NgoLwesihlanu emva koLwesithathu we-Ash

UVUKA, hayi umhlaba, likhaya lethu. Yiyo loo nto, uSt. Paul ebhala:

Zintanda, ndiyakubongoza njengabaphambukeli nabafuduki ukuba nikhumke ezinkanukweni ezizezenyama eziyilwayo umphefumlo. (1 Pet 2:11)

Sonke siyazi ukuba kukho idabi elenziwa mihla le kubomi bethu phakathi kwe- inyama kwaye i umoya. Nangona, ngoBhaptizo, uThixo usinika intliziyo entsha nomoya ohlaziyiweyo, inyama yethu isephantsi kobunzima besono-ezo minqweno ingalawulekiyo efuna ukusirhola kumjikelezo wobungcwele usise eluthulini lwehlabathi. Enjani yona imfazwe!

Ndibona kumalungu am omnye umgaqo olwa nomthetho wengqondo yam, undithimbela emthethweni wesono ohleli kumalungu am. Hayi usizana endilulo! Ngubani na oya kundihlangula kulo mzimba ufayo? Ndiyambulela uThixo ngoYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu. (KwabaseRoma 7: 23-25)

Ndiyabulela kuThixo kuba, xa ndiphumelele umlo, ndingaphinda ndiqale ngoYesu Kristu. Xa ndihambile ithambile esonweni, Ndingabuyela kwiNceba yakhe endibuyisela kumjikelezo wobabalo.

Owu Thixo, umoya wam wonakele; intliziyo etyumkileyo ethobekileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela. (INdumiso yanamhlanje)

Kodwa ndisenayo le ngxaki: amandla ogqithisileyo omzimba wam. Ewe, siyakuhlala sinesilingo kobu bomi, kodwa ukuba siyalusebenzisa ubabalo lukaThixo, singaloyisa. "UKristu wasikhulula ukuba sibe nenkululeko ” utshilo uSt. “Yima uqinile kwaye ungaphindi uzithobe kwidyokhwe yobukhoboka.” ^[1]cf. Gal 5: 1

Zintathu iindlela zokukhulula idyokhwe yobukhoboka ebomini bethu:

… Ukuzila ukutya, umthandazo, yaye Isipho, ezibonisa uguquko ngokunxulumene nesiqu sakho, noThixo nabanye. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1434

Ukuba siza kuthatha ubomi bokomoya ngokungathí sina, ukuba sifuna ukwenza nayiphi na inzuzo encomekayo, ukuba sifuna ukunqanda ukubuyela emhadini wesono, ke ezi zinto zintathu kufuneka zibekhona ngandlela thile okanye kwenye ubomi. Ukuzila uqondisa umzimba wam kumoya nakwimpahla yokomoya; mthandazo umoya wam uqondiswa kuThixo; kwaye Isipho umzimba wam nomoya wam ndiwuthanda ukuthanda ummelwane.

Ukuzila ukutya kugcina inyawo elinye ezulwini, ngokutsho, kuba kuyandinceda ukuba ndikhumbule ukuba andizelanga kwenza ubukumkani bam, kodwa bobakhe. Andikwazi ukwenza ukutya kunye nokuthuthuzela isithixo; ukuba ummelwane wam ulambile kwaye kufuneka ndihlangabezane neemfuno zakhe; ukuba ndifuna ukugcina i ukulambela uThixo ngokomoya uyaphila entliziyweni yam.

Ukuzila ukutya kudala indawo entliziyweni kaThixo. Ndixelele ke zihlobo, ngaba ikomityi yekofu, ukuncedisa ukutya, okanye ukucima i-TV kukutshintshisana okungalunganga? Khumbula amazwi eNkosi yethu…

… Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. (UYohane 12:24)

Esi senzo sincinci sokufa, xa senziwa ngothando, sihlala sivelisa iziqhamo, kwaye ngeendlela ezininzi kunokuba siqonda. Xa sijoyina ukuzila kwethu kwidini likaKristu (ngomthandazo omncinci omncinci kunye nokwenza intando), izuza ixabiso elingenasiphelo kwimbuyekezo yesono, ukulamla, kunye nokukhupha.

Ewe, ukuzila ukutya kunceda ukuthobela inyama kumoya.

Ndiqhuba umzimba wam kwaye ndiwuqeqesha, ngenxa yokoyika ukuba, emva kokuba ndishumayele kwabanye, nam ngokwam ndingafaneleka. (1 Kor. 9:27)

Ukuzila ukutya lilitye lomnqamlezo. Kwaye uMnqamlezo uhlala ukhokelela eluVukweni. UYesu uthi kwiVangeli yanamhlanje, emveni kokuba emkile, Baya kuzila.”Kwaye ke, kufuneka sizile ukutya. Kodwa sihamba phambi kokuba sibaleke. Ke qala encinci, kodwa yanele ukuyifaka inyama-ukuvumela ukuba eli ceba lingene kwiminqweno.

Uyakube ugcina inyawo elinye ezulwini xa uhamba kulo mhlaba.
