Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu

Kye kinnyonnyola kya R. A. Torrey ku kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu ng'ekintu eky'enkukunala ekituuka ku mukkiriza — ekyawukana ku kuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri era ekiweebwa olw'amaanyi mu buweereza n'okujulira. Torrey annyonnyola kye kiri, lwaki kyetaagisa, n'obukwakkulizo bwe yakkiriza nti bwe bufunirwamu, ng'awandiika okuva mu Byawandiikibwa ne mu bye yayitamu yennyini ku kifo ekikulu eky'okukyuka mu buweereza bwe.

Omuntu n'Omulimu gw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kinnyonnyola mu bujjuvu era mu ntegeka Omwoyo kye ali ne byonna by'akola. Ekitabo kino ekimpi kissa essira ku nsonga emu — okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo olw'amaanyi — nga kigyogerako butereevu era mu ngeri ey'okukozesebwa. Abasomi batera okujja ku kino okufuna okuyigiriza kwa Torrey okw'enjawulo ku kwambazibwa amaanyi olw'obuweereza.

Ategeeza omulimu gw'Omwoyo ogw'enkukunala, ogwawukana ku kuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri, omukkiriza mw'ayambazibwa amaanyi olw'obuweereza n'okujulira. Mu kuyigiriza kwe, si kye kifuula omuntu Omukristaayo — ekyo kwe kuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri — wabula kintu ekirala eri abo abaalokolebwa edda, ekibasobozesa okukolera Katonda n'obuwanguzi.

Kubanga yali kifo ekikulu eky'okukyuka mu buweereza bwe yennyini. Torrey annyonnyola nti bwe yamala okusoma n'okulowooza ennyo, n'akakasa nti okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo kyali kya kiseera kino era kyali kikye; n'akinoonya, n'afuna omukisa omunene, era oluvannyuma n'akiyigiriza n'obunyiikivu, ng'akkiriza nti obunafu bw'ekkanisa bwali okusinga olw'obutaba na maanyi ga Mwoyo.

Ateekawo amadaala g'aggya mu Byawandiikibwa — gamba ng'okwenenya n'okukyuka okuva mu kibi, okwatula Kristo mu lwatu, obuwulize, okwegomba okw'amaanyi, n'okusaba okw'enkukunala mu kukkiriza, ng'okkiriza nti ofunye. Torrey tabiraga ng'enkola ewaliriza Katonda, wabula ng'ekkubo ery'Ebyawandiikibwa mwe kirabo ekyasuubizibwa kifunirwa.

Si bwe kiri mu kuyigiriza kwa Torrey. Ayawula n'obwegendereza okuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri — okufuula omuntu Omukristaayo — ku kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo, ky'alaba ng'okwambazibwa amaanyi olw'obuweereza okujja oluvannyuma. Agamba nti omuntu ayinza okuba ng'alokoleddwa ddala, naye nga akyetaaga ekintu kino ekirala okusobola okujulira n'obuwanguzi.

Kya bakkiriza abeegomba okuweereza Katonda n'obuwanguzi era nga bawulira nti tebalina maanyi ga kukikola. Torrey awandiikira nnyo abakozi b'Ekikristaayo — ababuulizi, abayigiriza, n'abajulizi — ng'abakubiriza okunoonya okwambazibwa amaanyi kwe yakkiriza nti kwakyusa obuweereza bwe, era ekitabo kibadde n'obuyinza bungi mu bibinja by'okuzuukuka n'eby'obutukuvu okuva olwo.

Ku ntandikwa, Torrey w'annyonnyolera okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo n'akwawula ku kuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri, olwo n'agenda mu maaso ku bwetaavu bwakwo n'obukwakkulizo bwakwo. Nga kimpi era kigenda butereevu ku nsonga, ekitabo kigendereddwamu okukulembera omusomi obutakoma ku kutegeera kuyigiriza kwokka, wabula okunoonya ekyo kye kinnyonnyola.
