“Kumbukirani kuti nthawi imene inu munali opanda Khristu, simunkawerengedwa ngati nzika za Israeli ndipo munali alendo pa pangano la lonjezo, opanda chiyembekezo ndi opanda Mulungu m’dziko lapansi.” Aefeso 2:12.
Anthu a Israyeli anali ndi pangano, kapena mgwirizano, ndi Mulungu, ndipo panganoli linawapatsa malonjezo ambiri odabwitsa. Koma ngati sanali okhulupirika ndipo sanasunge gawo lawo la panganolo, ankalangidwa ndi kuwongoleredwa. Pa Phiri la Sinai, Mulungu anawapatsa malamulo oti asunge.
Mtundu watsopano wa pangano ndi Mulungu ukupangidwa
Pamene Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi, anati, “Simunafune nsembe kapena zopereka, koma thupi munandikonzera. Simunakondwere nazo nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo. Tsono, Ine ndinati, ‘Ndili pano Ine, Inu Mulungu, ndabwera kudzachita zimene mukufuna monga zinalembedwa M'malemba.’” Ahebri 10:5-7.
Ili linali pangano limene Yesu anapanga ndi Atate Ake. Silinali lokhudza kusunga malamulo ena chabe, koma lokhudza kuchita chifuniro cha Atate m’zinthu zonse. Iye anayenera kudzipereka nsembe kuti aphunzire kumvera (Ahebri 5:8; Ahebri 9:14). Anayenera kusiya chifuniro Chake; anayenera kufa kuti achite chifuniro cha Atate (Yohane 6:38), ndipo Mulungu anaukitsa Yesu, Mbusa wathu wamkulu, kuchokera kwa akufa kudzera m’magazi a pangano losatha (Ahebri 13:20). Malonjezo a pangano limeneli ndi aakulu kwambiri kuposa malonjezo a pangano lakale.
Mulungu sakanatha kupanga pangano latsopanoli ndi mtundu wonse, koma Yesu akunena kuti, “Nkhosa Zanga zimamva mawu Anga, ndipo Ine ndimazidziwa, ndipo zimanditsata Ine.” Yohane 10:27. Izi si za Ayuda okha, koma kudzera mu kulalikira uthenga wabwino wa Khristu, nkhosa zimenezi zimasonkhanitsidwa kuchokera pakati pa anthu onse ndi mitundu yonse. Yesu anati, “Ndipo zimanditsata Ine.” Amalowa m’pangano lomwelo monga Yesu.
Tikabatizidwa, timachitira umboni kuti talowa m’pangano lomwelo ndi Yesu. “Kodi simukudziwa kuti tonse amene tinabatizidwa mwa Khristu Yesu tinabatizidwa mu imfa yake?” Aroma 6:3. Imeneyi ndi imfa ku chifuniro chathu, kuti tikhale ndi moyo watsopano motsatira chifuniro cha Atate, monga momwe Yesu anachitira. Kenako Yesu amakhala Mbusa wathu, ndipo tidzagawana nawo mwazi womwewo wa pangano. Izi zimatipatsanso ufulu woukitsidwa kwa akufa, ndiko kuti, kukwatulidwa pamene tidzakumana ndi Yesu m’mitambo (Aroma 6:4-5; Atesalonika 4:16-17).
Malonjezo a pangano
Malonjezo onse a pangano adzakwaniritsidwa mwa ife ngati tili okhulupirika ku panganolo—tili ndi ufulu wowalandira. Werengani za iwo, ndipo zidzakusangalatsani mtima ngati mukhulupirira. Choyamba, simuyeneranso kuda nkhawa ndi zosowa zanu za padziko lapansi; zinthu zimene mukufuna zidzapatsidwa kwa inu ngati muchita chifuniro cha Mulungu (Mateyu 6:31-34).
Mudzagawananso nawo mu chikhalidwe cha umulungu ndi kuthawa chivundi chimene chili m’dziko lapansi (2 Petro 1:4). Mudzakhala wolowa m'cholowa cha Mulungu ndipo mudzalemekezedwa pamodzi ndi Yesu (Aroma 8:17). Mudzakhala ndi Yesu pampando Wake wachifumu, monga mmene Iye anakhalira pansi ndi Atate Wake pampando Wawo wachifumu (Chivumbulutso 3:21). Tikhoza kupitiriza kunena zambiri motere. “... palibe diso linaona, palibe khutu linamva, palibe amene anaganizira, zimene Mulungu anakonzera amene amukonda.” 1 Akorinto 2:9.
Amene amamukonda Iye ndi amene amasunga malamulo Ake (Yohane 14:15). Iwo ndi okhulupirika m’pangano monga momwe Mbusa wamkulu wa nkhosa analili, ndipo adzakhala pamodzi ndi Iye mu ulemerero (2 Timoteyo 2:11-12).
