ABAFILEYO ABAZI LUTHO

Abafileyo Abazi Lutho”

UmShumayeli 9:5

Ngokuba abaphilayo bayazi ukuthi bayakufa, kepha abafileyo abazi lutho, futhi abasenawo umvuzo, ngokuba ukukhunjulwa kwabo sekukhohlakele.

Ukubonisana nabafileyo kuphambene nemfundiso yeBhayibheli ngabafileyo. Nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi kukhona ukuphila ngemva kokufa kwabakholwayo nabangewona amakholwa, kodwa akukho buhlobo phakathi kwabaphilayo nabafileyo. Labo abafa kuKristu bayoba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Bayoqhubeka bephila noNkulunkulu phakade

Luka 23:43

Wathi kuso: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Namuhla uzakuba nami eParadisi.

 KwabaseFilipi 1:21-23

Ngokuba kimina ukuphila kunguKristu, ukufa kuyinzuzo. Kepha uma ukuphila enyameni kuyisithelo somsebenzi kimi, angisakwazi engizakukukhetha. Kepha ngiphakathi kokubili; nginesifiso sokumuka ngibe noKristu, ngokuba yikhona okuhle kakhulu;

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abangakholwayo bayohlukaniswa noNkulunkulu

Luka 16:22-26

belinde isahlulelo sabo sokugcina.

Ngaphandle kwalokho,

uJobe 7:7-10 uthi “owehlela ethuneni akabuyi. Akasoze aphinde abuyele endlini yakhe.”  Ngakho-ke, ukufa kuyisiphetho, futhi ngemva kokufa akekho ongabuyela kulokhu kuphila.

Ukufa kuyisiphetho, futhi ngemva kokufa akekho ongabuyela kulokhu kuphila

Ngakho-ke ayikho indlela abafileyo abangadlulisela ngayo izidingo zabaphilayo kuNkulunkulu. Futhi abakwazi ukufinyelela abaphilayo.

ULuka 16:19-31

wethula indaba esingasebenzisa kuyo amaqiniso ngokuphila ngemva kokufa. Isintu sihlukaniswe ngamaqembu amabili ekufeni. Abafileyo abakwazi ukubuyela kwabaphilayo ngoba kukhona umhosha omkhulu phakathi kwabo. Uma sonile othile, futhi lowo muntu efa, njengamaKristu ngicabanga ukuthi kufanelekile futhi kuyavumelana neBhayibheli ukufuna ngokuthobeka ukuthula ngokucela intethelelo emndenini wabangasekho. Kodwa asikho isidingo sokwesaba abafileyo.

“Abafileyo Abazi Lutho” (UmShumayeli 9:5)

Ukubonisana nabafileyo kuphambene nemfundiso yeBhayibheli ngabafileyo. Nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi kukhona ukuphila ngemva kokufa kwabakholwayo nabangewona amakholwa, akukho buhlobo phakathi kwabaphilayo nabafileyo. Labo abafa kuKristu bayoba phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Bayoqhubeka bephila noNkulunkulu phakade (Luka 23:43, KwabaseFilipi 1:21-23). ​​Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abangakholwayo bayohlukaniswa noNkulunkulu (Luka 16:22-26), belinde isahlulelo sabo sokugcina. Ngaphandle kwalokho, uJobe 7:7-10 uthi “owehlela ethuneni akabuyi. Akasoze aphinde abuyele endlini yakhe.” Ngakho-ke, ukufa kungokokugcina, futhi ngemva kokufa akekho ongabuyela kulokhu kuphila.

Ukufa kungokokugcina, futhi ngemva kokufa akekho ongabuyela kulokhu kuphila

Ngakho-ke ayikho indlela abafileyo abangadlulisela ngayo izidingo zabaphilayo kuNkulunkulu. Futhi abakwazi ukufinyelela abaphilayo.  ULuka 16:19-31 wethula indaba esingase sithole kuyo amaqiniso ngokuphila ngemva kokufa. Isintu sihlukaniswe ngamaqembu amabili lapho sifa. Abafileyo abakwazi ukubuyela kwabaphilayo ngoba kukhona umhosha omkhulu phakathi kwabo. Uma simonile othile, bese lowo muntu efa, njengamaKristu ngicabanga ukuthi kufanelekile futhi kuyavumelana neBhayibheli ukufuna ngokuthobeka ukuthula ngokucela intethelelo emndenini wabafileyo. Kodwa asikho isidingo sokwesaba abafileyo.

“Ungazenzeli Isithombe” (Eksodusi 20:4)

Ukubonisana nabafileyo kuwukungalaleli uNkulunkulu. Engxoxweni yami nabanye abantu ngale ndaba, abanye bacaphuna u-1 Samuweli 28 ukuze basekele umbono wokuthi abafileyo bangakhuluma nabaphilayo. Kuleyo ndaba, umoya kaSamuweli ukhuluma noSawule ophilayo. Kodwa lokhu kungabhekwa njengento engavamile, hhayi umkhuba ovamile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akufanele siphuthelwe iphuzu lombhalo, otholakala kumongo wawo: uSawule wayeqhubeka nokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu.

Ukubonisana nabafileyo kungenye yezikhali uSathane angayisebenzisa ukuhlasela ukholo lwethu

Njengoba ngishilo ngenhla, imimoya emibi ingathola izindlela zokusikhohlisa ukuze singalaleli. USawule kwakufanele afune iseluleko kuNkulunkulu, kodwa uNkulunkulu wenqaba ngenxa yokungalaleli kwakhe okwandayo. Imiphumela yaba yinhlekelele (1 IziKronike 10:13-14). Akufanele sivumele uSathane ukuthi athathe izintambo. Ngoba njalo lapho sona asigcini nje ngokulalela uNkulunkulu kodwa sinika uSathane indawo yokuba namandla phezu kwethu. Ngakho-ke kufanele sazi ukuthi ukubonisana nabafileyo kungenye yezikhali uSathane angasebenzisa ukuhlasela ukholo lwethu.

Awudingi Abafileyo Ukuze Bafinyelele KuNkulunkulu

Akukho lutho olungalungile ekufuneni isiqondiso, izibusiso, ubudlelwano, kanye nokuvikelwa ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke. Kodwa izindlela zokufuna lezi zinto kumele zibe zifanele; zilungiswe futhi zifundiswe yizwi likaNkulunkulu. Sisondela kuBaba wethu osezulwini ngomlamuleli oyedwa kuphela, uJesu Kristu. UNkulunkulu uyala abantu bakhe ukuba bangabonisi abafileyo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimo zinjani. Esikhundleni salokho simenyiwe ukuba sibuze uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe. Ngempela uyangeneka futhi unobuhlobo.

UNkulunkulu wenza isivumelwano nomuntu. Njengoba uMichael Horton ebhala, encwadini ethi The Christian Faith, “uNkulunkulu ungumuntu siqu hhayi isimiso esingacacile”. UNkulunkulu ufisa ubudlelwano nathi. Yingakho eza ukuhlala phakathi kwethu ngeNdodana yakhe uJesu. Ngakho-ke uma siswele siyakwazi ukubonisana naye ngokukhululeka. UKristu uyalamulela, noMoya wenza njalo, esinikeza kuBaba wethu.
