UMTHETHO NEVANGELI
“Ngoba noma ubani ogcina wonke umthetho, kepha akhubeke ephuzwini elilodwa, unecala lakho konke”
EkaJakobe 2:10
Umthetho wokuziphatha awusibheki nakancane njengabantu ababuthakathaka, awubheki ufuzo nobuthakathaka bethu, ufuna ukuba sibe nokuziphatha okuphelele. Umthetho wokuziphatha awuguquki nakanye, kungaba ngomuhle kunabo bonke noma ngobuthakathaka kunabo bonke, uhlala ufana phakade futhi unomphela. Umthetho wokuziphatha owamiswe nguNkulunkulu awuzenzi buthakathaka ngenxa yababuthakathaka, awuzithetheleli iziphambeko zethu, uhlala ungophelele kuzo zonke izikhathi naphakade. Uma singakuqapheli lokhu, kungenxa yokuthi asiphili ngokugcwele; masinyane lapho sesiphila, ukuphila kuba inhlekelele. "Ngake ngaphila ngaphandle komthetho: kodwa lapho kufika umyalo, isono saphila futhi, mina ngafa." Lapho sikuqaphela lokhu, khona uMoya kaNkulunkulu usiqondisa ngecala lesono. Kuze kube yilapho umuntu efika lapho abone ukuthi alikho ithemba, isiPhambano sikaJesu Kristu siyinhlekisa kuye. Ukuqondiswa ngecala lesono kuhlale kuletha umuzwa owesabekayo obophayo womthetho, kwenza umuntu angabi nathemba — "ethengiswe ngaphansi kwesono." Mina, isoni esinecala, angisoze ngaba ngolungile noNkulunkulu, akunakwenzeka. Yinye kuphela indlela engingaba ngolungile ngayo noNkulunkulu, futhi ingukufa kukaJesu Kristu. Kumelwe ngilahle umqondo ocashile wokuthi ngingake ngibe ngolungile noNkulunkulu ngenxa yokulalela kwami — ubani kithi ongake alalele uNkulunkulu ngokuphelela okuphelele!
Amandla omthetho wokuziphatha siwaqaphela kuphela lapho uza negama elithi "uma." UNkulunkulu akalokothi asiphoqe. Kwesinye isimo sifisa sengathi angasenza siyenza leyo nto, futhi kwesinye isimo sifisa sengathi angasishiya sodwa. Noma nini lapho intando kaNkulunkulu ibusa, konke ukuphoqwa kuyaphela. Lapho sikhetha ngamabomu ukumlalela, khona uyobizela emsebenzini inkanyezi ekude kunazo zonke nohlamvu lokugcina lwesihlabathi ukuba kusisize ngawo wonke amandla aKhe uMninimandla onke.
