Indlela eya phambili emthandazweni kimi yafika ngokubuyela ezimpandeni zami zikamoya-zenkolo. Phakathi nomsebenzi wami wokuqala wobufundisi eVirginia, ngaphinda ngiseDolobheni laseNew York, ngaba nosipiliyoni sokushumayela ngencwadi kaMphostoli uPawulu eya kwabaseRoma. Phakathi nesahluko 8, uPawulu uyabhala:
UMoya enamamukelayo akanenzi izigqila, ukuze nibuye nibe nokwesaba; kunalokho, uMoya enawamukelayo wenza ukuba nibe ngabantwana. Futhi ngaye simemeza sithi, “Aba, Baba.” UMoya uqobo ufakaza kanye nomoya wethu ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. (Amavesi 15–16)
Umoya kaNkulunkulu usiqinisekisa ngothando lukaNkulunkulu. Okokuqala, uMoya usenza sikwazi ukusondela futhi sikhale kuNkulunkulu omkhulu njengobaba wethu onothando. Bese eza kanye nomoya wethu futhi anezele ubufakazi obuqonde kakhudlwana. Ngaqala ukuwaqonda la mavesi ngokufunda izintshumayelo zika-D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, umshumayeli waseBrithani nombhali waphakathi nekhulu lamashumi amabili. Wenza indaba yokuthi uPawulu wayebhala mayelana nolwazi olujulile lweqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Ekugcineni ngathola ukuthi abahlaziyi abaningi beBhayibheli banamuhla ngokuvamile bavuma ukuthi la mavesi achaza, njengoba esinye isazi seTestamente Elisha sakubeka, “isenzakalo esingokwenkolo esingakhulumeki” ngoba isiqinisekiso sothando olulondekile kuNkulunkulu “siyimfihlakalo ngomqondo ongcono kakhulu wegama. ” UThomas Schreiner unezela ukuthi akumele “silulaze isisekelo esingokomzwelo” sesipiliyoni. “Abanye bayawufulathela lo mbono ngenxa yokuzithoba kwawo, kodwa ukusetshenziswa kabi kwemibono emibuthanweni ethile akukwazi ukushiya ngaphandle ‘okungaqondakali’ kanye nobukhulu obungokomzwelo ngesipiliyoni sobuKristu.”
