Izithembiso ZikaThixo
Ugqirha unamathuba amahle kakhulu okukhokelela izigulana zakhe kwizithembiso zelizwi likaThixo. Kufuneka akhuphe kuvimba izinto ezintsha nezindala, athethe apha naphaya amazwi entuthuzelo nemfundiso elangazelelwayo. Ugqirha makayenze ingqondo yakhe uvimba weengcinga ezintsha. Makalifunde ngenkuthalo ilizwi likaThixo, ukuze aqhelane nezithembiso zalo. Makafunde ukuwaphindaphinda amazwi athuthuzelayo awathethwa nguKristu ngexesha lolungiselelo lwaKhe lwasemhlabeni xa wayenika izifundo zaKhe ephilisa abagulayo. Kufuneka athethe ngemisebenzi yokuphilisa eyenziwa nguKristu, ngobubele kunye nothando. Akufuneki aze akutyeshele ukuzikhokelela iingqondo zezigulana zakhe kuKristu, uGqirha oyiNtloko.UL 82.2
Kwawona la mandla uKristu wawasebenzisayo xa wayehamba ebonwa phakathi kwabantu aselizwini laKhe. Kwakungelizwi laKhe awathi uYesu waphilisa isifo wakhupha iidemon; ngelizwi laKhe wathulisa ulwandle wavusa abafileyo, baza abantu bangqina ukuba ilizwi laKhe lalinamandla. Wathetha ilizwi likaThixo, njengoko wayethethile kubo bonke abaprofeti nabafundisi beTestamente eNdala. IBhayibhile yonke isisityhilelo sikaKristu.UL 82.3
IziBhalo kufuneka zamkelwe njengelizwi likaThixo eliza kuthi, lingabhalwanga nje kuphela, kodwa likwathethiwe. Xa abo babandezelweyo babesiza kuKristu, akazange abone kuphela abo bacela uncedo, kodwa bonke abo bathi, kuwo onke amaphakade beze kuYe benentswelo efanayo kwanokholo olufanayo. Xa wayesithi kongumlwelwe, “Mntwana wam, yomelela; zixolelwe izono zakho;” xa wayesithi kwintokazi yaseKarpernahum, “Yomelela, ntombi yam, ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile; hamba ngoxolo,” wayethetha nakwabanye ababandezelweyo, abanomthwalo wesono, ababeya kufuna uncedo lwaKhe. Mateyu 9:2; Luka 8:48.UL 83.1
Kunjalo ngazo zonke izithembiso zelizwi likaThixo. Kuzo uthetha nathi ngabanye, ethetha ngokutsolileyo ngokungathi sinako ukuliphulaphula ilizwi laKhe. Zezi zithembiso athi uKristu azidlulisele ngazo kuthi ubabalo namandla waKhe. Zingamagqabi asuka emthini “engawokuphilisa iintlanga.” IsiTyhilelo 22:2. Xa athe afunyanwa, etyiswa, aya kuba ngamandla esimilo, impembelelo nenkxaso yobomi. Ayikho enye into enamandla anjalo okuphilisa. Ayikho ngaphandle kwawo enokunika ukuqina nokholo okunika amandla empiliso kumzimba uwonke.UL 83.2
