Luchase Unqulo Lobuxoki, Unamathele Kunqulo Lokwenyaniso
1. Ngokuphathelele unqulo, abantu bajamelene naluphi ukhetho namhlanje?
UYESU wathi: “Lowo ungekho ngakum unxamnye nam.” (Mateyu 12:30) Sima kwicala likaYehova okanye kwelikaSathana. Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba bakhonza uThixo ngendlela eyamkelekileyo, kodwa iBhayibhile ithi uSathana “ulahlekisa umhlaba omiweyo uphela.” (ISityhilelo 12:9) Izigidi zabantu zikholelwa ukuba zinqula uThixo, kodwa eneneni zikhonza uSathana uMtyholi! Abantu namhlanje bajamelene nokhetho: Bamele bakhonze uYehova, ‘uThixo oyinyaniso,’ okanye uSathana, ‘uyise wobuxoki.’—INdumiso 31:5; Yohane 8:44.

Enye indlela akwenza ngayo oku kukubenza bagculelwe okanye bachaswe ngabanye, ngabahlobo kwanangamalungu entsapho. UYesu walumkisa wathi: “Eneneni, iintshaba zomntu ziya kuba ngabantu bendlu yakhe.”—Mateyu 10:36.

yabo. Ngaba oko kusengqiqweni? Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba amalungu asondeleyo entsapho yakho asebenzisa iziyobisi eziyingozi, ngaba ubungayi kuwalumkisa ukuba iziyobisi ziya kuwenzakalisa? Ubungayi kuwathelela ekusebenziseni ezo ziyobisi, akunjalo?4. Wathini uYoshuwa kumaSirayeli ngokuphathelele unqulo ngomhla wakhe?

Ukuba sinyanisekile kuYehova, uya kusisikelela nathi.—2 Samuweli 22:26.
