PAMENE chimodzi amamvetsa Mtanda- kuti sitimangokhala openyerera koma otengapo gawo pa chipulumutso cha dziko lapansi — zimasintha chirichonse. Chifukwa tsopano, polumikiza ntchito yanu yonse kwa Yesu, inunso mumakhala “nsembe yamoyo” amene “wabisika” mwa Khristu. Mumakhala a kwenikweni chida chachisomo kudzera mu zabwino za Mtanda wa Khristu komanso kutenga nawo mbali mu "udindo" Wake waumulungu kudzera mu Kuuka Kwake.
Pakuti mudafa, ndipo moyo wanu wabisika pamodzi ndi Khristu mwa Mulungu. (Akol. 3: 3)

Izi zonse zikutanthauza kuti Ubatizo umakupangitsani kukhala okonda monga momwe Mulungu amakondera, ndikukhala monga momwe Iye alili. Koma izi zimafuna kuti nthawi zonse anthu azikana machimo ndi "umunthu wakale." Umu ndi momwe mumathandizira nawo mu zachifumu Udindo wa Yesu: pokhala, mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, kukhala “wolamulira” thupi lanu ndi zilakolako zake.
Chifukwa cha ntchito yawo yachifumu, anthu wamba ali ndi mphamvu yakuchotsa uchimo mwa iwo eni komanso mdziko lapansi, mwa kudzikana kwawo ndi chiyero cha moyo wawo .. Chomwe chiri chachifumu kwa moyo kuti ulamulire thupi pomvera Mulungu? -CCC, N. 786

Momwe Yesu amagwirira ntchito kudzera mwa iwe ndi ine tidzakhala osiyana, chifukwa pali ziwalo zambiri mthupi. [2]onani. Aroma 12: 3-8 Koma cha Khristu tsopano ndi chanu; Mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wake ndiye “ufulu wakubadwa” wanu:
Taonani, ndakupatsani inu mphamvu yoponda pa njoka ndi zinkhanira, ndi pa mphamvu yonse ya mdaniyo ndipo palibe chomwe chingakupwetekeni… Ameni, inde, ndinena kwa inu, aliyense amene akhulupirira Ine adzachita ntchito zimene Ine ndizichita , ndipo ndidzachita zazikulu kuposa izi, chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate .... (Luka 10:19; Johane 14:12)
Chofunika kwambiri mu ntchito za Khristu ndi ntchito Yake yolengeza Ufumu wa Mulungu. [3]onani. Luka 4:18, 43; Marko 16:15 Ndipo potero,
Anthu wamba amakwaniritsanso ntchito yawo yolosera mwa kulalikira, "ndiko kuti, kulengeza kwa Khristu ndi mawu ndi umboni wa moyo." -CCC, N. 905

Koma chozama kwambiri kuposa kutenga nawo gawo mu zachifumu ndi zaulosi Utumiki wa Yesu ndikutengapo gawo mu zake wansembe ofesi. Chifukwa zinali ndendende muofesi iyi, monga onse awiri mkulu wansembe ndi nsembe, kuti Yesu anayanjanitsa dziko lapansi ndi Atate. Koma tsopano popeza muli chiwalo cha Thupi Lake, inunso mumachita nawo unsembe wake wachifumu ndi ntchito iyi yoyanjanitsa; inunso mumagwira nawo ntchito yodzaza “Chosowa m'masautso a Kristu.” [4]Col Col 1: 24 Bwanji?
Ndikupemphani abale, mwa zifundo za Mulungu, kuti mupereke matupi anu nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika ndi yokondweretsa Mulungu, kupembedza kwanu kwauzimu. (Aroma 12: 1)
Malingaliro anu onse, mawu anu, ndi zochita zanu, mukalumikizidwa ndi Ambuye mchikondi, zitha kukhala njira yopezera chisomo cha Mtanda mu moyo wanu, ndi pa ena.
Kwa ntchito zawo zonse, mapemphero, ndi zochitika zautumwi, banja ndi moyo wapabanja, ntchito za tsiku ndi tsiku, kupumula kwa malingaliro ndi thupi, ngati zakwaniritsidwa mu Mzimu - inde ngakhale zovuta za moyo ngati zidabadwa moleza mtima - zonsezi zimakhala nsembe zauzimu zovomerezeka Mulungu kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. -CCC, N. 901
Apanso, pamene "tipereka" ntchito izi, mapemphero, ndi zowawa — monga Yesu-amatenga mphamvu yowombola yomwe
imayenda molunjika kuchokera ku mtima wobwereka wa Wowombola.

YOHANE PAUL II, Salvifici Doloros,n. 23, 26
Kuti ife — kuti unsembe wathu wauzimu ukhale wogwira ntchito — tikufuna kuti kumvera kwa chikhulupiriro. Dona Wathu ndiye chitsanzo cha unsembe wauzimu wa Tchalitchi, chifukwa anali woyamba kudzipereka yekha ngati nsembe yamoyo kuti Yesu aperekedwe kudziko lapansi. Ziribe kanthu zomwe timakumana nazo pamoyo, zabwino ndi zoyipa, pemphero la Mkhristu wansembe liyenera kukhala lofanana:
Taonani, ine ndine mdzakazi wa Ambuye. Zikachitike kwa ine monga mwa mawu anu. (Luka 1:38)
Mwanjira imeneyi, a kulowetsedwa kwa chisomo muzochita zathu zonse zimawasintha, titero, monga "mkate ndi vinyo" amasandulika kukhala Thupi ndi Magazi a Khristu. Mwadzidzidzi, zomwe kwa anthu zimawoneka ngati zopanda tanthauzo kapena kuzunzika kopanda tanthauzo

[6]Gal 2: 20 Kodi zotsatira za "kusandulika ndi thupi" kwa machitidwe athu kukhala chinthu "choyera ndi chokondweretsa Mulungu" ndi chiyani chikondi.
Chifukwa chake khalani akutsanza a Mulungu, monga ana okondedwa, ndipo khalani mchikondi, monganso Khristu adatikonda nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife, ngati nsembe yafungo kwa Mulungu, ya fungo lonunkhira… Kukhala unsembe wopatulika wopereka nsembe zauzimu zovomerezeka kwa Mulungu kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu (Aef 5: 1-2,1 Peter 2: 5)
CHIKONDI CHIMAGONJETSA ONSE
Okondedwa abale ndi alongo, ndiloleni ndichepetse chiphunzitsochi kukhala mawu amodzi: chikondi. Ndizosavuta. "Kondani, ndipo chitani zomwe mukufuna," nthawi ina Augustine adanena. [7]Aurelius Augustine, Chiphunzitso pa 1 Yohane 4: 4-12; N. 8 Izi ndichifukwa choti amene amatikonda monga Khristu adatikondera nthawi zonse amatenga nawo gawo muufumu wake, uneneri, ndi unsembe.

Lolani mawu a Khristu akhale mwa inu mochuluka, monga mwa nzeru zonse muphunzitsane ndi kulangizana wina ndi mnzake, kuyimba masalimo, nyimbo, ndi nyimbo zauzimu ndi chiyamiko m'mitima mwanu kwa Mulungu. Ndipo chilichonse chimene mungachite, m'mawu kapena muntchito, chitani zonse m'dzina la Ambuye Yesu, ndikuyamika Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa iye. (Akol. 3: 12-17)
