KANYE Nye uyawuqonda umnqamlezo-Okuba asingobabukeli nje kodwa sithatha inxaxheba ekusindisweni kwehlabathi-iyatshintsha yonke into. Kuba ngoku, ngokudibanisa yonke imisebenzi yakho noYesu, wena ngokwakho uba "lidini eliphilayo" 'elifihliweyo' kuKristu. Uba ngu yenene Isixhobo sobabalo ngokufaneleka koMnqamlezo kaKristu kunye nomthathi-nxaxheba “kwiofisi” Yakhe ngovuko lwaKhe.

Yonke le yenye indlela yokuthi ngoku uyinxalenye kaKrestu, ilungu elililo lomzimba wakhe oyimfihlakalo ngokubhaptizwa, hayi nje "isixhobo" nje esinjengombhobho okanye isixhobo. Endaweni yoko, mKristu othandekayo, nantso into eyenzekayo xa umbingeleli ethambisa ubuso bakho nge-chrism yeoli:
… Abathembekileyo, abathi ngoBhaptizo bafakwa kuKristu badityaniswa naBantu bakaThixo, benziwa abathathi-nxaxheba ngendlela yabo ekhethekileyo kububingeleli, kwisiprofeto, nakwiofisi yobukumkani bukaKristu, kwaye banendima abayidlalayo kwimishini yokuthunywa. abantu abangamaKrestu bonke eCaweni nakwiLizwe. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n.

NgoBhaptizo, uThixo "usibethelele" isono sakho kunye nendalo yakho kumthi woMnqamlezo, kwaye wakufaka uBathathu Emnye Ongcwele, ngaloo ndlela evula uvuko "lwenene" lwakho.
Thina sabhaptizelwa kuKrestu Yesu, sabhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe… Ukuba ke safa kunye noKristu, siyakholwa ukuba sodla ubomi kwakunye naye. (Roma 6: 3, 8)
Konke oku kuthetha ukuba ubhaptizo lukwenza ukwazi ukuthanda ukuthanda kukaThixo, kwaye uphile ngokuphila kwakhe. Kodwa oku kufuna ukusikhanyela okuqhubekayo isono kunye "nomntu omdala." Nantso ke indlela othabatha inxaxheba ngayo njengokumkani iofisi ka Yesu: ngokuba ngoncedo loMoya oyiNgcwele, ube “ngukumkani” phezu komzimba wakho neenkanuko zawo.
Ngenxa yemishini yabo yobukumkani, abantu abaqhelekileyo banamandla okusiphula umthetho wesono ngaphakathi kwabo nasehlabathini, ngokuzincama kwabo kunye nobungcwele bobomi ... Yintoni, ngokwenene, ebukhosini ngomphefumlo njengokulawula umzimba ekuthobeleni uThixo? -I-CCC, n. I-786
Oku kuthobela uThixo kuthetha ukuba uzithobe, njengoko noKristu wenzayo, ukuze ube ngu for zabanye. 'KumKristu, "ukulawula kukumkhonza." [1]I-CCC, n. I-786
IOFISI YESIPROFETI
Ngobhaptizo, utsaliwe, kwaye uqondakaliswe ngokunzulu noYesu, kangangokuba into ayenzileyo emhlabeni uzimisele ukuqhubeka eyenza nina—Ingenzi nje ngomjelo nje — kodwa inyani Umzimba wakhe. Uyayiqonda le nto, sihlobo sam? Wena 
are Umzimba wakhe. Into eyenziwa nguYesu kwaye afuna ukuyenza 'ngumzimba wakhe', kanye njengoko kufuneka uyenze namhlanje kwenziwa ngengqondo, umlomo kunye namalungu omzimba. Indlela uYesu asebenza ngayo ngawe kwaye siyokwahluka, kuba maninzi amalungu emzimbeni. [2]cf. Roma 12: 3-8 Ke izinto zikaKristu ngoku zezenu; Amandla akhe nolawulo "bubuzibulo" bakho:
Yabonani, ndininikile amandla 'okunyathela phezu kweenyoka' noonomadudwane naphezu kwawo onke amandla otshaba kwaye akukho nto inokwenzakalisa… Amen, amen, ndithi kuni, wonke umntu okholwayo kum uyakwenza imisebenzi endiyenzayo mna. , yaye ndiya kwenza ezinkulu kunale, ngenxa yokuba ndiya kuBawo… (ULuka 10:19; uYohane 14:12)
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwimisebenzi kaKrestu ngumsebenzi waKhe wokuvakalisa uBukumkani bukaThixo. [3]cf. ULuka 4:18, 43; UMarko 16:15 Kwaye,
Abantu abaqhelekileyo bazalisekisa nomsebenzi wabo wokuprofeta ngokuvangela, "Oko kukuthi, ukuvakaliswa kukaKrestu ngelizwi nangobungqina bobomi." -I-CCC, n. I-905
Ngoko ke singoonozakuzaku bakaKristu, ngokungathi uThixo ubongoza ngathi. (2 Kor. 5:20)
KWIOFISI
Kodwa okunzulu ngakumbi kunokuthatha inxaxheba kwi njengokumkani kwaye isiprofetho Umsebenzi kaYesu kukuthatha inxaxheba kuYe ububingeleli iofisi. Kungenxa yokuba kanye kule ofisi, bobabini umbingeleli omkhulu kwaye ngelelo, ukuba uYesu uxolelanise ihlabathi noYise. Kodwa ngoku ekubeni ulilungu loMzimba waKhe, nawe ubandakanyeka kububingeleli bakhe basebukhosini nakulo msebenzi woxolelwaniso; nawe wabelane ngesakhono sokugcwalisa “Kukusilela kwiintsizi zikaKristu.” [4]Col 1: 24 Njani?
Ndiyanivuselela ngoko, bazalwana, ngeemfefe zikaThixo, ukuba niyinikele imizimba yenu ibe lidini eliphilileyo, elingcwele, elikholekileyo kuThixo. (KwabaseRoma 12: 1)
Yonke ingcinga, ilizwi, kunye nesenzo sakho, xa simanyene neNkosi ngothando, sinokuba yindlela yokulondolozwa kobabalo loMnqamlezo emphefumlweni wakho, nakwabanye.
Kuyo yonke imisebenzi yabo, imithandazo, kunye nemisebenzi yabapostile, usapho kunye nobomi bomtshato, umsebenzi wemihla ngemihla, ukuphumla kwengqondo nomzimba, ukuba zifezekisiwe ngoMoya-ngenene nobunzima bobomi ukuba bazalwe ngomonde-zonke ezi zinto ziyimibingelelo yokomoya eyamkelekileyo UThixo ngoYesu Kristu. -I-CCC, n. I-901
Apha kwakhona, xa "sinikela" le misebenzi, imithandazo, kunye nokubandezeleka-njengoko wenzayo uYesu-bathatha amandla ahlangulayo lawo
Ukuhamba ngokuthe ngqo kusuka kwintliziyo yokuqeshisa koMhlawuleli.
… Ubuthathaka bazo zonke iintlungu zomntu ziyakwazi ukumiliselwa ngawo amandla afanayo kaThixo abonakaliswe emnqamlezweni kaKrestu… ukuze zonke iintlobo zokubandezeleka, zinikwe ubomi obutsha ngamandla alo Mnqamlezo, zingabi saba bubuthathaka bomntu kodwa Amandla kaThixo. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros, n. I-23, 26
Kwelethu icala-ukuze ububingeleli bethu bokomoya busebenze-kufuna ukuba ukuthobela ukholo. Inenekazi lethu lingumzekelo wobubingeleli bokomoya beCawe, kuba yayiyeyokuqala ukuzinikela njengedini eliphilayo ukuze uYesu anikwe umhlaba. Nokuba sihlangana phi ebomini, ngokulungileyo nokubi, umthandazo womkristu ongumfundisi ufanele ukuba ubengofananayo:
Yabona, ndingumkhonzazana weNkosi; Ngamana kungenzeka kum ngokwelizwi lakho. (ULuka 1:38)
Ngale ndlela, i ukumiliselwa kobabalo Kuzo zonke izinto esizenzayo siziguqula, ngokungathi kunjalo, "isonka newayini" ziguqulwa zaba nguMzimba neGazi likaKristu. Ngesiquphe, yintoni ngokwembono yomntu ebonakala ngathi zizenzo ezingenantsingiselo okanye ukubandezeleka okungenangqondo 
kuba '' Livumba elithozamisayo, 'umbingelelo owamkelekileyo, okholekileyo kuThixo.' [5]UPhil 4: 18 Kuba, xa simanyene ngokukhululekileyo eNkosini, noYesu ngokwakhe ungena kwimisebenzi yethu enjalo "Ndiyaphila, ayisenguye lo, kodwa uKristu uphila kum." [6]Gal 2: 20 Iziphumo zethu "kukuguquka kwesonka newayini" zibe yinto engcwele nengcwele kuThixo uthando.
Ngoko yibani ngabaxelisa uThixo, ngokwabantwana abaziintanda; nihlale eluthandweni, kwanjengokuba naye uKristu wasithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yethu, ukuba abe ngumnikelo kuye uThixo ukuba abe livumba elithozamisayo…. ububingeleli obungcwele obunikela imibingelelo yokomoya eyamkelekileyo kuThixo ngoYesu Krestu (Efese 5: 1-2,1, 2 Petros 5: XNUMX).
UTHANDO LOYISA KONKE
Bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, mandiyinciphise le mfundiso kwigama elinye: uthando. Yinto elula nje leyo. "Thanda, kwaye wenze ukuthanda kwakho," watsho u-Augustine. [7]U-Aurelius Augustine, INtshumayelo ku-1 Yohane 4: 4-12; n. I-8 Kungenxa yokuba lowo usithandayo njengokuba uKristu wasithandayo uya kuhlala ethatha inxaxheba ebukumkanini bakhe, kwisiprofetho, nakububingeleli.
Yambathani ngoko, njengabanyulwa bakaThixo, abangcwele, abathandiweyo, iimfesane zeentliziyo, ububele, ukuthobeka kwentliziyo, ubulali, ukuzeka kade umsindo, ninyamezelana, nixolelana, ukuba ubani uthi abe nokusola ngakubani; njengokuba uYehova wanixolelayo, yenjani njalo nani. Ke, phezu kwazo zonke ezo zinto, yalekani uthando, oluyintambo yogqibelelo. Uxolo lukaThixo, enabizelwa kwakulo mzimba mnye, malulawule iintliziyo zenu. Yiba nombulelo. Ilizwi likaKristu malihlale ngaphakathi kwenu ngokobutyebi; nithi, njengoko nifundisana ngako konke, ze nilulekane; nivume uThixo ngeendumiso, neengoma, neengoma ezizezomoya. Nako konke enisukuba nikwenza ngelizwi, nokuba kungomsebenzi, yenzani egameni leNkosi uYesu, nibulela ngayo kuye uThixo uYise. (KwabaseKolose 3: 12-17)
