Kodwa, ingabe iziqinisekiso ezidumile ngabe ziqhelelene ngokwanele neQiniso lokuthi ukuzikholelwa kungakuvimbela ukuba uphile impilo engcono kakhulu uNkulunkulu akuhlelele yona? Ake simbe embhalweni kulolu hlelo lwezinsuku ezingu-6 lukaRobin Meadows ukuze sibone ukuthi yini eveziwe.

Uma uke wazibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ebonakala engenabulungiswa, kungani engayiphenduli njalo imithandazo yethu ngendlela esiyilindele, noma kungani uNkulunkulu onothando engadala isihogo, lolu Hlelo LweBhayibheli lwezinsuku ezingu-7, oluhambisana nencwadi ethi Ever Wonder Why kaMfundisi uCraig Groeschel? uchungechunge, lungo lwakho.

Njengabalandeli bakaJesu sikholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uluthando, kodwa ezikhathini eziningi ikhono lethu lokuthanda abanye liyinselelo enkulu. Mhlawumbe lokho kungenxa yokuthi uthando aluwona nje umuzwa noma umzwelo onamandla. Uthando luwuMuntu. Thatha uhambo ngo-1 KwabaseKorinte 13 futhi uthole uMuntu wothando nokuthi, Ngaye, singabathanda kanjani abanye kangcono.

Wonke umuntu ufuna ukwazi ukuthi uthando luyini. Kodwa bayingcosana abantu abaya ebhayibhelini ukuthola ukuthi lithini ngothando. Uthando lweyizinye zezingqalazinto zezibhalo nezinto ezibalulekile zempilo yomzalwane. Loluhlelo lease Thistlebend Ministries lufundisa ngencazo yebhayibheli mayelana nothando nokumthanda kahulu uNkulunkulu nabanye.

Safundiswa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguBaba wethu futhi singabantwana Bakhe. Kodwa ukuhlobana noNkulunkulu njengoBaba akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi—ikakhulukazi uma obaba bethu basemhlabeni bezabalaza ukukhombisa uthando ebesilulangazelela. Kulolu cwaningo lwezinsuku ezingu-16, uPete Briscoe udonsela ukunaka kwethu kuNkulunkulu owenelisa konke ukulangazelela kwethu uthando—egqamisa indlela umBhalo uwembula ngayo ukuthi unguBaba wethu olungileyo nophelele.

Ukuzalwa kukaKristu, ukufika Kwakhe, kuphawula icebo likaNkulunkulu lokuhlengwa kwethu. KuKristu, sibona isithombe esigcwele sethemba likaNkulunkulu, ukuthula, injabulo nothando. Izwi likaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso esazi ngalo futhi sihamba Naye nsuku zonke. Sethemba ukuthi lo mhlahlandlela uzokhuthaza futhi wenze lula isikhathi sakho osichithwa eZwini futhi unikezele insiza yemindeni enezingane ukwenza lokho ndawonye.
