Yakobi

“Yibani ke ngaBenzi beLizwi, niNgabi ngaBaphulaphuli Kodwa”

Njengoko ufunda iNcwadi kaYakobi, nika ingqalelo kumabinzana agqamayo kuwe. Uphenjelelwa njani ukuba ube “ngumenzi” wala mazwi? (Yakobi 1:22).

Bhala Iimvakalelo Zakho

Ngamanye amaxesha umqolo omnye nje wesibhalo unokutshintsha ihlabathi. Yakobi 1:5 ubonakala ngathi yingcebiso elula—xa ufuna ubulumko, cela kuThixo. Kodwa xa uJoseph Smith oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala wayefunda loo mqolo, “sakhangeleka ngathi singena ngamandla amakhulu kuyo yonke imvakalelo yentliziyo [yakhe].” (IMbali—kaJoseph Smith 1:12). Ephenjelelwe ngolo hlobo, uJoseph wenza ngokwesiyalo sikaYakobi kwaye wafuna ubulumko kuThixo ngomthandazo. Kwaye ngenene uThixo wamnika ngesisa, enika uJoseph olona tyelelo lubalaseleyo lwasezulwini kwimbali yoluntu—uMbono wokuQala. Lo mbono watshintsha ikhondo lobomi bukaJoseph kwaye wakhokelela ekuBuyiselweni kweBandla likaYesu Krestu emhlabeni. Sonke sisikelelekile namhlanje kuba uJoseph Smith wafunda kwaye wenza oku kuYakobi 1:5.

Yintoni oya kuyifumana njengoko ufunda iNcwadi kaYakobi? Mhlawumbi umqolo okanye emibini iya kukutshintsha okanye umntu omthandayo. Usenokufumana isikhokelo njengoko ufuna ukufezekisa injongo yakho ebomini. Usenokufumana ukhuthazo lokuthetha ngobubele okanye ube nomonde ngakumbi. Usenokuziva uphenjelelwa ukuba wenze izenzo zakho zihambelane ngcono nokholo lwakho. Nokuba yintoni ekuphembelelayo, vumela la mazwi “angene … kuyo yonke imvakalelo yentliziyo [yakho].” Kwaye emva koko, xa “namkele ilizwi ninobulali,” njengoko uYakobi wabhala, yibani ngumenzi welizwi, ningabi ngumphulaphuli kuphela (bona Yakobi 1:21–22).

Njengomfundi kaYesu Krestu, kufuneka ndibathande bonke abantu, nokuba zithini iimeko zabo.
