PHA ngumthandazo olula kodwa mhle obizwa ngokuba "ngumthetho wokuchasana" owathandazwa ngabazisolayo ekupheleni kwesivumo:
Owu Thixo wam, ndiyaxolisa ngentliziyo yam yonke ngokuba ndonile kuwe. Ndizonyanya zonke izono zam ngenxa yokohlwaya kwakho, kodwa ikakhulu ngenxa yokuba bakukhubekisa Thixo wam, olungileyo nolufanelwe luthando lwam. Ndizimisele ngokuqinileyo, ngoncedo lobabalo lwaKho, ukuba ndingaphindi ndone kwaye ndiphephe i kufutshane nesono.
"Ithuba elikufutshane lesono." La magama mane anokukuhlangula.
UKUWA
Ithuba elikufutshane lesono lubiyele olusahlula phakathi koMhlaba woBomi kunye neNtlango yokuFa. Kwaye oku asikokuyibaxa koncwadi. Njengoko uPawulos ebhala,
Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa… (KwabaseRoma 6:23)
Ngaphambi kokuba uAdam noEva bone, babehlala behamba ngaphaya kolu cingo bengazi. Babunjalo ke ubumsulwa babo, abavuswa bububi. Kodwa uMthi woLwazi lokuLungileyo nokubi wakhula ecaleni kwalecingo. Bahendwa yiNyoka, uAdam noEva batya kuloo mthi, ngequbuliso balahlekelwe ngumlinganiso wabo, bawela entlango entlango.
Ukususela ngelo xesha ukuya phambili, ulingano ngaphakathi kwentliziyo yomntu lwenzakala. Uluntu alusenako ukuhamba ngaphezulu kolu cingo ngaphandle kokuphulukana nokuma kwalo ngokuwela esonweni. Igama leli nxeba ngu inkanuko: ukuthambekela ebubini. Intlango yokufa yaba yintlango yokuphazamiseka, kwaye kungekudala abantu abayi kuwela kuyo ngobuthathaka, kodwa abaninzi banokukhetha ukungena.
UCINGO
Ubhaptizo, ngokunikezela ngobomi bobabalo lukaKristu, lucima isono santlandlolo kwaye lubuyisele indoda kuThixo, kodwa iziphumo zendalo, buthathaka kwaye zithambekele ebubini, ziyaqhubeka emntwini kwaye zimbizele emfazweni wokomoya. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 405
Ukuba imeteor isondele kakhulu emhlabeni, itsalwa ngumxhuzulane womhlaba kwaye ekugqibeleni itshatyalaliswe njengoko itshisa emoyeni. Kananjalo, abantu abaninzi abananjongo zokona; kodwa ngokuzibeka kufutshane neemeko ezikhohlisayo, bayatsalelwa ngaphakathi njengoko ubunzima besilingo bunamandla kakhulu ukuba bangamelana naye.
Siya kuVuma, siguquke ngokunyanisekileyo… kodwa ke ungenzi nto ukulungisa indlela yokuphila okanye iimeko ezisifake engxakini kwasekuqaleni. Kungekudala, sishiya iindlela eziqinisekileyo zentando kaThixo kwiLizwe labaphilayo, kwaye siqale ukunyuka kocingo lwesilingo. Sithi, “Ndisivumile esisono. Ndifunda ibhayibhile yam ngoku. Ndithandaza irosari. Ndingayimela le nto! ” Kodwa emva koko sixakwe bubuhle besono, siphulukane nenyathelo lethu ngenxeba lobuthathaka, kwaye siwele kwangoko kwindawo esasifunga ukuba asisayi kuphinda sibuye. Sifumanisa saphukile, sityala ityala, kwaye somile emoyeni kwintlango etshayo yeNtlango yokuFa.
IINYANISO
Kuya kufuneka sizincothule ezo zinto zisizisa kwityala elikufutshane lesono. Ngamaxesha amaninzi, sisenomdla kutyekelo lwethu lwesono, nokuba siyaluvuma okanye akunjalo. Ngaphandle kwezigqibo zethu, ngokwenyani asizithembi izithembiso zikaThixo zokuba le nto anayo kuthi ibhetele ngokungenasiphelo. Inyoka yakudala iyayazi imeko yethu yokungathembani okubuthathaka, kwaye iya kwenza konke okusemandleni ukusenza ukuba sizishiye ezi zinto zinjalo. Uhlala esenza oku nge hayi ukusihenda kwangoko, ukudala inkohliso yobuxoki yokuba somelele kunokuba sinjalo.
Xa uThixo walumkisa uAdam noEva ngomthi owalelweyo eGadini, akazange atsho kuphela hayi yitya yona kodwa ngoEva:
“Ungaze ... uyichukumise, hleze ufe.” (IGenesis 3: 3)
Kwaye ke, kufuneka sishiye uXolelo, sigoduke kwaye waphule izithixo zethu hleze "sizichukumise". Umzekelo, ukuba ukubukela umabonwakude kukutsalela esonweni, yiyeke. Ukuba awukwazi ukuyishiya, tsalela umnxeba inkampani yekhebula kwaye uyinqumle. Kuyafana nekhompyuter. Ukuba uneengxaki ezinzulu zamanyala okanye ukungcakaza kwi-Intanethi njl. Okanye ukuba eso ayisosisombululo, yisuse. Ewe, lahla ikhompyuter. Njengoko watshoyo uYesu,
… Ukuba iliso lakho likukhubekisa, lincothule; Kulunge ngakumbi ukuba ungene ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye kunokuba uthi unamehlo omabini uphoswe eGehena. (UMarko 9:47)
Ukuba uneqela labahlobo abakhokelela kwimisebenzi yesono, emva koko ngokuzithoba phuma kwela qela.
Musani ukulahlekiswa: “Incoko embi yonakalisa izimilo ezilungileyo.” (1 Kor. 15:33)
Gwema ukuthenga ukutya xa ulambile. Thenga uluhlu, kunokuba unyanzele. Hamba ngendlela eyahlukileyo ukuya emsebenzini ukunqanda imifanekiso yenkanuko. Lindela amagama akruthayo avela kubachasi, kwaye uphephe ukuzoba. Nciphisa umda wekhadi lakho letyala, okanye ulinciphise ikhadi lilonke. Musa ukugcina utywala endlwini yakho ukuba awukwazi ukulawula ukusela. Gwema ingxoxo engenzi lutho, engenangqondo kunye neyingozi Kuphephe ukuhleba, kuquka oko kumaphephancwadi okuzonwabisa nakwiinkqubo zikanomathotholo nakumabonwakude. Thetha kuphela xa kukho imfuneko — phulaphula ngakumbi.
Ukuba kukho bani ungazenziyo iimpazamo kwinto ayithethayo, uyindoda egqibeleleyo, enako ukuwubamba ngomkhala nawo umzimba uphela. (Yakobi 3: 2)
Cwangcisa kwaye uqeqeshe usuku lwakho kangangoko kunokwenzeka ukunqanda ukunyanzelwa. Fumana ukuphumla kwakho kunye nesondlo esifanelekileyo.
Zonke ezi ziindlela esinokuthi siwuphephe umcimbi osondeleyo wesono. Kwaye kufuneka, ukuba siza kuphumelela "idabi lokomoya".
INDLELA EMFUTSHANE
Kodwa mhlawumbi eyona ndlela inamandla yokuphepha isono yile: ukulandela ukuthanda kukaThixo, umzuzu nomzuzu. Ukuthanda kukaThixo kuqukethe iindlela ezihamba kwiLizwe loBomi, indawo enqabileyo yobuhle obuhlaza kunye nemifula efihliweyo, i-Ashera e-shaded, kunye neendawo ezinomdla ezikhokelela ekugqibeleni kwiNgqungquthela yoManyano kunye noThixo. Intlango yokuFa nokuphazamiseka ayithelekisi, kanye ngendlela ilanga elikhanyisa ngayo ibhalbhu.
Kodwa ezi ndlela iindlela ezimxinwa zokholo.
Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni; baninzi ke abangena ngalo. Ngokuba limxinwa isango, icuthene nendlela, esa ebomini; bambalwa ke abalifumanayo. (Mat. 7:13)
Uyayibona indlela anibizela ngayo ukuba abe nguKrestu?
Ewe! Phuma ehlabathini. Vumela inkohliso ichithwe. Inyaniso mayikukhulule: isono bubuxoki. Vumela umlilo kaThixo uvuthe entliziyweni yakho. Umlilo uthando. Xelisa uKristu. Landela abangcwele. Yibani ngcwele njengoko iNkosi ingcwele.
Kufuneka sizibone "singabaphambukeli nabaphambukeli"… eli hlabathi ayililo ikhaya lethu. Kodwa into esiyishiya ngasemva ayisiyonto xa ithelekiswa noko uThixo akugcinele abo bathabatha ezi ndlela zokuthanda kwakhe. UThixo akanakujongwa njengesisa! Unovuyo olungathethekiyo esilindeleyo nathi esinokulufumana ngokholo.
Izinto ezingabonwanga liso, nendlebe engazivanga, nentliziyo yomntu engamithanga, into uThixo ayilungisele abo bamthandayo (1 Cor 2: 9)
Okokugqibela, khumbula ukuba wena akakwazi phumelela eli dabi lokomoya ngaphandle koThixo. Sondela ke kuye ngomthandazo. Yonke imihla, kufuneka uthandaze ngokusuka entliziyweni, uchithe ixesha noThixo, umvumela ukuba afake umphefumlo wakho ngazo zonke izipho ozifunayo ukuze unyamezele. Njengoko iNkosi yethu yatsho,
Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UYohane 15: 5)
Ewe sithandaza ngentliziyo yethu yonke la mazwi kuMthetho woKhuphiswano:ngoncedo lobabalo lwaKho".
UMtyholi ufana nenja ekhohlakeleyo ebotshelelwe kwityathanga; ngaphaya kobude betyathanga akanakubamba mntu. Kwaye: gcina kude. Ukuba usondela kufutshane kakhulu, zivumele ubanjwe. Khumbula ukuba umtyholi unomnyango omnye kuphela wokungena emphefumlweni: intando. Akukho minyango ifihlakeleyo okanye ifihliweyo. —St. IPio yePietrelcina
