Ukuphila Impilo Engcwelisiwe
Ngomkhuleko funda lemibhalo ngenhloso yokufuna ukwazi ngalokho ongakhuluma ngakho. Ukwazi ngenhloso yeNhlangano Yabesimame Yenkululeko kuwalungiselela kanjani amadodakazi kaNkulunkulu ukuba athole izibusiso zempilo engunaphakade?
Ukholo Umndeni Insizakalo
“Ukungcwelisa ukuhlukanisa noma ukunikela into njengengcwele,” kusho iGosa D. Todd Christofferson womGwamanda wabaPhostoli abayiShumi namBili. “Impumelelo yangempela kulempilo wukungcwelisa izimpilo zethu––okusho izikhathi zethu nalokho esithanda ukukwenza––ukuze sifeze izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu.”1
IGosa Neal A. Maxwell (1926–2004) womGwamanda wabaPhostoli abayiShumi namBili wathi, “Sivame ukucabanga ngokungcwelisa njengokunikela kuphela, uma siholwe kuNkulunkulu, izinto zethu eziphathekayo. Kepha ukungcwelisa okukhulu ukuzinikela thina uqobo kuNkulunkulu.”2
Ngesikhathi sizinikela thina ukuze kufezeke izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu, ukholo lwethu kuJesu Kristu nakwiNhlawulo Yakhe luzokhula. Ngesikhathi siphila impilo engcwele, singenziwa sibe ngcwele ngalezo zenzo.
UCarole M. Stephens, uMeluleki wokuQala kwiNhlangano Yabesimame Yenkululeko, wathi: “IGosa Robert D. Hales wasifundisa wathi, ‘Uma senza futhi sigcina izivumelwano, siyaphuma emhlabeni singena embusweni kaNkulunkulu.’
“Siyaguqulwa. Sibukeka sihlukile, futhi senza okwehlukile. Izinto esizilalelayo nesizifundayo nesizishoyo zihlukile, futhi nesikugqokayo kuhlukile ngoba siba amadodakazi kaNkulunkulu azibophezele kuYe ngezivumelwano.”3
Ukungcwelisa isivumelwano uNkulunkulu asenza “nendlu ka-Israyeli; Emva kwalezo zinsuku,” kusho iNkosi, ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezibilinini zabo, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami” (Jeremiya 31:33). Ukuphila impilo engcwelisiwe kuhambisana nesu likaNkulunkulu analo ngathi.
