Ukuzinikela Ngokugcwele: IndaloIsampula

UNkulunkulu Udale Inhloso 

UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: “Zalani nande; gcwalisani umhlaba niwunqobe. nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.” UGenesise 1:28 NIV

Ngemva kokudala abantu, uNkulunkulu wasinika umsebenzi okufanele siwenze: Gcwalisani umhlaba futhi niwunqobe. Lona omunye womehluko ojule kakhulu phakathi kwendaba yendalo eseBhayibhelini nezinye izindaba zakudala zendalo.

Eningini lezinye izinkolo zasendulo, abantu badalwa ukuze babe yizigqila zonkulunkulu, kodwa indaba yobuKristu isitshela ukuthi uMdali wakho konke-owakhuluma indawo yonke yaba khona-wasidala ukuba sisebenze na Ye, hhayi nje ngenxa yakhe.

UNkulunkulu akadingi usizo lwethu, kodwa ufuna usizo lwethu. Esinye sezici ezibalulekile zesimo sikaNkulunkulu uthando Lwakhe. Futhi wasidala njengesenzo sothando ukuze siphile futhi sibambisane Naye ekubuseni kwendalo. 

Lo mbono usaguqukile namuhla, kodwa ngabe lokhu bekuyobonakala kuqine kangakanani ezilalelini zamaHeberu ezizwa la mazwi okokuqala kuMose?

Izizukulwane ngezizukulwane, babephile futhi bafa njengezigqila zikaFaro eGibhithe. Babenesimo sokukholelwa ukuthi ngeke babe lutho ngaphandle kwezigqila. Umqondo wesithunzi somuntu kanye nenjongo wawungeke uyicabange.

Nokho, ngemva kokukhululwa ebugqilini, babuyiselwa emsebenzini wabo abahlanganyeli bakaNkulunkulu. Kwabaningi babo, cishe kwabonakala kukuhle kakhulu ukuba kube yiqiniso—kodwa cishe kwakunesiqephu esincane sabo esazi ukuthi izinto kwakufanele zibe ngale ndlela.

Phela, ekujuleni kwenhliziyo, sonke sinesifiso sokuba yingxenye yokuthile okukhulu kunathi—ukufaka isandla emsebenzini obalulekile futhi owenza umehluko. Leso sifiso sibhalwe ku-DNA yethu uMenzi wezulu nomhlaba. Futhi Wasenza ukuba sifeze inhloso yokuhlanganyela Naye. 

UJehova uNkulunkulu wayesemthatha umuntu, wambeka ensimini yase-Edene ukuba ayilime, ayigcine. Genesise 2:15 NIV

Kuye kwashiwo abanye ukuthi izithako ezimbili eziyinhloko zokuphila okunenjongo umsebenzi obalulekile kanye nabantu obathandayo. Amakhasi ambalwa okuqala eBhayibheli asibonisa ukuthi sidalelwe ukwenza umsebenzi obalulekile—ukusebenzelana noNkulunkulu ukuze abuse phezu kwendalo—futhi sidalelwe ukuxhumana nabantu esibathandayo—uBaba wethu osezulwini, nomunye nomunye. 

Imibuzo Yokubhala  

• Bhala ivesi olifunde namuhla. Isho ukuthini “inhloso” kuwe? Kusho ukuthini “ubudlelwane” kuwena? 
• Cabanga ngomholi omuhle. Yini ekugqamayo ngobuholi babo?   
• Imuphi umsebenzi ongawenza ukuze usize ukwenza umehluko ezimpilweni zalabo abaseduze nawe?
