(Juwau 4:23) Mpostolo Paulu alemba: “Ale anakhala mwakubverana na manungo, ndzidzi onsene asanyerezera pinthu pinafuna manungo awo, mbwenye ale anakhala mwakubverana na nzimu wakucena, asanyerezera pinthu pya nzimu wakucena.” (Aroma 8:5) Munthu wakukola mwauzimu nee asaikha manyerezero ace ku pinthu pyakumanungo. M’mbuto mwace, asaikha manyerezero ace m’basa ya Yahova, pontho asacita pisankhulo pyadidi mu umaso wace. (Misangani 27:11; lerini Tiyago 1:2, 3.) Munthu wakukola mwauzimu nee asakwatika toera kucita pinthu pyakuipa, mbwenye asadziwa pinthu pyadidi, pontho ndzidzi onsene ali dzololo toera kupicita.

11 Pisaphemba kuwangisira toera kukhala wakukola mwauzimu. Mpostolo Paulu alemba: “Cakudya cakuuma ndi ca Ahebheri 5:14) Fala yakuti “apfundza” pisaticitisa kunyerezera munthu anakhunganyika toera kucita mapika.
anthu akukola mwauzimu, ale akuti kubulukira mukuphatisira luso yawo yakudzindikira, apfundza kusiyanisa cinthu cadidi na cakuipa.” (12 Tingaona munthu mbakacita mapika akuthamanga, tisadziwa kuti akwata ndzidzi uzinji mbakapfundza, pontho awangisira kakamwe toera akulise luso yace. Iye nee abalwa ninga nyamapika. Mwana angabalwa, nee asadziwa kuphatisira mwadidi miyendo na mikono yace. Mbwenye mukupita kwa ndzidzi, mwapang’ono pang’ono iye asapfundza kuphata pinthu, pontho asapfundza kufamba. Iye asapfundza mbadzakhala nyamapika. Munjira ibodzi ene, pisakwata ndzidzi, pontho tisafunika kupfundza toera kukhala munthu wakukola mwauzimu.

13 M’bukhu ino taona kuti tinakwanisa tani kunyerezera ninga Yahova na kuona pinthu ninga munapionera iye. Tapfundzambo kuti tinafuna tani, pontho tinapasa tani ntengo midida ya Yahova. Tingafuna kucita pisankhulo tisabvundzika: ‘Ndi n’dida upi wa m’Bhibhlya wakuti unakwanisa kutiphedza? Ndinaphatisira tani n’dida unoyu? Kodi Yahova asafuna kuti ndicitenji?’—Lerini Misangani 3:5, 6; Tiyago 1:5.
14. Tisafunika kucitanji toera kuwangisa cikhulupiro cathu?

15 Panango munthu anakwanisa kukhala wamphambvu na wa ungumi wadidi, mbwenye toera kupitiriza kukhala wakuwanga, iye asadziwa kuti asafunika kupitiriza kutsalakana mwadidi ungumi wace. Munjira ibodzi ene, munthu wakukola mwauzimu asadziwa kuti asafunika kuwangisira toera kukhala na uxamwali wakuwanga na Yahova. Paulu aticenjeza: “Pitirizani kuonesesa khala muciri akuwanga mu cikhulupiro; pitirizani kudingika mwekhene toera mudziwe kuti ndimwe anthu a ntundu wanji.” (2 Akorinto 13:5) Natenepa, tisafunika kupitiriza kuwangisa cikhulupiro cathu. Kufuna kwathu Yahova pabodzi na abale na alongo athu kusafunika kupitirize kukula. Paulu alonga: “Ndingakhala na . . . cidziwiso consene, pontho ndingakhala na cikhulupiro cakuwanga cakuti mbidakwanisa kuthukusa naco mapiri, mbwenye mbandisowa ufuni, ndine wakusowa basa.”—1 Akorinto 13:1-3.
WANGISANI CIDIKHIRO CANU
16. Sathani asafuna kuti tinyerezerenji?
16 Sathani asafuna kuti tinyerezere kuti cipo tinakwanisa kucita pinthu pyadidi toera kukomeresa Yahova. Iye asafuna kutifewesa manungo mbatinyerezera kuti nyatwa zathu cipo zinadzamala. Iye nee asafuna kuti ife tinyindire abale athu, pontho nee asafuna kuti tikhale akutsandzaya. (Aefesi 2:2) Sathani asadziwa kuti tinganyerezera pinthu pyakuipa tinaluza uxamwali wathu na Mulungu. Mbwenye Yahova atipasa cinthu toera kuthimbana na manyerezero akuipa. Iye atipasa cidikhiro.
17. Thangwi yanji cidikhiro ndi cakufunika?
17 Lemba ya 1 Atesalonika 5:8, isalandanisa cidikhiro cathu na capeu ca utale cinatsidzikiza nsolo wa nyankhondo, Bhibhlya isalonga capeu ceneci ninga “cidikhiro ca cipulumuso.” Kukhala na cidikhiro ku mapikiro a Yahova kunakwanisa kutsidzikiza ndzeru zathu, pontho kunatiphedza kukunda manyerezero akuipa.
18, 19. Cidikhiro cawangisa tani Yezu?
18 Cidikhiro caphedza Yezu toera kukhala wakuwanga. Ntsiku yakumalisa, Yezu mbadzati kuphiwa, iye athimbana na pinentso pyakusiyana-siyana. Xamwali wace wapantima ansandukira. Unango alonga kuti nee asandziwa. Anango ansiya mbathawa. Anthu akuti akhali a mu dziko ibodzi ene na iye aphemba toera athabuswe mpaka kuphiwa. Mphapo, ninji cidaphedza Yezu toera kupirira nyatwa zenezi zonsene? “Thangwi ya kutsandzaya kudaikhwa patsogolo pace, iye apirira pamuti wakusikimizira, apwaza manyadzo, pontho cincino iye akhala pantsi kukhundu yamadyo ya mpando waumambo wa Mulungu.”—Ahebheri 12:2.
19 Yezu akhadziwa kuti angakhala wakukhulupirika, mbadapasa mbiri babace, pontho mbadapangiza kuti Sathani ndi nyauthambi. Cidikhiro ceneci catsandzayisa kakamwe Yezu. Iye akhadziwambo kuti mwakukhonda dembuka mbadakhala pontho na Babace kudzulu. Cidikhiro ceneci cam’phedza toera kupirira. Ninga Yezu, tisafunika kuikha manyerezero ku cidikhiro cathu. Pyenepi pinatiphedza kupirira mwakukhonda tsalakana pinafuna kuthimbana na ife.
20. Ninji cinafuna kukuphedzani toera kunyerezera pinthu pyadidi?
20 Yahova asaona cikhulupiro canu, na kupirira kwanu. (Izaiya 30:18; lerini Malakiya 3:10.) Iye apikira kukwanirisa ‘pinafuna ntima wanu.’ (Masalmo 37:4) Natenepa, pitirizani kunyerezera pidapikira Yahova kuna imwe. Sathani asafuna kuti muluze cidikhiro, pontho munyerezere kuti pidapikira Yahova cipo pinakwanirisika. Pitirizani kukunda manyerezero akuipa! Mungadzindikira kuti mukuluza cidikhiro, phembani ciphedzo ca Yahova. Kumbukani mafala anagumanika pa Afilipi 4:6, 7: “Lekani kudzudzumika, nee na cinthu cibodzi, mbwenye mu pinthu pyonsene, dziwisani Mulungu maphembo anu kubulukira mu kucita phembero, kudembetera na kupereka takhuta; natenepa, ntendere wa Mulungu wakuti usapiringana kubvesesa konsene, unadzatsidzikiza mitima yanu na manyerezero anu kubulukira mwa Kristu Yezu.”
21, 22. (a) Kodi Yahova asafuna kuti dziko ikhale tani? (b) Muli dzololo toera kucitanji?
21 Khalani na ndzidzi toera kunyerezera pinthu pyakutsandzayisa pinafuna kucita Yahova ntsogolo. Mwakukhonda dembuka, anthu onsene anadzalambira Yahova. (Apokalipse 7:9, 14) Nyerezerani kuti umaso unakhala tani mu dziko ipswa. Unadzakhala wakutsandzayisa kakamwe kupiringana pinanyerezera ife! Sathani na madimonyo ace pabodzi na ale onsene anacita pinthu pyakuipa anadzafudzwa. Imwe nee munadzabva kupha, pontho nee munadzafa. Ntsiku zonsene munadzalamuka na mphambvu, pontho wakutsandzaya. Anthu onsene anadzaphata basa pabodzi, mbacinja dziko toera kukhala paraizu. Onsene anadzakhala na cakudya cadidi na mbuto yadidi toera kukhala. Nkhabe kudzaoneka munthu anacita pyauphanga peno kucita pinthu pyakuipa, mbwenye kunadzakhala basi ene anthu akukoma ntima akuti anadzacita pinthu pyadidi kuna unango na ndzace. Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, anthu onsene anakhala pa dziko yapantsi anadzatsandzaya “na ufulu wa mbiri ya ana a Mulungu.”—Aroma 8:21.
22 Yahova asafuna kuti imwe mukhale xamwali wace wapantima. Natenepa, ntsiku zonsene citani pyonsene pinakwanisa imwe toera kubvera Yahova, pontho toera kukhala xamwali wace. Inde, mphyakukwanisika kwa ife tonsene kupitiriza mu ufuni wa Mulungu kwenda na kwenda!—Yuda 21.
