Mwangopereka mtima wanu kwa Yesu. Mwalapa ndipo machimo anu akhululukidwa. M'mawu ena, mwapulumutsidwa! Kupulumutsidwa ku zotulukapo za uchimo, umene uli imfa. Yesu Khristu wapereka ngongole imeneyo kwa inu, ndipo tsopano, chifukwa mumakhulupirira Mwa Iye, mwalandira moyo wosatha! (Yohane 3:16.) Iyi ndi mphatso yaikulu yodabwitsa ya chisomo.
Koma kodi ndizo zonse? Kodi limenelo ndilo tanthauzo lonse la tanthauzo la kupulumutsidwa? Bwanji ponena za zimene mlembi wa kalata yopita kwa Ahebri analemba? "... Iye amathanso kupulumutsa kwambiri [kwathunthu] anthu amene amabwera kwa Mulungu kudzera mwa Iye, popeza nthawi zonse amakhala ndi moyo kuti awapempherere [kuwapempherera]." Ahebri 7:25. Kodi zikutanthauza chiyani kuti Iye "adzasunga mpaka kufika pa zonse"?
Iye amatha kupulumutsa mpaka kwathunthu - chipulumutso chozama kwambiri
Lemba la Aheberi 7:25 limanena za chipulumutso chakuya kwambiri, chipulumutso osati kokha kuchokera ku zotsatira kapena zotsatira za uchimo, koma ku ukapolo weniweniwo ndi unyolo wa uchimo. Mukhoza kupulumutsidwa kuti musamangidwe kuchita machimo omwewo mobwerezabwereza, kuti musafunikire chikhululukiro mobwerezabwereza! Kwenikweni mukhoza kupulumutsidwa osati kokha ku chilango cha kugonjera ku kuphulika kwa mkwiyo, mwachitsanzo, koma mukhoza kumasulidwa ku magwero a mkwiyo umene uli m'thupi lanu, m'chibadwa chanu chaumunthu. Izi zimachitika pamene mukumvera kukumbutsidwa kwa Mzimu Woyera ndi kukana zilakolako ndi zikhoterero zauchimo izi m'thupi lanu, mu chikhalidwe chanu chaumunthu. Mumapanga chisankho chozindikira kuti musawapatse, ndipo mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu muwanene kuti "Ayi" kwa iwo asanakule kukhala uchimo, kukhala ntchito yauchimo. (Aroma 8:13). Kodi zimenezo sizikumveka zodabwitsa? Ndipo popeza yesu nthawi zonse amakhala ndi moyo kuti akupempherereni, kukupemphererani, zimatsimikiziridwa kuti zidzapambana kudzera mu thandizo ndi mphamvu zomwe mumalandira kuchokera kwa Mzimu Woyera, Mthandizi Amene Watituma.
Mukakhala wokhulupirika kunena kuti "Ayi" ku zilakolako zanu zauchimo ndi zikhoterero nthawi iliyonse yomwe mukuyesedwa - zinthu monga malingaliro odetsedwa, nsanje, kunyada - ndiye kuti mudzatero, ngati simugonja, kugonjetsa kwathunthu ndi kugonjetsa zikhoterero zauchimo izi. Chidutswa ndi chidutswa, iwo adzataya mphamvu, kufikira atafa kotheratu! Makhalidwe abwino adzakula kumene zikhoterero zauchimo zimenezi zinali zozika mizu kwambiri. Izi ndi zomwe zimatanthawuzidwa pa Ahebri 7:25 ndi "kupulumutsa kwathunthu".
Izi si ndondomeko yofulumira, kamodzi, koma ndondomeko ya moyo wonse ya kukhulupirika. Muyenera kukhala wokhulupirika ku kukumbutsa ndi mawu a Mzimu tsiku lililonse. Mzimu udzakutsogolerani mu choonadi chonse monga momwe Yesu ananenera pa Joh.16:13, Iye mwachitsanzo adzakuwonetsani gwero la mkwiyo wanu ndi nsanje, kuti si anthu ena omwe akukuchititsani kukwiya kapena kuchita nsanje, koma kuti mukuyesedwa kuchokera ku zilakolako zanu zauchimo ndi chilengedwe (Jam.1:14). Ndipo nthaŵi iriyonse pamene muvomereza chowonadi, chowonadi chimenechi chidzakupangitsani kukhala mfulu pamlingo wozama kwambiri.
Ndondomeko ya chipulumutso ichi
Izi zikufotokozedwa ndi kufotokozedwa ndi mawu a Atumwi, komanso ndi mawu a Yesu mwiniwake komanso:
"... tiyeni tipitirize kukhala angwiro, osayikanso maziko a kulapa kuchokera ku ntchito zakufa ..." Ahebri 6:1. "Choncho mudzakhala angwiro, monga Atate wanu wakumwamba ali wangwiro." —Mateyu 5:48. "Osati kuti ndapeza kale, kapena ndakwaniritsa kale; koma ndikanikiza pa ... Ndimakanikiza kulinga ku cholinga ..." Afilipi 3:12-15. "Ndipo chipiriro chikhale ndi zotsatira zake zonse ..." Yakobo 1:4.
Umu ndi mmene inu "... chitani chipulumutso chanu ndi mantha ndi kunjenjemera." Osati chifukwa chakuti ndinu wamphamvu kwambiri ndi waluso, koma chifukwa chakuti mukuyembekezera cholinga chanu ndi chiyembekezo chachikulu, ku mapeto kapena cholinga chomaliza cha chikhulupiriro chanu. Mumamvera "Mulungu amene amagwira ntchito mwa inu chifuniro ndi kuchita," ndiponso amene amakupatsani mphamvu zochita! Mukhoza kukhala "... chidaliro cha chinthu ichi, kuti Iye amene wayamba ntchito yabwino mwa inu adzamaliza mpaka tsiku la Yesu Khristu." Afilipi 2:12-13; Afilipi 1:6.
Ngati mukusankhabe kuchimwa, ndiye kuti simuli m'njira ya chipulumutso, osati kupulumutsidwa kotheratu. Koma ngati mukuyenda momvera Mzimu, mumati "Ayi" ku zikhoterero zauchimo m'thupi lanu, chikhalidwe chanu chaumunthu, monga momwe Mzimu umawasonyezera kwa inu, ndiye kuti mudzapambana chipatso cha Mzimu. Zinthu monga chikondi, chimwemwe, kukoma mtima, kudziletsa, ndi zina zotero. Ndiyeno muli m'njira imene Paulo akufotokoza pa Aroma 5:10 kuti: "Pakuti ngati pamene tinali adani tinayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu mwa imfa ya Mwana Wake, koposa, popeza tinayanjanitsidwa, tidzapulumutsidwa ndi moyo Wake." Potsatira chitsanzo cha Yesu, muli panjira ya kupulumutsidwa kotheratu.
Cholinga chomaliza cha chikhulupiriro chanu
Simudzapita ku umuyaya popanda kanthu, koma mudzakhala olemera ndi zipatso za Mzimu mu mzimu wanu! Izi ndi zomwe mwapambana mu mwayi wosiyana womwe umabwera kwa inu - mwayi umenewu umabwera ngati mayesero, mayesero, ndi zovuta m'moyo wanu wa tsiku ndi tsiku zomwe zimakuwonetsani tchimo lomwe lili m'thupi lanu. Mudzasandulika – mudzagwirizana ndi chifaniziro cha Yesu, mudzakhala ngati Yesu! (Aroma 8:28-29) Mudzakhala ndi phande m'mkhalidwe waumulungu! (2 Petro 1:3-4).
"Lingalirani kukhala chimwemwe chenicheni, abale ndi alongo anga, nthaŵi iliyonse pamene muyang'anizana ndi ziyeso za mitundu yambiri, chifukwa mudziŵa kuti kuyesedwa kwa chikhulupiriro chanu kumabala kulimbikira. Lolani kulimbikira kumaliza ntchito yake kuti mukhale okhwima ndi okwanira, osasowa kanthu." Yakobo 1:2-4.
"M'zonsezi mumakondwera kwambiri, ngakhale kuti tsopano kwa kanthawi kochepa mwina munayenera kuvutika ndi chisoni m'mayesero amtundu uliwonse. Izi zafika kotero kuti kuwona kotsimikiziridwa kwa chikhulupiriro chanu—kwa mtengo waukulu kuposa golidi, kumene kumawonongeka ngakhale kuti kuyengedwa ndi moto—kungachititse chitamando, ulemerero ndi ulemu pamene Yesu Kristu avumbulidwa... pakuti mukulandira mapeto a chikhulupiriro chanu, chipulumutso cha miyoyo yanu." 1 Petro 1:6-9.
