Qikelela ukuthi inkulumo yakho isekelwe ngokuphelele emiBhalweni. (Joh. 7:16) Lokho kuhilelani? Qaphela ukuba ungavumeli lutho—izindaba zokuphila, imifanekiso ngisho nendlela obeka ngayo inkulumo—kwemboze noma kwenze abantu banganaki lokho okushiwo amavesi eBhayibheli owasebenzisayo. Khumbula nokuthi ukumane nje ufunde imiBhalo eminingi akunakubhekwa njengokufundisa ngeBhayibheli. Empeleni, ukusebenzisa imiBhalo eminingi kungabangela ukuba izilaleli zingakhumbuli nowodwa umBhalo. Ngakho yikhethe ngokucophelela imiBhalo eyinhloko, uzinike isikhathi sokuyifunda, uyichaze, ufanekise bese ubonisa ukuthi isebenza kanjani. (Neh. 8:8) Zama ukuqonda ukuhlobana okukhona phakathi kwemisho esohlakeni nemiBhalo ekhonjiwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, thandaza ucele uJehova akusize uchaze amaphuzu ayigugu aseZwini lakhe.—Ezra 7:10. w17.09 26 ¶11-12

Ngonyaka ka-537 B.C.E. abantu bakaJehova babejabule kakhulu. Base bekhululiwe eBhabhiloni ngemva kweminyaka engu-70 bethunjiwe futhi ngentshiseko baphuma bavuselela ukukhulekela kweqiniso eJerusalema. Ngo-536 B.C.E., zase zibekiwe izisekelo zethempeli. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-16, ukwakhiwa kwethempeli likaJehova kwakusamile. Abantu bakaNkulunkulu kwakudingeka bakhunjuzwe ukuthi kufanele babuyele kuJehova, bayeke ukukhathalela izidingo zabo nje kuphela. Ukuze akhumbuze abantu bakhe ukuthi kungani bakhululwa eBhabhiloni, uNkulunkulu wathumela umprofethi wakhe uZakariya ngo-520 B.C.E. Igama lalo mprofethi elithi Zakariya—okusho ukuthi “UJehova Ukhumbulile”—kungenzeka labakhumbuza iqiniso elibalulekile. Nakuba base beyikhohliwe indlela uJehova abasindisa ngayo, uNkulunkulu wayesabakhumbula. (Zak. 1:3, 4) Ngothando wabaqinisekisa ngokuthi uzobasiza bamise kabusha ukukhulekela kweqiniso, wabuye wabaxwayisa ngokuthi ngeke ayibekezelele inkonzo eyenziwa ngenhliziyo engaphelele. w17.10 21-22 ¶2-3

Odokotela bengqondo bathi ukuba nomusa kungathuthukisa impilo yakho, inhlalakahle yakho nobuhlobo bakho nabanye. Lapho usiza abanye, uyajabula, uba nethemba, isizungu siyaphela futhi awubi nemicabango emibi. Ngempela, uyazuza ngokuba nomusa. AmaKristu akuthandayo ukusiza abanye abusiswa ngokuba nonembeza omuhle, ngenxa yokuthi asuke enza ngokuvumelana nemithetho kaNkulunkulu. Ukwenza lokho kusiza umuntu abe umzali onakekela kakhudlwana, aphathe kahle ashade naye futhi abe umngane ongcono. Labo ababonisa abanye umusa bazibeka ethubeni lokusizwa nokusekelwa abanye lapho kuphakama isidingo. (Math. 5:7; Luka 6:38) Ukwazi ukuthi ukuba nomusa kuyakuzuzisa akufanele kube yisizathu esiyinhloko sokuwuhlakulela. Isizathu esiyinhloko kufanele kube yisifiso sakho sokulingisa nokukhazimulisa uMthombo wothando nomusa, uJehova uNkulunkulu.—IzAga 14:31. w17.09 12 ¶16-17
