Ngezono zakho

UKristu wahlupheka kanye ngenxa yezono, olungileyo wabangalungile ukuze aholele abantu kuNkulunkulu (1Pet 3:18). Uyisihlawulelo sezono zomhlaba wonke (1 Johane 2: 2), ephula umgoqo wobutha owawukhona phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. Lapho esekhululiwe ekulahlweni kuka-Adamu, umuntu uyakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi emihle, ngoba yenziwa kuphela uma umuntu ekuNkulunkulu (Is 26:12; John 3:21).

Ngezono zakho

Ngafunda izingcaphuno ezivela eNtshumayelweni No. 350, kaDkt. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “A shot-okuhlosiwe kahle ukuzenza olungile”, futhi angikwazanga ukusiza ukuphawula ngesitatimende esasikuyo intshumayelo.

Umusho wokugcina wentshumayelo wangidonsela amehlo, othi: “UKristu wajeziswa ngezono zakho ngaphambi kokuba zenziwe” UCharles Haddon Spurgeon, ocashunwe entshumayelweni engu-350 ethi “A shot sure in self-righteousness”, ethathwe kuwebhu.

Manje, uma uDkt Spurgeon ebheka umbhalo weBhayibheli othi uJesu ‘uyiwundlu elahlatshwa selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba’, empeleni kufanele agcizelele ukuthi uKristu wafa ngaphambi kokuba isono singeniswe emhlabeni (IsAm 13: 8; Rom 5:12). Kodwa-ke, njengoba ethi uJesu wajeziswa ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe isono samaKrestu ngamunye, ngiyaqonda ukuthi uDkt Spurgeon akazange akhulume ngevesi 8, isahluko 13 sencwadi yeSambulo.

UKristu wajeziswa ngesono saso sonke isintu, kepha ngubani owenze icala eliholele ekutheni sonke isintu sibe ngaphansi kwesono? Manje, ngemiBhalo siyaqonda ukuthi isono sivela ekoneni (ukungalaleli) kuka-Adamu, hhayi emaphutheni wokuziphatha okwenziwa ngabantu.

Isijeziso esasiletha ukuthula sasingengenxa yamaphutha okuziphatha komuntu ngamunye ’, ngoba bonke abantu benziwa besesimweni sokuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu (izoni). UKristu uyimvu kaNkulunkulu eyafa ngaphambi kokusekelwa komhlaba, okungukuthi, iwundlu lanikelwa ngaphambi kokona kuka-Adamu.

Ukujeziswa okwehlele uKristu akubanga ngenxa yokuziphatha kwabantu (izono ezenziwe), kodwa kukona kuka-Adam. Ku-Adamu amadoda enziwa izoni, ngoba ngecala kweza ukwahlulelwa nokulahlwa kubo bonke abantu, ngaphandle kokukhetha (Rom. 5:18).

Uma isono (isimo somuntu ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu) sivela ekuziphatheni kwabantu, ukuze kwenziwe ubulungiswa, ngempela insindiso ibingatholakala kuphela ngokuziphatha kwabantu. Kuzodingeka ukuthi amadoda enze okuthile okuhle ukunciphisa ukungaziphathi kahle kwawo, kepha-ke, akukaze ‘kuthethelelwe’.

Kodwa umyalezo wevangeli ukhombisa ukuthi ngesiphambeko somuntu oyedwa (u-Adamu) bonke bagwetshwa ukufa, futhi ngumuntu oyedwa kuphela (uKristu, u-Adamu wokugcina) lapho isipho somusa kaNkulunkulu sagcwala phezu kwabaningi (Rom. 5:15). Ngenkathi uJesu efela izono zethu, kwenzeka isenzo esikhundleni: njengoba u-Adamu engalalelanga, u-Adamu wokugcina walalela kwaze kwaba sosizini.

Umusho wokugcina wengcaphuno yentshumayelo kaDkt Spurgeon ukhombisa ukuthi bekungacatshangwa ukuthi:

• Bonke abantu bayizoni ngoba ubaba wokuqala wesintu (u-Adamu) wona (Is 43:27);
• Ukuthi bonke abantu bakhelwe ebubini futhi bakhulelwa esonweni (IHu 51: 5);
• Ukuthi sonke isintu siphambukisiwe kuNkulunkulu kusukela kunina (IHu 58: 3);
• Ukuthi bonke abantu bebenephutha selokhu bazalwa (IHu 58: 3), ngoba bangene ngomnyango obanzi onikeza ukufinyelela endleleni ebanzi eholela ekubhujisweni (Mt 7: 13 -14);
• Ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi bathengiswa njengesigqila sesono, akekho owonile ngokweqa kuka-Adamu (Rom. 5:14);
• Ukuthi indoda enhle kunazo zonke ifaniswa nameva, futhi oqotho mubi kunothango lwameva (Mk 7: 4);
• Ukuthi bonke abantu bonile futhi bayasilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokulahlwa okwasungulwa ku-Adamu;
• Ukuthi akekho olungile, akekho nhlobo, phakathi kwenzalo ka-Adam (Rom. 3:10), njll.

Yini enhle noma embi eyenziwa ngumntwana esiswini sikanina ukuze akhulelwe esonweni? Yisiphi isono ingane esenzayo ngokuhamba ‘ngokungafanele’ selokhu yazalwa? Bonke abantu baphambuka nini futhi kuphi futhi bangcola ndawonye? (Rom. 3:12) Ukulahleka kwesintu kwakungekhona yini ukona kuka-Adamu?

Ku-Adamu bonke abantu benziwa ukungcola kanyekanye (IHu 53: 3), ngoba u-Adamu umnyango obanzi bonke abantu abangena ngawo lapho bezalwa. Ukuzalwa ngokwenyama, igazi nentando yomuntu kungumnyango obanzi lapho bonke abantu bangena ngawo, baphambuka futhi bangcola kanyekanye (Johane 1:13).

Yisiphi isenzakalo esenze bonke abantu ‘ndawonye’ bangcola? Icala lika-Adam kuphela elichaza iqiniso lokuthi bonke abantu, esimweni esifanayo, bayangcola (ndawonye), ngoba akunakwenzeka ukuthi bonke abantu beminyaka engenakubalwa benze isenzo esifanayo ndawonye.

Cabanga ngalokhu: Ingabe uKristu wafa ngenxa yokuthi uKayini wabulala u-Abela, noma uKristu wafa ngenxa yokona kuka-Adamu? Yimuphi wezehlakalo owabeka engozini imvelo yabo bonke abantu? Isenzo sikaKayini noma ukona kuka-Adamu?

Qaphela ukuthi ukulahlwa kukaKayini akuveli esenzweni sakhe sobugebengu, kuvela ekulahlweni kuka-Adamu. UJesu wakhombisa ukuthi akazelanga ukuzolahla umhlaba, kodwa ukuzowusindisa, njengoba kungaba yinto engeyinhle ukwahlulela lokho osekuvele kulahliwe (Johane 3:18).

UKristu wajeziswa ngenxa yesono sesintu, nokho, isono asibhekiseli kulokho okwenziwa ngabantu, kunalokho sisho ngecala elethe ukwahlulela nokulahlwa kubo bonke abantu, ngaphandle kokwehlukanisa.

Izenzo zabantu abangaphansi kwejoka lesono zibizwa nangokuthi isono, ngoba noma ngubani owonayo, wona ngoba eyisigqila sesono. Umgoqo wokwahlukana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu kweza ngecala lika-Adamu, futhi ngenxa yokona kwase-Edene, akekho noyedwa phakathi kwamadodana abantu owenza okuhle. Kungani kungekho owenza okuhle? Ngoba bonke baphambukile futhi ndawonye sebengcolile. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokona kuka-Adamu, konke okwenziwa ngumuntu ngaphandle kukaKristu kungcolile.

Ubani kokungahlanzekile ozosusa okumsulwa? Akekho umuntu! (Jobe 14: 4) Ngamanye amazwi, akekho owenza okuhle ngoba wonke umuntu uyisigqila sesono.

Manje isigqila sesono senza isono, ngoba konke ekwenzayo kungokwenkosi yaso ngokufanele. Izenzo zezinceku zesono ziyisono ngoba zenziwa yizigqila zesono. Kungakho uNkulunkulu ededele labo abakholwa ukuthi bayizinceku zokulunga (Rom. 6:18).

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izingane zikaNkulunkulu azinakona ngoba zizelwe nguNkulunkulu futhi imbewu kaNkulunkulu ihlala kuzo (1 Johane 3: 6 kanye no 1 John 3: 9). Noma ngubani owenza isono ungokaSathane, kepha labo abakholwa kuKristu bangabakaNkulunkulu (1Ko 1:30; 1Jo 3:24; 1Jo 4:13), ngoba bayithempeli futhi bahlala kuMoya (1Jo 3: 8). ).

UKristu wabonakaliswa ukuze abhubhise imisebenzi kasathane (1 Johane 3: 5 no 1 Johane 3: 8), futhi bonke abazelwe nguNkulunkulu bahlala Kuye (1 Johane 3:24) futhi kuNkulunkulu akukho sono (1 Johane 3: 5). Manje uma singekho isono kuNkulunkulu, kulandela ukuthi bonke abakuNkulunkulu aboni, ngoba bazalwa nguNkulunkulu futhi imbewu kaNkulunkulu ihlala kubo.

Isihlahla asikwazi ukuthela izinhlobo ezimbili zezithelo. Ngakho-ke, labo abazelwe ngenzalo kaNkulunkulu abakwazi ukuthela uNkulunkulu noDeveli izithelo, njengoba nje kungenakwenzeka ukuthi inceku isebenzele amakhosi amabili (Luka 16:13). Zonke izitshalo ezitshalwe nguYise zithela izithelo eziningi, kepha zithela uNkulunkulu kuphela (u-Isaya 61: 3; Johane 15: 5).

Ngemuva kokufa esonweni, inkosi endala, kusala kumuntu ovukile ukuthi azethule kuNkulunkulu njengophilayo evela kwabafileyo, namalungu omzimba wakhe njengethuluzi lobulungiswa (Rom. 6:13). Isimo ‘sokuphila’ sabafileyo sitholwa ngokukholwa kuKristu, ngokuzalwa kabusha (ukuzalwa kabusha). Ngokuzalwa okusha, umuntu uyaphila kwabafileyo, ngakho-ke kuhlala kunjalo, ukunikela ngokuzithandela kuNkulunkulu amalungu omzimba wakhe njengethuluzi lobulungiswa.

Isono asisabusi, njengoba singasenamandla phezu kwalabo abakholwayo (Rom. 6:14). UmKristu kumele anikele ngamalungu akhe ukuthi asebenzele ubulungiswa, okusho ukuthi, akhonze Lowo owangcwelisayo, ngoba uKristu ulungisiswa nokungcweliswa kwamaKristu (Rom. 6:19; 1Ko 1:30).

UKristu wahlupheka kanye ngenxa yezono, olungileyo wabangalungile ukuze aholele abantu kuNkulunkulu (1Pet 3:18). Uyisihlawulelo sezono zomhlaba wonke (1 Johane 2: 2), ephula umgoqo wobutha owawukhona phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. Lapho esekhululiwe ekulahlweni kuka-Adamu, umuntu uyakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi emihle, ngoba yenziwa kuphela uma umuntu ekuNkulunkulu (Is 26:12; John 3:21).

Amadoda angenaye uNkulunkulu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, akhona ngaphandle kwethemba kulo mhlaba, ngoba afana nabangahlanzekile futhi konke akukhiqizayo kungcolile. Ayikho indlela yokuthi umuntu ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu enze okuhle, ngoba imvelo embi ikhiqiza kuphela okubi “Kepha sonke sinjengabangcolile, nakho konke ukulunga kwethu kunjengengubo engcolileyo; futhi sonke siyabuna njengeqabunga, nobubi bethu bususwe ngumoya ” (Isa 64: 6).

Umprofethi u-Isaya lapho echaza isimo sabantu bakhe, wabaqhathanisa no:

• Okungcolile – Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baqala nini ukungcola? Lapho konke kuphambuka futhi ndawonye kungcola, okungukuthi, ku-Adamu, uBaba wokuqala wesintu (IHu 14: 3; Isa 43:27);
• Ubulungiswa njengezidwedwe ezingcolile – Yonke imisebenzi yobulungiswa yabangcolile ifana nezidwedwe ezingcolile, ezingakulungele ukugqokwa. Yize babekholwa, imisebenzi yabantu bakwa-Israyeli yayiyimisebenzi yobubi, imisebenzi yobudlova (Is 59: 6);
• Ibuna njengeqabunga – Kwakungekho themba kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, njengoba iqabunga lalifile (Is 59:10);

UKristu, ngesikhathi esifanele, wafela ababi. IWundlu likaNkulunkulu lihlatshelwe selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba yizoni.

“Ngoba uKristu, ngenkathi sibuthakathaka, wafa ngesikhathi esifanele ngenxa yababi” (Rom. 5: 6);

“Kepha uNkulunkulu uqinisa uthando lwakhe ngathi, ngokuthi uKristu wasifela, siseyizoni” (Rom. 5: 8).

Manje, uKristu wafela izigqila zesono, hhayi ‘izono’ ezenziwa yizigqila zesono, njengoba uDkt Spurgeon aqonda.

UKristu wafela izoni, ngakho-ke labo abakholwayo bafa kanye naye. UKrestu wafela bonke ukuze labo abaphiliswayo bangabe besaziphilela bona, kodwa baphilele Lowo owafa waphinde wavuka (2Co 5:14).

Labo abavuke noKristu baphephile, ngoba:

• BakuKristu;
• Bayizidalwa ezintsha;
• Izinto ezindala sezihambile;
• Konke sekukusha (2Ko 5:17).

UNkulunkulu wabuyisana Naye uqobo labo abakholwa ngoKristu futhi wanika abaphilayo kwabafileyo inkonzo yokubuyisana (2Ko 15:18).

Abaphilayo phakathi kwabafileyo basala nesikhuthazo: ungawamukeli ngeze umusa kaNkulunkulu (2Co 6: 1). UNkulunkulu wakuzwa ngesikhathi esamukelekayo, ngakho-ke, njengethuluzi lobulungiswa, amaKrestu anconywa ukuthi:

• Ungakhiphi ihlazo nhlobo – Kungani amaKrestu kungafanele anikeze ihlazo? Ukusindiswa? Cha! Hleze umnyango wezokubuyisana ungahlolwa;
• Ukunconywa kukho konke – Ekubekezeleni okuningi, ezinhluphekweni, ekusweleni, osizini, eziswebhu, ezinxushunxushwini, ezenzakalweni, emsebenzini, emilindelweni, ekuzileni ukudla, ebumsulweni, kwezesayensi, ebangeni elide- ukuhlupheka, umusa, uMoya oNgcwele, uthando olungazenzisi, njll. (2Ko 6: 3-6).

UKristu wabulawa selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba, ngisho nangaphambi kokuba sonke isintu sibe yisigqila sokungabi nabulungisa ngenxa yokungalaleli komuntu oyedwa owonayo: u-Adam.
