Chipulumutso - "ntchito yopulumutsa"
Ndi bwino kwambiri kuganizira tanthauzo la mawu akuti "chipulumutso." Ndizofanana ndi "kupulumutsa". Chipulumutso mwa Yesu Khristu ndi "ntchito yopulumutsa". Monga anthu, timapezeka kuti tili mumkhalidwe wopanda chiyembekezo chifukwa cha uchimo. Sitiyenera thandizo pang'ono chabe - ayi, tiyenera kupulumutsidwa ku ulamuliro wa uchimo ndi kudzisankhira kwathu. Izi n'zimene Yesu akufuna kuchita, ndipo palibe wina aliyense amene angathe kuchita zimenezi.
Yesu ali ndi mphamvu zokhululukira machimo athu ndi kutithandiza pamene tikuyesedwa kuti tithe kugonjetsa. Ndipo Iye adzatisintha kuti tikhale ngati Iye (Aroma 8:29). Uthenga wabwino sumatipatsa chiyembekezo chokhala bwino pang'ono, koma kusintha kwathunthu.
Zipatso za Mzimu – kapena chilungamo changa?
Tiyenera kuwonetsa zipatso za Mzimu ngati chimwemwe, mtendere, ubwino, chikondi, kuleza mtima, ndi zina zotero, koma izi siziyenera kusokonezedwa ndi makhalidwe abwino a anthu. Pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pathu monga anthu. Anthu ena amabadwa ndi mphamvu yaikulu ya khalidwe, pamene ena ndi ofooka ndipo amagonja mosavuta. Ena ndi odzikonda kwambiri pamene ena ali ndi chikhalidwe chokoma mtima ndi chodzimana. Koma Mulungu si wopanda chilungamo. Amene amabadwa ndi umunthu waumunthu "wabwino" alibe phindu lalikulu m'maso Mwake kuposa ena. Ayi, aliyense amafuna chipulumutso.
Makhalidwe athu abwino aumunthu ndi ochepa kwambiri. Mwachitsanzo, tingasonyeze kuleza mtima kapena kukoma mtima, koma ngati zinthu zikhala zovuta kwambiri, kuleza mtima ndi kukoma mtima kwathu kudzatha posachedwapa.
Pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa makhalidwe abwino a anthu ndi zipatso za Mzimu. Tikhoza kukhala ndi makhalidwe abwino, kukhala okoma mtima ndi abwino ndi kukhala ndi moyo wabwino, koma ngati tili oona mtima ndi oona mtima, mwamsanga timapeza kuti ntchito zathu zabwino kwambiri sizili zoyera. Mwachitsanzo, mwina ndife othandiza kwambiri kokha chifukwa tikufuna kuti anthu azitikonda, ndipo pamene tikuchita chinachake chabwino kwa ena, mwina timawaweruza pang'ono, kapena tili ndi zofuna zobisika pa iwo, ndi zina zotero. Tingachite "zinthu zabwino" zambiri tokha, koma anthu sadzaona ufumu wosatha wa Mulungu kapena ulemerero wa Mulungu m'miyoyo yathu.
Zabwino zomwe timachita tokha zikhoza kufotokozedwa mwachidule pansi pa mawu akuti "chilungamo changa". Koma zimenezi zilibe kanthu ndi "chilungamo chochokera kwa Mulungu ndipo n'chozikidwa pa chikhulupiriro." Afilipi 3:9. Mofanana ndi Paulo, tiyenera kuvomereza kuti "Ndikudziwa kuti zabwino sizikukhala mwa ine--ndiko kuti, m'chibadwa changa chaumunthu." Aroma 7:18. Pano aliyense ali wofanana.
Moyo m'mapazi a Yesu
Ndiyenera kumvetsetsa kuti ineyo sindingathe kukhala ndi moyo m'njira yakuti ndimaululadi ulemerero wa Mulungu kwa anthu ozungulira ine. Ndi ndekha sindingathe kukhala m'njira yoti ndilidi wopanda dyera, nthawi zonse wachikondi, woleza mtima etc. Ndiyenera kufika pomwe ndikumvetsetsa kuti ndiyenera kukhala ndi chikhulupiriro mothandizidwa ndi Yesu, yemwe adzandipulumutsa ku dyera langa, kusowa chikondi, kusaleza mtima etc. Kenako ndimapita kwa Mulungu n'kumapemphera ndi mtima wanga wonse kuti andichitire chifundo ndi kundikometsera kuti andithandize. (Ahebri 4:16.)
Mulungu amaona zosowa zanga ndipo Iye amamva pemphero langa, ndipo amandipatsa mawu ochokera kwa Iye pamene ndibwera m'mayesero ndi mayesero. Yankho la pemphero silitanthauza kuti sindikuyesedwanso kapena kuyesedwa - ayi, zikutanthauza kuti ndimaphunzira kumvera mawu Ake ndikuti Iye amandithandiza kunena kuti Ayi pamene ndikuyesedwa, mpaka tchimo lifa. (Ahebri 5:7-8.) Zotsatira zake, sindidzapeza pang'ono ndi pang'ono zipatso zambiri za Mzimu.
Pali zakuya zazikulu ndi zaulemerero mu uthenga wabwino uwu, ndipo sitidzatha ndi kufufuza zotheka kuti uthenga wa mtandaamapereka. Timasintha ndipo kusintha kumeneku kumachokera kwa Mulungu. Fungo lokoma losangalatsa lakumwamba la Yesu Kristu likuwonekera m'moyo wanga. (2 Akorinto 2:15-16.) Chimenecho ndi chinthu chosiyana kotheratu ndi kungokhala ndi makhalidwe abwino ndi makhalidwe abwino a anthu. Ndi moyo m'mapazi a Yesu, moyo wa wophunzira amene nthaŵi zonse amagonjetsa.
Mulungu atipatse chisomo chomwe nthawi zonse tinganene kuti Ayi tikayesedwa, ndiye kuti tidzakumana ndi kuti moyo Wake ukuwonekera kwambiri mwa ife.
