Ariko rero, Imana ntitwarwa n’ibishobisho mu kubabarira abantu. Kandi ntiyigera ihindura ingingo ngenderwako zayo zigororotse. Ku bw’ivyo, hari ibicumuro itababarira.​—Yosuwa 24:19, 20.

Ivyiyumviro bitari vyo ku bijanye n’ikigongwe c’Imana

“Naracumuye cane ku buryo ntobabarirwa.”

Igihe cose duteye intambwe zivugwa mw’Ijambo ry’Imana, turababarirwa, nakare ibicumuro vyacu ntivyigera birengera ububasha Imana ifise bwo kubabarira. Irashobora kubabarira ivyaha bikomakomeye, eka mbere n’ivyaha vyakozwe kenshi.​—Yesaya 1:18.

Nk’akarorero, Umwami Dawidi wa Isirayeli yarababariwe icaha co kurenga ibigo no kwica. (2 Samweli 12:​7-​13) N’intumwa Paulo, uwiyumvira ko yari umucumuzi ruhebwa, yarababariwe. (1 Timoteyo 1:​15, 16) Mbere n’Abayuda bo mu kinjana ca mbere, abagirwa n’urupfu rwa Yezu, ari we Mesiya, Imana yarabababariye nimba barahinduye ingendo yabo.​—Ivyakozwe 3:​15, 19.

“Nireze kwa patiri canke nkavyaturira umukozi w’Imana, nca mbabarirwa.”

Nta muntu n’umwe afise ububasha bwo guharira ibicumuro vy’abantu. Naho kwaturira ivyaha uwundi muntu bishobora gutuma utekana, Imana yonyene ni yo ibababarira ivyaha.​—Abanyefeso 4:32; 1 Yohani 1:7, 9.

Nimba ari ukwo, none Yezu yashaka kuvuga iki igihe yabwira intumwa ngo: “Nimwababarira ibicumuro vy’abantu abo ari bo bose, bazoba babibabariwe; nimutababarira ibicumuro vy’abantu abo ari bo bose, bizoguma bitababariwe”? (Yohani 20:23) Yezu yariko yerekeza ku bubasha budasanzwe yohaye izo ntumwa ziwe zimaze kuronka impwemu nyeranda.​—Yohani 20:22.

Intumwa zararonse ubwo bubasha igihe zasukwako impwemu nyeranda mu mwaka wa 33 inyuma ya Kristu. (Ivyakozwe 2:​1-4) Intumwa Petero yarakoresheje ubwo bubasha igihe yacira urubanza Ananiya na Safira. Petero yaramenye ku gitangaro umugambi wabo mubi, kandi urwo baciriwe rwarerekanye ko batari babereye kubabarirwa.​—Ivyakozwe 5:​1-​11.

Intumwa zimaze gupfa, iyo ngabire yo kumenya ibintu ku gitangaro, cokimwe n’izindi ngabire nko gukiza indwara no kuvuga izindi ndimi, vyarahagaze. (1 Abakorinto 13:​8-​10) Ni co gituma muri iki gihe ata muntu afise ububasha bwo guharira ibicumuro.
