Kukhulupirira si kungodziŵa kuti Baibulo ndi loona ndipo limavomereza kuti linauziridwa ndi Mulungu. Kukhulupirira n'chimodzimodzi ndi kukhala ndi chikhulupiriro chakuti Mulungu aliko, kuti Iye ali moyo, ali wokangalika, ndipo amakukondani kwambiri lerolino. "Ndipo popanda chikhulupiriro n'zosatheka kukondweretsa Mulungu, chifukwa aliyense amene akubwera kwa Iye ayenera kukhulupirira kuti Iye alipo ..." Ahebri 11:6 (NIV). Pano kwalembedwa kuti Mulungu alipo, osati kuti Mulungu anakhalako!
Kukhulupirira sikuli kopanda pake
Mukakhulupiriradi Baibulo, mudzayamba kuchita chinachake! Kukhulupirira sikuli kumverera kopanda pake. Ngati muŵerenga Ahebri mutu 11 mudzawona mmene ngwazi za chikhulupiriro m'Chipangano Chakale zinagonjetsera mavuto ambiri aakulu mwa chikhulupiriro chawo. Iwo anatumikira Mulungu wamoyo amene anawathandiza m'njira zodabwitsa.
Chikhulupiriro mwa Mulungu chimandipangitsa kuchita chinachake, monga momwe chalembedwera m'chigawo chomaliza cha Ahebri 11:6 (NIV): "... Amapereka mphoto kwa anthu amene amamufunafuna ndi mtima wonse." Ngwazi za chikhulupiriro zinafunafuna Mulungu ndi mtima wonse ndipo zinali zokangalika kwambiri m'chikhulupiriro chawo: "Nowa anamanga chingalawa chachikulukuti apulumutse banja lake ku chigumula." Ahebri 11:7 (NLT). Lerolino, nafenso tiyenera kufunafuna Mulungu ndi mtima wonse mwa kuŵerenga, kumvera Mawu Ake ndi kukhulupirira kuti Iye adzatifupa.
Kodi Mulungu amapereka mphoto motani kwa anthu amene amamufunafuna ndi mtima wonse? M'Baibulo muli zitsanzo zambiri. Mwachitsanzo, werengani 2 Petulo 1:4 (NLT) ndipo mudzaona kuti Mulungu akuti "... anatipatsa malonjezo aakulu ndi amtengo wapatali. Awa ndi malonjezo amene amakuthandizani kugawana chikhalidwe chake chaumulungu [chaumulungu] ndi kuthawa chinyengo cha dziko chochititsidwa ndi zilakolako za anthu."
Lonjezo lamtengo wapatali
Kugawana chikhalidwe chaumulungu cha Yesu ndi mphoto yaikulu kwambiri yomwe ilipo ndipo si chinthu chovuta kumvetsa. Chikhalidwe chaumulungu chimangokhala chipatso cha Mzimu: chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, kukoma mtima, kukhulupirika, kufatsa, ndi kudziletsa zomwe zafotokozedwa pa Agalatiya 5:22-23. Njira ina yofotokozera chikhalidwe chaumulungu ndi "moyo wa Yesu", womwe ungawonedwe mwa ife ndi ena. (2 Akorinto 4:11.)
Apanso, tiyenera kumufunafuna ndi mtima wonse ndi kukhala omvera ngati tikufuna kugawana nawo chipatso cha Mzimu. Tiyenera "kuthawa chinyengo cha dziko chochititsidwa ndi zilakolako za anthu". 2 Petro 1:4 (NLT). Tiyenera "nthawi zonse kunyamula imfa ya Yesu m'matupi athu ..." 2 Akorinto 4:10 (CEB). Kuthawa ziphuphu za dziko lino, zomwe zimaphatikizapo tchimo mkati mwathu, ndi kudzazidwa ndi chipatso cha Mzimu - ndizo zomwe Chipangano Chatsopano chonse chiri.
Kupyolera m'chikhulupiriro chawo chamoyo, ngwazi za Chipangano Chakale zinakumana ndi mphamvu yamphamvu ya Mulungu ya kuwononga adani awo. Mu Chipangano Chatsopano, Mulungu wachita chinachake chaulemerero kwambiri: Mkati mwa thupi la Yesu, Iye anawononga tchimo lomwe limapezeka mu chikhalidwe cha anthu. (Aroma 8:3.) Mulungu sanakakamize Yesu kudzimana Iye mwini; koma Yesu Mwini anakhulupirira ndi kumvera Mulungu m'mikhalidwe yonse ya moyo Wake.
Werengani zambiri za izi mu "Kodi Khristu wabwera m'thupi?"
Yesu wagonjetsa, ndipo Iye watheketsa inu ndi ine kugonjetsa m'njira imodzimodziyo. (Chivumbulutso 3:21.) Angatipulumutse kwathunthu!
"Yesu anamuuza kuti, 'Ngati ungakhulupirire, zinthu zonse n'zotheka kwa iye amene amakhulupirira.'" —Maliko 9:23.
