Chitsauko 3.

Imi vaGaratiya mapenzi, ndiani akakuroyai? Jesu Kristu akaratidzwa akarovererwa pamberi pameso enyu. Ndinoda kungodzidza ichi chete kwamuri: makagamuchira Mweya Mutsvene nemabasa omurayiro here, kana nokunzwa nokutenda? Mapenzi kudaro here? Matanga noMweya, zvino moda kupedziswa nenyama here? Makatambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji kudaro pasina here—kana zvechokwadi zvakanga zviri pasina? Saka Baba vedu, ivo vanokupai Mweya Mutsvene zvakawanda uye vanoita zvishamiso pakati penyu, vanoita izvi nemabasa omurayiro here, kana nokunzwa nokutenda? Zvakanga zvakadaro naAbhurahama: “Akatenda kuna Baba vedu, zvikaverengerwa kwaari sokururama.” Naizvozvo, zivai kuti avo vane kutenda ndivo vana vaAbhurahama.

Rugwaro, ruchiona zviri mberi kuti Baba vedu vaizoruramisa ndudzi nokutenda, rwakazivisa Abhurahama mashoko akanaka pachine nguva, ruchiti: “Mauri ndudzi dzose dzicharopafadzwa.”

Saka avo vane kutenda vanoropafadzwa pamwe chete naAbhurahama, murume wokutenda.

Nokuti vose vanovimba nemabasa omurayiro vari pasi pechituko, sezvo kwakanyorwa kuchiti: “Akatukwa munhu wose asingarambi achiita zvinhu zvose zvakanyorwa muBhuku roMurayiro.” Zviri pachena kuti hapana munhu anoruramiswa pamberi paBaba vedu nomurayiro: “Akarurama achararama nokutenda.” Asi murayiro hauna kuvakirwa pakutenda; asi, “Ani naani anozviita achararama nazvo.”

Kristu akatidzikinura pachituko chomurayiro nokuva chituko nokuda kwedu—nokuti Rugwaro runoti, “Akatukwa munhu wose akaturikwa pamuti.” Akaita izvi kuti chikomborero chaAbhurahama chisvike kundudzi muna Kristu Jesu, kuti isu tigamuchire Mweya Mutsvene wakavimbiswa kuburikidza nokutenda.

Vimbiso Inomira, Murayiro Unoshumira

Hama dzangu, regai nditaure nenzira yomunhu: hapana munhu anokonesa kana kuwedzera pasungano yomunhu yakasimbiswa. Vimbiso dzakataurwa kuna Abhurahama nokumbeu yake. Harutauri kuti “nokumbeu,” zvizhinji, asi “nokumbeu yako,” imwe chete, inova Kristu. Zvandinoreva ndezvizvi: murayiro, wakauya makore mazana mana namakumi matatu gare gare, haukonesi sungano iyo Baba vedu vakanga vatosimbisa, zvokuti vimbiso ishaye maturo. Kana nhaka ichibva pamurayiro, haichabvi pavimbiso—asi Baba vedu vakaipa kuna Abhurahama kuburikidza nevimbiso.

Zvino murayiro ndowei? Wakawedzerwa nokuda kwezvakaipa, kusvikira mbeu yakanga yavimbiswa yasvika—wakarongwa kuburikidza nevatumwa noruoko rwomurevereri. ^a Zvino murevereri haasi womutivi mumwe chete; asi Baba vedu ndivo mumwe chete.

Ko murayiro unopesana nevimbiso dzaBaba vedu here? Kwete napaduku! Dai murayiro waigona kupa upenyu, kururama kwaizobva zvechokwadi pamurayiro. Asi Rugwaro rwakapfigira zvinhu zvose pasi pechivi, kuti vimbiso, kuburikidza nokutenda muna Jesu Kristu, ipiwe kune avo vanotenda.

Kutenda kusati kwasvika, takanga takachengetwa pasi pomurayiro, takapfigirwa kusvikira kutenda kwaizouya kwazarurwa. Saka murayiro wakanga uri mutariri wedu kusvikira Kristu auya, kuti kutenda kugone kutiruramisa. Asi zvino sezvo kutenda kwasvika, hatichisiri pasi pomutariri.
