⁸ UMtsetfo waMosi kanye netimiso tawo letinyenti, bewutilahla toni.Ngetulu kwaloko baphristi labakhulu baka-Israyeli labebekhonta ngephansi kweMtsetfo waMosi bebanesono futsi bebangakhoni kwenta umnikelo lowenele wesono. Ngaleyondlela, loMtsetfo ‘bewubutsakatsaka esimeni semvelo semuntfu.’ Kodvwa “ngenca yesono [Nkulunkulu] watfumela iNdvodzana yakhe,” futsi ngekunikela ngayo njengesihlengo, ‘wehlulela sono ebantfwini,’ ngaleyondlela, wancoba “loko-ke lokwehlula [uMtsetfo].” Umphumela waloko ube kutsi emaKhristu lagcotjiwe kutsiwe alungile ngesisekelo sekukholwa kwawo emhlatjelweni wesihlengo waJesu. Akhutsatwa kutsi ‘angahambi ngekwenyama, kepha ahambe ngemoya.’ (Fundza Roma 8:3, 4.) Kufanele etsembeke kute kube sekupheleni kwekuphila kwawo emhlabeni, nawenta kanjalo atawetfweswa “umchele wekuphila.”—Semb. 2:10.

10. Usitsintsa njani umtsetfo wesono kanye newekufa?

¹⁰ Umphostoli Pawula wabhala: “Sono sangena ngemuntfu munye emhlabeni, sangena nekufa, kufa kwase kwendlulela kubo bonkhe bantfu, njengobe bonkhe bonile.” (Rom. 5:12) Njengobe sonkhe sivela ku-Adamu, umtsetfo wesono kanye newekufa uyasitsintsa. Inyama yetfu lenesono ihlale isicindzetela kutsi sente tintfo letingamjabulisi Nkulunkulu, futsi umphumela waloko uba kufa. Encwadzini yakhe leya kubaseGalathiya, Pawula wabita tento kanye nemikhuba lenjalo ngekutsi ‘yimisebenti yenyama.’ Ngemuva kwaloko watsi: “Labenta letintfo bangeke balidle lifa lembuso waNkulunkulu.” (Gal. 5:19-21) Bantfu labanjena bafanana nalabo labahamba ngekwenyama. (Rom. 8:4) Bacondziswa nguloko inyama yabo lenesono lebatjela kona. Kodvwa bantfu labenta bundlundlulu, labakhonta titfombe, labasebentelana nemimoya, nobe labenta tono letenyanyekako kuphela yini labahamba ngekwenyama? Cha, ngobe imisebenti yenyama ihlanganisa netento bantfu labangase batitsatse njengemaphutsa lamancane—njengemona, lulaka, kucabana kanye nekuhawukela tintfo talabanye. Ngubani longatsi sewukhululeke ngalokuphelele ekuhambeni ngekwenyama?

¹² Simo setfu sifanana nesemuntfu lowelashelwa sifo lesibi. Nangabe sifuna kwelapheka ngalokugcwele, kufanele sente loko dokotela lasitjela kona. Nanobe kuba nekukholwa esihlengweni kungasikhulula emtsetfweni wesono kanye newekufa, sisenaso sono. Kunyenti lokudzingeka sikwente kute sibe nebuhlobo lobuhle naNkulunkulu futsi sitfole kwemukelwa nguye kanye netibusiso letivela kuye. Mayelana nekwenta “loko lokufunwa [nguMtsetfo],” Pawula uphindze akhulume ngendzaba yekuhamba ngemoya.

Singahamba Njani Ngemoya?

13. Kusho kutsini kuhamba ngemoya?

¹³ Nasihamba, sisuke siya endzaweni letsite nobe sifinyelela umgomo lesinawo. Ngako-ke, kuhamba ngemoya kusho kuchubeka sitfutfuka ngekwakamoya—akusho kungawenti emaphutsa. (1 Thim. 4:15) Malanga onkhe, kanye nangekuvumelana nemakhono etfu, kufanele sitimisele kuhamba nobe kuphila ngendlela levumelana nemoya. ‘Kuhamba ngemoya’ kuholela ekwemukelweni nguNkulunkulu.—Gal. 5:16.
