Imibuto Levela Kubafundzi

Lendzaba ikhombisa kutsi umphostoli Pawula abekhuluma ngemlayeto weliBhayibheli, nobe injongo yaNkulunkulu lekukhulunywa ngayo eBhayibhelini.

Sivame kusebentisa Hebheru 4:12 etincwadzini tetfu kute sichaze kutsi liBhayibheli linemandla ekugucula kuphila, futsi usebenta kahle kakhulu. Nobe kunjalo, kuyasita kuhlola Hebheru 4:12 ngendlela lebanti. Pawula abekhutsata emaKhristu langemaHebheru kutsi aphile ngekuvumelana netinjongo taNkulunkulu. Letinyenti tato tabhalwa emiBhalweni lengcwele. Pawula wenta sibonelo ngema-Israyeli labekakhululwe eGibhithe. Abenelitsemba lekungena ‘eveni lesetsembiso lelinelubisi neluju,’ lapho abetawuphumula khona.​—Eks. 3:8; Dut. 12:9, 10.

Nguleyo-ke injongo yaNkulunkulu. Kodvwa ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, ema-Israyeli aba nenkhani futsi ababete kukholwa, ngako lamanyenti awo akangenanga ekuphumuleni kwakhe. (Num. 14:30; Josh. 14:6-10) Nobe kunjalo, Pawula watsi besisekhona “setsembiso sekungena ekuphumuleni” kwaNkulunkulu. (Heb. 3:16-19; 4:1) Kuyacaca kutsi ‘lesetsembiso’ siyincenye yenjongo yaNkulunkulu. Njengobe kwenta emaKhristu langemaHebheru, natsi singafundza ngalesetsembiso futsi siphile ngekuvumelana naso. Kute agcizelele kutsi lesetsembiso sisekelwe emiBhalweni, Pawula wacaphuna tincenye letikuGenesisi 2:2 nakuTihlabelelo 95:11.

Ngako kufanele kusikhutsate kutsi lisekhona litsemba lekungena “ekuphumuleni” kwaNkulunkulu. Siyaciniseka kutsi litsemba lekungena ekuphumuleni kwaNkulunkulu lokukhulunywa ngalo eBhayibhelini litawufezeka futsi sesivele sititsetse tinyatselo tekungena kuko. Loko asikakwenti nje ngekugcina uMtsetfo waMosi nobe sasebentisa letinye tindlela kuze semukelwe nguJehova. Kunaloko, ngekukholwa sente ngekuvumelana nenjongo yaNkulunkulu leyembuliwe. Ngetulu kwaloko, tinkhulungwane tebantfu emhlabeni wonkhe setivele ticalile kufundza liBhayibheli futsi tifundza ngekuvetwa kwenjongo yaNkulunkulu. Labanyenti sebashintje kuphila kwabo, baba nekukholwa futsi babangemaKhristu labhajatisiwe. Indlela labashintje ngayo ibufakazi lobucacile bekutsi ‘livi laNkulunkulu liyaphila futsi linemandla.’ Kwembulwa kwenjongo yaNkulunkulu lokutfolakala eBhayibhelini, sekuvele kukushintjile kuphila kwetfu futsi kutawuchubeka kuba nemandla kitsi.
