(Agal. 6:10) Muzikhala ndi zolinga zauzimu, kenako n’kupempha Yehova kuti akuthandizeni kuzikwaniritsa. Yehova amasangalala kwambiri kuyankha mapemphero oterowo.​—1 Yoh. 3:22; 5:14, 15.

(Amosi 5:15) Davide anazindikira kuti ubwino umachokera kwa Yehova. Khalidwe la ubwino limatanthauza kukhala ndi makhalidwe abwino kwambiri. Davide ankayesetsa kutsanzira ubwino wa Mulungu komanso kuti azidana ndi zimene Mulungu amadana nazo. Mwachitsanzo, Mulungu amadana ndi kulambira mafano chifukwa kuchita zimenezi kumanyozetsa anthu komanso kumamulanda ulemerero umene ayenera kulandira.​—Yes. 2:8, 9; Chiv. 4:11.

Anthuwo anafikanso pomapereka nsembe ana awo kwa milungu yonyenga. (Yes. 57:5) Yehova ankadana ndi nkhanza zimenezi. (Yer. 7:31) Mukanakhala mu nthawi imeneyo, mukanasangalala kwambiri ngati makolo anu akanakhala kuti amakhulupirira Yehova n’kumamumvera.

Koma zoona zake n’zakuti ‘amangochulukitsa zopweteka zawo.’ (1 Akor. 6:18, 19) Mwina inuyo panokha mwaonapo mavuto amene anthu oterewa amakumana nawo. Choncho achinyamatanu muzimvera Atate wanu wakumwamba. Musamakayikire ngakhale pang’ono kuti kumvera Mulungu n’kothandiza kwambiri. Muzikhulupiriranso kuti mavuto amene angabwere mukamachita zoipa ndi ochuluka kwambiri kuposa chisangalalo cha kanthawi chimene mungapeze. (Agal. 6:8) Joshua yemwe tamutchula kale uja ananena kuti: “Tikhoza kugwiritsa ntchito ufulu wathu mmene tikufunira koma tikapanda kuugwiritsa ntchito mwanzeru sitingakhale osangalala.”

19, 20. Kodi achinyamata amene amakhulupirira Mulungu komanso kumumvera adzadalitsidwa bwanji?

¹⁹ Yesu anauza ophunzira ake kuti: “Mukamasunga mawu anga nthawi zonse, ndiye kuti ndinudi ophunzira anga. Mudzadziwa choonadi, ndipo choonadi chidzakumasulani.” (Yoh. 8:31, 32) Ophunzira a Yesu amamasulidwa ku chipembedzo chonyenga, zikhulupiriro zabodza komanso kuti asakhale osazindikira. Komanso pa mapeto pake adzapeza “ufulu waulemerero wa ana a Mulungu.” (Aroma 8:21) Ngakhale panopa, tikhoza kulawa ufuluwu ‘tikamasunga mawu a Khristu.’ Tikamachita zimenezi ‘tidzadziwa choonadi’ osati chifukwa chongochiphunzira koma chifukwa chochitsatira.

²⁰ Achinyamatanu muyenera kuyamikira kwambiri ufulu umene Mulungu wakupatsani. Muzigwiritsa ntchito ufuluwo mwanzeru ndipo mukatero mudzakhala ndi tsogolo labwino. Mnyamata wina anati: “Mukamagwiritsa ntchito ufulu wanu mwanzeru muli wamng’ono zimakuthandizani kuti mudzasankhe bwino pa nkhani zikuluzikulu. Mwachitsanzo, mudzatha kusankha mwanzeru pa nkhani ya ntchito komanso yokhudza kulowa m’banja kapena kudikira kaye.”

21. Kodi mungatani kuti mukhalebe pa njira yopita ku ‘moyo weniweni’?

²¹ M’dziko lakaleli, moyo umene anthu ambiri amati ndi wabwino umakhala wosadalirika komanso wakanthawi. Paja sitidziwa zimene zingachitike mawa. (Yak. 4:13, 14) Choncho ndi nzeru kukhalabe pa njira yopita ku ‘moyo weniweni,’ womwe ndi moyo wosatha. (1 Tim. 6:19) Koma Mulungu satikakamiza kuyenda pa njirayo. Tiyenera kusankha tokha. Choncho muziyesetsa kuti Yehova akhale “gawo” lanu ndipo muziyamikira kwambiri “zinthu zabwino” zimene wakupatsani. (Sal. 103:5) Muzikhulupiriranso kuti iye angakuthandizeni kuti muzisangalala kwambiri komanso kuti mukhale ndi “chimwemwe mpaka muyaya.”​—Sal. 16:11.
