TAGANIZIRANI IZI: Nthawi zina timadabwa ndi zikhalidwe komanso zimene anthu ochokera kudera lina amachita. Mwachitsanzo, m’zikhalidwe zina amaona kuti ukamalankhula ndi munthu umafunika uzimuyang’ana nkhope posonyeza kuti ukunena zoona. Pomwe m’zikhalidwe zina, amaona kuti kuchita zimenezi n’kupanda ulemu. Choncho tikakhala kuti sitikumvetsa bwino zokhudza anthu ena, ndi bwino kuphunzira ndi kudziwa bwino chikhalidwe chawo, m’malo mowaweruziratu kuti ndi anthu opanda khalidwe.

Zimenezi n’zofanananso ndi zimene zingachitike ngati sitikumvetsa zinthu zina zokhudza Mulungu.

Chifukwa chake anthu amafunsa funso limeneli

Anthu ena amaona kuti ngati Mulungu amafuna kuti anthu azikhala okhulupirika, si bwenzi m’zipembedzomu anthu achinyengo ali tho!

TAGANIZIRANI IZI: Tiyerekeze kuti mwana wina wakana kutsatira malangizo a bambo ake ndipo akuchoka pakhomo n’kukayamba moyo wolowerera. Ngakhale kuti bambowo sakugwirizana ndi maganizo a mwanayo, akumulola kuchita zomwe akufuna. Kodi zingakhale zomveka anthu atamanena kuti mwanayo analowerera chifukwa chakuti bambo ake ndi oipa? Kapena kodi zingakhale zomveka atamanena kuti mwanayo alibe bambo ake? Ayi. Mofanana ndi bamboyu, Mulungu amawapatsa anthu ufulu wosankha zomwe akufuna kuchita. Komanso sitinganene kuti Mulungu ndi woipa kapena kuti kulibe, chifukwa cha zachinyengo zimene anthu opemphera amachita.

ZIMENE BAIBULO LIMANENA: Ngakhale kuti Mulungu amapatsa anthu ufulu wochita zimene akufuna, amanyansidwa kwambiri ndi zinthu zachinyengo zomwe anthu opemphera amachita. (Yeremiya 7:29-31; 32:35) Ndipotu anthu ambiri omwe amanena kuti amakhulupirira Mulungu, amangotsatira ziphunzitso komanso mfundo zachipembedzo zomwe anthu anakhazikitsa okha.—Mateyu 15:7-9.

Koma mosiyana ndi anthu amenewa, anthu amene ali m’chipembedzo chimene Mulungu amasangalala nacho sachita zachinyengo. * Yesu ananena kuti: “Onse adzadziwa kuti ndinu ophunzira anga, ngati mukukondana.” (Yohane 13:35.) Ndipo Baibulo limanena kuti chikondi chimenechi ‘chisamakhale chachiphamaso.’ (Aroma 12:9) Anthu ambiri omwe ndi opemphera satsatira zimenezi. Mwachitsanzo, pa nkhondo yomwe inachitika ku Rwanda mu 1994, anthu ambiri opemphera anapha anthu achipembedzo chawo chifukwa chosiyana mitundu. Koma a Mboni za Yehova sankachita zimenezi. Ankaika moyo wawo pangozi pofuna kupulumutsa a Mboni anzawo komanso anthu ena. Zimene ankachitazi zikusonyeza kuti pali anthu ena opemphera omwe ndi opanda chinyengo.

Chifukwa chake anthu amafunsa funso limeneli

Anthu ambiri amadabwa kuti: ‘N’chifukwa chiyani timangokhala ndi moyo zaka 80 kapena 90 zokha basi? N’chifukwa chiyani moyo wathu uli waufupi chonchi?’

TAGANIZIRANI IZI: Ngakhale kuti anthu ena sakhulupirira Mulungu, komabe amagoma kwambiri akaona mmene chilengedwechi chilili. Amaona kuti dziko lapansili, mwezi komanso mapulaneti ena zimayenda mwadongosolo, zimene zimathandiza kuti padzikoli pazikhala zamoyo. Amaonanso kuti padzikoli sipakanakhala chamoyo chilichonse zikanakhala kuti mapulaneti sayenda mwadongosolo.

ZIMENE BAIBULO LIMANENA: Anthu ena amaona kuti chifukwa chakuti moyo wathu ndi waufupi, ndiye kuti kulibe Mulungu. Komabe pali zinthu zambiri zomwe timaziona m’chilengedwechi zimene zimasonyeza kuti kuli Mulungu. (Aroma 1:20) Zimasonyezanso kuti Mulungu anali ndi cholinga chinachake polenga zinthuzi. Iye analenga zinthu zonsezi n’cholinga choti anthu adzakhale ndi moyo wosatha padzikoli ndipo cholinga chakechi sichinasinthe.—Salimo 37:11, 29; Yesaya 55:11.

Kuganizira zimene Mulungu analenga kungatithandize kuti tizikhulupirira zoti alikodi komanso kuti timudziwe bwino. Komabe sikuti chilengedwechi chingatithandize kudziwa zonse zokhudza Mulungu komanso zimene amafuna. Mulungu anatipatsa Mawu ake Baibulo n’cholinga choti tidziwe zimene amafuna komanso chifukwa chimene anatilengera. * A Mboni za Yehova akukupemphani kuti muziphunzira nawo Baibulo kuti mudziwe mfundo zina zimene Baibulo limanena pa nkhaniyi.
