Vumela Jehova Akuholele Enkhululekweni Sibili
‘Bukisisa emtsetfweni lophelele losikhululako.’—JAK. 1:25.
UNGACHAZA?
Ngumuphi umtsetfo loholela enkhululekweni sibili futsi bobani labazuza kulomtsetfo?
Singayitfola njani inkhululeko sibili?
Nguyiphi inkhululeko letawutfolwa ngulabo labasendleleni leholela ekuphileni?
1, 2. (a) Kwentekani ngenkhululeko yalelive, futsi kungani kunjalo? (b) Nguyiphi inkhululeko letawutfolwa tinceku taJehova?
SIPHILA esikhatsini lesigcwele bugovu, kungalaleli umtsetfo kanye nebudlova. (2 Thim. 3:1-5) Ngesizatfu saloko, bohulumende bashaye imitsetfo leminyenti, bacecesha emaphoyisa baphindze bafaka emakhamera kute babone loko lokwentiwa bantfu. Kulamanye emave, takhamuti tifaka ema-alamu emitini yato, tinkanankana letinyenti kanye nabodaladi labanagezi. Labanye bayesaba kuhamba ebusuku nobe kuvumela bantfwana babo kutsi badlale bodvwa ngaphandle—kungaba kusemini nobe ebusuku. Loku kukhombisa kutsi bantfu bete inkhululeko futsi kubonakala kusetawuchubeka kunjalo.
2 Ensimini yase-Edeni, Sathane watsi kute bantfu bakhululeke, kufanele bangabuswa nguJehova. Lawo bekungemanga laluhlata. Njengobe bantfu bachubeka bangayilaleli imiyalo yaNkulunkulu yekutiphatsa, bubi buyachubeka bandza. Lesimo lesibi lesichubekako siyatitsintsa netinceku taJehova. Nobe kunjalo, sinelitsemba lekutsi sitawukhululeka ekugcilatweni sono nebubi futsi sijabulele loko liBhayibheli lelikubita ngekutsi ‘yinkhululeko nebukhosi bebantfwana baNkulunkulu.’ (Rom. 8:21) Jehova sewucalile kusita tinceku takhe kutsi tilungele leyo nkhululeko. Ngayiphi indlela?
3. Ngumuphi umtsetfo Jehova lawunikete balandzeli baKhristu, futsi ngumiphi imibuto lesitawucoca ngayo?
3 Imphendvulo itfolakala kuloko umbhali weliBhayibheli Jakobe lakubita ngekutsi ‘ngumtsetfo lophelele losikhululako.’ (Fundza Jakobe 1:25.) Lamanye emahumusho eliBhayibheli achaza lamavi ngekutsi “ngumtsetfo losikhululako” (The New English Bible) nangekutsi “ngumtsetfo lophelele wenkhululeko” (The New American Bible). Imvamisa bantfu bacatsanisa umtsetfo nekungakhululeki. Ngako-ke, uyini ‘lomtsetfo lophelele losikhululako’? Lowo mtsetfo usikhulula njani?
UMTSETFO LOSIKHULULAKO
4. Uyini ‘umtsetfo lophelele losikhululako,’ futsi bobani labazuzako kuwo?
4 ‘Umtsetfo lophelele losikhululako’ awusiwo uMtsetfo waMosi, ngobe Jehova wakhipha lomtsetfo kute akhombise ema-Israyeli kutsi anesono nekutsi Khristu abetawugcwalisa loyo mtsetfo. (Mat. 5:17; Gal. 3:19) Jakobe abekhuluma ngamuphi umtsetfo? Abekhuluma ‘ngemtsetfo waKhristu’ lophindze ubitwe ngekutsi ngumtsetfo ‘wekukholwa’ ‘newebantfu labakhululekile.’ (Gal. 6:2; Rom. 3:27; Jak. 2:12) Ngako-ke ‘lomtsetfo lophelele losikhululako’ ufaka ekhatsi konkhe Jehova lakufunako kitsi. EmaKhristu lagcotjiwe ‘naletinye timvu’ bayazuza kulomtsetfo.—Joh. 10:16.
5. Kungani umtsetfo wenkhululeko ungasiwo umtfwalo?
5 Ngalokwehlukile emtsetfweni wemave lamanyenti, ‘lomtsetfo lophelele’ awusiyo inkimbinkimbi nobe umtfwalo, kodvwa unemiyalo netimiso letimelula. (1 Joh. 5:3) Jesu watsi: “Lijoko lami lilula, nemtfwalo wami awusindzi.” (Mat. 11:29, 30) Ngetulu kwaloko, ‘lomtsetfo lophelele’ ute luhla lwetimiso letinyenti nobe tijeziso, ngobe usekelwe elutsandvweni futsi ubhalwe etingcondvweni nasetinhlitiyweni, awukabhalwa ematjeni.—Fundza Hebheru 8:6, 10.
INDLELA ‘UMTSETFO LOPHELELE’ LOSIKHULULA NGAYO
6, 7. Yini lesingayisho ngetimiso taJehova, futsi kungani umtsetfo wenkhululeko ulusito?
6 Imincele Jehova layibekele tidalwa takhe iyatizuzisa iphindze itivikele. Nasi sibonelo: Cabanga ngemitsetfo yemvelo lelawula emandla naletinye tintfo letikhona. Bantfu abakhononi ngekutsi iyabacindzetela lemitsetfo. Kunaloko, bayayijabulela, bacaphela kutsi lemitsetfo yemvelo iyabazuzisa. Ngendlela lefananako, timiso taJehova letivetwe ‘emtsetfweni lophelele’ waKhristu tiyabazuzisa bantfu.
7 Ngaphandle kwekusivikela, lomtsetfo wenkhululeko uyasivumela kutsi senetise tonkhe tifiso tetfu letifanele ngephandle kwekutsi sitilimate nobe singawahloniphi emalungelo alabanye nobe inkhululeko yabo. Ngako-ke, kute sikhululeke futsi sikwati kwenta lesikufisako, kufanele sibe netifiso letinhle letivumelana nebuntfu netimiso taJehova. Ngalamanye emagama, kufanele sitsandze loko lokutsandvwa nguJehova futsi senyanye loko lakwenyanyako. Umtsetfo wenkhululeko uyasisita kutsi sente njalo.—Amo. 5:15
8, 9. Ngutiphi tinzuzo letitfolwa ngulabo labalalela umtsetfo wenkhululeko? Fananisa.
8 Njengobe sinesono, silwa kamatima kute silawule tifiso tetfu letimbi. Nobe kunjalo, njengobe silalela umtsetfo wenkhululeko ngebucotfo siyalubona lusito lolunemandla lwalomtsetfo ngisho nanyalo. Ase sifananise: Jay losandza kuchutjelwa sifundvo seliBhayibheli abenemkhuba wekubhema ligwayi. Ngesikhatsi afundza kutsi Nkulunkulu akawutsandzi lomkhuba wakhe, kwadzingeka kutsi atsatse sincumo sekutsi utawuchubeka yini nalomkhuba nobe utawulalela Jehova. Ngekuhlakanipha, wakhetsa kukhonta Nkulunkulu ngisho nobe bekumatima kuyekela kubhema. Wativa njani ngemuva kwekuyekela lomkhuba? Watsi: “Ngajabula kakhulu futsi ngativa ngikhululekile.”
9 Jay watibonela kutsi inkhululeko yalelive levumela bantfu kutsi ‘banake kwenyama’ ibenta tigcili, kantsi inkhululeko yaJehova lesho ‘kunaka kwemoya’ iyabakhulula iphindze ibaholele ‘ekuphileni lokunekuthula.’ (Rom. 8:5, 6) Wawatfola kuphi Jay emandla ekulwisana nemkhuba lobewumgcilata? Wawatfola kuNkulunkulu hhayi kuye. Watsi: “Ngafundza liBhayibheli njalo, ngathantazela umoya longcwele futsi ngasebentisa nelusito lebengilutfola ebandleni lebuKhristu.” Natsi kungasisita loku kute sitfole inkhululeko sibili. Asesibone kutsi kungasisita njani.
BUKISISA EVINI LANKULUNKULU
10. Kusho kutsini ‘kubukisisa’ emtsetfweni waNkulunkulu?
10 Naku lokushiwo yincenye yembhalo waJakobe 1:25: “Lobukisisa emtsetfweni losikhululako bese uhamba ngawo . . . utawuba ngulobusisiwe ekwenteni kwakhe.” Leligama lesiGriki lelihunyushwe ngekutsi ‘bukisisa’ lisho “kubuka intfo sikhatsi lesidze,” lokusho kwenta imetamo yekunakisisa. Kuliciniso kutsi nangabe sifuna umtsetfo wenkhululeko utsintse ingcondvo nenhlitiyo yetfu, kufanele sente imetamo yekufundza liBhayibheli njalo futsi sithantaze bese sizindla ngaloko lesikufundzako.—1 Thim. 4:15.
11, 12. (a) Jesu wakugcizelela njani kubaluleka kwekuphila ngeliciniso? (b) Njengobe kuvetiwe lapha ngenhla, nguyiphi ingoti lokufanele ibalekelwe ngulabasebasha?
11 Ngesikhatsi lesifananako, kufanele siphikelele nobe sibeketele nasisebentisa liVi laNkulunkulu futsi nasenta njalo, senta liciniso libe yindlela yetfu yekuphila. Jesu waveta imiva lefananako ngesikhatsi atsi kubantfu labebakholwa kuye: “Nanime emavini ami, nibafundzi bami sibili; niyawulati liciniso, neliciniso liyawunikhulula.” (Joh. 8:31, 32) Lenye incwadzi ichaza leligama lelitsi ‘kwati’ ngekutsi kukhombisa kubonga ngesizatfu sekutsi “loko ‘lokwatiwako’ kuligugu futsi kubaluleke kakhulu kulowo lonelwati ngako.” Ngekwenta njalo, ‘siyawulati’ liciniso ngemcondvo lophelele nangabe siphila ngalo. Ngako-ke, singasho kutsi ‘livi laNkulunkulu’ ‘liyasebenta’ kitsi, lishintja buntfu betfu kute sikwati kulingisa Babe wetfu losezulwini.—1 Thes. 2:13.
12 Tibute, ‘Ngilati mbamba yini liciniso? Ngiyaphila yini ngalo? Nobe ngisafuna ‘inkhululeko’ yalelive?’ Nakakhumbula ebusheni bakhe, lomunye dzadze lowakhuliswa batali labangemaKhristu wabhala: “Nawukhulela ecinisweni kuba shengatsi Jehova uhlale akhona. Kodvwa esimeni sami angizange ngitinike sikhatsi sekufundza ngaye, ngimati. Angizange ngenyanye loko lakwenyanyako. Bengingakholelwa kutsi unendzaba naloko lengikwentako, futsi angizange ngifundze nekwetsembela kuye nangisenkingeni. Bengetsembele ekwatini kwami, lokuyintfo nyalo lengiyibonako kutsi beyingenangcondvo ngobe bengingati lutfo.” Lokujabulisako kutsi lodzadze wabona kutsi indlela labecabanga ngayo beyiliphutsa, futsi wenta lushintjo lolukhulu. Waze waba ngisho nalihlahlandlela lelivamile.
UMOYA LONGCWELE UNGAKUSITA UKHULULEKE
13. Umoya longcwele waNkulunkulu usisita njani kutsi sibe nenkhululeko?
13 Embhalweni wa-2 Khorinte 3:17, sifundza kutsi ‘lapho kukhona umoya waJehova nenkhululeko ikhona.’ Umoya waJehova usisita njani kutsi sibe nenkhululeko? Lokunye losisita ngako, kutsi sibe netici tebuntfu letibalulekile kute sibe nenkhululeko—“lutsandvo, nekujabula, nekuthula, nekubeketela, nebubele, nekulunga, nekwetsembeka, nekutfobeka, nekutibamba.” (Gal. 5:22, 23) Liciniso lelibonakala emhlabeni lamuhla kutsi ngaphandle kwaletici tebuntfu, ikakhulukati lutsandvo, kute bantfu labangatfola inkhululeko sibili. Ngemuva kwekusho titselo temoya, umphostoli Pawula wachubeka watsi: “Kute umtsetfo lophambene naletintfo.” Abesho kutsini ngalamavi? Abesho kutsi kukhula kwetitselo temoya waNkulunkulu akucondziswa ngumtsetfo lotsite. (Gal. 5:18) Ngaphandle kwaloko, beyitawuba yini injongo yalowo mtsetfo? Kuyintsandvo yaJehova kutsi sichubeke sakha tici tebuntfu baKhristu futsi sihlale sitiveta ngaphandle kwekuphatamiseka.
14. Umoya welive ubagcilata njani labawuvumelako?
14 Labo labacondziswa ngumoya walelive futsi labajabulela kwenetisa tifiso tabo tenyama, bangase bacabange kutsi banenkhululeko. (Fundza 2 Phetro 2:18, 19.) Kodvwa liciniso likutsi batigcili. Kudzingeka imitsetfo netimiso letinyenti kute kwehliswe tifiso tabo nekutiphatsa kwabo lokulimatako. Pawula utsi: “Umtsetfo awubekelwa bantfu labalungile, kepha ubekelwa labangawugcini umtsetfo, nalabangalaleli.” (1 Thim. 1:9, 10) Baphindze babe tigcili tesono, lesiyinkhosi lenelunya ngobe benta “intsandvo yenyama.” (Ef. 2:1-3) Bantfu labanjalo bafanana netilokatana letingena esitjeni lesineluju. Ngesizatfu sekutsi tifuna kwenetisa sifiso sato, titikhandza setibambekile.—Jak. 1:14, 15.
INKULULEKO LETFOLAKALA EBANDLENI LEBUKHRISTU
15, 16. Kubaluleke ngani kutihlanganisa nelibandla futsi nguyiphi inkhululeko lesiyijabulelako?
15 Ngesikhatsi ucala kutihlanganisa nelibandla lebuKhristu, bewungatihlanganisi nelicembu lelitsite nje. Esikhundleni saloko, weta ebandleni ngobe Jehova wakudvonsa. (Joh. 6:44) Yini leyamenta wakudvonsa? Wabona umuntfu lolungile yini nalowesaba Nkulunkulu? Mhlawumbe ungatsi “akusinjalo!” Yini-ke leyabonwa nguNkulunkulu kuwe? Wabona inhlitiyo letawulalela umyalo wakhe, futsi letawutitfoba etimfundzisweni takhe temusa. Ebandleni, Jehova uyayondla inhlitiyo yakho ngelivi lakhe, akukhulule etimfundzisweni tenkholo yemanga nasetinkholelweni letilite aphindze akufundzise indlela yekuba netici tebuntfu baKhristu. (Fundza Efesu 4:22-24.) Umphumela waloko uba kutsi ujabulela kuba semkhatsini webantfu lokukuphela kwabo labangabitwa ngekutsi ‘bantfu labakhululekile.’—Jak. 2:12.
16 Ase ucabange ngaloku: Nawunebantfu labatsandza Jehova ngenhlitiyo yabo yonkhe, uyesaba yini? Nangabe ucoca nebazalwane eHholweni leMbuso, uhlale utigodlile yini tintfo takho wesaba kutsi titawulahleka? Cha, esikhundleni saloko, utiva ukhululekile. Ungativa ngendlela lefananako yini kuleminye imibutsano? Cha, angeke! Ngetulu kwaloko, inkhululeko loyijabulela nyalo nebantfu baNkulunkulu imane ikhombisa leyo lotayijabulela esikhatsini lesitako.
‘INKHULULEKO NEBUKHOSI BEBANTFWANA BANKULUNKULU’
17. Inkhululeko yebantfu ihlobene njani ‘nekwembulwa kwemadvodzana aNkulunkulu’?
17 Ngesikhatsi akhuluma ngenkhululeko Jehova latayinika tikhonti takhe letisemhlabeni, Pawula wabhala: “Indalo yonkhe ilindzele ngekulangatelela lokukhulu kutsi Nkulunkulu embule emadvodzana akhe.” Wachubeka watsi: “Indalo ngalelinye lilanga iyawukhululwa kulobugcili bekubola, ibe nesabelo kulenkhululeko nebukhosi bebantfwana baNkulunkulu.” (Rom. 8:19-21) “Indalo” imelela bantfu labanelitsemba lekuphila emhlabeni, labatawuzuza ‘ekwembulweni’ kwemadvodzana aNkulunkulu lagcotjwe ngemoya. Lokwembulwa kutawucala ngalesikhatsi ‘lamadvodzana’ avuselwa endzaweni yemoya, asebente naKhristu ekuhlanteni umhlaba logcwele bubi futsi aholele “sicumbi lesikhulu sebantfu” eveni lelisha.—Semb. 7:9, 14.
18. Inkhululeko yebantfu labalalelako itawandza njani futsi nguyiphi inkhululeko labatayijabulela ekugcineni?
18 Bantfu labakhululiwe batawujabulela inkhululeko lensha futsi lephelele—kukhululeka emandleni aSathane nasemadimonini akhe. (Semb. 20:1-3) Leyo kutawube kuyinkhululeko sibili! Ngemuva kwaloko, emakhosi nebaphristi labakanye naKhristu labangu-144 000 batawuchubeka bakhulula bantfu kancane kancane ngekutsi basebentise tinzuzo temhlatjelo wenhlawulo kudzimate kube ngulapho sono lesabangelwa ngu-Adamu sesisuswe sonkhe. (Semb. 5:9, 10) Ngemuva kwekutiveta betsembekile ngisho nobe balingwa, bantfu batawutfola inkhululeko lephelele Jehova labefuna babe nayo kusukela ekucaleni—‘inkhululeko nebukhosi bebantfwana baNkulunkulu.’ Ase ucabange nje ngaloku. Ngeke kusaba matima kwenta lokulungile emehlweni aNkulunkulu, ngobe umtimba wakho wonkhe utawube ute sono futsi buntfu bakho butawentiwa bufanane nebaNkulunkulu.
19. Yini lokufanele sichubeke siyenta lamuhla kute sihlale endleleni leya enkhululekweni sibili?
19 Uyafisa yini kuba ‘nenkhululeko nebukhosi bebantfwana baNkulunkulu’? Nangabe kunjalo,vumela ingcondvo nenhlitiyo yakho ichubeke icondziswa ‘ngulomtsetfo lophelele losikhululako.’ Fundza imiBhalo ngekutimisela, uphile ngeliciniso ulente libe lakho. Thantazela umoya longcwele. Zuza ebandleni lebuKhristu nakuloko Jehova lakufundzisa kona. Ungamvumeli Sathane akudukise njengobe enta Eva wacabanga kutsi tindlela taJehova tiyacindzetela. Ciniseka ngekutsi Sathane uhlakaniphile. Kodvwa njengobe sitawufundza esihlokweni lesilandzelako, kufanele ‘siwati emachinga aSathane. Ngako-ke, akukafaneli simvumele asehlule.’—2 Khor. 2:11.

Ngisafisa yini kuba ‘nenkhululeko’ yalelive?
[Titfombe ekhasini 9]
Ngilentile yini liciniso laba yindlela lengiphila ngayo?
