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).

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.

Kuyini ukulungiswa?

Ukulungisiswa akusikho ukuthathelwa izinyathelo noma isenzo sokwahlulela sikaNkulunkulu, asithethelelayo, simkhulula noma asiphathe umuntu, ongenabo ubulungisa, sengathi ulungile. Manje, uma uNkulunkulu ephatha ongenabulungisa sengathi ulungile, ngabe empeleni wenza ukungabi nabulungisa. Ukube uNkulunkulu umemezele ukuthi isoni silungile, besizoba nenkulumo eqanjiwe, ecatshangelwayo, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzobe ememezela okuthile okungelona iqiniso ngomuntu.

Kuyini ukulungiswa?

“Ngokuba ofileyo ulungisisiwe esonweni” (Rom. 6: 7)

Izincazelo ze Theological

Kuvamile ukuthi imfundiso yenkolo iphathe imfundiso yokulungisiswa njengendaba yokuhleleka, ngakho-ke izinkulumo ezithi ‘isenzo sokwahlulela sikaNkulunkulu’, ‘isenzo sokwazisa saphezulu’, ‘memezela ubulungiswa’, njll, ezincazelweni ngesihloko sokulungisiswa.

KuScofield, yize kufanelekile, ikholwa lisengumoni. UNkulunkulu uyabona futhi aphathe ikholwa njengolungileyo, kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenza umuntu alunge.

“Isoni esikholwayo siyalungisiswa, okungukuthi, siphathwa njengabalungileyo (…) Ukulungisiswa kuyisenzo sokwamukelwa nguNkulunkulu futhi akusho ukwenza umuntu alunge …” IScofield Bible with References, Roma 3:28.

Ukuze uCharles C. Ryrie athethelele izindlela:

“Shono ukuthi umuntu akanacala. Kokubili amagama esiHeberu (sadaq) nawesiGreki (dikaioõ) asho ukuthi ‘memezela’ noma ‘khipha’ isinqumo esivumayo, umemezele ukuthi othile ulungile. Lo mqondo awusho ukwenza umuntu abe nobulungiswa kuphela, kodwa umemezela ubulungiswa kuphela ”uRyrie, uCharles Caldwel, i-Basic Theology – Itholakala kuwo wonke umuntu, ihunyushwe nguJarbas Aragão – São Paulo: Christian World, 2004, k. 345.

UGeorge Eldon Ladd uyakuqonda ukulungisiswa okuvela egameni lesiGreki elithi dikaioõ, njengo:

“’Memezela ukulingana’, ungakwenzi kube nobulungiswa ‘. Njengoba sizobona, umqondo oyinhloko, ekulungisisweni, isimemezelo sikaNkulunkulu, umahluleli olungile, ukuthi umuntu okholwa kuKristu, noma eyisoni, ulungile – ubonwa njengolungile, ngoba, kuKristu, wafika ebudlelwaneni obunobulungiswa noNkulunkulu” Ladd, George Eldon, New Testament Theology, eyahunyushwa nguDarci Dusilek noJussara M. Pinto, 1. U-Ed – São Paulo: Eksodusi, 97, k. 409.

Ukulungisiswa akusikho ukuphenya ngamacala noma isenzo sokwahlulela uNkulunkulu asithethelelayo, akhulule futhi aphathe umuntu ongekho nje ngokungathi wayelungile. Manje, uma uNkulunkulu ephatha ongenabulungisa sengathi ulungile, ngabe empeleni wenza ukungabi nabulungisa. Ukube uNkulunkulu umemezele ukuthi isoni silungile, besizoba nenkulumo eqanjiwe, ecatshangelwayo, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzobe ememezela okuthile okungelona iqiniso ngomuntu.

Ingqikithi yemfundiso yokulungisiswa ukuthi uNkulunkulu udala umuntu omusha ebulungiseni nasebungcweleni beqiniso futhi athi ulungile ngoba lowo muntu omusha ulungile empeleni. UNkulunkulu akasebenzi nobulungiswa obuqanjiwe, kuze kube seqophelweni lokuphatha njengalowo ongenabo ubulungisa ngempela.

Kwabafundisi bezinguquko, ukulungiswa kuyisenzo sokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwenguquko empilweni yabo, okungukuthi, uNkulunkulu akashintshi isimo somuntu. Kukhona ukukhohlisa, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulungisa labo abazelwe kabusha (Johane 3: 3). Manje, uma umuntu ephinda ezalwa ngokukaNkulunkulu, lokhu kusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wasiguqula isimo somuntu (1 Petru 1: 3 no-23).

Isimo sekholwa sihluke ngokuphelele kunangesikhathi lapho ayengakholelwa kuKristu. Ngaphambi kokukholwa, umuntu ungaphansi kwamandla obumnyama futhi, ngemuva kokukholwa, uyiswa embusweni weNdodana yothando lwakhe “Owasikhipha emandleni obumnyama, wasiyisa embusweni weNdodana yothando lwakhe” (Cl 1 : 13). Ngesikhathi esemandleni obumnyama umuntu esaphila esonweni, ngakho-ke, akasoze kwathiwa ulungile, kepha abafileyo esonweni balungisisiwe esonweni.

Manje, izindlela zomthetho esizithola ezinkantolo zibhekana nezingqinamba nobudlelwano obuphathekayo phakathi kwabaphilayo, kanti imfundiso yokulungisiswa ayibandakanyi imigomo yobunhloli, ngoba yilabo kuphela abafele esonweni abavunyelwe esonweni!

IBhayibheli likhombisa ukuthi amaJuda nabeZizwe basindiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu owembulwe kuKristu Jesu. Ukusindiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu kuyefana nokusindiswa ngokukholwa, ngoba uJesu uyinkolo ebonakalayo (Gal 3:23). UJesu uyisisekelo esiqinile lapho umuntu ethembele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu futhi afaneleke (Heb 11: 1; 2 Kor 3: 4; Kol 1:22).

UDaniel B. Pecota wathi:

“Ukholo alusoze lwaba yisisekelo sokulungisiswa. ITestamente Elisha alikaze lisho ukuthi ukulungiswa yi-dia pistin (“ukushintshanisa ukholo”), kepha njalo i-pisteos dia, (“ngokukholwa”) “.

Manje, uma siqonda ukuthi uKristu uyinkolo eyayizobonakaliswa, kulandela ukuthi uKristu (ukukholwa) wayeyikho, unjalo futhi uyohlala eyisisekelo sokulungisiswa. Ukudideka phakathi kuka-‘di pistin ‘(ukuthembela eqinisweni) no-‘di pisteos’ (iqiniso uqobo) kungenxa yokungafundwa kahle kwezindima zebhayibheli, ngoba uKristu uyisisekelo esiqinile lapho amadoda akholwa athokozisa uNkulunkulu , ngoba ukulungiswa kungoKristu (usuku lwama-pisteos).

Inkinga enkulu ngemfundiso yabaguquli yokulungisiswa ukuzama ukwehlukanisa imfundiso yokulungisiswa emfundisweni yokuzalwa kabusha. Ngaphandle kokuvuselelwa asikho isizathu futhi asikho isizathu ngaphandle kokuvuselelwa. Lapho umuntu enziwe ngokwenyama negazi, kunesinqumo sikaNkulunkulu: unecala, ngoba lesi yisimo somuntu owenziwe ngokwenyama (Johane 1:12). Kepha, lapho umuntu ekhiqizwa futhi (evuselelwa kabusha), isinqumo uNkulunkulu asinikezayo sithi: siyalungiswa, ngoba umuntu ulungile empeleni.

Ukulahlwa ku-Adamu

Isinyathelo sokuqala ekuqondeni imfundiso yokulungisiswa ukuqonda ukuthi bonke abantu bonile futhi bayasilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu (Rom. 3:23). Lokhu kusho ukuthi, ngenxa yokona kuka-Adamu, bonke abantu bebonke, ngenkathi besethangeni lika-Adamu, baba ngabangcolile futhi bafa kuNkulunkulu (IHu 53: 3; IHu 14: 3). Ngemuva kokona kuka-Adamu, yonke inzalo yakhe yaqala ukuphilela isono futhi yayifile (ihlukanisiwe, ihlukanisiwe) kuNkulunkulu.

Ekhuluma ngalesi simo esizuzwe njengefa ku-Adamu, umphostoli uPawulu wathi bonke abantu (amaJuda nabeZizwe) ngokwemvelo babengabantwana bolaka (Efe. 2: 3). Kungani izingane zolaka? Ngoba babeyizingane zokungalaleli kuka-Adamu “Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisa ngamazwi ayize; ngenxa yalezi zinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luza phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli ”(Efe. 5: 6).

Ngenxa yokona kuka-Adamu isono sangena emhlabeni, futhi ngenxa yokungalaleli kwakhe bonke abantu bayizoni “Ngakho-ke njengalokho isono sangena ezweni ngesono, nokufa kwangena ngesono, ngokunjalo ukufa kwadlulela kubo bonke. yingakho bonke bonile ”(Rom. 5:12). Bonke abantu abazalwa ngokwenyama bayizoni ngoba ukulahlwa kuka-Adamu (ukufa) kwadlulela kuyo yonke inzalo yakhe.

Abaningi abazi ukuthi amadoda ayizoni ngenxa yokulahlwa okuzuzwe njengefa ku-Adam, futhi abheka ukuthi amadoda ayizoni ngenxa yezinkinga zokuziphatha ezivela kulwazi lokuhle nokubi.

Kuyadingeka ukubona ukona kuka-Adam kahle kulwazi olutholwe esithelweni solwazi lokuhle nokubi. Ngenkathi ulwazi lokuhle nokubi lwalungekhona okwahlukanisa umuntu noNkulunkulu (isono), ngoba uNkulunkulu wazi okuhle nokubi (Gen. 3:22), ukungalaleli kwaletha isono (ukwahlukana, ukwahlukana, ukuhlukaniswa) imbangela yomthetho owawuthi: uzokufa nokufa (Gen. 2:17).

Isono sikhombise ukuba sibi ngokweqile ngoba umthetho ongcwele, olungile futhi omuhle isono silawula sabulala umuntu (Rom. 7:13). Ngaphandle kwesijeziso somthetho: ‘uzokufa nokufa’, isono besingeke sibe namandla okubusa umuntu, kodwa ngamandla omthetho (uzokufa nakanjani) isono sathola ithuba futhi sabulala umuntu (Rom. 7:11). Umthetho owanikezwa e-Edene wawungcwele, ulungile futhi muhle ngoba wexwayisa umuntu ngemiphumela yokungalaleli (ngeke uwudle, ngoba ngosuku oyowudla ngalo, uzokufa nokufa).

Ngenxa yokoniwa, amadoda akhiwa ngobubi futhi akhulelwa esonweni (IHu 51: 5). Kusukela kumama (kusukela ekuqaleni) abantu bayamfulathela uNkulunkulu (IHu 58: 3), indoda engcono kunazo zonke ifaniswa nameva, futhi eqonde ngqo kuthango olwenziwe ngameva (Mk 7: 4). Kungenxa yecala lika-Adam ukuthi isinqumo sazwakala: unecala! (Rom 3:23)

Ngakho-ke umbuzo kaJobe: “Ngubani ongakhipha okumsulwa kokungahlanzekile? Akekho namunye ”(Jobe 14: 4). Kodwa okungenzeki kubantu kuyenzeka ngoNkulunkulu, ngoba unamandla okwenza konke kube kusha: “Kepha uJesu ebabheka wathi: Kubantu akunakwenzeka, kodwa kungenzeki kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba kuNkulunkulu izinto zingenzeka ”(uMarko 10:27).

Ukulungisiswa kuyimpendulo kaNkulunkulu emibuzweni ebaluleke kunayo yonke yabantu: Umuntu angamukeleka kanjani phambi kukaNkulunkulu? Impendulo icacile eTestamenteni Elisha, ikakhulukazi ngendlela elandelayo kaJesu Kristu: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe, ongazalwanga kabusha akanakubona umbuso kaNkulunkulu” (Johane 3: 3). Kuyadingeka ukuthi uzalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya, ngoba okuzelwe yinyama kungokwenyama, kepha labo abazelwe nguMoya bangokomoya (Rom. 8: 1).

Inkinga yokwehlukana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu (isono) isukela ekuzalweni kwemvelo (1Co 15: 22), hhayi ekuziphatheni kwabantu. Isono sihlobene nemvelo yomuntu ewile, hhayi nokuziphatha kwakhe emphakathini.

Isixazululo sokulahlwa umuntu asitholile ekulungisisweni kuKristu sivela emandleni kaNkulunkulu, hhayi esenzweni sokwahlulela. Okokuqala, ngoba kwakwanele ukuthi umuntu angamlaleli uMdali ukuze kugwetshwe ukwahlulelwa kokulahlwa: ukufa (ukwahlukaniswa) kwabo bonke abantu (Rom. 5:18). Okwesibili, ngoba lapho uJesu ebiza amadoda ukuthi azothatha isiphambano sakhe, ukubeka kucace ukuthi ukuze kubuyiswane phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu kuyadingeka ukubhekana nesijeziso esibekiwe: ukufa. Ekufeni noKristu ubulungiswa buyaneliswa, ngoba isijeziso asilutho ngaphandle komuntu owonile (Mt 10: 38; 1Ko 15: 36; 2Ko 4: 14).

Lapho kubekwa indoda ekhubazekile phambi kukaJesu, wathi: “Manje ukuze wazi ukuthi iNdodana yoMuntu inamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono (wathi kofe uhlangothi), ngithi kuwe, Sukuma, uthathe lala, uye endlini yakho ”(Mk 2: 10 -11). Lo mugqa ovela kuJesu ukhombisa ukuthi indatshana yakudala evela kwabaseRoma 3, amavesi 21 kuya ku-25 ekulungisisweni ayibandakanyi imiqondo yocwaningo.

Ukuthethelela izono akuyona into efunwa ngumthetho, kungumbuzo wamandla! Yilabo kuphela abanamandla phezu kobumba abangathethelela izono zokwenza izitsha zodumo ngosayizi ofanayo (Rom 9:21). Yingakho umphostoli uPhawuli wayengenamahloni ngevangeli, ngoba ivangeli lingamandla kaNkulunkulu okusindisa wonke umuntu okholwayo (Rom. 1:16).

Ekhuluma ngalolu daba noJobe, uNkulunkulu ukubeka kucace ukuthi, ukuze umuntu akwazi ukuzibiza ngokuthi ulungile, kungadingeka ukuba nezingalo ezinjengezikaNkulunkulu nokuduma njengoPhezukonke. Kungadingeka ukugqoka ngenkazimulo nobukhazikhazi futhi ugqoke ngokuhlonipheka nangobukhosi. Kufanele akwazi ukuthulula ulaka lwakhe ngokuchoboza ababi endaweni yakhe. Kungokuhlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo ezibalwe ngenhla lapho umuntu angazisindisa khona (Jobe 40: 8-14).

Kepha, njengoba umuntu engenawo lawa amandla achazwe nguNkulunkulu, akasoze akwazi ukuthi yena ulungile noma azisindise. INdodana yomuntu, uJesu Kristu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ingasho ukuthi umuntu ulungile, ngoba Yena uqobo wazembathisa inkazimulo nobukhosi ngokubuyela enkazimulweni noBaba “Manje, Baba, ngikhazimulise nawe, leyo nkazimulo ebenginayo nawe ngaphambi kokuba kube khona umhlaba ”(Johane 17: 5); “Bhinca inkemba yakho ethangeni, wena onamandla, ngenkazimulo nobukhosi bakho” (IHu 45: 3).

Ijaji le Fair

Isinyathelo sesibili ekuqondeni imfundiso yokulungisiswa ukuqonda ukuthi ayikho indlela yokuthi uNkulunkulu amemezele labo abalahliwe bengenacala. UNkulunkulu nje akanakuvumela ukuthi isijeziso esibekwe kubenzi bokubi sisetshenziswe kubo.

UNkulunkulu akaze athi (ulungisa) olungile ukuthi ulungile “Uyakufulathela amazwi amanga, ungabulali abangenacala nabalungile; ngoba ngeke ngibalungisise ababi “(Ex 23: 7). UNkulunkulu akalokothi aphathe ababi njengokungathi nje “Makube kude nawe ukwenza into enjalo, ukubulala olungileyo kanye nomubi; abalungileyo mababe njengababi, babe kude nawe. Ubengeke yini uMahluleli womhlaba wonke enze ubulungiswa? ” (Gen. 18:25). UNkulunkulu akasoze aqinisekisa ukuthi isijeziso esinikezwe owonile sinikezwa omunye, njengoba kufundeka kanje: “Umphefumulo owonayo, uyakufa; indodana ayiyikuthatha ububi bukayise, nobaba akayikuthatha ububi bendodana. Ukulunga kolungileyo kuzohlala kuye futhi ububi bomubi buzokwehlela kuye ”(Hez 18:20).

Ngenkathi uJesu etshela uNikodemu ukuthi kuyadingeka ukuthi umuntu azalwe kabusha, yonke imibuzo engenhla yacatshangelwa, njengoba uJesu azi kahle ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaze athi labo abazalwa ngokwenyama ka-Adamu bakhululekile ecaleni.

Lapho ukuzalwa kwemvelo, umuntu wenziwa isoni, isitsha sokudikibala, ngakho-ke, ingane yolaka nokungalaleli. Ukumemezela umuntu ekhululekile esonweni, kufanele afe kuqala, ngoba uma engafi akasoze akwazi ukuphilela uNkulunkulu

yesono ”(Rom. 6: 7); “Siphukuphuku! okuhlwanyelayo akwenziwa kuphile ngaphandle kokuthi ufe kuqala ”(1Ko 15:36).

UKristu wafela izoni – abalungileyo abangalungile – kepha noma ngubani ongayidli inyama futhi angaphuzi igazi likaKrestu ngeke abe nokuphila kuye uqobo, okungukuthi, kubalulekile ukuthi umuntu abe yingxenye ekufeni kukaKristu “Ngoba noKristu wahlupheka kanye ngenxa yezono, olungileyo kwabangalungile, ukusiholela kuNkulunkulu; ubulewe enyameni, kepha wavuswa nguMoya ”(1Pet 3:18); “Ngakho-ke uJesu wathi kubo, Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe, Uma ungadli inyama yeNdodana yomuntu, uphuze negazi layo, awuyikuba nakuphila kuwe” (Johane 6:53).

Ukudla inyama nokuphuza igazi likaKristu kuyefana nokukholelwa Kuye (Johane 6:35, 47). Ukukholelwa kuKrestu kufana nokubethelwa kanye naye.Noma ngubani okholwayo ungcwatshwe Naye futhi uyeke ukuphilela isono aqale aphilele uNkulunkulu “Sengibethelwe kanye noKristu; futhi ngiyaphila, akusengimi, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi; futhi impilo engiyiphila manje enyameni, ngiyiphila ngokukholwa kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, eyangithandayo, yazinikela ngenxa yami ”(Gal 2:20; Rom. 6: 4).

Indoda ekholwa kuKristu iyavuma ukuthi inecala lokufa ngenxa yokona kuka-Adam. Ivuma ngokusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungile lapho ekhuluma futhi umsulwa lapho ahlulela inzalo ka-Adamu njengecala (IHu 51: 4). Uyavuma ukuthi nguKristu kuphela onamandla okudala umuntu omusha ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, ukuze lowo ongcwatshwe Naye avuse isidalwa esisha.

Umuntu omusha kuKristu

Isinyathelo sokugcina ekuqondeni ukulungisiswa ukuqonda ukuthi kusukela ekuzalweni okusha kuvela isidalwa esisha esidalelwe ubulungiswa beqiniso nobungcwele “Ngakho-ke, uma umuntu ekuKristu, isidalwa esisha; izinto ezindala sezihambile; bheka, konke sekukusha ”(2Ko 5:17; Efe 4:24). Lesi sidalwa esisha kuthiwa silungile ngoba ngempumelelo uNkulunkulu wasidala futhi silungile futhi singenacala phambi Kwakhe.

Umuntu okholelwa kuKrestu wenziwa umhlanganyeli omusha wobunkulunkulu (2 Pet. 1: 4), ngoba umuntu omdala wabethelwa esiphambanweni futhi nomzimba wesono wenziwa. Emva kokungcwatshwa noKristu ngokufana nokufa kwakhe, umuntu uvusa isidalwa esisha “Ngokwazi lokhu, ukuthi umuntu wethu omdala wabethelwa kanye naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uhlehliswe, ukuze singabe sisakhonza isono” (Rom 6: 6).

Ngevangeli, uNkulunkulu akagcini ngokuthi umuntu ulungile, kepha futhi udala umuntu omusha olungile. Ngokungafani nalokho okushiwo nguDkt. Scofield, ukuthi uNkulunkulu umemezela kuphela ukuthi isoni silungile, kepha akasenzi silunge.

IBhayibheli lithi uNkulunkulu udala umuntu omusha ebulungiseni nasebungcweleni beqiniso (Efe 4: 24), ngakho-ke, ukulungisiswa kuvela esenzweni sikaNkulunkulu sokudala, lapho umuntu omusha edalwa ebambe iqhaza esimweni saphezulu. Ukulungiswa kweBhayibheli kubhekisa esimweni salabo abenziwa kabusha ngeqiniso levangeli (ukukholwa): bakhululekile ekubeni necala noma ukulahlwa.

Akukho ukulahlwa ngalabo abakuKristu. Kungani kungekho ukulahlwa? Impendulo ilele ekutheni umuntu ‘ukuKristu’, ngoba labo abakuKristu bayizidalwa ezintsha “NGAKHO-ke, manje akukho ukulahlwa ngalabo abakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngokukaMoya” (Rom 8: 1); “Ngakho-ke, uma umuntu ekuKristu, isidalwa esisha sinjalo; izinto ezindala sezihambile; bheka, konke sekukusha ”(2Ko 5:17).

Ukulungisiswa kususelwa esimweni esisha salabo abakuKristu, ngoba ukuba kuKristu ukuba yisidalwa esisha “Futhi uma uKristu ekini, umzimba empeleni ufile ngenxa yesono, kodwa umoya uyaphila ngenxa ubulungiswa. Futhi uma uMoya walowo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo uhlala kini, lowo owavusa uKristu kwabafileyo uzakuphilisa nemizimba yenu efayo ngoMoya wakhe ohlala kini ”(Rom. 8: 10-11).

Nikeza umbuzo womphostoli uPawulu: “Ngoba uma thina, abafuna ukulungisiswa kuKristu, nathi sitholakale siyizoni, ingabe uKristu uyisikhonzi sesono na? Lutho ”(Gal 2:17). Manje uKristu uyisikhonzi sokulunga, futhi akayona nhlobo isikhonzi sesono, ngakho-ke, lowo olungisiswa nguKristu akatholakali eyisoni, ngoba ufile esonweni “Ngokuba ofileyo ulungisisiwe esonweni” (Rom. 6: 7).

Lapho umphostoli uPawulu ethi: nguNkulunkulu obalungisisayo! “Ubani oyomangalela abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu? NguNkulunkulu obalungisisayo ”(Rom. 8:33), wayeqiniseka impela ukuthi kwakungeyona inkinga yomthetho, ngoba enkantolo umemezela kuphela ukuthi kuyini, ngoba abanawo amandla okuguqula isimo salabo abavela phambi kwabahluleli.

Uma kuthiwa ‘nguNkulunkulu olungisisayo’, umphostoli uPawulu ukhomba amandla kaNkulunkulu adala umuntu omusha. UNkulunkulu uthi umuntu ulungile ngoba akukho ukulahlwa kulabo abayizidalwa ezintsha. UNkulunkulu akasidlulisanga isimo sendoda endala kuKristu, kodwa umuntu omdala wabethelwa esiphambanweni wahlehliswa, ukuze kuvuke izidalwa ezintsha ezifile ezihleli noKristu ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba, futhi akukho kulahlwa okunzima ngabo.

AmaKrestu kuthiwe alungile ngoba enziwe alungile (dikaioõ) ngamandla akwevangeli, umuntu abamba iqhaza ngalo emzimbeni kaKristu, ngoba wafa futhi wavuka futhi noKristu njengomuntu ongcwele, ongenacala futhi ongenacala “Emzimbeni inyama yakhe, ngokufa, ukunethula nibe ngcwele, ningenasici, ningenasici ”phambi kwakhe” (Col 1: 22; Efe 2: 6; Col 3: 1).

Lapho uPaul ethi, “Ngoba vele nifile, futhi impilo yenu ifihliwe noKristu kuNkulunkulu” (Col 3: 3), kusho ukuthi umKristu ulungisisiwe esonweni, okungukuthi, ufile esonweni (Rom. 6: 1 – 11), futhi ngiphilela uNkulunkulu “Ngakho sangcwatshwa kanye naye ngokubhabhadiswa ekufeni; ukuze, njengalokhu uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo, ngenkazimulo kaYise, kanjalo nathi sihambe ekuphileni okusha ”(Rom. 6: 4).

UJesu wanikelwa nguNkulunkulu ukuthi afe ngenxa yesono sobuntu, ngoba kuyadingeka ukuthi abantu bafe esonweni ukuze baphilele uNkulunkulu. Kungakho uKristu Jesu wavuka, ukuze kuthi labo abavuka Naye kuthiwe balungile. Ngaphandle kokufa akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, ngaphandle kovuko akukho ukuzithethelela “Ngubani owanikelwa ngenxa yezono zethu, wavuka ngenxa yokulungisiswa kwethu” (Rom. 4:25).
