Mbwenye toera Yahova atawire ntsembe zenezi, cinyama nee cikhafunika kukhala cakulamala. (Levitiko 22:18-20) Munjira ibodzi ene, pinthu pinango pinacitisa kuti ulambiri wathu ukhale wakukhonda tawirika kuna Yahova. Kodi pyenepi pinakwanisika tani?

(Deuteronomyo 15:21) Ulambiri wathu nee unakhala wakucena tingacita pinthu pinaida Yahova, ninga ulukwali, uphanga, peno kukhulupira mizimu. (Aroma 6:12-14; 8:13) Pontho tingakomerwa na pinthu pyenepi tinatsukwalisa Yahova.

Ndisakhala na ntendere wa m’manyerezero na cikumbuntima cakucena? (Aefesi 5:5; 1 Timoti 1:5, 19) Ndisakhala wakusudzuka toera kucita phembero kuna Yahova? Peno ndisakhala na manyadzo?

(Mateu 12:33; Marko 7:20-23) Kodi ubalangazi unasankhula ine ukundicitisa kukhala ninga anthu a dziko?’ (Aroma 12:2) Matawiro athu anatiphedza kuona pinafunika ife kucita toera kukhala na uxamwali wakuwanga na Yahova.

Natenepa m’bodzi na m’bodzi mbapitirize kucita pinthu pinakomeresa ndzace, tayu pinakomerwa na iye basi.” (1 Akorinto 10:23, 24) Kukhala na ufulu wakucita cinthu nee pisabveka kuti tisafunika kucicita.
