Iwo amati dzikoli ndi malo omwe Mulungu amangoyeserapo anthu kuti aone ngati ali oyenera kupita kumwamba kuti akakhale naye kwamuyaya. Ngati izi zili zoona, kodi sizikanakhala zomveka kunena kuti Mulungu ndi amene amachititsa zoipa zonse padzikoli? Zimenezi n’zosiyana kotheratu ndi makhalidwe a Mulungu. Baibulo limati: “Njira zake zonse ndi zolungama. Mulungu wokhulupirika, amene sachita chosalungama. Iye ndi wolungama ndi wowongoka.”​—Deuteronomo 32:4.

Baibulo limafotokoza momveka bwino za cholinga cha Mulungu pamene ankalenga dziko lapansi kuti: “Kunena za kumwamba, kumwamba ndi kwa Yehova, koma dziko lapansi analipereka kwa ana a anthu.” (Salimo 115:16) Mulungu analenga dzikoli kuti likhale lokongola n’cholinga choti pazikhala anthu.

“Kunena za kumwamba, kumwamba ndi kwa Yehova, koma dziko lapansi analipereka kwa ana a anthu.”​—Salimo 115:16

Popeza Mulungu ndi wachikondi komanso chilungamo, anakonza njira yotimasulira kuukapolo wa uchimo ndi imfa zimene tinatengera kuchokera kwa makolo athu. Mtumwi Paulo anati: “Malipiro a uchimo ndi imfa, koma mphatso imene Mulungu amapereka ndi moyo wosatha kudzera mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.” (Aroma 6:23) Mwachikondi, Mulungu “anapereka Mwana wake wobadwa yekha [Yesu Khristu], kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asawonongeke, koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha.” (Yohane 3:16) Pamene Yesu anadzipereka mofunitsitsa monga nsembe, anawombola zonse zimene Adamu anataya.a

Posachedwapa lonjezo la Mulungu loti dzikoli lidzakhala paradaiso likwaniritsidwa. Nanunso mukhoza kudzakhala nawo m’dziko limeneli ngati mutamvera mawu a Yesu akuti: “Lowani pachipata chopapatiza.

Koma chipata cholowera ku moyo n’chopapatiza komanso msewu wake ndi wopanikiza, ndipo amene akuupeza ndi owerengeka.” (Mateyu 7:13, 14) Choncho tsogolo lanu pa nkhaniyi likudalira zimene mungasankhe.
