² Pawulo yakiraba nti Abakristaayo abamu baali batwaliriziddwa endowooza enkyamu n’obufirosoofo eby’ensi ya Sitaani. (Bef. 4:17-19) Ekyo naffe kisobola okututuukako. Sitaani, katonda w’enteekateeka eno, akozesa obukodyo obutali bumu ng’ayagala okutuggya ku Yakuwa. Ng’ekyokulabirako, bwe tuba twagala nnyo ettutumu n’ekitiibwa, ayinza okukozesa ebintu ebyo okutuggya ku Yakuwa. Ayinza n’okukozesa ebintu bye twayigira awaka, obuyigirize bwaffe, n’abantu abatwetoolodde okutuleetera okulowooza nga bw’ayagala.

 5. Bintu ki ebibiri ebyogerwako mu Abaruumi 12:2, bye tusaanidde okukola?

Wadde nga twalekera awo okukola ebibi eby’amaanyi bye twakolanga nga tetunnaba kubatizibwa, twetaaga okweyongera okufuba okwewala ekintu kyonna ekiyinza okutuleetera okuddamu okukola ebibi bye twaleka edda. Ekyo tuyinza kukikola tutya? Pawulo yagamba nti: “Mulekere awo okutwalirizibwa enteekateeka y’ebintu eno, naye mukyusibwe nga mufuna endowooza empya.” (Bar. 12:2) N’olwekyo twetaaga okukola ebintu bibiri. Ekisooka, tulina ‘okulekera awo okutwalirizibwa’ ensi eno. Eky’okubiri, tulina ‘okukyusibwa’ ne tufuna endowooza empya.

N’olwekyo buli omu ku ffe asaanidde okwebuuza nti: ‘Enkyukakyuka ze nnakola okufuuka Omukristaayo za kungulu oba ziviira ddala ku mutima?’ Mu Matayo 12:43-45 (Soma), Yesu yalaga ekyo kye tusaanidde okukola. Ebigambo bya Yesu ebyo bituyigiriza ekintu kino ekikulu: Tekimala kweggyamu birowoozo bibi; bwe tumala okuggya mu mitima gyaffe ebirowoozo ebibi, tulina okugijjuza endowooza ya Katonda.
