Kodi Tiyenera Kusunga Sabata Kuti Tipulumutsidwe?

Malinga ndi a Seventh-day Adventists, chipembedzo cha anthu opitilira 14 miliyoni, komanso anthu ngati a Mark Martin, yemwe kale anali wolimbikitsa za JW kupita mlaliki wa Evangelical, sitingapulumutsidwe ngati sitisunga Sabata - zomwe zikutanthauza kuti “ntchito” Loweruka (malinga ndi kalendala yachiyuda).

N’zoona kuti nthawi zambiri anthu amasabata amanena kuti tsiku la Sabata linayamba Chilamulo cha Mose ndipo linakhazikitsidwa pa nthawi ya kulengedwa kwa zinthu. Ngati izi ziri choncho, ndiye chifukwa chiyani Sabata la Loweruka molingana ndi kalendala ya Chiyuda limalalikidwa ndi a Sabata? Ndithudi pa nthawi ya chilengedwe panalibe kalendala yopangidwa ndi munthu.

Ngati mfundo ya kukhala mu mpumulo wa Mulungu ikugwira ntchito m’mitima ndi m’maganizo a Akristu owona, pamenepo ndithudi, Akristu oterowo amazindikira kuti timayesedwa olungama ndi chikhulupiriro chathu, mwa mzimu woyera, osati ndi zoyesayesa zathu zobwerezabwereza, zopanda pake. Aroma 8:9,10, 2). Ndipo, ndithudi, tiyenera kukumbukira kuti ana a Mulungu ali anthu auzimu, olengedwa atsopano, ( 5 Akorinto 17:XNUMX ) amene apeza ufulu mwa Kristu; kumasulidwa osati ku ukapolo wa uchimo ndi imfa wokha, komanso ku NTCHITO zonse zimene amachita kuti atetezere machimowo. Mtumwi Paulo anagogomezera zimenezi pamene ananena kuti ngati tikuyeserabe kupeza chipulumutso ndi chiyanjanitso kwa Mulungu mwa ntchito zobwerezabwereza zimene timaganiza kuti zimatipanga kukhala oyenera (monga mmene Akristu amatsatira Chilamulo cha Mose kapena kuŵerenga maola mu utumiki wakumunda) olekanitsidwa ndi Khristu ndipo agwa kuchoka ku chisomo.

“Ndi chifukwa cha ufulu umene Khristu anatimasula. Chifukwa chake chirimikani, ndipo musakodwenso ndi goli laukapolo…Inu amene muyesedwa olungama ndi lamulo, mudalekanitsidwa kwa Khristu; mwagwa kuchoka ku chisomo. Koma ndi chikhulupiriro, mwa Mzimu, tilindirira chiyembekezo cha chilungamo. (Ŵelengani Agalatiya 5:1,4,5, XNUMX, XNUMX.)

Awa ndi mawu amphamvu! Musanyengedwe ndi ziphunzitso za a Sabata kapena mudzalekanitsidwa ndi Khristu. Kwa inu amene mwina mukusokeretsedwa ndi lingaliro lakuti muyenera “kupuma,” muyenera kusunga Lachisanu mpaka Loweruka Sabata loikidwa ndi malire kuyambira pakuloŵa kwa dzuŵa mpaka kuloŵa kwa dzuŵa kapena mudzayang’anizana ndi chotulukapo cha kulandira chizindikiro cha chilombo (kapena zamkhutu zina zotero) ndipo chotero chidzawonongedwa pa Armagedo, puma mozama. Tiyeni tikambirane mozama kuchokera m'malemba popanda kukondera koyambirira ndikukambirana izi momveka.

Choyamba, ngati kusunga Sabata ndiko kuyenera kwa kuphatikizidwa m’kuukitsidwa kwa olungama pamodzi ndi Yesu Kristu, ndiye kuti mbali yaikulu ya mbiri yabwino ya Ufumu wa Mulungu imene Yesu ndi atumwi ake analalikira sikanatchulapo? Ngati tikanadziwa bwanji ife Amitundu? Ndi iko komwe, Akunja sakanakhala ndi lingaliro lochepa la kusunga Sabata kapena kutanganidwa kwambiri ndi kusunga Sabata ndi tanthauzo lake mosiyana ndi Ayuda amene anali kutsatira monga mbali yofunika ya Chilamulo cha Mose kwa zaka zoposa 1,500. Popanda Chilamulo cha Mose cholamulira zimene zingachitike ndi zimene sizingachitidwe pa Sabata, Osunga Sabata amakono ayenera kupanga malamulo awoawo atsopano ponena za “ntchito” ndi “kupuma” chifukwa Baibulo silipereka malamulo alionse mwanjira imeneyo. . Mwa kusagwira ntchito (Kodi sadzanyamula mphasa yawo?) amasunga ganizo lokhalabe mu mpumulo wa Mulungu kukhala lingaliro lakuthupi osati lauzimu. Tisagwere mumsampha umenewo koma tikumbukire ndipo tisaiwale kuti takhala olungama pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chathu mwa Khristu, osati ndi ntchito zathu. “Koma ndi chikhulupiriro tiyembekezera mwa Mzimu chiyembekezo cha chilungamo.” ( Agalatiya 5:5 )

Ndikudziwa kuti n’kovuta kwambiri kwa amene atuluka m’zipembedzo zolinganizidwa kuti aone kuti ntchito si njira yopita kumwamba, kukatumikira limodzi ndi Kristu mu Ufumu wake Waumesiya. Malemba amatiuza kuti chipulumutso si mphotho ya ntchito zabwino zomwe tachita, kotero palibe aliyense wa ife amene angadzitamande ( Aefeso 2:9 ). Zoonadi, Akhristu okhwima amadziwa kwambiri kuti ndife anthu akuthupi ndipo timachita zinthu mogwirizana ndi chikhulupiriro chathu monga Yakobo analemba:

“Iwe wopusa iwe, kodi ufuna umboni kuti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito chilichabe? Kodi Abrahamu atate wathu sanalungamitsidwe ndi zimene anachita pamene anapereka mwana wake Isake nsembe pa guwa la nsembe? Waona kuti chikhulupiriro chake chinagwira ntchito limodzi ndi ntchito zake, ndipo chikhulupiriro chake chinakhala changwiro ndi ntchito zake. (Yakobo 2:20-22 KJV)

N’zoona kuti Afarisi amene ankazunza Yesu ndi ophunzira ake chifukwa chothyola ngala za tirigu n’kumadya pa Sabata, ankadzitama chifukwa chakuti analibe chikhulupiriro. Ndi zinthu zina monga magulu 39 a ntchito zoletsedwa za Sabata, kuphatikizapo kutola tirigu kuti athetse njala, chipembedzo chawo chinali chotanganidwa ndi ntchito. Yesu analabadira ku chizunzo chawo mwa kuyesa kuwathandiza kumvetsetsa kuti iwo anakhazikitsa dongosolo lopondereza ndi la malamulo a Sabata limene linalibe chifundo ndi chilungamo. Iye anakambitsirana nawo, monga momwe tikuonera pa Marko 2:27 , kuti “sabata linapangidwira munthu, si munthu chifukwa cha Sabata.” Monga Mbuye wa Sabata ( Mateyu 12:8; Marko 2:28; Luka 6:5 ) Yesu anadza kudzaphunzitsa kuti tingazindikire kuti sitifunikira kugwira ntchito kuti tipeze chipulumutso chathu mwa ntchito, koma mwa chikhulupiriro.

“Inu nonse muli ana a Mulungu mwa chikhulupiriro cha mwa Khristu Yesu.” ( Agalatiya 3:26 )

Pambuyo pake Yesu atauza Afarisi kuti Ufumu wa Mulungu udzachotsedwa kwa Aisrayeli n’kuperekedwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina, amene adzabala zipatso zake pa Mateyu 21:43 , iye anali kunena kuti Akunja ndiwo adzapindula. Chiyanjo cha Mulungu. Ndipo iwo anali anthu ochuluka kwambiri kuposa Aisrayeli, sichoncho!? Choncho, ngati kusunga Sabata kunali (ndipo kukupitirizabe) chinthu chofunika kwambiri cha uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndiye kuti tikanayembekezera kuona malangizo a m’Malemba ochuluka olamula Akhristu amitundu ina amene angotembenuka kumene kuti azisunga Sabata. si ife?

Komabe, ngati mungafufuze m'malemba achikhristu mukuyang'ana nthawi yomwe Amitundu amalamulidwa kusunga Sabata, simudzapeza ngakhale limodzi - osati mu ulaliki wa pa phiri, osati mu ziphunzitso za Yesu kulikonse, osati mu buku la Machitidwe a Atumwi. Zimene timaona m’buku la Machitidwe n’zakuti atumwi ndi ophunzira ankalalikira m’masunagoge pa tsiku la Sabata kuti akhulupirire Yesu Khristu. Tiyeni tiwerenge zina mwa zochitika izi:

“Monga anali chizolowezi chake, Paulo analowa m’sunagoge, ndipo pa masabata atatu anakambirana nawo za m’Malemba. kufotokoza ndi kutsimikizira kuti Khristu adayenera kumva zowawa ndi kuwuka kwa akufa.” ( Machitidwe 17:2,3, XNUMX )

“Ndipo pochokera ku Pega, analowa m’kati mwa dziko kufikira ku Antiokeya wa Pisidiya, kumene analowa m’sunagoge pa tsiku la sabata, nakhala pansi. Atawerenga Chilamulo ndi Zolemba za aneneri, atsogoleri a sunagoge anatumiza mawu kwa iwo: “Abale, ngati muli ndi mawu olimbikitsa kwa anthu, chonde lankhulani.” (Machitidwe 13: 14,15)

“Masabata onse anatsutsana m’sunagoge, nakotsa Ayuda ndi Ahelene. Ndipo pamene Sila ndi Timoteo anatsika ku Makedoniya. Paulo anadzipereka yekha ku mawu, nachitira umboni kwa Ayuda kuti Yesu ndiye Khristu.” ( Machitidwe 18:4,5, XNUMX )

Masabata adzasonyeza kuti malembawo amanena kuti iwo anali kulambira pa Sabata. Ndithudi Ayuda amene sanali Akristu anali kulambira pa Sabata. Paulo anali kulalikila kwa Ayuda amene anali kusunga sabata cifukwa linali tsiku limene anasonkhana pamodzi. Tsiku lililonse ankayenera kugwira ntchito.

Mfundo ina yofunika kuiganizira n’njakuti tikamaona zimene Paulo analemba, timamuona akuthera nthawi yochuluka ndi khama kuphunzitsa kusiyana pakati pa anthu akuthupi ndi auzimu pomvetsetsa kusiyana kwa Pangano la Chilamulo ndi Pangano Latsopano. Iye amalimbikitsa ana a Mulungu kumvetsetsa kuti iwo, monga ana otengedwa kukhala ana otengedwa kukhala ana a makono, amatsogozedwa ndi mzimu, ophunzitsidwa ndi mzimu woyera osati ndi mpambo wa malamulo ndi malangizo olembedwa, kapena ndi anthu​—monga Afarisi, alembi, “atumwi oposatu” kapena Olamulira. Ziwalo za thupi (2 Akorinto 11:5; 1 Yohane 2:26,27).

“Ife sitinalandira mzimu wa dziko, koma Mzimu wochokera kwa Mulungu, kuti tizindikire chimene Mulungu watipatsa kwaulere. Izi ndi zomwe tilankhula, osati ndi mawu ophunzitsidwa ndi nzeru za anthu, koma ndi mawu ophunzitsidwa ndi Mzimu. kufotokoza zenizeni zauzimu ndi mawu ophunzitsidwa ndi Mzimu.” ( 1 Akorinto 2:12-13 ).

Kusiyanitsa pakati pa zauzimu ndi thupi ndikofunika chifukwa Paulo akulozera kwa Akorinto (ndi tonsefe) kuti pansi pa Pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose Aisrayeli sakanaphunzitsidwa ndi Mzimu chifukwa chikumbumtima chawo sichinayeretsedwe. Pansi pa pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose iwo anali kokha ndi makonzedwe a chitetezero cha machimo awo mobwerezabwereza mwa kupereka nsembe za nyama. M’mawu ena, iwo anagwira ntchito ndi kugwira ntchito ndi kugwira ntchito yotetezera machimo mwa kupereka mwazi wa nyama. Nsembe zimenezo zinali zikumbutso chabe za kukhala ndi chibadwa chauchimo “chifukwa sikutheka kuti mwazi wa ng’ombe zamphongo ndi mbuzi uchotse machimo.” ( Ahebri 10:5 )

Ponena za zochita za mzimu woyera wa Mulungu, wolemba Ahebri ananena izi:

“Mwa dongosolo ili [chotetezera machimo mwa nsembe za nyama] Mzimu Woyera anali kusonyeza kuti njira yolowa m’Malo Opatulikitsa inali isanaululidwe malinga ngati chihema choyamba chinali chikhalire. Ndi fanizo la nthawi ino, chifukwa mphatso ndi nsembe zoperekedwa sizinathe kuyeretsa chikumbumtima cha wolambirayo. Amaphatikizapo zakudya ndi zakumwa ndi zosambitsidwa zapadera zokha—malamulo akunja oikidwa kufikira nthaŵi ya kukonzanso.” ( Ahebri 9:8-10 )

Koma pamene Khristu anabwera, chirichonse chinasintha. Khristu ndiye mkhalapakati wa pangano latsopano. Ngakhale kuti pangano lakale, pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose linkakhoza kuchotsera machimo kudzera mu mwazi wa nyama, mwazi wa Khristu unayeretsedwa kamodzi kokha. chikumbumtima wa onse amene akhulupirira Iye. Izi ndizofunikira kumvetsetsa.

“Pakuti ngati mwazi wa mbuzi ndi ng’ombe zamphongo, ndi mapulusa a ng’ombe yamphongo owaza pa odetsedwa mwalamulo, ziwapatula, kuti akhale oyera; koposa kotani nanga mwazi wa Kristu, amene mwa Mzimu wosatha anadzipereka yekha wopanda chirema kwa Mulungu, udzayeretsa chikumbumtima chathu kuchichotsa ku ntchito za imfa, kuti tikatumikire Mulungu wamoyo!( Ahebri 9:13,14, XNUMX )

Mwachibadwa kusintha kuchokera ku Pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose, ndi malamulo ndi malangizo ake opitilira 600, kupita ku ufulu mwa Khristu kunali kovuta kwa ambiri kumvetsetsa kapena kuvomereza. Ngakhale kuti Mulungu anathetsa Chilamulo cha Mose, lamulo limeneli limakopa maganizo anyama a anthu osakhala auzimu a m’tsiku lathu. Mamembala a zipembedzo zolinganizidwa amasangalala kutsatira malamulo ndi malangizo, monga Afarisi olengedwa m’tsiku lawo, chifukwa anthu ameneŵa safuna kupeza ufulu mwa Kristu. Popeza atsogoleri a mipingo masiku ano sanapeze ufulu mwa Khristu salola wina aliyense kuupeza. Imeneyi ndi maganizo athupi ndipo “mipatuko” ndi “magawano” (zikwizikwi zonse za zipembedzo zolembetsedwa zolengedwa ndi kulinganizidwa ndi anthu) zimatchedwa “ntchito za thupi” ndi Paulo ( Agalatiya 5:19-21 ).

Tikaganizira zimene zinachitika m’nthawi ya atumwi, anthu a “maganizo a thupi” anali adakali m’Chilamulo cha Mose pamene Khristu anabwera kudzakwaniritsa lamuloli, sankamvetsa tanthauzo la mawu akuti Khristu anafa kuti atipulumutse ku ukapolo wa uchimo chifukwa analibe chikhulupiriro. ndi kufuna kumvetsa. Ndiponso, monga umboni wa vuto limeneli, tikuona Paulo akudzudzula Akristu Akunja atsopanowo chifukwa chosonkhezeredwa ndi Ayuda okhulupirira Chiyuda. Olimbikitsa Chiyuda anali “Akristu” Achiyuda amene sanali kutsogozedwa ndi Mzimu chifukwa anaumirira kubwerera ku lamulo lakale la mdulidwe (kutsegula chitseko cha kusunga Chilamulo cha Mose) monga njira yopulumutsira nayo Mulungu. Iwo anaphonya bwato. Paulo anatcha okhulupirira Chiyuda ameneŵa kuti “akazitape.” Iye ananena za azondi ameneŵa amene amalimbikitsa maganizo akuthupi osati auzimu kapena okhulupirika:

“Nkhaniyi idabuka chifukwa kunabwera abale onyenga ndi mabodza onyenga kuti akazonde ufulu wathu mwa Khristu Yesu, kuti atigwire akapolo. Sitinawalole ngakhale pang’ono, kuti chowonadi cha Uthenga Wabwino chikhalebe ndi inu.” ( Agalatiya 2:4,5, XNUMX )

Paulo anamveketsa bwino lomwe kuti okhulupirira owona adzadalira chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Yesu Kristu ndi kutsogozedwa ndi Mzimu osati ndi amuna oyesa kuwabwezera ku ntchito za Chilamulo. M’kukangana kwina kwa Agalatiya Paulo analemba kuti:

“Ndikufuna ndiphunzire kwa inu chinthu chimodzi chokha: Kodi mudalandira Mzimuyo mwa ntchito za lamulo, kapena pakumva ndi chikhulupiriro? Kodi ndinu opusa chonchi? Mutayamba mu Mzimu, kodi tsopano mukutsiriza mu thupi?  Kodi mudamva zowawa zambiri pachabe, ngati zinali chabe? Kodi Mulungu apereka Mzimu Wake pa inu ndi kuchita zozizwitsa pakati panu chifukwa mukuchita chilamulo, kapena chifukwa chakuti mwamva ndi kukhulupirira?” ( Agalatiya 3:3-5 )

Paulo akutionetsa maziko a nkhaniyi. Yesu Kristu anakhomerera malamulo a m’Chilamulo pamtanda ( Akolose 2:14 ) ndipo anafa naye limodzi. Khristu anakwaniritsa chilamulo, koma sanachithetse (Mateyu 5:17). Paulo anafotokoza zimenezi pamene ananena za Yesu kuti: “Chotero anatsutsa uchimo m’thupi, kuti muyezo wolungama wa chilamulo ukwaniritsidwe mwa ife, amene sitiyenda monga mwa thupi, koma monga mwa mzimu.” (Aroma 8: 3,4)

Ndi mmenenso zililinso, ana a Mulungu, Akhristu oona amayenda motsatira Mzimu ndipo sakhudzidwa ndi malamulo achipembedzo ndi malamulo akale amene sakugwiranso ntchito. N’chifukwa chake Paulo anauza Akolose kuti:

“Chifukwa chake munthu asakuweruzeni inu ndi chimene mudya, kapena chakumwa, kapena paphwando, ndi pa tsiku la mwezi watsopano, kapena Sabata.” Akolose 2:13-16

Akristu, kaya anali a mikhalidwe Yachiyuda kapena Akunja, anamvetsetsa kuti kaamba ka ufulu Kristu anatimasula ku ukapolo wa uchimo ndi imfa, ndiponso, motero, miyambo imene imatetezera chibadwa chauchimo kosatha. Zinali mpumulo bwanji! Monga chotulukapo, Paulo anakhoza kunena ku mipingo kuti kukhala mbali ya ufumu wa Mulungu sikunadalire pa kukhazikitsa miyambo yakunja ndi miyambo, koma pa zochita za mzimu woyera zobweretsa munthu ku chilungamo. Paulo anatcha utumiki watsopano, utumiki wa Mzimu.

“Koma ngati utumiki wa imfa, wolembedwa m’malembo pamwala, unadza ndi ulemerero, kotero kuti ana a Israyeli sanathe kuyang’ana pa nkhope ya Mose, chifukwa cha ulemerero wake wosakhalitsa; kodi utumiki wa Mzimu sudzakhala wa ulemerero woposa? Pakuti ngati utumiki wakutsutsa unali wa ulemerero, kuli bwanji utumiki wa chilungamo! (2 Akor. 3: 7-9)

Paulo ananenanso kuti kulowa mu Ufumu wa Mulungu sikudalira mtundu wa chakudya chimene Akhristu amadya kapena kumwa.

“Pakuti ufumu wa Mulungu uli osati nkhani ya kudya ndi kumwa, koma chilungamo, mtendere ndi chimwemwe mwa Mzimu Woyera.” ( Aroma 14:17 ).

Paulo akugogomezera mobwerezabwereza kuti Ufumu wa Mulungu suli wa zochitika zakunja koma kufuna kupempherera mzimu woyera kutisonkhezera ku chilungamo mwa chikhulupiriro chathu mwa Yesu Kristu. Tikuwona mutuwu ukubwerezedwa mobwerezabwereza m'Malemba Achikristu, sichoncho!

Mwatsoka, a Sabata satha kuwona chowonadi cha malembo awa. Mark Martin akunenadi mu umodzi mwa ulaliki wake wotchedwa "Kufuna Kusintha Nthawi ndi Chilamulo" (mmodzi mwa magawo 6 a Hope Prophecy Series) kuti. kusunga tsiku la Sabata kumalekanitsa Akristu oona ndi dziko lonse lapansi, amene angaphatikizepo Akristu onse amene sasunga Sabata. Mawu amenewa ndi opanda pake. Nayi mfundo yake.

Mofanana ndi okhulupirira Utatu, Okhulupirira Sabata ali ndi malingaliro awoawo osayenera, zonena zolimba mtima ndi zabodza, zimene ziyenera kuvumbulidwa mmene Yesu anavumbula “chotupitsa cha Afarisi.” ( Mateyu 16:6 ) Iwo ali pangozi kwa ana a Mulungu amene angoyamba kumene kuzindikira kutengedwa kwawo kukhala ana a Mulungu. Kuti zimenezi zitheke, tiyeni tione zimene a Seventh-day Adventist amanena pa nkhani ya Sabata. Kuchokera kumodzi mwa masamba awo, timawerenga:

Sabata ndi "chizindikiro za chiwombolo chathu mwa Khristu, chizindikiro za kuyeretsedwa kwathu, chizindikiro za chikhulupiriro chathu, ndi kulawiratu za tsogolo lathu losatha mu ufumu wa Mulungu, ndi chizindikiro chosatha cha pangano losatha la Mulungu pakati pa iye ndi anthu ake.” (Kuchokera ku Adventist.org/the-sabbath/).

Ndi mawu okwezeka chotani nanga amene ali ndi mawu apamwamba, ndipo onse opanda malemba amodzi! Iwo amanena kuti Sabata ndilo chizindikiro chamuyaya ndi chisindikizo cha pangano losatha la Mulungu pakati pa iye ndi anthu ake. Tiyenera kudabwa kuti anthu akutanthauza chiyani. Iwo, m’chenicheni, akukhazikitsa chiphunzitso chonyenga chakuti Sabata, monga mbali ya pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose, limakhala pangano lamuyaya patsogolo kapena lofunika kwambiri kuposa pangano latsopano limene Atate wathu wakumwamba anapanga ndi ana a Mulungu monga mkhalapakati wa Yesu Kristu. ( Ahebri 12:24 ) zochokera pa chikhulupiriro.

Mlembi wosokonezeka wa pawebusaiti ya Sabata imeneyo anatenga mawu achigiriki a m’Baibulo amene amagwiritsidwa ntchito posonyeza kuti mzimu woyera ndi chizindikiro, chisindikizo, chizindikiro, ndi chitsimikizo cha chivomerezo wa Atate wathu wakumwamba kwa ana ake osankhidwa a Mulungu ndipo amagwiritsira ntchito mawu amenewo kufotokoza mwambo wa Sabata. Kumeneku n’kuchita mwano chifukwa palibe paliponse pamene m’Malemba Achikristu mulibe chisindikizo, chizindikiro, chizindikiro, kapena chizindikiro chokhudza Sabata. Inde, tikuona kuti mawu akuti “chizindikiro” ndi “chisindikizo” ankagwiritsidwa ntchito kaŵirikaŵiri m’malemba Achihebri otchula zinthu monga pangano la mdulidwe ndi pangano la Sabata koma kugwiritsiridwa ntchito kumeneko kunali kokha m’malemba Achihebri akale ponena za Aisrayeli. pansi pa goli la Pangano la Chilamulo cha Mose.

Tiyeni tione zimene Paulo analemba zokhudza chidindo, chizindikiro, ndi chitsimikiziro cha mzimu woyera m’ndime zambiri zimene zimasonyeza kuvomereza kwa Mulungu kwa ana ake osankhidwa osankhidwa chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Yesu.

“Ndipo inunso munaphatikizidwa mwa Kristu pamene munamva uthenga wa choonadi, Uthenga Wabwino wa chipulumutso chanu. Pamene mudakhulupirira, mudasindikizidwa chizindikiro mwa iye chisindikizo, olonjezedwa Mzimu Woyera amene ali chosungiramo chimatsimikizira cholowa chathu kufikira chiwombolo cha iwo amene ali chuma cha Mulungu, kuti ulemerero wake utamandike. ( Aefeso 1:13,14, XNUMX )

“Tsopano ndi Mulungu amene amakhazikitsa ife ndi inu mwa Khristu. Iye anatidzoza ife, naika cizindikilo cace pa ife, naika Mzimu wace m’mitima mwathu monga cikole ca cimene ciri nkudza.” (Ŵelengani 2 Akorinto 1:21,22, XNUMX.)

“Ndipo Mulungu watikonzekeretsa ife pa cholinga chomwechi ndipo watipatsa ife Mzimu ngati chikole za zomwe zirinkudza.” ( 2 Akorinto 5:5 )

Chabwino, ndiye tiyeni tifotokoze mwachidule zomwe tapeza mpaka pano. Palibe kutchulidwa kwa kukwezedwa kwa Sabata ngati chisindikizo cha chivomerezo cha Mulungu m'malemba achikhristu. Ndiwo mzimu woyera umene ukuzindikiritsidwa kukhala chidindo cha chivomerezo pa ana a Mulungu. Zili ngati kuti anthu a Sabata sakhulupirira Kristu Yesu ndi uthenga wabwino umene iye anaphunzitsa chifukwa chakuti samvetsa kuti timakhala olungama mwa mzimu osati ndi ntchito yachikalekale.

Komabe, m’njira yolongosoka yoyenerera, tiyeni tiyang’ane mosamalitsa zimene zimapanga uthenga wabwino kuti tione ngati pali chizindikiro cha mtundu uliwonse wa kutchulidwa kwa kusunga Sabata monga mbali yofunika ya kulandiridwa mu ufumu wa Mulungu.

Poyamba, zimandidabwitsa kunena kuti mndandanda wa machimo omwe umalepheretsa anthu kulowa mu Ufumu wa Mulungu wotchulidwa pa 1 Akorinto 6:9-11 suphatikiza kusasunga Sabata. Kodi sizingakhale pamndandandawo zikadakwezedwa ngati “chizindikiro chosatha cha pangano losatha la Mulungu pakati pa iye ndi anthu ake” (malinga ndi tsamba la Seventh-day Adventist lomwe tatchula pamwambapa)?

Tiyeni tiyambe ndi kuwerenga zimene Paulo analembera Akolose zokhudza uthenga wabwino. Iye analemba kuti:

 “Pakuti tamva chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Khristu Yesu ndi chikondi chanu pa anthu onse a Mulungu, amene achokera kwa inu chiyembekezo chotsimikizirika cha zimene Mulungu wakusungirani kumwamba. Munali ndi ciyembekezo cimeneci kuyambira pamene munamva coonadi ca Uthenga Wabwino. Uthenga Wabwino womwewu umene unadza kwa inu ukufalikira padziko lonse lapansi. Ikubala zipatso paliponse posintha miyoyo, monga momwe idasinthira miyoyo yanu kuyambira tsiku lomwe mudamva ndikumvetsetsa choonadi cha chisomo chodabwitsa cha Mulungu.” ( Akolose 1:4-6 )

Zimene timaona m’lembali n’zakuti uthenga wabwino umaphatikizapo chikhulupiriro mwa Kristu Yesu, kukonda anthu a Mulungu (osatinso kuonedwa ngati Aisrayeli okha koma makamaka Akunja), ndi kuzindikira chowonadi cha chisomo chodabwitsa cha Mulungu! Paulo ananena kuti uthenga wabwino umasintha miyoyo, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti mzimu woyera umagwira ntchito pa anthu amene amva ndi kumvetsa. Ndi ntchito ya mzimu woyera pa ife kuti timakhala olungama pamaso pa Mulungu, osati mwa ntchito za lamulo. Paulo ananena zimenezi momveka bwino pamene anati:

“Pakuti palibe munthu amene angayesedwe wolungama ndi Mulungu pochita zimene lamulo lilamula. Chilamulo chimangosonyeza mmene ife ndife ochimwa.” ( Aroma 3:20 )

Ponena za “chilamulo,” Paulo pano ankanena za pangano la chilamulo cha Mose, lomwe linali ndi malamulo ndi malangizo opitirira 600 amene munthu aliyense mu mtundu wa Isiraeli analamulidwa kuchita. Ndondomeko ya kakhalidwe imeneyi inakhazikitsidwa kwa zaka pafupifupi 1,600 monga makonzedwe amene Yehova anapereka kwa Aisrayeli kuti aphimbe machimo awo—chifukwa chake malamulowo ankatchedwa “ofooka mwa thupi.” Monga tafotokozera m’nkhani ino, n’zobwerezabwereza, chifukwa malamulowo sakanapatsa Aisiraeli chikumbumtima choyera pamaso pa Mulungu. Magazi a Khristu okha ndi amene akanatha kuchita zimenezo. Kumbukirani zimene Paulo anachenjeza Agalatiya ponena za aliyense wolalikira uthenga wabwino wabodza? Iye anati:

Monga tanenera kale, ndinenanso tsopano, Ngati wina akulalikirani uthenga wabwino wosiyana ndi umene mudaulandira, akhale wotembereredwa! ( Agalatiya 1:9 )

Kodi anthu a Sabata akulalikira uthenga wabwino wabodza? Inde, chifukwa iwo amapangitsa kusunga Sabata kukhala chizindikiro cha kukhala Mkhristu ndipo izo siziri mwamalemba, koma ife sitikufuna kuti iwo atembereredwe kotero tiyeni tiwathandize. Mwina zingakhale zothandiza kwa iwo tikadalankhula za Pangano la Mdulidwe lomwe Yahweh (Yehova) adapanga ndi Abrahamu pafupifupi zaka 406 Pangano la Chilamulo lisanakhazikitsidwe cha m'ma 1513 BCE.

Mulungu adatinso kwa Abrahamu,

“Uzisunga pangano langa, iwe ndi zidzukulu zako m’mibadwo ya pambuyo pako. Amuna onse mwa inu azidulidwa. Muzidula khungu lanu, ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano pakati pa Ine ndi inu.Pangano langa m’thupi lanu lidzakhala pangano losatha. (Genesis 17: 9-13)

Ngakhale mu ndime 13 timawerenga zimenezo ili liyenera kukhala pangano losatha, zinakanika kukhala. Pangano la Chilamulo litatha mu 33 C.E., sanafunikirenso kuchita zimenezi. Akristu achiyuda anayenera kulingalira za mdulidwe mophiphiritsira ponena za kuchotseratu chibadwa chawo chauchimo. Paulo analembera Akolose kuti:

“Mwa Iye [Khristu Yesu] inunso munadulidwa, m’kuchotsa thupi lanu lauchimo, ndi mdulidwe wa Kristu, osati ndi manja a munthu. Ndipo atayikidwa m'manda pamodzi ndi Iye mu ubatizo, mudaukitsidwa pamodzi ndi Iye mwa chikhulupiriro chanu mu mphamvu ya Mulungu, amene anamuukitsa Iye kwa akufa.” (Ŵelengani Akolose 2:11,12, XNUMX.)

Mofananamo, Aisiraeli anafunika kusunga Sabata. Mofanana ndi Pangano la Mdulidwe, lomwe linkatchedwa pangano losatha, Sabata linayenera kusungidwa monga chizindikiro pakati pa Mulungu ndi Aisrayeli mpaka kalekale.

“Ndithu, muzisunga masabata anga; pakuti ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pakati pa Ine ndi inu ku mibadwomibadwo, kuti mudziwe kuti Ine ndine Yehova wakupatula inu.Ana a Israyeli azisunga Sabata, kulisunga monga pangano losatha ku mibadwo yakudza. ( Eksodo 13-17 )

Mofanana ndi pangano losatha la Mdulidwe, pangano losatha la Sabata linatha pamene Mulungu anapereka lonjezo kwa Amitundu kudzera mwa Abrahamu. “Ndipo ngati muli a Kristu, muli mbadwa za Abrahamu, olowa nyumba monga mwa lonjezano. ( Agalatiya 4:29 )

Chilamulo cha Mose chinatha ndipo Pangano Latsopano linayamba kugwira ntchito ndi mwazi wokhetsedwa wa Yesu. Monga momwe malembo amanenera:

“Tsopano, komabe, Yesu walandira utumiki wabwino koposa, monganso pangano Iye ali mkhalapakati ndi wabwino ndipo wakhazikika pa malonjezano abwino. Pakuti pangano loyamba lija likadakhala lopanda chilema, sakadafuna malo a lachiwiri. Koma Mulungu adapeza cholakwa ndi anthu…” (Ahebri 8:6-8).

 “Pakunena za pangano latsopano, Iye anathetsa loyambalo; ndi zimene zatha ndi ukalamba zidzatha posachedwa.( Ahebri 8:13, XNUMX )

Pomaliza, tiyenera kukumbukira kuti pamene Chilamulo cha Mose chinatha ndi lamulo la kusunga Sabata. Kuloŵa kwa dzuŵa kufikira pakuloŵa kwa dzuŵa Sabata la Sabata linasiyidwa ndi Akristu owona ndipo sanali kulichita! Ndipo pamene bungwe la atumwi ndi ophunzira linakumana mu Yerusalemu kukambitsirana za zimene Akunja akanayembekezeredwa kuchirikiza monga mapulinsipulo Achikristu, m’lingaliro la nkhani yowonjezereka ya awo amene akubwerera ku mdulidwe monga njira ya chipulumutso. sitiona kutchulidwa konse za kusunga Sabata. Kusakhalapo kwa ulamuliro wotsogozedwa ndi mzimu wotero ndiko kofunika kwambiri, sichoncho?

“Pakuti mzimu woyera ndi ife takomera mtima kuti tisakusenzetseni chothodwetsa china, kupatulapo izi zofunika: kupewa zoperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano, ndi mwazi, ndi zopotola, ndi dama. ( Machitidwe 15:28, 29 )

Anatinso,

“Abale, mukudziwa kuti m’masiku oyambirira Mulungu anasankha pakati panu kuti anthu a mitundu ina amve uthenga wa Uthenga Wabwino kuchokera pakamwa panga, ndi kukhulupirira.  Ndipo Mulungu, amene amadziwa mtima, anasonyeza kukondwera kwake mwa kuwapatsa Mzimu Woyera, monganso anachitira kwa ife. Sadalekanitse ife ndi iwo, pakuti adayeretsa mitima yawo ndi chikhulupiriro. ( Machitidwe 15:7-9 )

Chomwe tiyenera kuzindikira ndi kusinkhasinkha ndi chakuti, malinga ndi malembo, chikhalidwe chathu chamkati chokhala mwa Khristu Yesu ndicho chofunikira kwambiri. Tiyenera kutsogozedwa ndi Mzimu. Ndipo monga Petro anatchula pamwamba ndi Paulo anatchula nthawi zambiri, palibe kusiyana kunja kwa dziko kapena jenda kapena msinkhu wa chuma chimene chimadziwika mwana wa Mulungu (Akolose 3:11; Agalatiya 3:28,29). Onse ali anthu auzimu, amuna ndi akazi amene amamvetsetsa kuti mzimu woyera wokha ndi umene ungawasonkhezere kukhala olungama ndipo sikuli mwa kutsatira miyambo, malamulo ndi malangizo oikidwa ndi amuna kuti tipeze moyo pamodzi ndi Kristu. Zimakhazikika pa chikhulupiriro chathu osati pa Sabata. Paulo ananena kuti “iwo amene amatsogozedwa ndi mzimu wa Mulungu ali ana a Mulungu.” Palibe umboni wa m'malemba wonena kuti kusunga Sabata ndi chizindikiro chozindikiritsa ana a Mulungu. M’malo mwake, ndi chikhulupiriro chamkati mwa Kristu Yesu chimene chimatiyeneretsa kukhala ndi moyo wosatha! “Amitundu atamva izi, anakondwera, nalemekeza mawu a Yehova; ndipo anakhulupirira onse amene anaikidwiratu moyo wosatha.” ( Machitidwe 13:48 )
