Machimo ake anakwiyitsa kwambiri Yehova ndipo Aisiraeli anavutika ndi zotsatira zake kwa zaka zambiri. N’zoona kuti Malemba amanena kuti Solomo “anaikidwa m’manda” limodzi ndi makolo ake, kuphatikizapo Davide yemwe anali wokhulupirika. (1 Maf. 11:5-9, 43; 2 Maf. 23:13) Koma kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti basi ndiye kuti Solomo adzaukitsidwa? Baibulo silinena kalikonse. Ena angamaganize kuti Solomo adzaukitsidwa chifukwa Baibulo limanena kuti “munthu amene wafa sakhalanso ndi mlandu wa machimo ake.” (Aroma 6:7) Zimenezi ndi zoona koma sizikutanthauza kuti anthu onse amene anafa adzaukitsidwa, ngati kuti munthu akafa, ndiye kuti basi ali ndi ufulu wodzakhalanso ndi moyo. Kuukitsidwa ndi mphatso yomwe Mulungu wachikondi amapereka. Ndipo amaipereka kwa anthu omwe iye akufuna kuwapatsa mwayi womutumikira mpaka kalekale. (Yobu 14:13, 14; Yoh. 6:44) Ndiye kodi Solomo adzalandira mphatso imeneyi? Yehova yekha ndi amene akudziwa. Koma chomwe ife tikudziwa n’choti Yehova adzachita zinthu mwachilungamo.

11. Ndi anthu ati amene sadzaukitsidwa ndipo tikudziwa bwanji zimenezi?

¹¹ Kodi ndi zinthu ziti zimene tikudziwa za anthu amene sadzaukitsidwa? Baibulo limangotchula zitsanzo zochepa. b Yesu ananena kuti Yudasi Isikarioti sadzaukitsidwa. c (Maliko 14:21; Yoh. 17:12) Yudasi, modziwa komanso mwadala, anachita zinthu motsutsana ndi Yehova Mulungu ndiponso Mwana wake.

Taganizirani mmene anasonyezera chifundo kwa anthu ena amene anachita machimo akuluakulu. Mfumu Davide anachita machimo akuluakulu monga chigololo komanso kupha munthu. Koma Davide analapa ndipo Yehova anamuchitira chifundo n’kumukhululukira. (2 Sam. 12:1-13) Mfumu Manase anachita zinthu zoipa kwambiri kwa nthawi yaitali pa moyo wake. Ngakhale zinali choncho, Yehova anamuchitira chifundo n’kumukhululukira chifukwa chakuti analapa. (2 Mbiri 33:9-16) Zitsanzo zimenezi zikutikumbutsa kuti Yehova amasonyeza chifundo ngati pali zifukwa zosonyezera chifundocho. Iye adzaukitsa anthu ngati amenewa chifukwa chozindikira kuti anachita machimo akuluakulu ndipo analapa.

13. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani Yehova anachitira chifundo anthu a ku Nineve? (b) Kodi Yesu ananena chiyani zokhudza anthu a ku Nineve?

¹³ Timadziwanso kuti Yehova anasonyeza chifundo kwa anthu a ku Nineve. Mulungu anauza Yona kuti: “Ndaona zoipa zomwe akuchita.” Koma iwo atalapa machimo awo, Yehova anawachitira chifundo n’kuwakhululukira. Yehova anasonyeza chifundo kuposa Yona. Yona atakwiya, Mulungu anamukumbutsa kuti anthu a ku Nineve ‘sankadziwa kusiyanitsa zoyenera ndi zolakwika.’ (Yona 1:1, 2; 3:10; 4:9-11) Pambuyo pake, Yesu anagwiritsa ntchito chitsanzo chimenechi pophunzitsa anthu zokhudza chilungamo ndi chifundo cha Yehova. Yesu ananena kuti anthu a ku Nineve amene analapa “adzauka pa Tsiku la Chiweruzo.”​—Mat. 12:41.

Mwachitsanzo, ngati anthu ena a ku Nineve adzakane kulambira Yehova, adzaweruzidwa kuti asakhalenso ndi moyo. (Yes. 65:20) Koma anthu onse amene adzasankhe kulambira Yehova mokhulupirika, adzaweruzidwa kuti akhale ndi moyo mpaka kalekale.​—Dan. 12:2.

15. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani sitiyenera kunena kuti onse amene anawonongedwa ku Sodomu ndi Gomora sadzaukitsidwa? (b) Kodi mawu a pa Yuda 7 amatanthauza chiyani? (Onani bokosi lakuti “ Kodi Yuda Ankatanthauza Chiyani?”)

¹⁵ Yesu ananena kuti chilango cha anthu amene ankakana zimene iye ankaphunzitsa chidzakhala chopweteka kwambiri “pa Tsiku la Chiweruzo” kuposa chilango cha anthu a ku Sodomu ndi Gomora. (Mat. 10:14, 15; 11:23, 24; Luka 10:12) Kodi pamenepa ankatanthauza chiyani? Mwina tikhoza kumaganiza kuti pa nthawiyi Yesu ankagwiritsa ntchito fanizo lokokomeza. Koma zikuoneka kuti si choncho, tikaganizira zimene ananena zokhudza anthu a ku Nineve. Zikuoneka kuti zimene Yesu ananena silinali fanizo koma zenizeni. “Tsiku la Chiweruzo” limene analitchula m’maulendo onsewa linali limodzi. Mofanana ndi anthu a ku Nineve, anthu a ku Sodomu ndi Gomora anachita zinthu zoipa koma anthu a ku Nineve anali ndi mwayi wolapa. Komanso kumbukirani zimene Yesu ananena zokhudza anthu amene ‘adzaukitsidwe kuti aweruzidwe.’ Ankaphatikizapo anthu “amene ankachita zoipa.” (Yoh. 5:29) Choncho zikuoneka kuti anthu ena a ku Sodomu ndi Gomora akhoza kudzaukitsidwa. N’kutheka kuti ena mwa anthuwo adzaukitsidwa ndipo tingadzakhale ndi mwayi wowaphunzitsa za Yehova ndi Yesu Khristu.

16. Kodi tikudziwa chiyani pa nkhani ya mmene Yehova amasankhira anthu oti adzawaukitse? (Yeremiya 17:10)

Nthawi zonse Yehova ‘amafufuza mtima, amafufuza maganizo a mkati mwa mtima wa munthu.’ Choncho pa nkhani ya kuukitsa anthu, Yehova adzachitira munthu aliyense “mogwirizana ndi zochita zake.” Adzachita zinthu mwamphamvu komanso mwachifundo ngati pakufunika kutero. Choncho tisamafulumire kuganiza kuti munthu winawake alibe chiyembekezo choti adzaukitsidwa, pokhapokha ngati tatsimikiza kuti Baibulo limanena zimenezo.

“WOWERUZA WA DZIKO LONSE LAPANSI” ADZACHITA “CHILUNGAMO”

17. Kodi chidzachitike n’chiyani kwa anthu amene anamwalira?

¹⁷ Kungochokera pamene Adamu ndi Hava anakhala kumbali ya Satana poukira Yehova Mulungu, anthu mabiliyoni ambiri akhala akufa. ‘Imfa ndi mdani’ woopsa kwambiri. (1 Akor. 15:26) Ndiye kodi n’chiyani chidzachitikire anthu onsewa? Anthu ochepa, okwana 144,000 omwe ndi otsatira okhulupirika a Khristu, adzaukitsidwa n’kupatsidwa moyo wosafa kumwamba. (Chiv. 14:1) Amuna ndi akazi okhulupirika amene ankakonda Yehova, adzakhala m’gulu la anthu ‘olungama amene adzaukitsidwe’ ndipo adzapatsidwa moyo wosatha padziko lapansi ngati angakhale okhulupirika mu Ulamuliro wa Zaka 1,000 wa Khristu komanso akadzayesedwa komaliza. (Dan. 12:13; Aheb. 12:1) Komanso mu Ulamuliro wa Zaka 1,000, anthu “osalungama” kuphatikizapo amene sanatumikirepo Yehova, kapena amene “ankachita zoipa,” adzapatsidwa mwayi woti asinthe njira zawo n’kukhala okhulupirika. (Luka 23:42, 43) Koma pali anthu ena omwe Yehova anasankha kuti asadzaukitsidwe n’komwe. Anthu amenewa anali oipa kwambiri ndipo anatsimikiza mtima kutsutsana ndi Yehova komanso zolinga zake.​—Luka 12:4, 5.

18-19. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani tingakhale otsimikiza kuti Yehova adzaweruza mwachilungamo anthu amene anamwalira? (Yesaya 55:8, 9) (b) Kodi tidzakambirana chiyani munkhani yotsatira?

¹⁸ Kodi tingakhale otsimikiza kuti nthawi zonse Yehova amaweruza anthu mwachilungamo? Inde. Abulahamu ankadziwa kuti Yehova ndi “Woweruza wa dziko lonse lapansi” yemwe ndi wangwiro, wanzeru komanso wachifundo. Iye waphunzitsa bwino Mwana wake ndipo wamupatsa udindo wonse woweruza. (Yoh. 5:22) Iye pamodzi ndi Mwana wakeyu amadziwa zimene zili mumtima mwa munthu. (Mat. 9:4) Choncho akamadzaweruza munthu aliyense adzachita zinthu ‘mwachilungamo.’

¹⁹ Tiyeni tisamakayikire ngakhale pang’ono kuti Yehova amadziwa zonse. Timadziwa kuti iye ndi woyenera kuweruza osati ifeyo. (Werengani Yesaya 55:8, 9.) Choncho nkhani yonse yoweruzayi timaisiya m’manja mwa iyeyo ndi Mwana wake. Ndipo Mwana wakeyu ndi Mfumu imene imatsanzira Atate wake posonyeza chilungamo ndi chifundo. (Yes. 11:3, 4) Koma kodi Yehova ndi Yesu adzaweruza bwanji anthu pa nthawi ya chisautso chachikulu? Kodi ndi zinthu ziti zimene sitikudziwa? Nanga ndi zinthu ziti zimene tikudziwa? Nkhani yotsatira idzayankha mafunso amenewa.
