10, 11. Kodi chiyembekezo chathu Paulo anachiyerekeza ndi chiyani, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani chili chitsanzo choyenera?

¹⁰ Paulo ananena kuti Yehova analonjeza kuti madalitso akadzera mwa Abrahamu. Ndiyeno mtumwiyo anafotokoza kuti: “Mulungu, . . . analoŵa pakati ndi lumbiro; kuti mwa zinthu ziŵiri zosasinthika, [mawu ake ndi lumbiro lake] m’mene Mulungu sakhoza kunama, tikakhale nacho chotichenjeza cholimba, ife amene tidathaŵira kuchigwira chiyembekezo choikika pamaso pathu; chimene tili nacho ngati nangula wa moyo, chokhazikika ndi cholimbanso.” (Ahebri 6:17-19; Genesis 22:16-18) Chiyembekezo cha Akristu odzozedwa n’cha moyo wosakhoza kufa kumwamba. Lero, unyinji wa atumiki a Yehova ali ndi chiyembekezo chosangalatsa cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi la paradaiso. (Luka 23:43) Popanda chiyembekezo chimenecho, munthu sangakhale ndi chikhulupiriro.

¹¹ Nangula ndi chida china cholimba choteteza chombo komanso chofunika kwambiri kuti chombocho chikhale malo amodzi chisatengeke ndi mphepo. Palibe aliyense woyendetsa chombo amene amayamba ulendo kuchoka padoko alibe nangula. Popeza kuti Paulo anapezeka kangapo m’ngozi ya kusweka kwa chombo, anadziŵa kuti moyo wa amalinyero umadalira anangula a chombo chawo. (Machitidwe 27:29, 39, 40; 2 Akorinto 11:25) M’zaka za zana loyamba, chombo chinalibe injini yothandiza mmalinyero kuwongolera chombocho mmene anafunira. Zombo zankhondo zokha n’zimene zinali zochita kupalasa, koma zombo zina wamba zinali kudalira mphepo kuzikankha. Ngati chombo chinali pangozi yokankhidwira kumatanthwe, chokha chimene mmalinyero anali kutha kuchita chinali kuponya nangula m’madzi mpaka nyanja itakhala bata, akudalira kuti nangulayo adzalumabe pansi osazuka. Ndiye chifukwa chake Paulo anayerekeza kuti chiyembekezo cha Mkristu chili ngati “nangula wa moyo, chokhazikika ndi cholimbanso.” (Ahebri 6:19) Pamene anamondwe a chitsutso atiomba kapena takumana ndi ziyeso zina, chiyembekezo chathu chodabwitsa chili ngati nangula amene amatilimbitsa anthu amoyo, kuti chombo chathu cha chikhulupiriro chisatengeketengeke kumka ku mchenga woopsa wa kukayikira kapena ku miyala yangozi ya mpatuko.​—Ahebri 2:1; Yuda 8-13.

12. Kodi tingapeŵe bwanji kulekana ndi Yehova?

¹² Paulo anachenjeza Akristu achihebri kuti: “Tapenyani, abale, kuti kapena ukakhale mwa wina wa inu mtima woipa wosakhulupira, wakulekana ndi Mulungu wamoyo.” (Ahebri 3:12) M’mawu achigiriki, tanthauzo lenileni la “kulekana” ndi “kudzipatula,” ndiko kuti, kuchita mpatuko. Koma tingapeŵe kusweka koipa ngati kumeneko. Chikhulupiriro ndi chiyembekezo zingatithandize kumamatira kwa Yehova ngakhale panthaŵi ya anamondwe oopsa a ziyeso. (Deuteronomo 4:4; 30:19, 20) Chikhulupiriro chathu sichidzakhala ngati chombo chotengekatengeka ndi mphepo za chiphunzitso cha mpatuko. (Aefeso 4:13, 14) Ndipo titakhala ndi chiyembekezo monga nangula, tidzatha kudutsa anamondwe m’moyo monga atumiki a Yehova.

Koma Yehova watipatsa nangula ‘wokhazikika ndi wolimbanso’​—chiyembekezo chathu chodabwitsa.

Namondwe woyamba atangotha, koma winanso asanayambe, tiyeni titsimikize kulimbitsa chiyembekezo chathu ndi kulimbitsanso chikhulupiriro chathu.
