Panali malamulo ochepa amene Yehova ankafuna kuti Akhristu azitsatira, ndipo limodzi mwa malamulo amenewa linali lakuti apitirize “kupewa . . . magazi.” Kupewa magazi kunali kofunika kwambiri mofanana ndi kupewa dama komanso kulambira mafano.​—Machitidwe 15:28, 29.

Tikatero tizisankha mogwirizana ndi chikumbumtima chathu chophunzitsidwa Baibulo. Tisamafunse ena zimene akanachita vutolo likakhala kuti lagwera iwowo, n’cholinga choti ifenso tichite zomwezo.

13. Kodi malamulo a Yehova ndiponso mfundo za m’Mawu ake zokhudza magazi zimasonyeza chiyani?

¹³ Zonse zimene Yehova amatiuza kuti tizichita, ndi zothandiza ndipo zimasonyeza kuti amatikonda. (Salimo 19:7-11) Koma sikuti timamvera Yehova chifukwa choti malamulo ake ndi othandiza basi. Timamumvera chifukwa choti timamukonda. Choncho timakana kuikidwa magazi chifukwa choti timakonda Yehova. (Machitidwe 15:20) Kusaikidwa magazi kumathandizanso kuti tikhale ndi moyo wathanzi. Masiku ano anthu ambiri amadziwa mavuto amene angakhalepo chifukwa choikidwa magazi. Komanso madokotala ambiri amaona kuti opaleshoni yopanda magazi ndi yabwino kwambiri kwa wodwala.

¹⁴ Kuyambira kale, Yehova amapatsa anthu ake malamulo othandiza. Mwachitsanzo, Aisiraeli akale anawapatsa malamulo amene ankawathandiza kupewa ngozi. Limodzi mwa malamulo amenewa linali lakuti munthu aliyense azimanga kampanda kuzungulira denga la nyumba yake kuti munthu asagwe kuchokera padengapo. (Deuteronomo 22:8) Panalinso lamulo lokhudza ziweto. Munthu akakhala ndi ng’ombe yolusa, ankafunika kuisamalira kuti isagunde kapena kupha munthu. (Ekisodo 21:28, 29) Aliyense wosamvera lamuloli, ankakhala ndi mlandu ng’ombe yakeyo ikapha munthu.

¹⁵ Malamulo amenewa akusonyeza kuti Yehova amaona kuti moyo ndi wamtengo wapatali. Ifenso tiyenera kumauona chimodzimodzi.

16. Kodi Yehova amagwirizana ndi zoti anthu azichotsa mimba?

¹⁶ Yehova amaona kuti moyo wa munthu aliyense ndi wofunika kwambiri. N’chimodzimodzinso moyo wa mwana wosabadwa. M’Chilamulo cha Mose munali lamulo lakuti munthu akavulaza mwangozi mayi woyembekezera, mayiyo kapena mwanayo n’kumwalira, munthuyo aziimbidwa mlandu wopha munthu. Ngakhale kuti sichinali cholinga chake kuti aphe munthu, wopalamulayo ankayenera kuphedwa polipira moyo wa wophedwayo. (Werengani Ekisodo 21:22, 23.) Izi zikusonyeza kuti Mulungu amaona kuti nayenso mwana wosabadwa ndi munthu. Ndiye kodi mukuganiza kuti iye amagwirizana ndi zoti anthu azichotsa mimba? Nanga mukuganiza kuti amamva bwanji akamaona ana osabadwa mamiliyoni ambirimbiri akuphedwa chaka chilichonse chifukwa cha kuchotsa mimba?

17. Kodi ndi mfundo iti imene ingalimbikitse mayi amene anachotsa mimba asanaphunzire za Yehova?

(Luka 5:32; Aefeso 1:7) Munthu amene anachita tchimo limeneli asanaphunzire za Yehova, koma panopa analapa kuchokera pansi pa mtima, sayenera kumadziimbabe mlandu. Baibulo limati: “Yehova ndi wachifundo ndi wachisomo . . . Monga mmene kum’mawa kwatalikirana ndi kumadzulo, momwemonso, watiikira kutali zolakwa zathu.”​—Salimo 103:8-14.

18. N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kuyesetsa kuti tichotse maganizo achidani mumtima mwathu?

¹⁸ Nkhani yoona kuti moyo ndi wamtengo wapatali imayambira mumtima. Imakhudzanso mmene timaonera anthu ena. Mtumwi Yohane analemba kuti: “Aliyense amene amadana ndi m’bale wake ndi wopha munthu.” (1 Yohane 3:15) Nthawi zina mtima wosakonda munthu umayamba pang’onopang’ono, koma kenako umakula n’kukhala chidani. Chidani chingapangitse kuti tisamalemekeze munthu, tiziuza ena zabodza zokhudza munthuyo komanso mwina kuyamba kulakalaka munthuyo atangofa. Ngati mumtima mwathu timadana ndi munthu wina, Yehova amadziwa zimenezo. (Levitiko 19:16; Deuteronomo 19:18-21; Mateyu 5:22) Choncho ngati pali aliyense amene timadana naye, tiyenera kuyesetsa kuti tichotse maganizo amenewo mumtima mwathu.​—Yakobo 1:14, 15; 4:1-3.

19. Kodi mfundo yoti Yehova amadana ndi chiwawa iyenera kutikhudza bwanji?

Ngati timadana ndi chiwawa sitingalole kuti mawu achiwawa komanso zithunzi zachiwawa zikhazikike m’maganizo mwathu. M’malomwake tiyenera kuyesetsa kuti tiziganizira zinthu zabwino komanso zamtendere.​—Werengani Afilipi 4:8, 9.

20-22. (a) Kodi Yehova amawaona bwanji anthu a m’dziko la Satanali? (b) Kodi anthu a Mulungu angasonyeze bwanji kuti sali “mbali ya dzikoli”?

²⁰ Anthu a m’dziko la Satanali salemekeza moyo. Choncho Yehova amawaona kuti ali ndi mlandu wa magazi. Maboma a m’mayiko ambiri akhala akuchititsa kuti anthu mamiliyoni ambirimbiri, kuphatikizapo atumiki a Yehova, aphedwe. M’Baibulo maboma amenewa amawayerekezera ndi zilombo zolusa. (Danieli 8:3, 4, 20-22; Chivumbulutso 13:1, 2, 7, 8) Masiku ano bizinezi yogulitsa zida za nkhondo ndi yaikulu komanso yotentha. Anthu amapanga ndalama zambiri chifukwa chogulitsa zida zoopsa zophera anthu. Zimenezi zikutsimikizira kuti “dziko lonse lili m’manja mwa woipayo.”​—1 Yohane 5:19.

²¹ Koma Akhristu oona sali “mbali ya dzikoli.” Iwo salowerera ndale komanso samenya nawo nkhondo. Akhristu oona sapha anthu komanso sathandiza gulu lililonse limene limapha anthu. (Yohane 15:19; 17:16) Akhristuwa akamazunzidwa, sachita zachiwawa pofuna kubwezera. Yesu anati tizikonda anthu onse, ngakhalenso adani athu.​—Mateyu 5:44; Aroma 12:17-21.

²² Zipembedzo zapangitsa kuti anthu ambirimbiri aphedwe. Ponena za Babulo Wamkulu, kapena kuti zipembedzo zonse zonyenga, Baibulo limati: “Mwa iye munapezeka magazi a aneneri, a oyera, ndi a onse amene anaphedwa padziko lapansi.” Ndiyetu mpake kuti Yehova amatiuza kuti: “Tulukani mwa iye anthu anga.” Anthu amene amalambira Yehova sakhala mbali ya zipembedzo zonyenga.​—Chivumbulutso 17:6; 18:2, 4, 24.

23. Kodi munthu amene akufuna ‘kutulukadi’ mu Babulo Wamkulu ayenera kuchita chiyani?

²³ Kuti munthu ‘atulukedi’ mu Babulo Wamkulu, ayenera kuchita zinthu zosonyeza kuti wasiya kukhala membala wa chipembedzo chonyenga. Mwachitsanzo, ayenera kufufutitsa dzina lake kutchalitchi chake chakale. Ayeneranso kudana ndi zinthu zoipa zimene zipembedzo zimachita. Zipembedzo zonyenga zimalola kuti anthu ake azichita ndale komanso zimalimbikitsa chiwerewere ndi dyera. (Werengani Salimo 97:10; Chivumbulutso 18:7, 9, 11-17) Zimenezi zaphetsa anthu ambiri.

24, 25. Kodi kulambira Yehova kungatithandize bwanji kuti tikhale ndi mtendere wamumtima komanso chikumbumtima chabwino?

²⁴ Tisanayambe kulambira Yehova, tonsefe mwa njira inayake tinkachita nawo zinthu zoipa zimene anthu a dziko la Satanali amachita. Koma panopa tinasintha. Tinaphunzira kuti dipo la Yesu lingatithandize ndipo tinadzipereka kwa Mulungu. Tingati tinalandira “nyengo zotsitsimutsa . . . kuchokera kwa Yehova.” Panopa tili ndi mtendere wamumtima komanso chikumbumtima chabwino chifukwa chodziwa kuti tikusangalatsa Mulungu.​—Machitidwe 3:19; Yesaya 1:18.

²⁵ Ngakhale anthu amene poyamba anali m’chipembedzo kapena m’gulu limene sililemekeza moyo, Yehova angawakhululukire pogwiritsa ntchito dipo la Yesu. Timayamikira kwambiri mphatso ya moyo imene Yehova anatipatsa. Tingasonyeze kuti timayamikira mphatso imeneyi pothandiza ena kuti adziwe Yehova, akhale naye pa ubwenzi wolimba komanso asiye kugwirizana ndi dziko la Satanali.​—2 Akorinto 6:1, 2.

26-28. (a) Kodi Yehova anapatsa Ezekieli ntchito yapadera iti? (b) Kodi ndi ntchito iti imene Yehova akufuna kuti tizigwira masiku ano?

²⁶ Kale ku Isiraeli, Yehova anauza mneneri Ezekieli kuti achenjeze anthu kuti Yerusalemu awonongedwa. Anamuuzanso kuti aphunzitse anthuwo zimene angachite kuti adzapulumuke. Ezekieli akanapanda kuchenjeza anthuwo, akanakhala ndi mlandu wa magazi. (Ezekieli 33:7-9) Koma Ezekieli anasonyeza zoti ankaona kuti moyo ndi wamtengo wapatali, ndipo anayesetsa kuuza anthuwo uthenga wofunika umenewu.

²⁷ Ifenso Yehova watipatsa ntchito yoti tichenjeze anthu kuti posachedwapa dziko loipali liwonongedwa. Tiyeneranso kuwathandiza kuti adziwe zoyenera kuchita kuti adzapulumuke. (Yesaya 61:2; Mateyu 24:14) Tiziyesetsa kuuza anthu uthenga umenewu. Tikatero tidzatha kunena zofanana ndi zimene Paulo ananena. Iye anati: “Ine ndine woyera pa mlandu wa magazi a anthu onse. Pakuti sindinakubisireni kanthu, koma ndinakuuzani chifuniro chonse cha Mulungu.”​—Machitidwe 20:26, 27.

²⁸ Koma pali zinanso zimene tingachite kuti tikhale oyera, ndipo tidzakambirana zimenezi m’mutu wotsatira.
