Engeri y’Okuyambamu Abo Abalina Essuubi ery’Obulimba

1. Mu abo abalina essuubi ery’obulimba, oboolyawo ekibinja ekisinga obunene be abo abasuubira okulokolebwa olw’obulamu bwabwe obw’obutuukirivu. Abantu bano obamanya mangu olw’ebigambo bye boogera nga bino: “Nkola kye nsobola kyonna.” “Ebirungi bye nkola bisinga ebibi.” “Siri mwonoonyi munene.” “Sikolangako kintu kibi nnyo.” Abaggalatiya 3:10, kye kyawandiikibwa ekirungi ennyo okukozesa, kubanga kiraga nti bonna abeesiga ebikolwa byabwe bali wansi w’ekikolimo ky’amateeka, era nti mu mateeka temuli ssuubi lyonna eri omuntu yenna, kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Buli ataagobererenga byonna ebiwandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’amateeka, akolimiddwa.” Yakobo 2:10 nakyo kya mugaso. Abaggalatiya 2:16, n’Abaruumi 3:19, 20 bikola nnyo kubanga biraga nti tewali n’omu aliweebwa obutuukirivu mu maaso ga Katonda olw’ebikolwa by’amateeka. Matayo 5:20—Ebyawandiikibwa bino byonna biraga obutuukirivu Katonda bw’ayagala, era nti tewali butuukirivu bwa muntu yenna obutuuka ku kipimo kya Katonda, era nti omuntu bw’aba ayagala okulokolebwa, ateekwa okunoonya ekkubo eddala ery’obulokozi, so si ebikolwa bye. Oluusi kiba kirungi, ng’okozesa ebyawandiikibwa bino, okugamba omunoonyi nti: “Tomanyi butuukirivu Katonda bw’ayagala, kubanga singa obumanyi towandyogedde bw’otyo. Kale ka tuddeyo mu kigambo kye tulabe obutuukirivu Katonda bw’ayagala bwe buli.” Waliwo n’engeri endala ey’okuyambamu ekibinja kino, ng’okozesa ebyawandiikibwa nga Lukka 16:15; Abaruumi 2:16; 1 Samwiri 16:7. Ebyawandiikibwa bino biraga nti Katonda atunuulira mutima. Omunoonyi munyweze ku nsonga eyo. Buli muntu bw’aleetebwa okugitunuulira maaso ku maaso, ateekwa okukankana, kubanga amanyi nti obulamu bwe obw’okungulu ne bwe bwandibadde butya, omutima gwe teguyinza kugumira kukeberebwa kw’eriiso lya Katonda. Omuntu ne bw’aba yeetwala okuba omutuukirivu atya, tetwetaaga kuggwaamu maanyi, kubanga wansi ddala mu mutima gwa buli muntu mulimu okumanya nti yayonoona, era kye tulina okukola kyokka kwe kugenda mu maaso okutuusa lwe tutuuka ku nsonga eyo. Omuntu ow’omunda owa buli muntu ali ku ludda lwaffe. Matayo 22:37, 38 kiyinza okukozesebwa omuntu bw’agamba nti “Nkola kye nsobola kyonna, oba ebirungi bye nkola bisinga ebibi.” Mugambe nti, “Okyamye nnyo ku ekyo; so si nti okola birungi ebisinga ebibi, omanyi nti wamenya etteeka ery’olubereberye era erisinga obukulu mu mateeka ga Katonda?” Awo omulage ekyawandiikibwa ekyo. Abaebbulaniya 11:6, Yokaana 6:29, biraga nti ekintu kimu Katonda ky’ayagala kwe kukkiriza, era nti awatali kukkiriza toyinza kusanyusa Katonda, ne Yokaana 16:9, kiraga nti obutakkiriza Kristo kye kibi ekisinga obunene. Yokaana 3:36, kiraga nti ensonga y’obulamu obutaggwaawo yeesigamye ku kimu kyokka: omuntu okukkiriza oba okugaana Yesu Kristo, ne Abaebbulaniya 10:28, 29, nti ekibi ekireeta ekibonerezo ekisinga obuzito kwe kulinnyirira Omwana wa Katonda. Nga tonnakozesa kyawandiikibwa kino ekisembayo, kiba kirungi okugamba nti, “Olowooza nti oli mulungi nnyo, naye omanyi nti okola ekibi ekisinga okuba eky’entiisa mu maaso ga Katonda omuntu ky’ayinza okukola?” Bw’addamu nti, “Nedda,” awo mugambe nti “Kale ka nkulage okuva mu kigambo kya Katonda nti bw’otyo bw’oli;” olwo ozzeeyo ku kyawandiikibwa kino okisome mu ngeri ey’ekitiibwa ennyo era n’omutima gwonna.

2. Ekibinja ekirala eky’abo abalina essuubi ery’obulimba, be abo abalowooza nti “Katonda mulungi nnyo, tayinza kusuula muntu yenna mu ggeyeena.”

Omuntu yenna bw’akyogera, oyinza okumuddamu nti, “Tetulina kye tumanyi ku bulungi bwa Katonda okuggyako ekyo kye tuyiga mu Bayibuli, era tuteekwa okugenda mu kitabo ekyo okumanya obulungi bwa Katonda bwe buli. Ka tuddeyo mu Abaruumi 2:2, 4, 5.” Bw’omala okusoma ennyiriri ezo, oyinza okwogera ekintu nga kino, “Kale, mukwano gwange, olaba nti ekisa kya Katonda kikuleeta mu kwenenya; ekigendererwa ky’obulungi bwe si kukuzzaamu maanyi mu kibi, era bwe tulinnyirira obulungi bwe, olwo tuba tweterekera ekiruyi ku lunaku lw’ekiruyi n’okubikkulirwa, Katonda lw’alisalirako omusango ogw’obutuukirivu.” Yokaana 8:21, 24 ne 3:36, bijja kulaga omuntu nti Katonda ne bw’aba mulungi atya, ajja kugaana bonna abagaana Omwana we. Engeri endala ey’okuyambamu abantu bano kwe kubalaga okuva mu Yokaana 5:40; 2 Peetero 3:9‒11 oba Ezeekyeri 33:11, nti si Katonda nnyo asuula abantu mu kuzikirira, wabula abantu be beezikiriza bokka wadde Katonda mulungi, kubanga tebaagala kujja eri Kristo n’okufuna obulamu bwe babawa obwereere. Oyinza okugamba nti “Katonda tayagala muntu yenna kubula, era akuwa obulamu obwereere, naye waliwo ekizibu kimu ekiri mu kkubo. Ka tuddeyo mu Yokaana 5:40, tulabe ekizibu ekyo bwe kiri.” Olwo osome ekyawandiikibwa: “Naye temwagala kujja gye ndi mulyoke mufune obulamu obutaggwaawo,” era ogambe nti, “Mukwano gwange, kino kye kizibu: toyagala kujja; obulamu bukuweebwa bwereere, naye bw’otobukkiriza, oteekwa okuzikirira.” 2 Peetero 2:4‒6, 9; Lukka 13:3, biraga engeri Katonda “omulungi” gy’akolamu abantu abanyiikira okukola ekibi. Oluusi ekyawandiikibwa kino ekisembayo kiyinza okukozesebwa obulungi mu ngeri eno: “Ogamba nti Katonda mulungi nnyo, tayinza kusuula muntu yenna mu ggeyeena. Kale ka tulabe Katonda yennyini ky’ayogera mu kigambo kye.” Olwo ozzeeyo ku kyawandiikibwa osome nti, “Mbagamba nti bwe muteenenya nammwe mugenda kuzikirira ng’abo bwe baazikirira.” Ddamu ekyawandiikibwa ekyo emirundi mingi okutuusa lwe kinaayingira ddala mu mutima gwe.

3. Ekibinja eky’okusatu eky’abo abalina essuubi ery’obulimba, be abo aboogera nti “Ngezaako okuba Omukristaayo.” Yokaana 1:12, kijja kubalaga nti si “kugezaako” kuba Omukristaayo, oba “kugezaako” kubeera mu bulamu obulungi, oba “kugezaako” kukola kintu kyonna Katonda ky’atusaba, wabula kwe kusembeza obusembeza Yesu Kristo, eyakola byonna; era oyinza okubuuza omunoonyi nti, “kaakano onooleka okugezaako kwo osembeze bw’ati Yesu nga Omulokozi wo?” Ebikolwa by’Abatume 16:31, kiraga nti Katonda tatusaba kugezaako kye tusobola kukola wabula okwesiga Yesu n’ebyo bye yakola era by’alikola. Abaruumi 3:23‒25, kiraga nti tetuliweebwa butuukirivu lwa kugezaako kukola, wabula “twaweebwa obutuukirivu bwa buwa olw’ekisa kye ekiri mu kununulibwa okuli mu Yesu Kristo” ku nsonga emu yokka ennyangu ey’okukkiriza.

4. Ekibinja ekirala nate eky’abo abalina essuubi ery’obulimba be abo aboogera nti, “Mpulira nga ŋŋenda mu ggulu,” oba “Mpulira nga ndokose.” Balage okuva mu Yokaana 3:36 nti ensonga si kye bawulira, wabula Katonda ky’ayogera, era Katonda ky’ayogera mu lwatu mu kigambo kye kiri nti, “oyo atakkiriza Mwana, taliraba bulamu era Katonda amusunguwalira.” Olunaku lumu olw’eggulo nnali njogera n’omukyala eyali afiiriddwa omwana we omu yekka wiiki ntono emabega. Omwana bwe yafa, omukyala oyo yali afaayo nnyo ku bulokozi, naye ebirowoozo ebyo eby’amaanyi byali bimuvuddeko nnyo. Ne mmubuuza nti, “Toyagala kugenda gye yagenda omwana wo omuto?” Amangwago n’addamu nti “Nsuubira okugendayo.” “Kiki ekikulowoozesa nti oligendayo?” ne mmubuuza. N’addamu nti, “Mpulira bwe ntyo, mpulira nga ndigenda mu ggulu bwe ndifa.” Awo ne mmubuuza obanga waliwo ekintu kyonna mu kigambo kya Katonda kye yali asobola okulaga, ekyamuwa ensonga ey’okukkiriza nti yali agenda mu ggulu bw’alifa. “Nedda,” bwe yagamba, “tewali.” Awo naye n’ankyukira n’ambuuza nti, “Ggwe osuubira okugenda mu ggulu bw’olifa?” “Yee,” ne mmuddamu, “Mmanyi nti ndigendayo.” “Okimanyi otya?” bwe yagamba. “Olina ekigambo kyonna okuva eri Katonda ekikikakasa?” “Yee,” ne mmuddamu, ne mmukyusiza ku Yokaana 3:36. Bw’atyo n’ayambibwa okulaba enjawulo wakati w’okukkiriza okwesigamye ku nneewulira ze n’okukkiriza okwesigamye ku kigambo kya Katonda.

Lukka 18:9‒14, nakyo kiyinza okukozesebwa mu ngeri eno; oyinza okugamba nti “waliwo omusajja mu Bayibuli eyawulira nti yali mutuufu, naye nga mukyamu ddala. Ka nkusomere ebimufaako.” Olwo osome ku Mufalisaayo eyali akakasa nnyo nti mutuufu, naye ng’ekiseera kyonna yali mwonoonyi atasonyiyiddwa; era oyambe omunoonyi okulaba nti enneewulira zaffe tezeesigika, n’omusingi gw’obukakafu bwe guli, kwe kugamba: ekigambo kya Katonda. Engero 14:12 nakyo kiyinza okukozesebwa ng’ekiraga nti “Waliwo ekkubo erirabika nga ttuufu eri omuntu, naye ng’enkomerero yaalyo kufa.”

5. Ekibinja ekisembayo eky’abo abalina essuubi ery’obulimba, be abo aboogera nti balokose so nga babeera mu bulamu obw’ekibi. Ku bibi bya ngeri nnyingi, ekyawandiikibwa ekirungi okukozesa ye 1 Abakkolinso 6:9‒10. 1 Yokaana 2:29 nakyo mu mbeera nnyingi kijja kusaanyaawo essuubi lino ery’obulimba. 1 Yokaana 5:4‒5 kya mugaso ng’ekiraga nti oyo ddala azaaliddwa Katonda awangula ensi, era ekyo nti babeera mu kibi era tebawangula nsi bwe bujulizi nti tebazaaliddwa Katonda.
