UMTHANDI KANKULUNKULU

*Roma 5:5(KJV);* nethemba alijabhisi; ngokuba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo. *UMTHANDI KANKULUNKULU* Uthando lwethu ngoNkulunkulu luchazwa wukukholwa kwethu kuye hhayi ngezinto esizenzayo ngamandla ethu ukukhombisa lolo thando. Lapho umuntu ekholelwa kakhulu kuNkulunkulu, yilapho emthanda nakakhulu ngoba ngokholo, sithobela uMoya kaNkulunkulu osenza simthande. Lapho uzinikela kakhulu kuNkulunkulu ngokholo, yilapho esebenzelana kakhulu nenhliziyo yakho, uyayisoka, kuze kube yilapho ususabela ngokwengeziwe ekuholeni Kwakhe, entandweni Yakhe nasezinjongweni Zakhe. KumaHeberu 11:6, uthi, “Kepha ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukumthokozisa, ngokuba ozayo kuNkulunkulu umelwe ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona nokuthi ungumvuzi walabo abamfunayo. Siyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala kodwa uthando lwethu ngaye lubonakaliswa ngokukholwa ngoba wonke oza kuye kumele akholwe ukuthi ukhona. UNkulunkulu ufuna ukuthi uzikhiphe emisebenzini oyenzile ukufakazela ukuthi uyamthanda futhi wamukele ukholo njengesinyathelo sokuqala sokuthanda uNkulunkulu. Akukho okwenzayo noma ongakwenzi okunganciphisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngawe. Ngendlela efanayo, akukho okwenzayo noma ongakwenzi okungafakazela kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uyamthanda, ukholo lwakho kuphela olwenzayo futhi lapho ukholo lujula, lukhula ukujula kothando.
