Pa Aheberi 5:9 (NCV) limanena za Yesu kuti: "Ndipo chifukwa chakuti kumvera kwake kunali kwangwiro, anatha kupereka chipulumutso chosatha kwa onse omumvera." Yesu anabwera kudzapereka chipulumutso chosatha kwa onse amene amamumvera. M'mawu ena, palibe chipulumutso, palibe moyo wosatha, popanda kumvera! Imfa inadza m'dziko mwa kusamvera. Tsopano moyo wosatha ungangokhala wathu mwa kumvera chikhulupiriro! Chifukwa chakuti Kristu anali womvera, Iye anatitheketsa kupeza moyo wosatha.
Ngati tili ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Mulungu ndi mawu Ake, zimatipangitsa kumvera ndi kuchita zonse zimene Iye amatiuza kuchita. Mulungu amapereka Mzimu Woyera kwa iwo amene amamumvera (Machitidwe 5:32). Mzimu umenewu wokha ndi umene ungatisonyeze zimene tiyenera kuchita, ndi kutipatsa mphamvu zochitira zimenezo.
Sitingapite patsogolo m'moyo wathu wauzimu ngati tiganiza kuti Kristu anali womvera m'malo mwa ife. Ngati tikufuna kupita patsogolo kulikonse, tiyenera kukhala omvera monga momwe zalembedwera momveka bwino pa Ahebri 5:9.
Kukhulupirira ndi kumvera
Kodi ntchito imene Mulungu anapatsa Paulo inali yotani? Anayenera kutsogolera anthu a mitundu yonse kukhulupirira ndi kumvera chikhulupiriro chimenecho, monga momwe zalembedwera pa Aroma 1:5 (NCV): "Kudzera mwa Khristu, Mulungu anandipatsa ntchito yapadera ya mtumwi, yomwe inali yotsogolera anthu a mitundu yonse kukhulupirira ndi kumvera." Anthu ayenera kuphunzitsidwa kukhala omvera, osati kungokhulupirira kumvera kwa Kristu ndi kusangalala ndi zimenezo.
Ndi kokha mwa kukhala omvera kuti tikhozadi kupita patsogolo m'moyo wathu wauzimu. Tiyenera kukhala omvera kuyambira tsiku limene tatembenuzidwa – pamene tikuitana pa dzina Lake, kukhulupirira Yesu, ndi kuulula machimo athu – chifukwa ichi ndi chinthu choyamba chimene uthenga wabwino umatiuza kuchita. Kuyambira pamenepo nkofunika kuti tipitirizebe monga momwe tayamba: kukhala omvera pa mfundo iliyonse.
Uthenga wa uthenga wabwino ndi womveka bwino komanso wosavuta kumvetsa. Ndani angapemphe mawu omveka bwino kuposa mwachitsanzo Mateyu 28:20 (GNT), "... ndi kuwaphunzitsa kumvera zonse zimene ndakulamulirani." – kumvera mawu onse!
Taganizirani mwachitsanzo za Ulaliki wa pa Phiri! Pali zambiri zomvera ndi kuchita mukawerenga izi. Kuti mukhale omvera mufunikira chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi! Muyenera kupemphera! Mukufunikira Mzimu ndi mphamvu! Chilichonse chimene timafunikira kuti tikhale omvera chimaperekedwa kwa ife mwa Yesu Khristu, ndipo chimapezeka kwa ife usana ndi usiku. Mulungu atamandidwe!
Kumvera kumatsogolera kuchitapo kanthu
Ndani angapemphe chilichonse chomveka bwino kuposa mawu odalitsika a Yakobo okhudza kumvera? Iwo ali omveka bwino! "Kodi ndi ubwino wotani, abale ndi alongo okondedwa, ngati mukunena kuti muli ndi chikhulupiriro koma simukuchisonyeza ndi zochita zanu? Kodi chikhulupiriro choterocho chingapulumutse aliyense? ... Choncho mukuona, chikhulupiriro chokha sichikwanira. Pokhapokha ngati imatulutsa ntchito zabwino, ndi yakufa komanso yopanda pake... Ngakhale ziwanda zimakhulupirira ... Zopusa bwanji! Kodi simungaone kuti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito zabwino n'chopanda pake?... Monga momwe thupi lilili lakufa popanda mpweya, chikhulupiriro chilinso chakufa popanda ntchito zabwino." Yakobo 2:14-26 (NLT).
Ndikukhulupirira kuti palibe amene angakayikire tanthauzo la zimenezi. Popanda kukhala womvera, n'zopanda pake, zopanda pake! Mukhoza kuganiza zimene mukufuna, kunena zimene mukufuna ndi kukhulupirira zimene mukufuna — koma kumvera ndiko chinthu chofunika! Palibe chipulumutso popanda icho, palibe kupita patsogolo kwina popanda kumvera kwakuya.
Mulungu amapereka chisomo, koma chifukwa cha chiyani? Ndi chifukwa chimodzi ichi: kutithandiza kukhala omvera! Ngati tikuganiza zina, ndiye kuti tikungodzinyenga tokha ndipo tsiku lina tidzakhala ndi chisoni chenicheni. Ziribe kanthu zomwe mumanena kapena kuchita, kapena gawo lomwe muli. Dziwani izi: chinthu chokha chofunika ndi kukhulupirira ndi kumvera.
Chilichonse chimene timafunikira kuti tikhale omvera chingapezeke ndi kulandiridwa mwa Khristu Yesu, choncho tilibe chodzikhululukira. Chotero tiyeni tichite zonse zimene tingathe kuti tikhale omvera m'zonse! (2 Akorinto 10:5-6; 2 Akorinto 2:9.)
