UKHIYE WOMLAYEZO WESITHUNYWA SEVANGELI
“Futhi Yena ungumhlatshelo wenhlawulo yezono zethu: futhi hhayi ezethu zodwa, kodwa futhi nangezono zezwe lonke.”
1 KaJohane 2:2
Ukhiye womlayezo wesithunywa sevangeli ngumhlatshelo wenhlawulo kaKristu Jesu. Thatha noma yisiphi isigaba somsebenzi kaKristu — isigaba sokuphulukisa, isigaba sokusindisa nokungcwelisa; akukho okungenamkhawulo ngalezo zigaba. "IWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono sezwe!" — lokho akunamkhawulo. Umlayezo wesithunywa sevangeli ukubaluleka kukaJesu Kristu okungenamkhawulo njengomhlatshelo wenhlawulo yezono zethu, futhi isithunywa sevangeli singumuntu ocwiliswe kuleso sambulo.
Ukhiye womlayezo wesithunywa sevangeli yisici sokuphila kukaKristu esiphathelene nokwesulwa kwezono, hhayi umusa waKhe nokulunga kwaKhe, nokwembula kwaKhe ububaba bukaNkulunkulu; ukubaluleka okukhulu okungenamkhawulo kusekutheni Yena ungumhlatshelo wenhlawulo yezono zethu. Umlayezo wesithunywa sevangeli awuwona owokushisekela izwe, awuncikile ezizweni noma kubantu ngabanye, ungowomhlaba wonke. Lapho uMoya oNgcwele engena akakunaki engikuthandayo, ungiletha ebunyeni neNkosi uJesu.
Isithunywa sevangeli singumuntu oshade nesimiso seNkosi noMphathi wakhe, akumelwe amemezele umbono wakhe siqu, kodwa amemezele iWundlu likaNkulunkulu. Kulula ukuba seqenjini elikhethekile elikhuluma ngalokho uJesu Kristu angenzele khona, kulula ukuba ngumlandeli wokuphulukisa kwaphezulu, noma uhlobo olukhethekile lokungcweliswa, noma umbhapathizo kaMoya oNgcwele. UPawulu akashongo ukuthi — "Maye kimi, uma ngingashumayeli lokho uKristu angenzele khona," kodwa — "Maye kimi, uma ngingalishumayeli ivangeli." Leli yiVangeli — "IWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa isono sezwe!"
