Ku 2 Petro 1:4 kwalembedwa kuti: "Kupyolera m'malonjezo awa mudzakhala ndi phande m'mkhalidwe waumulungu [waumulungu] chifukwa chakuti mwapulumuka chivundi chimene zilakolako zauchimo zimachititsa m'dziko."
Izi zikumveka zosaneneka. Kodi tingakhale ndi phande m'chibadwa chaumulungu? Kodi zimenezo zikutanthauzanji kwenikweni? Kodi sitikunyoza Mulungu ngati tikunena kuti tikhoza kukhala opembedza – monga Mulungu?
Kodi chikhalidwe chauMulungu nchiyani?
Kukhulupirira kuti ineyo pandekha ndikhoza kukhala ndi phande m'chibadwa chaumulungu sikutanthauza kuti ndikuyesera kukhala wamkulu kapena wofanana ndi Mulungu. Mulungu ndi zinthu zambiri zomwe sindidzakhala konse, mwachitsanzo, Iye ndi Wamphamvuyonse, Mlengi, Iye amadziwa zonse, ndi zina zotero.
Kukhala ndi phande m'chibadwa chaumulungu kumatanthauza kuti chibadwa changa chimakhala chofanana kwambiri ndi chibadwa cha Mulungu. Mwachitsanzo, chikhalidwe chaumulungu ndi:
Wabwino
Okoma mtima
Olungama
Wachifundo
Wokhululukira
Wodikilira mofatsa
Chimwemwe
Mtendere
Kudziletsa
Wokhulupirika
Wachulungamo
Ndipo koposa zonse, wachikondi
Palibe aliyense wa ife amene ali ngati ameneyo mwachibadwa popanda kusonkhezeredwa ndi uchimo pamlingo winawake. Makhalidwe abwino a anthu "abwino" nthawi zonse amakhala ochepa komanso opanda ungwiro, ndipo nthawi zambiri pamakhala kudzifunafuna kwakukulu mwa iwo. Mwachitsanzo pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa chilungamo cha anthu kapena chikondi cha anthu, ndi chilungamo ndi chikondi cha Mulungu.
Chibadwa cha anthu
Pa Yakobo 1:13 kwalembedwa za Mulungu kuti Iye sangayesedwe ndi zoipa. Koma munthu aliyense akhoza kuyesedwa, chifukwa tili ndi chikhalidwe chochimwa ndi zilakolako zauchimo ndi zokhumba zomwe zimatipangitsa kuyesedwa. Chimenecho ndi chibadwa cha anthu. Koma ngati sindigonja pamene ndikuyesedwa kuchimwa, ndiye sitepe ndi sitepe tchimo mu chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu "limafa". Pamenepo Mulungu angalenge makhalidwe abwino aumulungu ameneŵa, amene ali oyera ndi angwiro, m'moyo wanga. Ndi njira ya kusintha, kumene mkhalidwe wanga wakale wauchimo umasinthidwa sitepe ndi sitepe kukhala chikhalidwe chatsopano, chikhalidwe chaumulungu.
Pang'onopang'ono koma motsimikiza chipatso cha Mzimu, chomwe ndi njira ina yonenera chikhalidwe chaumulungu, chimayamba kulowa m'malo mwa tchimo mu chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu. Izi zalembedwa momveka bwino pa Agalatiya 5:16-26. Pamene ndikutsatira Yesu mokhulupirika, kugonjetsa uchimo nthaŵi iliyonse pamene ndiyesedwa, mkhalidwe wanga weniweni umakhala waumulungu m'malo mokhala munthu. Ndikhoza kutsatira chitsanzo cha Yesu chifukwa ndili ndi Mzimu Woyera mkati mwanga, amene amandisonyeza kumene ndiyenera kusintha ndi kundipatsa mphamvu kuti ndigonjetse!
Izi sizichitika zokha. Zimangochitika ngati ndikugwiritsa ntchito mwayi womwe ndimapeza tsiku ndi tsiku kuti ndigonjetse zinthu monga kunyada, kukwiya, malingaliro odetsedwa, kukayikira koipa, nsanje, miseche, ulesi, dyera, ndi zina zotero.
Yesu – Mmodzi tikhoza kutsatira
Kwalembedwa kuti Yesu anali wolingana ndi Mulungu. Koma Iye anadzichepetsa Yekha ndipo Iye anabadwira kukhala munthu, ndiyeno Iye anali womvera mpaka imfa, ndicho chifukwa chake Mulungu wamulemekeza kwambiri ndipo anam'patsa malo ndi dzina pamwamba pa mayina onse. (Afilipi 2:5-11.) Kwalembedwanso kuti kukhuta konse kwa Mulungu kumakhala m'thupi la Kristu. (Akolose 2:9.) Izi zikutanthauza kuti pamene Iye anali m'thupi la munthu, Yesu anasinthidwa kwathunthu kuchoka pa kukhala ndi chikhalidwe cha munthu chomwe chingayesedwe ku uchimo, kukhala ndi chikhalidwe chaumulungu.
Ndipo tsopano ndikuyenera kumutsatira Iye pa njira yomweyi - mwa kukhala wodzichepetsa ndi womvera pamene Mzimu Woyera andisonyeza kumene ndiyenera kusintha. Mwa chikhulupiriro ndi kuleza mtima izi n'zotheka. "Pa chifukwa chimenechi muziyesetsa kuwonjezera ukoma pa chikhulupiriro chanu; ndi ku ukoma wanu, chidziwitso; ndi ku chidziwitso chanu, kudziletsa; ndi kudziletsa kwanu, kupirira moleza mtima; ndi ku chipiriro chanu choleza mtima, umulungu; ndi ku umulungu wanu, kukoma mtima kwa pa abale; ndi kukoma mtima kwanu kwa pa abale, chikondi." 2 Petro 1:5-7.
Si chinthu chimene ndingachite ndekha. Ndi chinthu chimene Mulungu amachita mwa ine, chozizwitsa, komano ndiyenera kukhala wodzichepetsa ndi womvera pamene Iye andisonyeza zimene ndiyenera kusiya. Kenaka ine ndi anthu ena tidzawona kuti zochita zanga, zolinga, ndi cholinga m'moyo zimakhala zaumulungu - zili pamwamba kwambiri pa zomwe zili "zabwinobwino" kwa anthu. Chotulukapo cha Mulungu kuchita chozizwitsa chimenechi mwa ine nchakuti ndimayamba kuganiza mmene Mulungu amaganizira.
Mfundo yakuti Mulungu akhoza kuchita ntchito yodabwitsa kwambiri mwa ine monga munthu wabwinobwino, wachibadwa wokhala ndi chikhalidwe chochimwa kwathunthu, ndi yodabwitsa kwambiri moti ndidzatamanda, kulemekeza, ndi kumulemekeza kwamuyaya chifukwa cha zomwe Iye wachita mwa ine. Ndiye moyo wanga, "chilengedwe" chatsopano, chidzabweretsadi ulemu ndi ulemerero kwa Mulungu. Ichi ndi chiyembekezo chomwe ndili nacho, zomwe ndimalimbana nazo, zomwe ndimakhala nazo, ndi zomwe maso anga amayang'ana mwamphamvu.
