5. (a) Kubonakala kanjani ukuthi abantu abangaphelele bangemukelwa uNkulunkulu? (b) Obani ‘abantu abathakazelelayo’?

⁵ Kungenzeka yini nangabantu abangaphelele njengathi ukuba bazuze ukwamukelwa uNkulunkulu? Ngokujabulisayo, impendulo inguyebo. Lapho uJesu ezalwa, izingelosi zamemezela: “Udumo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, nokuthula emhlabeni kubantu [abathakazelelayo] [eu·do·kiʹas].” (Luka 2:14, qhathanisa neNW.) NgesiGreki esiqondile, izingelosi zazihlabelela ngesibusiso esasiza ‘kubantu abanokuma okuhle naye’ noma “abantu abemukelwa uNkulunkulu.”a UProfesa Hans Bietenhard ubhala ngalokusetshenziswa kwamazwi athi en an·throʹpois eu·do·kiʹas: “Lamazwi abhekisela kubantu abathokozelwa uNkulunkulu . . . Ngakho-ke, lapha asikhulumi ngokuthakazelelwa ngabantu . . . Sikhuluma ngobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu nentando yomusa wakhe, okuzikhethela ngokwakho abantu abazosindiswa.” Ngakho, njengoba oFakazi BakaJehova beye bachaza esikhathini eside esidlule, uLuka 2:14 ubonisa ukuthi ngokuzinikezela nobhapathizo, kungenzeka ngabantu abangaphelele ukuba babe abantu abathakazelelwa futhi bamukelwe uNkulunkulu!b
