Kodwa funda le ngcaphuno ethi "Inkolo YamaKristu Yeqiniso":
"Kunezibopho ezimbili ezibekwe phezu kokukodwa emva kokuzihlola: umthandazo kanye nokuvuma izono. Umkhuleko kufanele ube ukuba iNkosi ibe nesihe, imnike amandla okumelana nobubi umuntu aphendukile kubo, futhi inikeze ukuthambekela nothando lokwenza okuhle; ngoba ngaphandle Kwakhe umuntu akanakwenza lutho (Johane 15:5)…. Kunezizathu ezimbili zokuthi kungani umthandazo akufanele wenziwe phambi kweNkosi ukuze kuthethelelwe izono. Okokuqala, ngoba izono azisulwa, kodwa ziyasuswa; futhi lokhu kwenzeka lapho umuntu kamuva ezilahla futhi eqala impilo entsha. Ngokuba kukhona ukulangazelela okungenakubalwa okunamathele kukho konke okubi; lezi azikwazi ukususwa ngokuphazima kweso, kodwa kuphela enye ngemva kwenye, njengoba umuntu ezivumela ukuba aguqulwe futhi enziwe kabusha. Isizathu sesibili siwukuthi iNkosi, enesihawu ngokwayo, ithethelela yilowo nalowo izono zakhe, futhi ayibaleli ngisho nesisodwa sazo kumuntu.”Inkolo YeQiniso yobuKhrestu 539)
Ngakho, yini okufanele siyithandazele? Iphuzu licashile. Engikubonayo endimeni engenhla ukuthi asikho isidingo sokuthandazela intethelelo, ngokwesibonelo, njengengxenye yenqubo yokuphenduka, njengoba phakathi naleyo nqubo sesivele sathandazela isihe namandla okwenza kangcono. Lezi yizinto esizicelayo ngempela uma sithandazela intethelelo. Ukucela uJehova ukuba asithethelele kuwukwenza ngokubukeka. Kuwumsebenzi owusizo, yingakho uJehova ekuyala ngohlamvu lweZwi, kodwa iqiniso elijulile ukuthi asikaze sithethelelwe lutho ngaphandle kokuthethelelwa emehlweni akhe, futhi ukuthi size ukuzothethelelwa noma cha kukithi. , hhayi Yena.
Iyafingqa...
Ukuthethelelwa uNkulunkulu bekulokhu kuhilela isenzo kithi. ETestamenteni Elidala, abantu kwakudingeka benze imihlatshelo. ETestamenteni Elisha, uJesu wamangaza abantu, efundisa ukuthi badinga ukuthethelela abanye - izikhathi eziningi. Futhi manje lapha, siyabona ukuthi umsebenzi wethu (onzima) wokuphenduka yilokho okudingeka sikulethe ukuvala iluphu.
Ngakho okubalulekile ukuthi kunamazinga amabili okuxolelwa yiNkosi: elethu nelaKhe. INkosi iyasithethelela njalo. (Ngokuqondene naYe uqobo, asisoze sathethelelwa.) Kodwa empeleni asixolelwa kuze kube yilapho senze ingxenye yethu yenqubo; yilokho okuvumela ukuthethelela ukuthi kugeleze ku-loop.
