“Hambani ngoMoya”

Ngesikhathi ufunda kwabaseGalathiya, yibhale phansi imizwa oyitholayo. Ukwenza kanjalo kuyokusiza ukuba uzikhumbule futhi uzindle ngazo esikhathini esizayo.

Bhala Imizwa Yakho

Ivangeli likaJesu Kristu linikeza inkululeko ebugqileni bomoya. Kodwa ngesinye isikhathi abantu abahlangabezane nenkululeko yevangeli bayayifulathela “bafise ukuphinda babe sebugqilini” (KwabaseGalathiya 4:9). Yilokhu okwenziwa abanye abaNgcwele baseGalathiya—babefulathela inkululeko uKristu ayebanike yona (bheka KwabaseGalathiya 1:6). Incwadi kaPawulu eya kwabaseGalathiya, ngaleso sikhathi yayiwubizo oluphuthumayo lokubuyela “enkululekweni uKristu asikhulula ngayo” (KwabaseGalathiya 5:1). Lolu bizo yilo okumele siluzwe futhi silulalele ngoba ngenkathi izimo ziguquka, umzabalazo phakathi kwenkululeko nobugqila uhlala njalo. Njengoba uPawulu afundisa, akwanele “ukubizelwa enkululekweni” (KwabaseGalathiya 5:13); kufanele futhi “sime siqine” kukho (KwabaseGalathiya 5:1) ngokwethembela kuKristu.

Umthetho kaKristu uyangikhulula.

UPawulu wabhalela abaseGalathiya lapho ezwa ukuthi babedukiswa yizimfundiso zamanga (bheka KwabaseGalathiya 1:6–9).

Ungase futhi ucabange ukuthi yimaphi amasiko amanga noma amanye amajoka obugqila angase abe khona empilweni yakho. Ngabe kukhona yini okukuvimbela ukuthola inkululeko enikezwa yivangeli na?

U-Abrahama wayenevangeli likaJesu Kristu.
