Zimene Lemba la Mika 6:8 Limatanthauza
Mneneri Mika anafotokoza kuti kusangalatsa Yehova a Mulungu si kovuta kwambiri kwa anthufe. (1 Yohane 5:3) Vesili likufotokoza mfundo zitatu zofunika kwambiri zimene Mulungu amayembekezera kuti anthufe tizichita. Mfundo ziwiri zoyambirira zikufotokoza mmene tiyenera kuchitira zinthu ndi anthu ena, pamene mfundo yachitatu ikukhudza ubwenzi umene tiyenera kukhala nawo ndi Mulungu.
“Uzichita chilungamo.” Mulungu amafuna kuti anthu amene amamulambira azichita zinthu mwachilungamo. Zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti tiziganiza ndi kuchita zinthu mogwirizana ndi mfundo za Mulungu zotithandiza kusiyanitsa chabwino ndi choipa. (Deuteronomo 32:4) Mwachitsanzo, anthu amene amatsatira mfundo za Mulungu amayesetsa kuchitira anthu onse zinthu moona mtima komanso mopanda tsankho, posatengera kumene akuchokera, mtundu wawo komanso kuti ndi olemera kapena osauka.—Levitiko 19:15; Yesaya 1:17; Aheberi 13:18.
“Ukhale wokoma mtima.” Palemba la Mika 6:8, mawu a Chiheberi akuti “ukhale wokoma mtima,” angamasuliridwenso kuti “uzikonda chikondi chokhulupirika.” Mu Chiheberi choyambirira mawu akuti “kukhulupirika” samangotanthauza kukhala wokhulupirika kwa anthu omwe timawakonda koma angatanthauzenso kuwachitira zinthu mokoma mtima komanso mwachifundo, kutanthauza kuti tiyenera kuwachitira zambiri. Mulungu amafuna kuti anthu omwe amafuna kumusangalatsa asamangosonyeza ena chifundo ndi kukoma mtima koma azikondanso makhalidwe amenewa. Zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti anthu amene amamulambira ayenera kumasangalala pothandiza ena, makamaka amene akufunikira kuthandizidwa. Kupatsa n’kumene kumatithandiza kukhala osangalala.—Machitidwe 20:35.
“Uziyenda modzichepetsa ndi Mulungu wako.” M’Baibulo mawu akuti “kuyenda,” angatanthauze “kutsatira njira inayake yochitira zinthu.” Munthu amasonyeza kuti akuyenda ndi Mulungu akamachita zinthu zimene Mulungu amasangalala nazo. Chitsanzo chabwino pa nkhaniyi ndi Nowa. Iye “anayenda ndi Mulungu woona” chifukwa anali wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu ndipo “anali wopanda cholakwa pakati pa anthu a m’nthawi yake.” (Genesis 6:9) Masiku ano anthufe ‘timayenda ndi Mulungu’ tikamachita zinthu mogwirizana ndi zimene tikuphunzira m’Mawu a Mulungu, Baibulo. Kuti zimenezi zitheke, tifunika kukhala odzichepetsa n’kumakumbukira kuti patokha sitingakwanitse kuchita zinthu zonse, koma timadalira Mulungu kuti azitithandiza pa chilichonse.—Yohane 17:3; Machitidwe 17:28; Chivumbulutso 4:11.
