Kodi chikhulupiriro chanu chilidi chikhulupiriro chimene Baibulo limatiuza kumenyera nkhondo?
"Anzanga okondedwa, ndinkafuna kwambiri kukulemberani za chipulumutso chimene tonse timagawana. Koma ndinaona kufunika kokulemberani za chinthu china: Ndikufuna kukulimbikitsani kuti mulimbane kwambiri ndi chikhulupiriro chimene chinapatsidwa kwa anthu oyera a Mulungu kamodzi kokha." Juwau 1:3 (NCV).
Pamene Yuda analemba zimene anachita, sanali kuganiza za "Chikhristu chamakono". Iye anali kulemba za chikhulupiriro chimene chinapatsidwa kwa anthu oyera a Mulungu, kamodzi kokha! Kamodzi kokha, kutanthauza, musabwere pambuyo pake ndi kunena kuti Chikristu n'chosiyana ndi chikhulupiriro choyambirira chimene chaperekedwa kwa ife! Werengani zimene zalembedwa pa Yuda 1:17 (NCV): "Okondedwa abwenzi, kumbukirani zimene atumwi a Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu ananena kale."
Kodi mukulimbana ndi chiyani kwenikweni?
Ndiye kodi chikhulupiriro chimenechi chimene Baibulo limanena kuti tiyenera kulimbana nacho n'chiyani kwenikweni? Kodi inu kwenikweni kuteteza pamene inu kuima ndi kunena, "Ine ndine Mkhristu?"
Kukhala "Mkhristu" kumatanthauza kukhala "wotsatira wa Khristu" - kukhala ndi maganizo ofanana ndi Iye. Petulo analemba kuti, "Choncho, popeza Khristu anavutika chifukwa cha ife m'thupi, dzipangireni mkono ndi maganizo amodzimodzi, pakuti iye amene wavutika m'thupi waleka [kuima ndi] uchimo." 1 Petro 4:1. "Thupi" ndi chibadwa chaumunthu chochimwa chimene timabadwa nacho. "Kuvutika m'thupi" kumatanthauza kuti inuyo, mofanana ndi Yesu, musankhe mwamphamvu kuti mudzakonda kuvutika pamene mukuyesedwa kuti muchimwe, m'malo mogonja ku chiyeso chimenecho. Mwa kuchita zimenezi mungasiyedi kuchimwa!
Petro akufotokoza kuti ndi "kuvutika", chifukwa pamene mukuti Ayi ku zilakolako zauchimo ndi zokhumba mu chikhalidwe chanu chaumunthu, mukutsutsana ndi zomwe mukufuna kuchita mwachibadwa, ndipo zimenezo n'zopweteka. Koma kuvutika kumeneku kumabweretsa chinachake chabwino - timasiya kuchimwa, timakhala omasuka ku uchimo. Kumatanthauza kutsatiradi mapazi a Kristu. Chikhulupiriro chakuti zimenezi n'zotheka ndicho chikhulupiriro chimene Baibulo limanena. Tsopano chimenecho ndi chikhulupiriro choyenera kulimbana ndi kuteteza!
Werengani zambiri: Kodi Akhristu sayenera kutsatira Khristu?
Simungathe kuteteza chikhulupiriro chanu ngati mukukhala mu uchimo
Moyo wogonjera ku uchimo - kupereka zomwe Baibulo limatcha 'zilakolako zauchimo ndi zokhumba' - zili ngati kukhala m'ndende yamdima. Kodi mungatsimikizire bwanji anthu kuti chikhulupiriro chanu ndi chikhulupiriro chimene Baibulo limalankhula ngati mukhalabe mu "ndende" imeneyi – ngati mukugonjabe ku uchimo? Aliyense akhoza kuona ndi mawu amene amatuluka m'kamwa mwanu, mwa zochita zanu ndi zochita zanu, kuti mwamangidwa ndi tchimo lanu, kuti simunaleke ndi uchimo, kuti simuli omasuka!
Ayuda atauza Yesu kuti sanakhalepo akapolo a munthu aliyense, Yesu anawayankha kuti: "Ndikukuuzani zoona, aliyense wochimwa ndi kapolo wa uchimo. Kapolo sali chiŵalo chokhalitsa cha banja, koma mwana wamwamuna ali mbali ya banja kosatha. Chotero ngati Mwanayo akumasulani, mulidi mfulu." Yohane 8:34-36 (NLT).
Yambani kukhala ngati Mkhristu – Wopanda uchimo
"Ndithudi ufulu" amatanthauza kumasuka ku uchimo! Osati kokha ufulu chifukwa Yesu anakhululukira machimo anu, komanso ufulu kudzuka m'mawa, ndi kunena Ayi chifuniro chanu. Ufulu kutenga mtanda wanu ndi kutsatira Yesu monga akunenera pa Luka 9:23. Ufulu kugonjetsa monga Iye anagonjetsa. Ndiye moyo wanu ndi umboni wa chikhulupiriro chimene mukulimbana ndi kuteteza.
Mwamwayi sitili tokha. "Iye amatha kuthandiza anthu amene akuyesedwa, popeza iye mwiniyo anakumana ndi mavuto pamene anayesedwa." Ahebri 2:18 (CEB). Yesu wakumanya ivyo vikulongora kuti munthu wali na umunthu nga ni withu. Iye amadziwa zomwe zimawononga kubwera ku moyo wogonjetsa, ndipo ndichifukwa chake mukamapemphera kwa Iye, Iye adzakuthandizani kugonjetsa malingaliro ochimwa ndi zochita zomwe zimachokera ku chikhalidwe chanu.
Chiyeso chilichonse ndi mwayi wogonjetsa, ndipo nthawi iliyonse mukakugonjetsani mudzakhala omasuka kwambiri ku uchimo!
Ngati izi ndi zomwe mukufuna, ndiye kuti musataye nthawi iliyonse. Tengani Baibulo lanu ndi kudziŵerengera nokha. Pempherani ndi kupempha Mulungu kuti akupatseni chikhulupiriro chimene Baibulo limalankhula, chikhulupiriro chakuti n'zotheka kumasuka ku uchimo. Kenaka yambani kukhala ngati Mkhristu - Mkhristu wokhala ndi chikhulupiriro choyenera kumenyera nkhondo ndi kuteteza.
