Uchimo ndikuchita chinthu chotsutsana ndi malamulo a Mulungu, kapena kusamvera malamulo a Mulungu. (1 Yohane 3:4)
Mulungu walemba malamulo Ake okhudza khalidwe labwino kapena loipa mumtima mwa munthu aliyense. M'mawu ena, anthu onse amadziwa chabwino kapena choipa (Aroma 1:19,20). Mukayesedwa kuti muchite zinthu zolakwika, chikumbumtima chanu chingakuuzeni mwamsanga kuti kuchita zimenezi n'kulakwa. Chikumbumtima chanu, chomwe ndi kumvetsetsa kwanu chabwino ndi choipa, chimakuuzani pamene mwachimwa kale, ndi pamene mwatsala pang'ono kuchita chinachake chotsutsana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu. Cholinga chake ndi kukuthandizani kuti musachimwe. Chifukwa chakuti chikumbumtima chanu ndicho kumvetsa kwanu chabwino ndi choipa, chidzaonedwa ngati tchimo ngati simuchita zimene chikumbumtima chanu chikukuuzani.

Mukayamba kutumikira ndi kumvera Mulungu, Iye adzakutumizirani Mzimu Woyera kuti akusonyezeni chifuniro Chake changwiro. Mzimu ungatsegule maso anu m'madera amene chikumbumtima chanu sichingathe, ndipo kumvetsetsa kwanu kudzakhala kofanana kwambiri ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu.

Iwo anamvera chifuniro chawo m'malo mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu ndipo anadya mtengo wodziŵitsa zabwino ndi zoipa. Chikumbumtima chawo chinadzuka, ndipo anadziŵa chabwino ndi choipa, ndipo anadziŵa kuti anachimwa. Chifukwa chakuti iwo anali osamvera chibadwa chawo chaumunthu chinaipitsidwa, ndipo analandira mkhalidwe lauchimo, kapena thupi lauchimo.
Tchimo m'thupi (m'chibadwa cha munthu) – Kukhala ndi tchimo
Ana onse a Adamu ndi Hava ndi mibadwo yam'tsogolo analandira chikhalidwe choipa kapena chochimwa chimenechi - onse anabadwa ndi chikhumbo chofuna kuchita zofuna zawo osati chifuniro cha Mulungu. Mu Aroma 7:18 (CSB) Paulo analemba kuti: "Pakuti ndidziŵa kuti palibe chabwino chimene chimakhala mwa ine, ndiko kuti, m'thupi langa [mkhalidwe wanga wauchimo]." Pano akufotokoza mmene tonsefe tinabadwira ndi chikhumbo chimenechi cha kuchita tchimo. Baibulo limagwiritsa ntchito mawu ambiri pofotokoza izi: tchimo m'thupi, tchimo mu chikhalidwe chathu chaumunthu, thupi la uchimo, lamulo la uchimo, zilakolako ndi zikhumbitsondi zauchimo
Yohane analemba kuti: "Ngati tinena kuti tilibe tchimo, tidzipusitsa tokha, ndipo choonadi sichiri mwa ife." 1 Yohane 1:8 (ICB). Tchimo limene muli nalo ndi tchimo limeneli m'thupi lanu, m'chibadwa chanu chaumunthu, zilakolako zauchimo zimenezi zimene munabadwa nazo. Ichi si mlandu wanu; ndi chinthu chomwe mumabadwa nacho, ndipo simuyenera kumva kuti ndinu wolakwa. Nthaŵi iriyonse pamene muyesedwa ku chinachake cholakwika, mudzawona chikhumbo chauchimo chimenechi. "Tikuyesedwa ndi zilakolako zathu zomwe zimatikoka ndi kutigwira." Yakobo 1:14 (CEV). Koma pali kusiyana kwakukulu pokhala ndi tchimo, izi ndikukhala ndi chikhalidwe chochimwa - kumene mukugwidwa (kugwidwa) ndi zilakolako zanu zolakwika - ndikuchita tchimo.
Kodi mwachimwa liti kapena kuchita tchimo?
Yakobo akupitiriza kulemba kuti: "Zilakolako izi zimabala uchimo. Ndipo uchimo ukaloledwa kukula, umabala imfa." Yakobo 1:15 (NLT). Pano tikuwona kuti chiyeso chimangokhala tchimo ngati muchita chinthu chochimwa chimene mukuyesedwa; ndi pamene mukugwirizana mwadala ndi chilakolako chauchimo. Kenaka mumachita tchimo, ndipongakhale m'zimene mukuganiza, kapena kunena kapena kuchita. Tsopano muli ndi mlandu. N'zotheka kukhululukidwa ngati mwalapa ndi mtima wonse. Koma pambuyo pa kupempha chikhululukiro, chiyenera kukhala cholimba kuti musachisanzenso.
Werengani zambiri m'nkhani izi: "Kodi pali kusiyana kotani pakati pa mayesero ndi uchimo?"
Tchimo simukulidziwa – zochita za thupi
N'zoonekeratu kuti mungachite, kunena kapena kuganiza zinthu zotsutsana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu, popanda kuzizindikira. Baibulo limati machitidwe amenewa ndi "zochita za thupi" komanso kukhala "mkaidi wa chilamulo cha uchimo" m'thupi lanu (werengani za izi mu Aroma 7 ndi 8). Chifukwa chakuti simunadziwe kapena kuzindikira kuti zomwe mukuchita, zinali zolakwika, simudzalangidwa chifukwa cha "zochita za thupi" izi. Mulungu sadzakuweruzani chifukwa cha tchimo limene simukudziwa kuti ndi tchimo. Koma pambuyo pake zingakuonekereni kuti zochita zimenezi ndi tchimo. Ndiye muyenera kuwaweruza ndikusankha mwadala kunena kuti "Ayi" kwa iwo - mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu. Mu Aroma 8:13 izi zikufotokozedwa kuti "ndi Mzimu umapha ntchito za thupi".
