7, 8. Tento tebantfu lababili labete sono taholela njani emiphumeleni lengafanani?

⁷ Ngelutsandvo, Jehova uphe bantfu intfo letawubenta bancobe sono labasitfola ku-Adamu. Pawula watsi loko bekungenteka ngemuntfu loyedvwa lote sono—lokungu-Adamu wesibili. (1 Khor. 15:45) Nanobe kunjalo, tento talabantfu lababili labete sono tibe nemiphumela lengafanani. Ngayiphi indlela?—Fundza Roma 5:15, 16.

⁸ Pawula wabhala: “Sono sa-Adamu singeke silinganiswe nesipho saNkulunkulu semusa.” Bekufanele kutsi Adamu asolwe ngaloku, futsi watfola sehlulelo lesifanele—lokukufa. Nanobe kunjalo, akusiye yedvwa lobekatawufa. Siyafundza: “Ngesiphambuko semuntfu munye kwafa labanyenti.” Sehlulelo lesilungile lesaniketwa Adamu besisho kutsi kufanele kwentiwe lokufananako nakubo bonkhe bantfwana bakhe labanesono, labahlanganisa natsi. Nanobe kunjalo, sisengayitfola indvudvuto ngekwati kutsi Jesu, umuntfu lote sono, abengaveta umphumela lomuhle. Uyini lomphumela? Imphendvulo siyitfola emavini aPawula latsi: “[Bonkhe bantfu] bayakwentiwa balungelane naNkulunkulu ekuphileni.”—Rom. 5:18.

9. Njengobe kuvetiwe kubaseRoma 5:16, 18, yini Nkulunkulu labeyenta ngekutsi atsi bantfu balungile?

⁹ Ngumuphi umcondvo lofihlekile lotfolakala emavini esiGriki latsi ‘kutsiwe balungile’ kanye nalatsi “bayakwentiwa balungelane naNkulunkulu”? Lomunye umhumushi weliBhayibheli wabhala ngaloku: “Ngumfanekiso longekwemtsetfo lokwati kuchaza liphuzu lelifanana nelemtsetfo. Lana kukhulunywa ngelushintjo lolwenteka kumuntfu macondzana nebuhlobo bakhe naNkulunkulu, hhayi lushintjo lwangekhatsi lolwenteka kuye . . . Lomfanekiso uveta Nkulunkulu anjengelijaji leselifinyelele esincumeni lesivuna ummangalelwa. Kuba shengatsi uletfwe enkantolo yaNkulunkulu ngobe anelicala, kodvwa Nkulunkulu uyamkhulula.”

14, 15. Ngumuphi umvuzo lotawutfolwa ngulabo Nkulunkulu latsi balungile, kodvwa yini lokusadzingeka bayente?

¹⁴ Kutsetselelwa kwemuntfu sono lasitfole njengelifa kanye nebubi labenta kusipho lesihle kakhulu lesivela kuSomandla. Angeke sikwati kubala tonkhe tono umuntfu latenta asengakabi ngumKhristu. Nanobe kunjalo, ngesihlengo, Nkulunkulu angatitsetselela tonkhe. Pawula wabhala: ‘Sipho saNkulunkulu semusa sisusa tono letinyenti kube kulunga.’ (Rom. 5:16) Baphostoli kanye nalabanye bantfu labatfola lesipho lesijabulisako (sekuba ngulabalungile) bekufanele bachubeke bakhonta Nkulunkulu weliciniso ngekukholwa. Ngumuphi umvuzo wesikhatsi lesitako labebatawutfola? “Labo labemukela umusa lochichimako nesipho sekulunga bayawubusa ekuphileni ngemuntfu munye longuJesu Khristu.” Sipho sekulunga sisebenta ngendlela leyehlukile ngobe sona siletsa kuphila.—Rom. 5:17; fundza Lukha 22:28-30.
