Kupulumutsa Anthu Gawo 6: Kumvetsetsa Chikondi cha Mulungu

Mu vidiyo yapitayi ya mpambo uno wakuti “Kupulumutsa Anthu, Gawo 5: Kodi Tingaimbe Mlandu Mulungu Chifukwa cha Zowawa, Zowawa, ndi Masautso Athu?” Ndinanena kuti tiyamba phunziro lathu lokhudza chipulumutso cha anthu pobwerera ku chiyambi ndikugwira ntchito patsogolo kuchokera pamenepo. Chiyambi chimenecho chinali, m’maganizo mwanga, Genesis 3:15 , umene uli ulosi woyamba m’Baibulo wonena za mibadwo ya anthu kapena mbewu zimene zidzamenyana wina ndi mnzake m’nthaŵi yonse kufikira pamene mbewu kapena mbewu ya mkaziyo pomalizira pake idzagonjetsa njoka ndi mbewu yake.

“Ndipo ndidzaika udani pakati pa iwe ndi mkaziyo, ndi pakati pa mbewu yako ndi mbewu yake; iye adzaphwanya mutu wako, ndipo iwe udzalalira chidendene chake.” ( Genesis 3:15 Baibulo la Dziko Latsopano )

Komabe, tsopano ndazindikira kuti sindinabwererenso patali. Kuti timvetse bwino zinthu zonse zokhudza chipulumutso cha anthu, tiyenera kubwerera ku chiyambi cha nthawi, kulengedwa kwa chilengedwe.

Pa Genesis 1:1 Baibulo limanena kuti pachiyambi Mulungu analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi. Funso lomwe munthu samva aliyense akufunsa ndilakuti: Chifukwa chiyani?

N’cifukwa ciani Mulungu analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi? Chilichonse chomwe iwe ndi ine timachita, timachita pa chifukwa. Kaya tikukamba za zinthu zing’onozing’ono monga kutsuka m’mano ndi kupesa tsitsi lathu, kapena zosankha zazikulu monga kuyamba banja kapena kugula nyumba, zilizonse zimene timacita, timacita pazifukwa. Chinachake chimatilimbikitsa. Ngati sitingathe kumvetsa chimene chinasonkhezera Mulungu kulenga zinthu zonse kuphatikizapo mtundu wa anthu, tidzafika polingalira zolakwika pamene tiyesa kufotokoza mmene Mulungu amachitira ndi anthu. Koma sikuti timangofuna kuti tifufuze zolinga za Mulungu, komanso zathu. Ngati tiŵerenga nkhani m’Malemba imene imatiuza za Mulungu kuwononga unyinji wa anthu, monga ngati mngelo amene anapha asilikali a Asuri 186,000 amene anali kuloŵerera m’dziko la Israyeli, kapena kuwononga pafupifupi anthu onse m’Chigumula, tingam’weruze monga woweruza. wankhanza ndi wobwezera. Koma kodi tikuthamangira ku chiweruzo popanda kupereka mpata kwa Mulungu kuti adzifotokoze yekha? Kodi tikusonkhezeredwa ndi chikhumbo chowona mtima chofuna kudziŵa chowonadi, kapena kodi tikuyang’ana kulungamitsa njira ya moyo imene sikudalira konse kukhalako kwa Mulungu? Kuweruza wina molakwika kungatichititse kudziona kuti ndife abwino, koma kodi ndi chilungamo?

Woweruza wolungama amamvetsera zonse asanapereke chiweruzo. Sitiyenera kumvetsetsa zomwe zidachitika, komanso chifukwa chake zidachitika, ndipo tikafika pa "chifukwa chiyani?", timafika pacholinga. Kotero, tiyeni tiyambe ndi izo.

Ophunzira Baibulo angakuuzeni zimenezo Mulungu ndiye chikondi, chifukwa amatiululira zimenezi pa 1 Yohane 4:8 , m’buku limodzi lomaliza la Baibulo lolembedwa, chakumapeto kwa zaka za zana loyamba. Mwina mungadabwe kuti n’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu sanatiuze zimenezi m’buku loyamba la m’Baibulo, zaka pafupifupi 1600 Yohane asanalembe kalata yake. N’cifukwa ciani tiyenela kuyembekezela mpaka mapeto kuti tionetse mbali yofunika imeneyi ya umunthu Wake? M’malo mwake, kuyambira pa kulengedwa kwa Adamu kufikira pa kufika kwa Kristu, zikuwoneka kuti palibe chochitika cholembedwa pamene Yehova Mulungu amauza anthu kuti “Iye ndiye chikondi”.

Ndili ndi lingaliro la chifukwa chake Atate wathu wakumwamba anadikira mpaka mapeto a zolembedwa zouziridwa kuti awulule mbali yofunika imeneyi ya umunthu wake. Mwachidule, tinali tisanakonzekere. Mpaka pano, ndaona ophunzira Baibulo akhama akukayikira chikondi cha Mulungu, kusonyeza kuti sadziwa bwinobwino chikondi Chake. Iwo amaganiza kuti kukhala wachikondi n’chimodzimodzi ndi kukhala wabwino. Kwa iwo, chikondi chimatanthauza kusanena kuti wapepesa, chifukwa ngati uli wachikondi, sudzachita chilichonse chokhumudwitsa aliyense. Zikuonekanso kuti kwa ena, chilichonse chimayenda m’dzina la Mulungu, komanso kuti tikhoza kukhulupirira chilichonse chimene tingafune chifukwa “timakonda” ena ndipo iwonso “amatikonda”.

Chimenecho si chikondi.

Pali mawu anayi m’Chigiriki amene angamasuliridwe kuti “chikondi” m’chinenero chathu ndipo atatu mwa mawu anayi amenewa amapezeka m’Baibulo. Timakamba za kugwa m'chikondi ndi kupanga chikondi ndipo apa tikukamba za chikondi chogonana. M’Chigiriki, liwu limenelo ndi eros kumene timapeza mawu oti "zolaula". Mwachionekere amenewo sindiwo mawu amene Mulungu anagwiritsa ntchito pa 1 Yohane 4:8 . Chotsatira ife tiri nacho storgē, chimene chimanena makamaka za chikondi cha m’banja, chikondi cha Atate kwa mwana wamwamuna, kapena mwana wamkazi kwa amayi ake. Liwu lachitatu lachigiriki lotanthauza chikondi ndi philia zomwe zikutanthauza chikondi chapakati pa mabwenzi. Awa ndi mawu achikondi, ndipo timawalingalira ponena za anthu enieni kukhala zinthu zapadera za chikondi chathu chaumwini ndi chisamaliro.

Mawu atatu ameneŵa sapezeka kwenikweni m’Malemba Achikristu. Pamenepo, eros sizipezeka konse m’Baibulo paliponse. Komabe m'mabuku akale achi Greek, mawu atatu awa achikondi, eros, storgē, ndi philia zambiri ngakhale kuti palibe imodzi mwa izo imene ikukula mokwanira kuti igwirizane ndi kutalika, m’lifupi, ndi kuya kwa chikondi Chachikristu. Paulo akufotokoza motere:

Pamenepo inu, ozika mizu ndi okhazikika m’chikondi, mudzakhala nayo mphamvu, pamodzi ndi oyera mtima onse, yakuzindikira utali, ndi kupingasa, ndi kukwera, ndi kuya kwa chikondi cha Kristu, ndi kuzindikira chikondi ichi chakuposa chidziwitso, kuti mudzazidwe. ndi chidzalo chonse cha Mulungu. (Ŵelengani Aefeso 3:17-19.)

Mwaona, Mkristu ayenera kutsanzira Yesu Kristu, yemwe ali chifaniziro changwiro cha Atate wake, Yehova Mulungu, monga momwe Malemba awa akusonyezera:

Iye ndiye chifaniziro cha Mulungu wosaonekayo, woyamba kubadwa wa chilengedwe chonse. ( Akolose 1:15 ) Baibulo la Dziko Latsopano

Mwana ndiye kunyezimira kwa ulemerero wa Mulungu ndi chifaniziro chenicheni cha chikhalidwe Chake, wakugwirizira zonse ndi mawu ake amphamvu… (Ahebri 1:3)

Popeza Mulungu ndiye chikondi, ndiye kuti Yesu ndiye chikondi, kutanthauza kuti tiyenera kuyesetsa kukhala chikondi. Kodi timachita bwanji zimenezi ndipo tingaphunzire chiyani pa mmene chikondi cha Mulungu chilili?

Kuti tiyankhe funsoli, tiyenera kuyang’ana liwu lachinayi lachigiriki lotanthauza chikondi: agapē. Liwu limeneli silipezeka kwenikweni m’mabuku akale Achigiriki, komabe limaposa kwambiri mawu ena atatu Achigiriki a chikondi m’Malemba Achikristu, amene amapezeka nthaŵi zoposa 120 monga dzina ndipo nthaŵi zoposa 130 monga mneni.

N’chifukwa chiyani Yesu anagwiritsa ntchito mawu achigiriki amene sankagwiritsidwa ntchito kawirikawiri? pansi, kusonyeza makhalidwe apamwamba kwambiri achikristu? N’chifukwa chiyani mawu amene Yohane anagwiritsa ntchito polemba kuti, “Mulungu ndiye chikondi” (ndi Theos agapē estin)?

Chifukwa chake tingachifotokoze bwino lomwe mwa kupenda mawu a Yesu olembedwa pa Mateyu chaputala 5 :

“Munamva kuti kunanenedwa, Chikondi,agapeseisndi mnzako ndi 'kuda mdani wako.' Koma ndikukuuzani, chikondi (kukalambaadani anu, ndi kupempherera iwo akuzunza inu, kuti mukakhale ana a Atate wanu wa Kumwamba. Amakwezera dzuŵa lake pa oipa ndi pa abwino, amabvumbitsira mvula pa olungama ndi pa osalungama. Ngati mumakonda (agapēsēte) amene amakonda (agapontas) inu, mudzalandira mphotho yanji? Kodi ngakhale amisonkho sachita chomwecho? Ndipo ngati mupatsa moni abale anu okha, muchitanji choposa ena? Kodi angakhale amitundu sachita chomwecho?

Chifukwa chake khalani angwiro, monga Atate wanu wa Kumwamba ali wangwiro.” ( Mateyu 5:43-48 ) Berean Study Bible.

Si zachibadwa kwa ife kukonda adani athu, anthu amene amatida ndipo amafuna kutiona tikuchoka padziko lapansi. Chikondi chimene Yesu amalankhula pano sichichokera mu mtima, koma maganizo. Ndi chotulukapo cha chifuniro cha munthu. Izi sizikutanthauza kuti palibe kutengeka kumbuyo kwa chikondi ichi, koma kutengeka mtima sikumayendetsa. Ichi ndi chikondi cholamuliridwa, chotsogozedwa ndi mtima wophunzitsidwa kuchita zinthu mwachidziŵitso ndi nzeru nthaŵi zonse kufunafuna ubwino wa winayo, monga momwe Paulo akunenera:

“Musachite chilichonse ndi mtima wodzikonda, kapena chifukwa chodzikuza, koma modzichepetsa ndi kuona ena kukhala ofunika kuposa inuyo. Aliyense wa inu asapenyerere zake za iye yekha, koma yense apenyererenso za mnzake. (Ŵelengani Afilipi 2:3,4, XNUMX.)

Kutanthauzira agapē m’mawu amodzi achidule akuti, “Ndi chikondi chimene nthaŵi zonse chimafunafuna phindu lalikulu kwa wokondedwayo.” Tiyenera kukonda adani athu, osati mwa kuwathandiza m’njira yolakwika, koma kuyesetsa kupeza njira zowachotsera njira yoipayo. Izi zikutanthauza kuti agapē kaŵirikaŵiri amatisonkhezera kuchitira ena zabwino mosasamala kanthu za iwo eni. Angawonenso zochita zathu kukhala zaudani ndi zachinyengo, ngakhale kuti m’kupita kwa nthaŵi zabwino zidzapambana.

Mwachitsanzo, ndisanasiye Mboni za Yehova, ndinalankhula ndi anzanga angapo apamtima za choonadi chimene ndinaphunzira. Izi zinawakwiyitsa. Iwo ankakhulupirira kuti ndinali wopandukira chikhulupiriro changa ndi Yehova Mulungu wanga. Iwo ananena kuti ndinkafuna kuwakhumudwitsa mwa kufooketsa chikhulupiriro chawo. Pamene ndinawachenjeza za chiwopsezo chimene anali nacho, ndi kuti anali kuphonya mwai weniweni wa chipulumutso choperekedwa kwa Ana a Mulungu, udani wawo unakula. M’kupita kwa nthaŵi, mogwirizana ndi malamulo a Bungwe Lolamulira, iwo momvera anandidula. Anzanga adakakamizika kundipewa, zomwe adachita motsatira kuphunzitsidwa kwa JW, poganiza kuti akuchita chifukwa cha chikondi, ngakhale Yesu adanenanso momveka bwino kuti ife monga akhristu tiyenerabe kukonda aliyense yemwe timamuwona (wabodza kapena ayi) ngati mdani. Zachidziwikire, amaphunzitsidwa kuganiza kuti pondikana, atha kundibwezera ku khola la JW. Sanaone kuti zochita zawozo zinalidi zachipongwe. M’malomwake, n’zomvetsa chisoni kuti anali ndi chikhulupiriro chakuti akuchita zimenezi chifukwa cha chikondi.

Izi zikutifikitsa pa mfundo yofunika kwambiri imene tiyenera kuiganizira agapē. Liwu lenilenilo silinakhudzidwe ndi khalidwe linalake lachibadwa. Mwanjira ina, agapē si mtundu wabwino wa chikondi, kapena mtundu woipa wa chikondi. Ndi chikondi basi. Chomwe chimaipanga kukhala chabwino kapena choipa ndi njira yake. Kuti muwonetse zomwe ndikutanthauza, lingalirani ndime iyi:

“…kwa Dema, chifukwa anakonda (agapēsas) dziko lino landisiya ndi kupita ku Tesalonika.” (2 Timoteyo 4:10)

Izi zimamasulira mneni mawonekedwe a agapē, chomwe chiri agapaó, “kukonda”. Pa chifukwa china, Dema anamusiya Paulo. Maganizo ake ankaganiza kuti angapeze zimene ankafuna m’dzikoli posiya Paulo. Chikondi chake chinali kwa iyemwini. Unali ukubwera, osati wotuluka; kwa ine ndekha, osati kwa ena, osati kwa Paulo, kapena kwa Khristu mu nthawi iyi. Ngati wathu agapē imalunjikitsidwa mkati; ngati zili zodzikonda, ndiye kuti pamapeto pake zidzadzipweteka tokha, ngakhale titakhala ndi phindu kwakanthawi kochepa. Ngati wathu agapē ili lopanda dyera, lolunjika kwa ena, pamenepo lidzapindula iwo ndi ife, chifukwa sitichita mongofuna kudzikonda, koma m’malo mwake, timaika zofuna za ena patsogolo. N’chifukwa chake Yesu anatiuza kuti: “Chifukwa chake khalani angwiro, monga Atate wanu wa Kumwamba ali wangwiro.” ( Mateyu 5:48 ) Berean Study Bible.

M’Chigiriki, liwu lakuti “ungwiro” apa ndi teleio, zomwe sizikutanthauza opanda uchimokoma wathunthu. Kuti tifike ku kukwanira kwa makhalidwe achikristu, tiyenera kukonda mabwenzi athu ndi adani athu omwe, monga mmene Yesu anatiphunzitsira pa Mateyu 5:43-48 . Tiyenera kufunafuna zabwino kwa ife, osati kwa ena okha, osati kwa okhawo amene angatichitire zabwino, kunena kwake titero.

Pamene phunziro ili m’mpambo wathu Wopulumutsa Anthu likupitirira, tipenda zina mwa zochita za Yehova Mulungu ndi anthu zimene zingaoneke ngati zachikondi. Mwachitsanzo, kodi ndimotani mmene kuwonongedwa kwa moto kwa Sodomu ndi Gomora kukakhala kuchita kwachikondi? Kodi kusandutsa mkazi wa Loti kukhala mwala wa mchere kukanaoneka bwanji ngati chikondi? Ngati tikufunadi chowonadi osati kungoyang'ana chifukwa chonenera kuti Baibulo ndi nthano chabe, tiyenera kumvetsetsa tanthauzo la kunena kuti Mulungu ndi nthano. agapē, chikondi.

Tidzayesa kutero pamene mpambo wa mavidiyowa ukupita patsogolo, koma tingayambe bwino mwa kudziyang’ana tokha. Baibulo limaphunzitsa kuti anthu poyambirira analengedwa m’chifaniziro cha Mulungu, monga mmene Yesu analengedwera.

Popeza Mulungu ndiye chikondi, mwachibadwa tili ndi mphamvu yokonda monga mmene iye amakondera. Paulo anathirira ndemanga pa zimenezo pa Aroma 2:14 ndi 15 pamene anati:

“Ngakhale anthu a mitundu ina, amene alibe chilamulo cholembedwa cha Mulungu, amasonyeza kuti amadziwa chilamulo chake pamene mwachibadwa amachitsatira, ngakhale asanamve. Amasonyeza kuti chilamulo cha Mulungu chinalembedwa m’mitima yawo, pakuti chikumbumtima chawo ndi maganizo awo zimawatsutsa kapena kuwawuza kuti akuchita zabwino.” ( Aroma 2:14, 15 ) Baibulo la New Living Translation.

Ngati tingamvetse bwino mmene chikondi cha agapē chimachitikira mwachibadwa (mwa ife tokha mwa kupangidwa m’chifaniziro cha Mulungu) kungatithandize kwambiri kumvetsa Yehova Mulungu. Sichoncho?

Choyamba, tiyenera kuzindikira kuti ngakhale kuti tili ndi mphamvu yobadwa nayo ya chikondi chaumulungu monga anthu, sichimadza kwa ife chifukwa chakuti tinabadwa monga ana a Adamu ndipo tinatengera chibadwa cha chikondi chadyera. Ndithudi, kufikira titakhala ana a Mulungu, ndife ana a Adamu ndipo chotero, nkhaŵa yathu ndi ya ife eni. “Ine…ine…ine,” ndiko kunena kwa mwana wamng’ono ndipo nthawi zambiri munthu wamkulu. Pofuna kukulitsa ungwiro kapena kukwanira kwa agapē, timafunikira chinachake kunja kwa ife eni. Sitingathe kuchita tokha. Tili ngati chiwiya chimene chimatha kunyamula zinthu zina, koma ndi chinthu chimene timasunga chimene chingasonyeze ngati ndife ziwiya zolemekezeka kapena zonyozeka.

Paulo akusonyeza zimenezi pa 2 Akorinto 4:7:

Tsopano tili ndi kuunikaku kukuwala m’mitima yathu, koma ife tokha tili ngati mitsuko yadothi yosalimba imene ili ndi chuma chachikulu chimenechi. Pyenepi pisapangiza pakweca kuti mphambvu zathu zikulu zibuluka kwa Mulungu, tayu kwa ife tayu. ( 2 Akorinto 4:7 , New Living Translation )

Zimene ndikunena n’zakuti, kuti tikhale angwiro m’chikondi monga momwe Atate wathu wakumwamba alili wangwiro m’chikondi, anthufe timafunikira mzimu wa Mulungu. Paulo anauza Agalatiya kuti:

“Koma chipatso cha Mzimu ndicho chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, chifundo, kukoma mtima, chikhulupiriro, chifatso, chiletso; pokana zinthu zotere palibe lamulo. ( Agalatiya 5:22, 23 ) Berean Literal Bible.

Ndinkaganiza kuti mikhalidwe isanu ndi inayi imeneyi ndi zipatso za mzimu woyera, koma Paulo amalankhula za zipatso (umodzi) wa mzimu. Baibulo limanena kuti Mulungu ndi chikondi, koma silimanena kuti Mulungu ndi chimwemwe kapena kuti Mulungu ndi mtendere. Kutengera ndi nkhani yake, Baibulo la Passion Bible limamasulira mavesiwa motere:

Koma chipatso chobala mwa Mzimu Woyera mwa inu ndicho chikondi chaumulungu m’mawu ake osiyanasiyana:

chisangalalo chosefukira,

mtendere umene ukugonjetsa,

chipiriro chopirira,

kukoma mtima pochita,

moyo wodzaza ndi ukoma,

chikhulupiriro chimene chimapambana,

kufatsa kwa mtima, ndi

mphamvu ya mzimu.

Osayika lamulo pamwamba pa mikhalidwe iyi, chifukwa imayenera kukhala yopanda malire…

Makhalidwe asanu ndi atatu onsewa ndi mbali kapena njira zosonyezera chikondi. Mzimu woyera udzabala mwa Mkristu, Chikondi Chaumulungu. Ndiko kuti agapē chikondi chochokera kunja, chopindulitsa ena.

Chotero, chipatso cha mzimu ndicho chikondi,

Joy (chikondi chomwe chili chosangalatsa)

Mtendere (chikondi chodekha)

Kuleza mtima (chikondi chomwe chimapirira, sichimataya mtima)

Kukoma mtima (chikondi choganizira ena ndi chachifundo)

Ubwino (chikondi popuma, khalidwe lamkati la chikondi mu khalidwe la munthuyo)

Kukhulupirika (chikondi chimene chimayang'ana ndi kukhulupirira ubwino wa ena)

Kudekha (chikondi chomwe chimayesedwa, nthawi zonse kuchuluka koyenera, kukhudza koyenera)

Kudziletsa (Chikondi chimene chimalamulira zochita zilizonse. Umenewu ndi khalidwe lachifumu la chikondi, chifukwa munthu amene ali ndi mphamvu ayenera kudziwa kulamulira kuti asavulaze.)

Mkhalidwe wopanda malire wa Yehova Mulungu umatanthauza kuti chikondi chake m’mbali zonsezi kapena m’mawu ake chilinso chosatha. Pamene tiyamba kupenda mmene iye amachitira ndi anthu ndi angelo mofananamo, tidzaphunzira mmene chikondi chake chimalongosolera mbali zonse za Baibulo zimene zimaoneka kukhala zosagwirizana ndi ife poyamba, ndipo potero, tidzaphunzira mmene tingakulitsire bwino miyoyo yathu. chipatso chake cha mzimu. Kumvetsetsa chikondi cha Mulungu ndi momwe chimagwirira ntchito nthawi zonse (ndiwo mawu ofunikira, omaliza) phindu la aliyense wofunitsitsa kudzatithandiza kumvetsetsa ndime iliyonse yovuta ya Lemba yomwe tikambirana m'mavidiyo otsatirawa.

Zikomo chifukwa cha nthawi yanu komanso kupitirizabe kuthandizira ntchitoyi.
