LiBhayibheli lifundzisa kutsi kuto tonkhe tidalwa letisemhlabeni, kunebantfu labambalwa kuphela labatawukuya ezulwini. (Sembulo 14:1, 3) Batawubusa njengemakhosi nebaphristi kanye naJesu. (Lukha 22:28-30; Sembulo 5:9, 10) Linyenti lebantfu litawuvuselwa emhlabeni lolipharadisi.—Tihlabelelo 37:11, 29.

(Matewu 19:17; Johane 3:16; 17:3) Bantfu kuphela labadalwa kutsi baphile phakadze.—Genesisi 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23.

 Tidalwa tasemhlabeni kudzingeka tivuswe kucala, kuze tiye ezulwini. (1 Khorinte 15:42) Kumbalwa kuvuswa lokukhulunywa ngako eBhayibhelini. (1 Emakhosi 17:17-24; 2 Emakhosi 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Lukha 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; Johane 11:38-44; Imisebenti 9:36-42; 20:7-12) Noma kunjalo, bantfu labavuswa, hhayi tilwane.

•  Tilwane tinayo yini imiphefumulo?

•  Imiphefumulo ingafa yini?

 Chake. LiBhayibheli litsi kokubili bantfu netilwane kuyimiphefumulo. (Umshumayeli 3:19, 20) Nakudalwa umuntfu wekucala, Adamu, akazange anikwe umphefumulo, kodvwa ‘wase uba ngumuntfu [umphefumulo] lophilako.’ (Genesisi 2:7) Umphefumulo wakhiwa tintfo letimbili: “lutfuli lwemhlabatsi” kanye “nemoya wekuphila.”

 Yebo, liBhayibheli lifundzisa kutsi imiphefumulo iyafa. (Levithikhusi 21:11, Hezekeli 18:20) Nakufa, kokubili tilwane nebantfu kubuyela emhlabatsini. (Umshumayeli 3:19, 20) Ngalamanye emagama, akusabibikho. a

(Jona 4:11; Matewu 10:29) Uyale tikhonti takhe kutsi titiphatse kahle tilwane.—Eksodusi 23:12; Dutheronomi 25:4; Taga 12:10.
