Thola i AppUkugxiliswa Othandweni: Ukuphila Impilo YobuKristu NgokugcweleIsampula
Biza Igama LeNkosi
Siyawabona amandla amagama nokuthi amele ini. Incwadi kaPawulu ebhalela amaKristu aseRoma iyincazelo eqhubekayo yezindaba ezinhle zikaJesu Kristu ephendula imibuzo ethi ‘Liyini ivangeli?’, ‘Kungani silidinga?’, ‘Ingabe singasindiswa ngokugcina umthetho? ’, ‘Kusho ukuthini ukuba nokholo?’, ‘Ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu kusibeka kanjani silungile kuNkulunkulu?’ Lapho efika esahlukweni 10, uPawulu ufuna ukugcizelela ukubaluleka kwezindaba ezinhle emhlabeni wonke—ukuthi insindiso iwukuthi kwabo bonke. Ukubiza igama likaJesu, uthi, kuwukusindiswa: ‘Wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa’.
Lawa amandla ahluke kakhulu egameni! Esahlukweni 9, uPawulu waqeda ukubhidliza umqondo wokuthi ukugcina umthetho kungaletha insindiso - u-Israyeli, othembele emthethweni, uyozuza ekusindisweni kuphela ngokukholwa, kanjalo nomhlaba wonke. Ngempela, kuwumsangano ukuphakamisa ukuthi umuntu angasindiswa ngokugcina umthetho. Ungase uzame ukukhuphukela ezulwini ukuze uthole uKristu onyukile noma wehlele kwalasha ukukhuphula uKristu kwabafileyo. Insindiso ilula kakhulu kunezimfuno ezingasho lutho zokufuna uJesu Kristu, ngoba utholwa yibo bonke ngokholo.
Impilo yobufundi akuyona, yebo, ukukhetha okulula, kodwa kukhona ubulula esinyathelweni sokuqala sohambo. Upawulu ucaphuna iTestamente Elidala - ‘Izwi liseduze nawe, emlonyeni wakho nasenhliziyweni yakho’—ukuhlanganisa isidingo senkolelo yangaphakathi nomsebenzi wangaphandle. Ayikho into enjengomKristu oyimfihlo: ‘uma uvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi, ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, uyakusindiswa’ . Amandla omsebenzi aba, eBandleni lokuqala, aba isandulela esilula seSivumokholo – ‘uJesu uyiNkosi.’ Umphumela walokhu kuvuma kwangaphakathi nangaphandle ukuthi kugxilisa ivangeli ezimpilweni zethu: sikholelwa ngaphakathi futhi siyalungisiswa (ibekwe kulungile noNkulunkulu); sivuma ngomlomo wethu ngaphandle futhi sithole ngomusa isipho sikaNkulunkulu sensindiso. Amandla egama ayaguqula.
