 Okubuhlungu ukuthi lezo zenzo ezinyantisayo zithe chithi saka. I-USA Today ibike ukuthi e-United States kuphela, “kwaba nezigameko zokudubulana ezingu-249 emagcekeni esikole ngonyaka odlule—okuyinani eliphakeme kakhulu elingakaze libe khona kusukela ngabo-1970.”

 Kungani abantu sebenonya olungaka? Singabhekana kanjani nalobo bubi? Likhona yini ithemba lokuthi lolu dlame luyoke luphele? IBhayibheli liyaphendula.

Labo bantu “bayoqhubeka besuka kokubi baye kokubi kakhulu.” (2 Thimothewu 3:1-5, 13) Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe, funda isihloko esithi “Ingabe IBhayibheli Layibikezela Indlela Abantu Abacabanga Nabenza Ngayo Namuhla?”

 Abantu abaningi bayazibuza, ‘Kungani uNkulunkulu engazivimbi izinto ezimbi njengokudubulana ezikoleni?’ Ukuze uthole impendulo yeBhayibheli, funda isihloko esithi “Izinto Ezimbi Zenzeka Kubantu Abalungile—Kungani?”

•    “Izinto ezalotshwa kusengaphambili zalotshelwa ukuba kufundiswe thina, ukuze kuthi . . . ngenduduzo evela emiBhalweni sibe nethemba.”—Roma 15:4.

 IBhayibheli lingakusiza ubhekane nezimo zaleli zwe eligcwele udlame. Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe, funda umagazini IPhaphama! onesihloko esithi “Ingabe Ubudlova Buyoke Buphele?”

 Ukuze uthole ukuthi abazali bangazisiza kanjani izingane zabo zibhekane nemibiko yezindaba eyethusayo, funda isihloko esithi “Imibiko Yezindaba Ethusayo Nezingane Zakho.”

•    “Iyobakhulula ekucindezelweni nasebudloveni.”—IHubo 72:14.

•    “Ziyokhanda izinkemba zazo zibe amageja nemikhonto yazo ibe ocelemba. Izizwe ngeke ziphakamiselane inkemba, futhi ngeke zisayifunda impi.”—Mika 4:3.

 UNkulunkulu uyokwenza into abantu abangeke bakwazi ukuyenza. UMbuso wakhe wasezulwini uyoqeda zonke izikhali nabo bonke ubudlova. Ukuze ufunde okwengeziwe ngalokho uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ozokwenza, funda isihloko esithi “Lapho Sekubusa UMbuso KaNkulunkulu, ‘Kuyochichima Ukuthula.’”
