INTONI ngabo bangengomaKatolika okanye abangamaKristu? Ngaba bagwetyelwe?
Kukangaphi ndiva abantu besithi abanye babantu abalungileyo ababaziyo "abakholelwa kuTixo" okanye "abayi ecaweni." Kuyinyani, baninzi abantu "abalungileyo" phaya.
Kodwa akukho mntu ulunge ngokwaneleyo ukuba angene ezulwini yedwa.
INYANISO ISIKHULULELA
UYesu wathi,
Ngaphandle kokuba umntu azalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya, akanakungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo. (UYohane 3: 5)
Kungoko, njengoko u Yesu esibonisayo ngomzekelo wakhe eYordan, Ubhaptizo kuyimfuneko Usindiso. Yisakramente, okanye isimboli, esityhilela ubunyani obunzulu: ukuhlanjwa kwezono zakho egazini likaYesu, nokungcwaliselwa komphefumlo iqiniso. Oko kukuthi, umntu ngoku yamkela inyaniso kaThixo kwaye uyenza ukuba alandele loo nyaniso, ityhilwe ngokupheleleyo kwiCawa yamaKatolika.
Kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu onelungelo lokuva iVangeli ngenxa yejografi, imfundo, okanye ezinye izinto. Ngaba umntu onjalo ongevanga iVangeli okanye wabhaptizwa gwetywanga?
Waphendula uYesu wathi, "Ndim indlela, kunye nenyaniso, nobomi… "uYesu is inyani. Nanini na xa ubani elandela inyaniso entliziyweni yakhe, ngandlel 'ithile, balandela uYesu.
Kuba uKrestu wafela bonke… Wonke umntu ongayaziyo iVangeli kaKristu neyeCawe yakhe, kodwa efuna inyaniso enze ukuthanda kukaThixo ngokuyiqonda kwakhe, angasindiswa. Inokucingelwa ukuba abantu abanjalo baya kuba nayo unqwenela ubhaptizo ngokucacileyo ukuba babesazi ukuba kunyanzelekile. —1260, IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika
Mhlawumbi uKristu ngokwakhe wasinika umbono weli thuba xa wathi ngala madoda ayekhupha iidemon egameni lakhe, kodwa ayengamlandeli:
Nabani na ongachaseneyo nathi ungakuthi. (UMarko 9:40)
Abo bathi, ngaphandle kwephutha labo, abayazi iVangeli kaKristu okanye yeCawe yakhe, kodwa abafuna uThixo ngentliziyo enyanisekileyo, kwaye, beqhutywa lubabalo, bazama ngezenzo zabo ukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe njengoko bekwazi isazela sabo — nabo banakho ukufumana usindiso lwanaphakade. —847, CCC
LE VANGELI YOKONGA
Omnye unokuhendwa ukuba athi, "Kutheni uzikhathaza ngokushumayela iVangeli. Kutheni uzama ukuguqula nabani na?"
Ngaphandle kwento yokuba uYesu asiyalele ukuba…
Hambani ke ngoko niye kubenza abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke, nibabhaptiza… (Mt 28: 19-20)
… Kwakhona wathi,
Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni; baninzi ke abangena ngalo. Limxinwa kangakanani isango, icuthene nendlela, esa ebomini. Kwaye abo bayifumanayo bambalwa. (Mt 7: 13-14)
Ngokwamazwi kaKristu, "abo bakufumanayo ezimbalwa"" Ngelixa ithuba losindiso likhona kwabo bangengawo amaKrestu acacileyo, umntu angatsho ukuba amathuba ayehla kwabo baphila ngaphandle kwamandla nobomi kunye nokuguqula ubabalo lweeSakramente ezamiselwa nguYesu ngokwakhe-ngakumbi uBhaptizo, uMthendeleko noVumo. -Ukungcwaliswa nokusindiswa kwethu, oku akuthethi ukuba abantu abangengomaKatolika abasindiswanga, kodwa kuthetha iindlela eziqhelekileyo zobabalo uYesu awazibeka ngokucacileyo ukuba azisasaze. ngeCawa, zakhelwe kuPetros, azincedi nganto. Oku akunakushiya umphefumlo uhlelelekile?
Ndim isonka esiphilileyo, esi sehlayo emazulwini. Lowo usidlayo esi sonka, uya kuphila ngonaphakade. (UYohane 6:51)
Okanye ulambile?
Kukho iimeko apho iparashute yokuphambuka esibhakabhakeni isilele kwaye umntu wawa ngqo emhlabeni, kodwa wasinda! Inqabile, kodwa inokwenzeka. Kodwa bubudenge — hayi, njani ngokungakhathali ingangumqeqeshi wokuntywila esibhakabhakeni ukuba athi kwabo baqeqeshwayo xa bengena kwinqwelomoya, "Kukuwe ukuba uyayitsala intambo yokukrazula okanye hayi. Abanye abantu bayenzile ngaphandle kokuvulwa kweparashute. Andifuni ngokwenene ndibeke kuwe… "
Hayi, umyaleli, ngokuxelela abafundi inyani-njani iparashute ivulekile, umntu unenkxaso, unokukhwela umoya, aqondise inzala yakhe, kwaye umhlaba ukhuselekile kwikhaya-ubanike elona thuba libalaseleyo lokuphepha ukufa.
Ubhaptizo yintambo yokuqhekeza, iSakramente yinkxaso yethu, uMoya ngumoya, iLizwi likaThixo isikhokelo sethu, kunye neZulu likhaya lethu.
Icawa ngumyaleli, kwaye uYesu yiparashute.
Usindiso luyafumaneka enyanisweni. Abo bathobela ukukhuthazwa nguMoya wenyaniso sele besendleleni yosindiso. Kodwa iBandla, elinikwe le nyaniso, kufuneka liphume lihlangabeze umnqweno wabo, ukuze libazisele inyaniso. Kuba ekholelwa kwicebo likaThixo losindiso, iBandla kufuneka libe ngumthunywa wevangeli. —851, CCC
