Baibulo limati: “N’zoona kuti nyumba iliyonse inamangidwa ndi winawake, koma amene anapanga zinthu zonse ndi Mulungu.” (Aheberi 3:4) Ngakhale kuti mawu a palembali ndi osavuta kumva, anthu ochuluka ophunzira kwambiri amaona kuti mfundo ya pavesili ndi yamphamvu. a
Anthufe mwachibadwa tili ndi mtima wofuna kudziwa cholinga cha moyo wathu. Mtima umenewu umatichititsa kuti tizimva ngati tili ndi njala inayake, osati yofuna kudya chakudya chenicheni, koma cha mtundu wina. Baibulo limanena kuti mtima umenewu ndi mbali ya “zosowa zathu zauzimu,” ndipo umatichititsa kuti tizifunitsitsa kumudziwa Mulungu komanso kumulambira. (Mateyu 5:3; Chivumbulutso 4:11) Mtima womwe tili nawowu ndi umboni wakuti Mulungu alipodi komanso kuti iyeyo ndi Mlengi wachikondi amene amafuna kuti ifeyo tikhale naye pa ubwenzi.—Mateyu 4:4.

Mwachitsanzo, kale anthu ambiri ankakhulupirira zoti dziko lapansili lili pamsana pa nyama inayake, monga njovu, nguluwe kapena ng’ombe. Mosiyana ndi zimenezi, Baibulo limati Mulungu “anakoloweka dziko lapansi m’malere.” (Yobu 26:7) Komanso Baibulo linanena molondola pa nkhani zokhudza mmene dziko lapansi lilili, kuti ndi “lozungulira.” (Yesaya 40:22) Anthu ambiri amakhulupirira kuti anthu amene analemba nawo Baibulowo ankadziwa zinthu zakuya zokhudzana ndi sayansi zimenezi chifukwa choti anauzidwa ndi Mulungu.

Payenera kukhala winawake amene anazisanja bwino chonchi. Ineyo sindimudziwa Mulungu. Komabe ndimakhulupirira mfundo yakuti pali winawake amene analenga zinthuzi, mosiyana ndi anthu amene amati chilengedwechi chinangokhalako chokha.”
