EBhayibhileni igama lesiGrike elidla ngokuguqulelwa ngokuthi “ukunyaniseka” ngokoqobo lithetha “eyona nto ilunge ngokwenene.” Lisenokuthetha ukujonga izinto ngendlela efanelekileyo.

AmaKristu awathatha nzulu amazwi aphefumlelweyo kampostile uPawulos athi: “Sinqwenela ukuziphatha ngokunyaniseka kwizinto zonke.” Kodwa kubandakanya ntoni oko?

Ntsasa nganye uninzi lwabantu luye luzijonge espilini. Ngoba? Ukuze lubone ukuba luyafaneleka na. Kodwa kukho into ebaluleke lee kunenkangeleko yeenwele okanye isinxibo sala maxesha. Inkangeleko yethu yangaphandle enyanisweni ityhila oko sikuko ngaphakathi.

ILizwi likaThixo liyavuma ukuba kulula ngathi ukwenza okubi. IGenesis 8:21 ithi: “Intliziyo yomntu ityekele ebubini kwasebutsheni bakhe.” Ngoko ke, ukuze sinyaniseke sifanele silwe nzima nokungafezeki esazalwa nako. Umpostile uPawulos wawuchaza ngokucacileyo lo mlo kwimeko yakhe ngokuthi: “Ngokwenene ndiyayoliswa ngumthetho kaThixo ngokomntu endinguye ngaphakathi, kodwa ndibona omnye umthetho emalungwini am usilwa nomthetho wengqondo yam yaye undithimbela emthethweni wesono osemalungwini am.”—Roma 7:22, 23.

Ngokomzekelo, xa iintliziyo zethu zisitsalela ekwenzeni okubi kwaye kulula ngathi ukunganyaniseki, asifanele sibe ngamakhoboka eentliziyo zethu. Sisenokwenza ukhetho. Xa sikhetha ukuziphepha iingcinga ezimbi sinokuhlala sinyanisekile phezu kwako nje ukunganyaniseki okukhoyo.

Ukuze sinyaniseke sifanele siziphathe kakuhle. Ngelishwa abantu bachitha ixesha elininzi begqiba ngendlela abafanele “banxibe ngayo” kunokuba bacinge ngendlela yokuziphatha. Ngoko basoloko bekuthethelela ukunganyiseki kwabo. Incwadi ethi, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty ithi: “Singade sixoke kuba nje sifuna ukukhusele indlela esijongwa ngayo.” Noko ke, ngaba ukho umlinganiselo onokusinceda sazi ukuba kunini apho bamkelekileyo ubuxoki? Ngethamsanqa ukho.

Izigidi zabantu ehlabathini lonke, ziye zancedwa yiBhayibhile. IBhayibhile inemigaqo emihle engenakuthelekiswa nanto. (INdumiso 19:7) Isinika ukhokelo esinokulithemba, kwimicimbi yeentsapho, umsebenzi, ukuziphatha, nezinto zobuthixo. Ibisoloko ikho nangamaxesha obunzima. Imithetho nemigaqo yayo iluncedo kuzo zonke, iintlanga, iilwimi, nezizwe. Xa sifunda, sicamngca  ngoko ikuthethayo, kwaye sisebenzisa amacebiso ayo, sinokuqeqesha iintliziyo zethu ukuze zinyaniseke.

Sekunjalo, kufuneka senze okungakumbi kunokufumana nje ulwazi oluchanileyo lweBhayibhile ukuze siliphumelele eli dabi lokunganyaniseki. Ngapha koko, siphila kwihlabathi eliziphethe kakubi nelisinyanzela ukuba samkele iindlela zalo ezingaphucukanga. Yiloo nto kubalulekile ukuba sithandaze sicele uncedo nenkxaso kaThixo. (Filipi 4:6, 7, 13) Ngokwenjenjalo, siya kuba nesibindi sokwenza oko kulungileyo size sihlale sinyanisekile kwizinto zonke.

UHitoshi ekuthethwe ngaye kwinqaku elingaphambili wavuzwa ngokunyaniseka kwakhe. Ngoku usebenzela umqeshi omxabisayo. Uthi: “Ndiyabulela kuba ndiye ndafumana umsebenzi ondenza ndibe nesazela esicocekileyo.”

Nabanye bayavumelana noku. Makhe sithethe ngemizekelo yabo baye bavuzwa ngokuthobela umgaqo weBhayibhile othi, ‘ziphathe ngokunyaniseka kwizinto zonke.’
