Nkulunkulu Ufuna Ube Nebuhlobo Naye

LOKUBANGELA LABANYE BANGABATE: Bantfu labanyenti labakholelwa kuNkulunkulu abativa basondzele kuye. Lomunye make wase-Ireland lobitwa ngekutsi nguChristina, lobekaya esontfweni njalo ngeliviki, utsi: “Nkulunkulu bengimtsatsa ngekutsi nguye lowadala tonkhe tintfo. Kodvwa bengingamati. Angizange ngisho nakanye ngitive ngisondzelene naye.”

LOKO LOKUFUNDZISWA LIVI LANKULUNKULU: Nasitiva silahliwe, Jehova akayekeli kusisita. Nayi indlela Jesu lafanisa ngayo indlela Nkulunkulu lasinakekela ngayo: “Nangabe indvodza letsite inetimvu letilikhulu bese yinye yato iyalahleka, ngeke yini itishiye etintsabeni leti letingemashumi layimfica nemfica, ihambe iyewufuna lena lelahlekile?” Sifundzani kuloku? “Ngendlela lefanako, Babe losezulwini akafisi kutsi kubhubhe ngisho namunye kulaba labanjengebantfwana.”​—Matewu 18:12-14.

Ngamunye “kulaba labanjengebantfwana” uligugu kuNkulunkulu. Nkulunkulu ‘umfuna njani loyo lolahlekile’? Ngekusho kwembhalo locashunwe ekucaleni, Jehova udvonsela bantfu kuye.

Naka kutsi Nkulunkulu wasitsatsa njani sinyatselo kucala sekudvonsela bantfu labacotfo kuye. Ngelikhulu lekucala C.E., Nkulunkulu watfumela Filiphu, umfundzi longumKhristu kutsi asondzele enkalishini yendvuna yesigodlo saseTopiya futsi acoce nayo ngenchazelo yesiphrofetho seliBhayibheli lebeyisifundza. (Imisebenti 8:26-39) Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, Nkulunkulu wacondzisa umphostoli Phetro kutsi avakashele likhaya laKhoneliyuse, indvuna yelibutfo laseRoma, lebekasolo athantaza futsi etama kukhonta Nkulunkulu. (Imisebenti 10:1-48) Nkulunkulu waphindze wacondzisa umphostoli Pawula kanye nalabo labekanye nabo kutsi baye emfuleni lowawungephandle kwelidolobha laseFiliphi. Nabefika lapho, batfola ‘sikhonti saNkulunkulu,’ lobekutsiwa nguLidiya, futsi “Jehova wavula inhlitiyo yakhe kute inake.”​—Imisebenti 16:9-15.

Endzabeni ngayinye, Jehova wacinisekisa kutsi labo lebebamfuna bayalitfola litfuba lekumati. Bobani lamuhla labaya kubantfu emakhaya abo nasetindzaweni tawonkhe wonkhe kuze bacoce nabo ngaloko liBhayibheli lelikushoko ngaNkulunkulu? Bantfu labanyenti bangaphendvula ngekutsi “BoFakazi BaJehova.” Tibute: ‘Kungenteka yini kutsi Nkulunkulu usebentisa bona kuze angisite ngibe nebuhlobo naye?’ Sikukhutsata kutsi uthantaze kuNkulunkulu kuze akusite wemukele imetamo layentako yekukudvonsela kuye.a
