Pidakwana tayu munthu kulonga basi kuti ndi Nkristu. Yezu alonga: ‘Si onsene anandicemera Mbuya, Mbuya, anadzapita mu Umambo wakudzulu, mbwenye ale anacita pinafuna Babanga wakudzulu.’ Natenepa, toera kutawirika kwa Mulungu, tisafunika kupfundza pinafuna Mulungu kwa ife na kupicita.

Tenepa munthu wa Mulungu anakhala wakukwana na wakukhunganyika, mbakwanisa kucita pinthu pyadidi pyonsene.’ (2 Timoti 3:16, 17) Mpostolo Paulu alembera Akristu andzace: “Mwatambira mafala a mphangwa zadidi za Mulungu, zidafokotoza ife; hamudaatambira tayu ninga mafala a anthu mbwenye ninga mafala a Mulungu, ande ndiwo mafala a Mulungu.” (1 Atesalonika 2:13) Natenepa, pikhulupiro na pyakucita pya uphemberi wandimomwene nkhabe buluswa m’maonero peno m’miyambo ya anthu. Ipyo pisabuluswa m’Mafala akupumirwa a Mulungu, Bhibhlya.

Mu phembero kwa Babace wakudzulu, iye alonga: ‘Mphangwa zanu ndi undimomwene.’ (Jwau 17:17) Yezu akhakhulupira Mafala a Mulungu, na pyonsene pidapfundzisa iye pikhabverana na Malemba. Kazinji kene Yezu alonga: “Pyalembwa.” (Mateo 4:4, 7, 10) Buluka penepo, Yezu akhalonga mafala anagumanika mu lemba. Munjira ibodzi ene, mbumba ya Mulungu lero nkhabe pfundzisa manyerezero awo ene.

Kulambira kweneku kusaphataniza kudziwisa anthu dzina ya Mulungu wandimomwene na makhaliro ace. Masalmo 83:18, NM isalonga: “Imwe, wakuti dzina yanu ndi Yahova, imwe mwekha ndimwe Wankulu Kakamwe kupiringana pyonsene pa dziko yapantsi.” Yezu apereka citsandzo mukuphedza anango kudziwa Mulungu, ninga mudalongera iye mu phembero: ‘Ine ndaadziwisa dzina yanu anthu a pantsi pano, adandipasa imwe.’ (Jwau 17:6) Munjira ibodzi ene, alambiri andimomwene lero asapfundzisa anango pya dzina ya Mulungu, cifuniro cace, na makhaliro ace.
9, 10. Ndi munjira zipi Akristu andimomwene asapangiza kufunana unango na ndzace?
9 Mbumba ya Mulungu isapangiza ufuni wandimomwene kwa unango na ndzace. Yezu alonga: “Na kufunana kwanu anthu onsene anadzadzindikira kuti ndimwe anyakupfundza anga.” (Jwau 13:35) Akristu akutoma akhali na kufunana kweneku unango na ndzace. Ufuni unatipfundzisa Mulungu usamalisa kusankhulana kwa mitundu, madzindza na makhaliro a anthu, pontho kusaagumanyiza pabodzi mu ubale wandimomwene wakukhonda fudzika. (Lerini Akolose 3:14.) Anthu a uphemberi waunthawatawa nkhabe kufunana kweneku kwa ubale. Tisadziwa tani pyenepi? Iwo asaphana unango na ndzace thangwi ya kusiyana kwa madziko na kwa madzindza. Akristu andimomwene nkhabe kwata mpfuti toera kupha abale awo Acikristu peno anango. Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Ana a Mulungu na ana a Dyabo anadziwika tenepa: uyu anakhonda kucita pya ulungami, si wa Mulungu tayu; siyembo tayu, uyu anakhonda kufuna mbale wace. Tifunane. Tikhonde kucita ninga Kayini, adakhala wa nyakuipa, mbapha m’bale wace.’—1 Jwau 3:10-12; 4:20, 21.
10 Inde, ufuni wandimomwene usabveka pizinji kupiringana kukhonda kupha anango. Na ntima onsene, Akristu andimomwene asaphatisira ndzidzi wawo, mphambvu na mpfuma yawo toera kuphedzana na kuwangisana unango na ndzace. (Ahebere 10:24, 25) Iwo asaphedzana unango na ndzace m’midzidzi yakunentsa na asatsalakana anango mwakukhulupirika. Mu umaso wawo asaphatisira uphungu wa Bhibhlya toera ‘kucita pinthu pyadidi kuli anthu onsene.’—Agalata 6:10.

11 Akristu andimomwene asatawira Yezu Kristu ninga njira inaphatisira Mulungu toera kutipulumusa. Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Kupulumuswa na munthu unango kunacimwanika. Nkhabepo pantsi pa thambo dzina inango idapaswa anthu, toera akwanise nayo kupulumuka.’ (Machitiro 4:12) Ninga taona mu Nsolo 5, Yezu apereka umaso wace ninga ciomboli kwa anthu akubvera. (Mateo 20:28) Pontho, Yezu ndi Mambo adaikhwa na Mulungu mu Umambo wakudzulu kuti adzatonge dziko yonsene yapantsi. Mulungu asafuna kuti ife tibvere Yezu na kuphatisira pipfundziso pyace khala tisafuna umaso wakukhonda mala. Na thangwi ineyi Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Uyu anakhulupira Mwana, ana umaso wakukhaliratu, mbwenye uyu anakhonda kunkhulupirira hanadzaona umaso tayu.’—Jwau 3:36.
12. Kodi kukhonda cita khundu ya dziko kusaphatanizanji?
12 Alambiri andimomwene nkhabe cita khundu ya dziko. Mukhatongwa iye pamaso pa Pilato, ntongi Waciroma, Yezu alonga: ‘Umambo wanga si wa pantsi pano tayu.’ (Jwau 18:36) Mwakukhonda tsalakana dziko inakhala iwo, atowereri andimomwene a Yezu asatongwa na Umambo wace wakudzulu, natenepa asapitiriza na unakatinakati mu nkhani ya ndale za dziko. Iwo nkhabe cita khundu mukumenyana kwawo. Alambiri a Yahova nee asacita khundu mu pisankhulo pya anango ninga kucita nkhundu ya nsoka wa ndale, kufuna kusankhulwa peno kuenda kavotari. Maseze alambiri andimomwene a Mulungu nkhabe cita khundu mu pinthu pya ndale, iwo asabvera mitemo ya dziko. Thangwi yanji? Thangwi Mafala a Mulungu asaatonga “kubvera” utongi wa “akulu a dziko.” (Aroma 13:1, MZ) Anthu andale angaphemba pinthu pyakukhonda bverana na pinafuna Mulungu, alambiri andimomwene asatowezera citsandzo ca apostolo adalonga tenepa: ‘Ife tisafunika kubvera Mulungu ninga ntongi, kupiringana anthu.’—Machitiro 5:29; Marko 12:17.

Yezu alongeratu: ‘Penepo mphangwa zadidi za Umambo zinamwazwa pantsi ponsene, toera mukhale amboni anga pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonsene. Pingamala ipi, unadzabwera ndzidzi wa kumalisiratu pyonsene.’ (Mateo 24:14) M’mbuto mwakuwangisa anthu kunyindira kuti mautongi a anthu anadzamalisa nyatwa zawo, atowereri andimomwene a Yezu Kristu asamwaza mphangwa zakuti Umambo wakudzulu wa Mulungu ndi utongi unafuna kudzamalisa nyatwa za anthu.

Pinafuna imwe mbapicitwe pantsi pano ninga kudzulu.’ (Mateo 6:10) Mafala a Mulungu alongeratu kuti Umambo unoyu wakudzulu ‘unadzakunda mbupasa manyadzo mautongi anango, iwo mbukhala pyawo mwa kuwanga mwene.’—Danyele 2:44; Apokalipse 16:14; 19:19-21.

15 Kukhulupira Mulungu basi nkhabe kwana toera kunkomeresa. Bhibhlya isalonga kuti ngakhale mademonyo ene asakhulupira kuti Mulungu alipo. (Tyago 2:19) Mbwenye iwo nkhabe cita cifuno ca Mulungu na nkhabe tawirika kwa iye. Toera kukhala akutawirika kwa Mulungu, nee tisafunika kukhulupira basi kuti iye alipo, mbwenye tisafunikambo kucita cifuno cace. Tisafunika pontho kusiya uphemberi waunthawatawa na kuphatisisa ulambiri wandimomwene.

Lekani kukhuya pinthu pyakunyanyasa. Tenepa ndinadzakutambirani.’ (2 Akorinto 6:17; Izaiya 52:11) Natenepa Akristu andimomwene asacalira pinthu pyonsene pyakuphatana na ulambiri waunthawatawa.
17, 18. ‘Babilonya Wankulu’ ndi ninji, na thangwi yanji anthu asafunika ‘kufuluka’ mwenemo mwakucimbiza?
17 Bhibhlya isapangiza kuti mitundu yonsene ya uphemberi waunthawatawa isacita khundu ya ‘Babilonya Wankulu.’a (Apokalipse 17:5) Dzina ineyi isatikumbusa nzinda wakale wa Babilonya, mudatoma uphemberi waunthawatawa mudamala Cigumula ca ntsiku za Nowa. Pipfundziso pizinji na pinacitwa cincino mu uphemberi waunthawatawa pyatoma kale kakamwe ku Babilonya. Mwacitsandzo, Ababilonya akhalambira alungu atatu peno utatu. Lero, cipfundziso cikulu ca mauphemberi mazinji ndi Utatu. Mbwenye Bhibhlya isapfundzisa pakweca kuti pana Mulungu m’bodzi basi wandimomwene, Yahova, pontho Yezu Kristu ndi Mwanace. (Jwau 17:3) Ababilonya akhakhulupirambo kuti anthu ali na moyo wakukhonda kufa wakuti usapulumuka pakufa kwa manungo, pontho kuti unakwanisa kunentseka m’mbuto yakuthabuka. Lero, cipfundziso cakuti munthu ana moyo peno nzimu wakukhonda kufa wakuti usathabuswa n’djenje ya moto cisapfundziswa na mauphemberi mazinji.

Kodi musaona thangwi yanji mphyakufunika kwa imwe kukhonda kucita khundu ku pinthu pyonsene pya Babilonya Wankulu? Yahova Mulungu asafuna kuti imwe ‘mufuluke’ mwakucimbiza ndzidzi mbuciripo.—Lerini Apokalipse 18:4, 8.
19. Kodi munadzawinanji mungatumikira Yahova?

Kodi si pyandzeru tayu kucita pinaphembwa toera mugumanyikane na alambiri andimomwene kutomera cincino?
