3 Bhibhlya isatipanga kuti udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu ndi ‘muoni wakukhonda lipa.’ (Aefesi 3:7) Nakuti nee tisakwanisa kubvera Yahova mwakukwana, nee tathema kutambira kukoma ntima kwa Mulungu. Mwandimomwene, ife tathema kufa. Mambo Salomoni alonga: ‘Pantsi pano nkhabepo munthu wakulungama anacita pyadidi ndzidzi onsene mbakhonda kudawa.’ (Koelete 7:20) Mpostolo Paulu alongambo: ‘Anthu onsene asadawa mbacimwana kuona mbiri ya Mulungu,’ pontho ‘madawo asabweresa kufa.’—Aroma 3:23; 6:23a.
4 Nakuti Yahova asafuna kakamwe anthu, iye atuma ‘Mwanace m’bodzi ekha’ toera kutifera. Ceneci ndi cipangizo cikulu kakamwe ca udidi wakukhonda kutithema. (Jwau 3:16) Paulu alonga kuti Yezu ‘abvazikwa nthimba ya mbiri na ulemerero thangwi apirira mpaka kufa, toera na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu iye afere anthu onsene.’ (Ahebere 2:9) Inde, ‘muoni unapasa Mulungu ndi umaso wakukhonda mala kubulukira mwa Mbuyathu Yezu Kristu.’—Aroma 6:23b.
5, 6. (a) Ninji pinacitika tingatongwa na madawo? (b) Ninji pinacitika tingatongwa na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu?
5 Thangwi yanji tisadawa mbatifa? Bhibhlya isalonga kuti ‘thangwi ya munthu m’bodzi basi, madawo asatonga ninga mambo.’ Nakuti ndife dzindza ya Adhamu, ndife anthu akusowa ungwiro, natenepa tisafa. (Aroma 5:12, 14, 17) Mbwenye tinakwanisa kusankhula kukhonda kutongwa na madawo. Munjira ipi? Tingakhulupira ntsembe ya ciomboli ca Kristu, tisaphindula na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova. Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Pidathimizirika madawo, udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu wathimizirikambo kakamwe. Toera kucitanji? Nakuti madawo asatonga ninga mambo mbabweresa kufa, udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu usatongambo ninga mambo mbubweresa umaso wakukhonda mala kubulukira mwa Mbuyathu Yezu Kristu.’—Aroma 5:20, 21.
6 Maseze ndife anyakudawa mpaka lero, ife nkhabe funa kuti madawo apitirize kutitonga. Natenepa, tingacita cinthu cakuipa, tisaphemba Yahova toera atilekerere. Paulu aticenjeza: ‘Mwa imwe madawo akhonde kukutongani, thangwi nee muli pantsi pa mwambo, mbwenye muli pantsi pa udidi wakukhonda kutithema.’ (Aroma 6:14) Mphapo tinaphindula tani na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu? Paulu alonga: “Udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu usatipfundzisa kukhonda uipi na pifuno pya dziko toera tikhale maso na ndzeru zaulungami na kuperekeka kuna Mulungu m’makhaliro ano a pinthu.”—Tito 2:11, 12, NM.
UDIDI WAKUKHONDA KUTITHEMA ‘USAPANGIZWA MUNJIRA ZAKUSIYANA-SIYANA’
7, 8. Ndi munjira zipi udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova ‘usapangizwa munjira zakusiyana-siyana’? (Onani cithundzithundzi cakutoma.)
7 Mpostolo Pedhru alemba: ‘M’bodzi na m’bodzi adatambira muoni, mbauphatisire toera kutumikira anango ninga ntumiki wa udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu unapangizwa munjira zakusiyana-siyana.’ (1 Pedro 4:10) Kodi pyenepi pisabvekanji? Pisabveka kuti mwakukhonda tsalakana nyatwa zinathimbana na ife mu umaso, Yahova anadzatipasa pinafuna ife toera tipirire. (1 Pedro 1:6) Iye anadzatiphedza toera kukunda mayesero onsene anathimbana na ife.
Mwakukhonda tsalakana mayesero na nyatwa zinathimbana na ife, Yahova anadzatipasa pyonsene pinafuna ife toera kupikunda
8 Mpostolo Jwau alemba: ‘Ife tonsene tatambira mwakukwana udidi wakukhonda kutithema.’ (Jwau 1:16) Nakuti Yahova asapangiza udidi wace wakukhonda kutithema munjira zakusiyana-siyana, ife tisatambira nkhombo zizinji kakamwe. Tendeni tidinge nkhombo zingasi mwa izo.
9. Tisaphindula tani na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova? Tinapangiza tani kupereka kwathu takhuta?
9 Yahova asalekerera madawo athu. Thangwi ya udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova, iye asalekerera madawo athu. Mbwenye iye asacita pyenepi basi ene tingatcunyuka mbatipitiriza kucita pyonsene toera kucalira pifuno pyathu pyakuipa. (Lerini 1 Jwau 1:8, 9.) Paulu afokotoza kuna Akristu akudzodzwa a ndzidzi wace kuti Yahova asalekerera tani madawo. Iye alonga: ‘Mulungu atiombola mu mphambvu za n’cidima mbatiendesa ku umambo wa Mwanace wa pantima adatipasa cipulumuso mwa ciomboli cace, mbatilekerera madawo athu.’ (Akolose 1:13, 14) Tisapereka takhuta kakamwe thangwi ya ntsisi za Mulungu. Nakuti Yahova asalekerera madawo athu, tinakwanisambo kutambira nkhombo zinango zizinji zakutsandzayisa.

Ngakhale tenepo, Paulu alonga: ‘Pikhali ife anyamalwa a Mulungu, takhaliswa pontho mu uxamwali na Mulungu thangwi ya kufa kwa Mwanace.’ (Aroma 5:10) Thangwi ya ciomboli, ife tinakwanisa kukhala axamwali a Mulungu, pyenepi pisabveka kukhala mu ntendere na iye. Paulu afokotoza kuti pyenepi pisabverana tani na udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova, pidalonga iye mafala awa kwa Akristu akudzodzwa: ‘Cincino tisacemerwa akulungama thangwi ya cikhulupiro, tendeni tikhale mu ntendere na Mulungu kubulukira mwa Mbuyathu Yezu Kristu, adatiphedza toera tikhale na cikhulupiro thangwi ya udidi wakukhonda kutithema uli na ife.’ (Aroma 5:1, 2) Ineyi ndi nkhombo ikulu kakamwe!
11. Ndi munjira ipi anyakudzodzwa asaphedza “mabira anango” toera kukhala akulungama?
11 Tisaoniwa kukhala anthu akulungama. Mprofeta Dhanyeli alemba kuti mu ntsiku zakumalisa, ‘anthu audziwisi,’ akuti ndi anyakudzodzwa, mbadaphedza “azinji toera kukhala akulungama.” (Lerini Danyele 12:3, NM.) Kodi anyakudzodzwa asacita tani pyenepi? Iwo asamwaza mphangwa zadidi mbapfundzisa mitemo ya Yahova kuna pikwi na pikwi pya “mabira anango.” (Jwau 10:16) Iwo asaaphedza toera kukhala akulungama pamaso pa Mulungu, pyenepi pisakwanisika thangwi ya udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova. Paulu afokotoza: ‘Na muoni wakukhonda lipa, musacemerwa akulungama kubulukira mu udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu thangwi ya cipulumuso ca ciomboli ca Yezu Kristu.’—Aroma 3:23, 24.

12 Tinakwanisa kufendedzera cifupi Yahova kubulukira mu phembero. Thangwi ya udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova, tinakwanisa kucita phembero kuna iye.

Unoyu ndi mwai ukulu kakamwe! Paulu afokotoza: ‘Ife tiri na ufulu wakulonga na ufulu wa kunfendedzera na cinyindiro kubulukira mu cikhulupiro cathu kwa iye.’—Aefesi 3:12.

Maseze nee tathema, Yahova asatawira maphembero athu. Kazinji kene iye asaphatisira abale na alongo athu toera kutiphedza. Yahova asatawira maphembero athu ‘toera tikhale na cipapo mbatilonga: ‘Yahova ndi mphedzi wanga, sinadzagopa pinthu tayu. Anthu anandicitanji?’’—Ahebere 13:6.

Yezu alonga: ‘Babanga asafuna kuti munthu anadzindikira Mwana mbankhulupira akhale na umaso wakukhonda mala.’ (Jwau 6:40) Natenepa, ife tiri na cidikhiro cakukhala maso kwenda na kwenda thangwi ya udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Yahova. Paulu alonga: ‘Udidi wakukhonda kutithema wa Mulungu wapangizwa, mbubweresa cipulumuso kwa anthu a mitundu yonsene.’—Tito 2:11.
