Mulungu ndiye chikondi, ndiye angalole bwanji kuti aliyense azivutika kwamuyaya?
Kodi Mulungu wachikondi angatumize bwanji anthu ku gehena?
N’zoonekeratu kuti gehena ilipo. Yesu amalankhula za gehena kangapo m’Mauthenga Abwino (Mateyu 23:33; Luka 12:5; Mateyu 16:18). Koma zingakhale zovuta kuganiza mmene Mulungu wachikondi ndi wachifundo angatumizire anthu kumalo ofotokozedwa kuti ndi “ng’anjo yamoto” (Mateyu 13:50).
Njira yomaliza—pamene zina zonse zalephera
M’dongosolo la chilungamo, ndende nthawi zambiri imawonedwa ngati njira yomaliza. Izi zili choncho chifukwa cha zotsatira zake zoipa pa moyo wa munthu. Nthawi zambiri, wachifwamba akakhala nthawi yaitali m’ndende limodzi ndi zigawenga zina, m’pamenenso mwayi woti adzakhalenso nzika zabwino umachepa.
Koma nthawi zina ndiyo njira yokhayo. Kuwonjezera pa kukhala chilango, nthawi zina ndiyo njira yokhayo yotsimikizira kuti sadzachitanso milandu ina.
Werenganinso: Kodi Baibulo limati chiyani za Tsiku la Chiweruzo?
Mulungu wachifundo ndi woleza mtima
Pankhani yoweruza anthu kuti apite ku gehena, Baibulo limasonyeza kuti ichi ndi chosankha chomaliza cha Mulungu. “Ambuye sazengereza kuchita zimene analonjeza, monga ena amaganizira. Iwo akukulezerani mtima, sakufuna kuti aliyense awonongeke, koma akufuna kuti aliyense alape.” 2 Petro 3:9.
Mulungu safuna kuti aliyense aponyedwe ku gehena. Amakonda aliyense amene Iye wamuika padziko lapansi. Amapatsa anthu mipata yambiri yolapa ndi kulandira chikhululukiro. Mulungu amafikira anthu m’njira zosiyanasiyana, akugwira ntchito mwa iwo kuti akhazikitse mtendere pakati pawo ndi Iye. Anatumizanso Mwana wake yekhayo padziko lapansi kuti atisonyeze njira, zonsezi n’cholinga choti tikhale ndi mwayi uliwonse wopulumutsidwa. (Yohane 3:16.)
M’masiku a Nowa “Pamene Yehova anaona kuti kuyipa kwa munthu pa dziko lapansi kunali kwakukulu ndi kuti nthawi zonse amalingalira ndi kukhumbira kuchita zoyipa zokhazokha.” Genesis 6:5. Koma Mulungu anapulumutsa Nowa, ndipo kudzera mwa iye anasunga tsogolo la anthu onse, ataganiza zowononga zamoyo zonse (Genesis 6). Ichi ndi chitsanzo choonekeratu cha kuleza mtima ndi chifundo chake.
Mulungu ndi yemweyo ndendende lerolino. Chidani chake pa uchimo ndi kuwonongeka kumene umayambitsa sizinachepe m’kupita kwa nthawi. N’chimodzimodzinso ndi chikhumbo chake chenicheni chakuti aliyense alape. Koma sadzakakamiza aliyense kuti alape. Munthu aliyense ayenera kusankha mwa kufuna kwake yekha kutumikira Mulungu m’malo mochita uchimo.
Werenganinso: N’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu anatipatsa ufulu wosankha?
Zonsezi zimayamba ndi kuopa Mulungu. Kuopa kwa Yosefe kuchimwira Mulungu kunamuthandiza kuona tchimo monga mmene Mulungu amalionera, ndipo anati: “Tsono ndingachite bwanji choyipa choterechi ndi kuchimwira Mulungu?” Genesis 39:9.
Ngati mukuganiza kuti kuweruzidwa kuti mukapite ku gehena ndi chilango chokhwima kwambiri, ndiye kuti simukuona mmene uchimo ulili woipa kwenikweni. Mulungu sangalole chilichonse chodetsedwa mu ufumu wake, chifukwa zimenezo zingawononge zinthu zopatulika ndi zoyera. Ngati uchimo ukanalowa kumwamba, temberero limene lili padziko lapansi chifukwa cha uchimo likanalowanso kumwamba, ndipo Mulungu salola kuti zimenezi zichitike. Malamulo ake osatha ndi osasinthika ndi okhazikika ndipo sagwedezeka, ndipo sachita zosiyana.
Gehena si malo amene anthu amangotumizidwa. Monga momwe pali njira yopita kumwamba, palinso njira yopita ku gehena. Ndi njira imene munthu amasankha kutsatira, njira imene amasankha kalekale asanafike kumeneko. Munthu akasankha mwadala kukhala moyo wosemphana ndi malamulo a Mulungu, n’kukana kumvera Mulungu akamuuza kuti alape, amasankha yekha mmene moyo wake udzathere.
Mulungu, Woweruza wolungama
“Akubwera kudzaweruza anthu onse padziko lapansi m’chilungamo ndi choonadi.” Salmo 96:13.
Ngakhale anthu amene sanamvepo za Mulungu adzaweruzidwa ndi Iye tsiku lina. Adzaweruzidwa malinga ndi chikumbumtima chawo, malinga ndi kuzindikira kwachibadwa kwa chabwino ndi choipa kumene munthu aliyense amakhala nako, komanso mmene akhala akukhalira motsatira zimenezo.
Mulungu ndi wolungama, ndipo palibe amene adzaponyedwa ku gehena chifukwa chochita chinthu chimene sankadziwa kuti chinali cholakwika. Koma aliyense amene amachita zinthu zosemphana ndi chikumbumtima chake tsiku lina adzayenera kuyankha pa zimenezo (Aroma 2:12-16). Mulungu ndi wolungama kwambiri moti palibe amene adzatha kuima pamaso pake tsiku limenelo n’kunena kuti chinachake sichinali cholungama.
Kuyankha mlandu wa moyo wanu
Koma kuopa gehena ndi chiweruzo chosatha sikuyenera kukhala chifukwa chachikulu chimene chimatsogolera zisankho zathu zonse. Ayi, kuleza mtima kwa Mulungu, chifundo chake, ndi chikondi chake pa ife ziyenera kutipangitsa kulakalaka kuti nafenso timukonde. Mpaka kufika poopa kumuchimwira. Ingodzifunsani nokha kuti, “Ndili panjira iti? Ndi maganizo ati amene ndimalola kukhala mumtima mwanga, ndipo adzanditsogolera ku chiyani ndikapitiriza kuwasunga mumtima mwanga?”
Zosankha zimene mukupanga panopa zimatsimikizira kumene mudzakhale kwamuyaya, choncho musanyalanyaze choonadi chokhudza zotsatira za kuchimwira Mulungu. Nthawi yathu padziko lapansi ikatha, aliyense adzayenera kuyankha pamaso pa Woweruza wolungama. Patsiku limenelo, mudzaimirira pamenepo, osati pamodzi ndi anzanu kapena abale anu, koma muli nokha—inu ndi Mulungu basi. Simungabwerere kuti mukonze zinthu. Lero, mukhozabe.
Ino ndiyo nthawi yoyambira kuyenda pa njira yoyenera, njira yopanda nkhawa ndi kusakhazikika mtima kumene kumadza chifukwa cha moyo wosakonzekera chiweruzo. Onse amene amasankha kumvera malamulo odalitsika a Mulungu amaona kuti Iye ndi wabwino kwambiri! Amakhala moyo wokwanira, wodzaza ndi mtendere ndi chimwemwe. Kulikonse kumene anthu otere amapita, amafalitsa chisangalalo ndi kuwala kwa dzuwa – mosasamala kanthu za mmene zinthu zilili pa nkhani ya ndalama zawo, thanzi lawo, kapena zochitika zina pa moyo wawo. Pokhala motsatira malamulo a Mulungu, amabweretsa chithunzithunzi cha kumwamba m’malo owazungulira. Izi ndi zimene Mulungu amafuna pa moyo wathu.
