“Pali tchimo lobweretsa imfa.”—1 YOHANE 5:16.
1, 2. Kodi tikudziwa bwanji kuti ndi zotheka kuchimwira mzimu woyera wa Mulungu?
“NDAKHALA ndikuvutika ndi maganizo akuti ndachimwira mzimu woyera.” Mawu amenewa analembedwa ndi mayi wina ku Germany ngakhale kuti anali kutumikira Mulungu. Kodi ndi zotheka Mkhristu kuchimwira mzimu woyera, kapena kuti mphamvu ya Mulungu yogwira ntchito?
2 Inde, ndi zotheka kuchimwira mzimu woyera wa Yehova. Yesu Khristu anati: “Anthu adzakhululukidwa tchimo la mtundu uliwonse ndi mnyozo uliwonse, koma wonyoza mzimu sadzakhululukidwa.” (Mateyo 12:31) Tikuchenjezedwanso kuti: “Ngati timachita uchimo dala pambuyo podziwa choonadi molondola, sipatsalanso nsembe ina ya machimo athu. Koma pamakhala chiyembekezo china choopsa cha chiweruzo.” (Aheberi 10:26, 27) Nayenso mtumwi Yohane analemba kuti: “Pali tchimo lobweretsa imfa.” (1 Yohane 5:16) Koma kodi zili kwa munthu amene wachimwa kwambiriyo kudziwa ngati wachita “tchimo lobweretsa imfa” kapena ayi?

3 Yehova ndiye Woweruza wamkulu wa anthu ochimwa. Zimenezi ndi zoona chifukwa tonsefe tidzayankha mlandu kwa iye, ndipo iye amachita chilungamo nthawi zonse. (Genesis 18:25; Aroma 14:12) Yehova ndiye amadziwa ngati tachita tchimo losakhululukidwa, ndipo angatichotsere mzimu wake. (Salmo 51:11) Koma ngati tili ndi chisoni chachikulu chifukwa cha tchimo limene tachita, n’kutheka kuti ndife olapadi. Nanga kodi kulapa kwenikweni n’kutani?
4. (a) Kodi kulapa kumatanthauza chiyani? (b) Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani lemba la Salmo 103:10-14 lili lotonthoza mtima kwambiri?

Iye anati: “[Yehova] sanatichitira monga mwa zolakwa zathu, kapena kutibwezera monga mwa mphulupulu zathu. Pakuti monga m’mwamba mutalikira ndi dziko lapansi, motero chifundo chake chikulira iwo akumuopa Iye. Monga kum’mawa kutanimpha ndi kumadzulo, momwemo anatisiyanitsira kutali zolakwa zathu. Monga atate achitira ana ake chifundo, Yehova achitira chifundo iwo akumuopa Iye. Popeza adziwa mapangidwe athu; akumbukira kuti ife ndife fumbi.”—Salmo 103:10-14.

Iye anati: “Umu ndi mmene tidzadziwira kuti ndife ochokera m’choonadi, ndipo tidzatsimikizira mitima yathu pamaso pake za chilichonse chimene mitima yathu ingatitsutse, chifukwa Mulungu ndi wamkulu kuposa mitima yathu ndipo amadziwa zonse. Okondedwa, ngati mitima yathu sititsutsa, tili ndi ufulu wa kulankhula kwa Mulungu; ndipo chilichonse chimene tipempha, iye adzatipatsa, chifukwa tikusunga malamulo ake ndi kuchita zomukondweretsa.”—1 Yohane 3:19-23.
6 ‘Tikudziwa kuti ndife ochokera m’choonadi’ chifukwa chakuti timakonda abale athu ndipo tilibe chizolowezi chochita tchimo. (Salmo 119:11) Ngati pazifukwa zina mtima wathu ukutitsutsa, tizikumbukira kuti “Mulungu ndi wamkulu kuposa mitima yathu ndipo amadziwa zonse.” Yehova amatichitira chifundo chifukwa chakuti amadziwa kuti tili ndi “chikondi chaubale chopanda chinyengo,” tikulimbana ndi uchimo, ndiponso tikuyesetsa kuchita chifuniro chake. (1 Petulo 1:22) Mtima wathu ‘sungatitsutse’ ngati timakhulupirira Yehova, timakonda abale athu, ndiponso ngati tilibe chizolowezi chochita dala tchimo. Zikatere, timakhala ndi “ufulu wa kulankhula kwa Mulungu” m’pemphero, ndipo amatiyankha chifukwa chakuti tikusunga malamulo ake.

(Yakobe 5:14) Ngati ifeyo tikuvutika mwanjira imeneyi, mosakayikira zitithandiza kuona zimene Malemba amanena za anthu amene machimo awo anakhululukidwa.
12 Mfumu Davide inachimwa kwambiri ndi Bateseba, mkazi wa Uriya. Davide ali pa tsindwi la nyumba yake, anaona mkazi wokongola ameneyu akusamba. Kenako analamula kuti amubweretse ku nyumba yake yachifumu ndipo anagona naye. Atauzidwa kuti mkaziyo ali ndi pathupi, anakonza zoti Uriya mwamuna wake, agone naye kuti zisadziwike kuti anachita naye chigololo. Zitakanika, mfumu inakonza zoti Uriya aphedwe ku nkhondo.

(Machitidwe 2:14-36) Kodi pali chifukwa chilichonse chokayikirira kuti Mulungu angakhululukire Akhristu amene alapadi masiku ano? Wamasalmo anaimba kuti: “Mukasunga mphulupulu, Yehova, adzakhala chilili ndani, Ambuye? Koma kwa Inu kuli chikhululukiro.”—Salmo 130:3, 4.

Ndipo pemphero la chikhulupiriro lidzachiritsa wodwalayo, ndipo Yehova adzamuutsa. Ndiponso ngati anachita machimo, iye adzakhululukidwa.”—Yakobe 5:14, 15.

Ayenera ‘kubala zipatso zosonyeza kulapa.’—Luka 3:8.
