Mtumwi Petulo anauza omvera ake kuti: “Lapani ndi kutembenuka.” Munthu wochimwa amene walapadi amamva chisoni kwambiri ndi zimene anachita. Amayesetsanso kuti asadzachitenso tchimolo. (2 Akor. 7:10, 11)  Munthu wotereyu ‘amatembenuka’ kapena kuti kusiya machimo akewo n’kuyamba kuchita zinthu zosangalatsa Mulungu. Kodi Petulo anauza anthuwo kuti akalapadi ndi kutembenuka, zotsatira zake zikhala zotani? Ananena kuti machimo awo ‘adzafafanizidwa.’ Mawu achigiriki amene anawamasulira kuti ‘kufafanizidwa’ akutanthauza ‘kufufuta kapena kupukuta.’ Yehova akakhululuka, zimakhala ngati watenga labala ndi kufufuta zolakwikazo.

Komabe mumtimamu ndinkaona kuti anthu ena ali pa ubwenzi wabwino ndi Yehova kusiyana ndi ineyo.” Koma Elaine analimbikitsidwa kwambiri atawerenga ndiponso kuganizira mawu a m’Baibulo amene amafotokoza mmene Yehova amakhululukira. Iye anati: “M’mbuyo monsemu, sindinamvepo kuti Yehova amandikonda ngati mmene ndikumvera panopa.” Iye analimbikitsidwa kwambiri ndi mfundo yakuti: “Yehova akatikhululukira machimo athu, tisamaganize kuti timakhala othimbirira ndi machimowo kwa moyo wathu wonse.” * Elaine anati: “Ndinazindikira kuti sindinkakhulupirira kuti Yehova angandikhululukire ndi mtima wonse.
