2. Yini egxile enhliziyweni yomuntu engokomfanekiso, futhi ngalokho yini esiyifundayo emiBhalweni ngalokhu?
2 Umuntu ubonisa isimo esithile sengqondo esivelele. Unesimo esikhethekile esigxile enhliziyweni yakhe engokomfanekiso. (Mathewu 12:34, 35; 15:18-20) Ngakho, sifunda ngomuntu ‘onhliziyo yakhe [ithambekele, NW] empini.’ (IHubo 55:21) Sitshelwa ukuthi ‘umuntu [othambekele, NW] ekufuthekeni uvama ukuphambeka.’ Futhi siyafunda: “[Kukhona abangane abathambekele ekulimazaneni, NW], kepha kukhona abangane ababambelela kuneselamani.” (IzAga 18:24; 29:22) Ngokujabulisayo, abaningi babonakala befana nabeZizwe abathile eAntiyokiya lasendulo ePhisidiya. Lapho bezwa ngelungiselelo likaJehova lensindiso, ‘bathokoza, balidumisa izwi leNkosi; bakholwa bonke [ababethambekele, NW] ekuphileni okuphakade.’—IzEnzo 13:44-48.

4 Abanenhliziyo ehlanzekileyo bahlanzeke ngaphakathi. Okwabo ukuhlanzeka kokwazisa, uthando, izifiso nezisusa. (1 Thimothewu 1:5) Babona uNkulunkulu manje ngokuthi bayamqaphela lapho enzela abagcini bobuqotho izinto. (Qhathanisa noEksodusi 33:20; Jobe 19:26; 42:5.) Igama lesiGreki elihunyushwe lapha ngokuthi “bona” lisho futhi “ukubona ngeso lengqondo, ukuqonda, ukwazi.” Njengoba uJesu abubonakalisa ngokuphelele ubuntu bukaNkulunkulu, ukuqonda lobobuntu kujatshulelwa “abanenhliziyo ehlanzekileyo,” ababonisa ukholo kuKristu nasemhlatshelweni wakhe ohlawulela izono, bazuze ukuthethelelwa kwezono zabo, futhi bayakwazi ukukhulekela uNkulunkulu ngokwamukelekayo. (Johane 14:7-9; Efesu 1:7) Ngabagcotshiwe, ukubona uNkulunkulu kufinyelela umvuthwandaba wakho lapho bevuselwa ezulwini, lapho bembona khona ngokoqobo uNkulunkulu noKristu. (2 Korinte 1:21, 22; 1 Johane 3:2) Kodwa bonke abanenhliziyo ehlanzekile bangakwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu ngolwazi oluqondile nangokukhulekela kweqiniso. (IHubo 24:3, 4; 1 Johane 3:6; 3 Johane 11) Bathambekele ekuphileni okuphakade ezulwini noma emhlabeni oyipharadesi.—Luka 23:43; 1 Korinte 15:50-57; 1 Petru 1:3-5.
5. Iyiphi indlela kuphela umuntu angaba ngayo ikholwa nomlandeli weqiniso kaJesu Kristu?
5 Labo abangathambekele ekuphileni okuphakade ngeke babe amakholwa. Akunakwenzeka ngabo ukuba babonise ukholo. (2 Thesalonika 3:2) Ngaphezu kwalokho, akekho umuntu ongaba umlandeli weqiniso kaJesu Kristu ngaphandle kokuba abe ofundisekayo futhi uJehova, obona lokho inhliziyo eyikho, amdonse lowomuntu. (Johane 6:41-47) Yebo, lapho beshumayela endlini ngendlu, oFakazi BakaJehova abahluleli muntu kusengaphambili. Abakwazi ukufunda izinhliziyo kodwa bashiyela imiphumela ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu ezinothando.
