Eqinisweni, akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi ukungathathi hlangothi. Singase sigconwe ngenxa yalokho. Singahlala kanjani singathathi hlangothi futhi sibe qotho kuJehova uNkulunkulu?

1. AmaKristu eqiniso ababheka kanjani ohulumeni babantu?

AmaKristu ayabahlonipha ohulumeni. Senza njengoba uJesu asho, ‘sibuyisela izinto zikaKhesari kuKhesari’​—okusho ukuthi silalela imithetho yezwe enjengethi asikhokhe izintela. (Marku 12:​17) IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi ohulumeni babantu babusa kuphela ngenxa yokuthi uJehova uyabavumela ukuba babuse. (Roma 13:1) Ngakho, siyaqonda ukuthi ohulumeni babantu banegunya elincane kunelikaNkulunkulu. Sithembele kuNkulunkulu wethu naseMbusweni wakhe wasezulwini ukuba axazulule izinkinga zabantu.

2. Singabonisa kanjani ukuthi asithathi hlangothi?

NjengoJesu, asingeni kwezepolitiki. Lapho abantu bebona esinye sezimangaliso zikaJesu futhi bezama ukumenza abe inkosi yasemhlabeni, akabavumelanga. (Johane 6:​15) Kungani? Kungoba, njengoba asho kamuva, “uMbuso wami awuyona ingxenye yaleli zwe.” (Johane 18:​36) Njengabafundi bakaJesu, sibonisa ngezindlela eziningana ukuthi asithathi hlangothi. Ngokwesibonelo, asiyi empini. (Funda uMika 4:3.) Siyazihlonipha izimpawu zesizwe ezinjengamafulege kodwa asizikhonzi. (1 Johane 5:​21) Asisekeli iqembu lepolitiki noma umholi walo futhi asiphikisani nalo. Ngalezi zindlela nezinye, sibonisa ukuthi siqotho kuhulumeni kaNkulunkulu​—uMbuso wakhe.
