'Uloyiso ngaphezulu "kwenkosana yeli hlabathi" waphumelela kanye ngeyure xa uYesu wazinikela ngokukhululekileyo ekufeni ukuze asinike ubomi bakhe. ' ^[1]Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2853 UBukumkani bukaThixo buye beza ukususela kwiSidlo sokugqibela, kwaye buqhubeka buza phakathi kwethu nge-Ekaristi Engcwele. ^[2]CCC, n. I-2816 Njengoko iNdumiso yanamhlanje isitsho, Ubukumkani bakho bubukumkani bayo yonke iminyaka, negunya lakho lihlala kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Ukuba kunjalo, kutheni le nto uYesu esithi kwivangeli yanamhlanje:

Andisayi kuba sathetha zinto zininzi nani, kuba uyeza umphathi weli hlabathi.(?)

Ukuba ‘umlawuli wehlabathi uyeza,’ ngaba oko akuthethi ukuba uSathana usenamandla? Impendulo ifumaneka koko uYesu akuthethayo ngokulandelayo:

Akanamandla phezu kwam...

Kulungile, kodwa kuthekani mna nawe? Ngaba uMtyholi unamandla phezu kwethu? Loo mpendulo ithi phantsi kwemiqathango. Ngokufa nokuvuka kukaYesu, iNkosi yethu yawaphula amandla e ngonaphakade ukufa phezu koluntu. Njengoko iSt. Paul wabhala…

…wanidlisa ubomi kunye naye, esixolele zonke izikreqo zethu; eyicimile intambo eyayisimelene nayo, kwanezimangalo zethu, ezichaseneyo nathi, wayisusa phakathi kwethu, wayibethelela emnqamlezweni; ebabhunyula ozilawuli noomagunya, wabenza umboniso ekuhleni, bemka nabo ngoloyiso. ( Kol 2:13-15 )

Oko kukuthi isono libango elisemthethweni uSathana alibeke phezu kohlanga loluntu. Kodwa ngenxa yocamagusho lukaKristu, nabani na oguqukayo esonweni aze abe nokholo kuye, ukhululwe kuloo mabango asemthethweni—izono zakhe zibethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Ke xa uYesu esithi kubapostile...

Ndishiya uxolo kuni; ndininika uxolo lwam… Mayingakhathazeki intliziyo yenu.

…uxolo alunikayo (kungekhona njengoko linika ihlabathi) luxhomekeke ekumlandeleni, ekumthobeleni nasekuthembeleni kuye. Umphefumlo obhaptiziweyo owela esonweni sokufa ubuyisela kuSathana oko kwakufunwa nguKristu. Ke ngoko, ngoxa kusekho ixesha, amagunya nolawulo, izilawuli zehlabathi noomoya abakhohlakeleyo ezulwini ^[3]cf. Efe 6:12 Balwela ukuzuza oko uKristu akuzuzileyo, kodwa kuphela kangangoko banako: umphefumlo ngomphefumlo ngomnyango wenkululeko yokuzikhethela yomntu. Ngaloo ndlela, njengoko iSt.

Kufuneka sityhubele iinzima ezininzi ukuze singene eBukumkanini bukaThixo. (ukufunda okokuqala)

Siya kwenza ntoni ke? Ukuba ufuna ukukhululeka kumandla kaSathana, hlala ke phakathi kwe-Confessional kunye nesibingelelo. Owokuqala ucima nawaphi na amandla othe okwethutyana wanikezela kuSathana; lo wokugqibela umema uYesu okhoyo kwi-Ekaristi ukuba aphile ngaphakathi kwakho. Kwaye ukuba uhlala kuwe, ngoko unokuthi kunye noYesu: "USathana akanagunya phezu kwam." ^[4]Kwiimeko apho ubani azivulele ngokwakhe kuSathana ngezibhambathiso, izivumelwano, iziqalekiso, ngoomabophe, ubugqi, ubugqwirha, njl.njl. usenokuba wanika ubumnyama indawo enkulu efuna umthandazo nokuzila ukutya, kwaye kwiimeko ezinzima kakhulu, ukukhupha iidemon.

Kwaye ukuba uhlala phakathi kwe-Confessional kunye nesibingelelo ekuthandeni kukaThixo, ngoko uKristu uya kulawula ngaphakathi nangawe, njengoko wathembisayo kwiVangeli yayizolo: “Lowo undithandayo uya kuligcina ilizwi lam, yaye uBawo uya kumthanda, yaye siya kuza kuye size sihlale naye.” Umphefumlo onjalo unamandla kaKristu okunyathela phezu kweenyoka noonomadudwane; ^[5]cf. ULuka 10:19 yaye njengoPawulos oNgcwele, ube lingqina elingenaloyiko leLizwi likaThixo. Kuba uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphosela phandle lonke uloyiko;

Siyazi ukuba singabakaThixo, nokuba ihlabathi liphela liphantsi kongendawo. (1 Yohane 5:19)
