Wana wa MUNGU WA ROHO na MUNGU

Wana wa MUNGU WA ROHO na MUNGU
Utukufu.

"Ikiwa kwa njia ya Roho mnayahalalisha matendo ya mwili, nyinyi
ataishi. Kwa maana wale wote wanaoongozwa na Roho wa Mungu, wao
ni watoto wa Mungu "- Warumi 8:. 13.14
 
Wale pekee walio na roho nzuri, tabia, nia au nia, wanaweza kushika sheria ya Kimungu, na ni wale tu walio katika maelewano kamili na Mungu atawatambua kama wana. malaika watakatifu ni wana wa Mungu kwenye ndege malaika; na Kristo na Kanisa kwa utukufu ni wana wa Mungu kwenye ndege ya Kiungu. Wote hawa ni wana wa Mungu, lakini wapo kwenye ndege tofauti. Wote wametawaliwa na Roho wa Mungu; na kama walikuwa na kwamba Roho, hawakuweza kutambuliwa kama wana; kwa kuwa hakuna mtu anayeweza kushika sheria ya Kiungu isipokuwa wale ambao wana tabia ya Kiungu.

Kabla Adam akaanguka alikuwa mwana wa Mungu. (Luka 3:38) Alikuwa na Roho wa Mungu, kwa maana ya kuwa na roho inayofaa, nia, nia, kusudi. Lakini baada ya kuwa mkosaji wa Sheria ya Kiungu, alichukuliwa kuwa mwenye dhambi. Jamii yote ya Adamu bado ni wenye dhambi isipokuwa wale ambao wamekuja ndani ya Kristo. Katika utawala wa miaka elfu, hata hivyo, mbio Adamu atakuwa na fursa ya kuja katika Kristo. Atakuwa Baba wa Milele, Baba ambaye atawapa uzima wa milele wale wote watakaotii maagizo waliyopewa chini ya Ufalme wa Kimesiya.

Ili kufikia hali ya kibali Divine mwanadamu lazima awe na roho ya Kweli, na lazima kuendelezwa pamoja mstari huo. Kabla ya kuhesabiwa, au kutambuliwa, kama wana, lazima wawe na roho, au tabia, ya haki. Mpaka wapate roho hiyo, hawataweza kutoa huduma inayokubalika; kwa maana Bwana anatafuta kama wamwabudu yeye kama wamwabudu yeye kwa roho na kweli. Katika hali wanadamu zao walioanguka hawawezi kushika Sheria Mungu. Hata wakati wa Enzi ya Milenia wataiweka kwa sehemu tu, mpaka watakaporejeshwa kwa sura ya Mungu kwa mwili. — Mwanzo 1:26.
 
 
Nani ni mwana  wa Mungu?8

Kufikia sasa kuna idadi ndogo ya wana wa Mungu duniani, kulingana na maandiko. Katika Enzi zote za Wayahudi Mungu alikuwa Mwalimu na Mwongozo wa watu wake kupitia Musa na Manabii; lakini Waisraeli hawakuwa wana wa Mungu, na hawakuwa na roho ya kuzaa Roho. Kinyume chake, walikuwa tu Baraza la Watumishi. (Waebrania 3: 5) Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu alikuwa bado hajapewa yoyote ya kabila lililoanguka; kwa Yesu bado glorified.-Yohana 7:39.

Maandiko yanazungumza juu ya Roho wa Mungu kama ushawishi maalum kutoka kwa Mungu juu ya darasa maalum, kwa njia maalum, kwani tukio fulani-na sio kabla ya tukio hilo. Kuja kwa Roho huu kudhihirishwa wakati wa Pentekosti, ili iweze kujitenga na kutofautisha na kitu chochote ambacho kilikuwahi kutokea. Nguvu hii, au ushawishi, inaitwa Roho Mtakatifu, Roho wa Mungu, Roho wa Kristo, Roho wa Ukweli, Roho wa akili timamu, Roho wa uwana. sifa mbalimbali ilivyoelezwa na appellations haya yote ni husika kwa darasa moja; yaani, wale ambao wamezaliwa na Roho.

Hizi ndio waliozaliwa kwa roho ni darasa fulani ambao wamechukua juu wafuasi wao msalaba na kuwa ya Kristo, na ambao wako kwenye akaunti hii alitambua wa Baba kwa begetting ya Roho Mtakatifu. Roho huyu wa Ukweli anaangazia Bibilia ili Ufunuo wa Mungu uweze kueleweka vizuri na wale ambao wana Roho Mtakatifu. Wanaweza kuelewa mambo ya Mungu, ambayo hayawezi kueleweka bila hayo. Wakati wengine wasio na Roho huyu wa Mungu wanaweza kupata ukweli kutoka kwa Maandiko, darasa hili maalum huwa na kiini cha ukweli.
 
Baadhi kawaida inayotolewa kwa Mungu

Tunakumbuka maandiko kadhaa ambayo yanazungumza juu ya uwongozi wa watu wa Mungu kabla ya kuzaa Roho Mtakatifu. Akizungumza aina ya kuchora yaliyokuja kwa wale ambao baadaye kuwa wanafunzi wake, Bwana wetu alisema, "Hakuna mtu awezaye kuja kwangu, ila Baba; aliyemtuma Me kuteka yake." (Yohana 6:44) Mchoro huu sio kazi ya Roho Mtakatifu kuzaa, ambayo huja kwa wale waliokubaliwa na Mungu kupitia Kristo na kupokelewa kama wana. Badala yake, yale ambayo Maandiko yanazungumza kama mchoro wa Mungu, na ambayo sote tumepata uzoefu, inaonekana kuwa mchoro wa asili kwenye mistari ya mwili, sio kwa vitu vya dhambi, lakini kwa utakatifu, bado kwenye mistari ambayo ni ya kwa mtu wa asili.

Kwa mfano, wakati Mungu aliumba Adamu, asili angeweza kumpenda Mungu, asili angeweza kutamani kumtumikia Mungu, kwa kawaida atakuwa na hamu ya kuwa mtiifu kwa Mungu na kumwabudu. Tamaa hizi zote zilikuwa za asili kwake kwa sababu alikuwa katika hali ya asili- hali ambayo aliumbwa-safi. Sin imefanya watu yasiyo ya asili. Lakini hata baada ya dhambi kuingia ndani na kupotosha tabia ya asili ambayo Mungu alitoa, matamanio fulani kwa Mungu yalibaki ndani ya moyo wa mwanadamu — hata kati ya watu waliopotoka. Badala yake wangekubaliana naye, kuwa na uhusiano naye, kuwa naye kama Mlinzi wao na Rafiki.

Mungu hakuchota wanadamu kwa njia nyingine yoyote ile isipokuwa ile nguvu ya asili aliyoweka na ambayo haijapotea kabisa kupitia anguko la mbio ya Adamu. wanadamu wote na yamesababisha kutoka mfano wa Mungu; lakini hamu ya kuabudu, kwa haki, na maelewano na Mungu, ina nguvu sana kwa watu wengine kuliko kwa wengine. Katika sehemu kama tamaa moja haki, kwa uwiano kwamba mtu inayotolewa kwa Mungu, anahisi baada Mungu, kama labda yeye ndiye anaweza kupata Muumba wake. Anajisikia baada ya Mungu kwa sababu anatamani kumpata.
 
JINSI INAFANIKIWA

Hii ndio mchoro, tunaamini, ambayo inakuja kwa kila mmoja wetu. Kabla ya kujitoa kwa Mungu katika kujitolea, tulikuwa na hamu ya kuja kwake, na hamu hiyo ilikuwa kitu kilichoamsha ndani yetu. Lakini ilikuwa pale kabla ya kuamka. Halafu kitu kilitokea ambacho kiligeuza mawazo kuelekea Mungu. Labda ilikuwa huzuni kubwa, maafa kadhaa, ambayo yalivuta moyo kwa Mungu; na ikawa na hisia kwamba huzuni yetu inapaswa kuchukuliwa kwake. Pamoja na hamu hiyo, labda wazo lilikuja, "Mungu hatanisikiza." Huu ni hitimisho sahihi kabisa, kwa kuwa hakuna njia ya kumkaribia Mungu isipokuwa kupitia Mkombozi, ambaye alisema, "Mimi ndimi Njia, Ukweli na Uzima."

Kama vile mkuu wa Kirumi Kornelio alihitaji mafundisho juu ya jinsi ya kumkaribia Mungu, vivyo hivyo roho inayojisikia baada ya msaada wa Kiungu pia inahitaji maagizo. Kwa kweli tunaamini kwamba maelfu ya maelfu wamegeuzwa mbali na Mungu kwa sababu ya uwongo wa uwongo wa tabia Yake ya haki. Wakati watu wataanza kugundua kuwa Mungu wetu ni mwenye upendo, mwenye haki, na rehema, watamgeukia.

Tunaamini, hii ndio njia ambayo tunavutiwa na Baba, ambaye ushawishi wake unahusiana na kila kitu kizuri na chenye usawa katika maumbile. Sio mpaka tuwe na hamu ya kurudi kwa Mungu tunako tayari kuelekezwa na Wakili mkuu; Kwa maana tunapokuja kwa Wakili, anasema waziwazi, "Siwezi kukupokea isipokuwa kwa hali moja." Hali hiyo, anatuambia, ni kwamba tunachukua msalaba wetu na kumfuata. (Mathayo 16:24) Kwa sababu hiyo haingekuwa jambo la busara kumwambia mtu yeyote juu ya njia nyembamba isipokuwa alikuwa na mtu fulani wa kumkaribia Mungu.

Tunaona, basi, tofauti dhahiri kabisa kati ya kuchora kwa Baba - mchoro ambao unaendelea kila mahali-na kile kilichoandikwa huitwa Roho wa Mungu. Roho huyo hupewa wana wa Mungu tu. "Wote wanaoongozwa na Roho wa Mungu, ni wana wa Mungu." (Warumi 8:14) Roho huyo anawashikilia, akiwaongoza kwa njia mbali mbali - nyakati nyingine kwa kuweka mali mikononi mwao, wakati mwingine kwa kuiondoa kwao, wakati mwingine kwa kuruhusu ugonjwa kuja. Uzoefu wa wana hawa wa Mungu unawawezesha kukua katika neema, katika maarifa na upendo, ili waweze kutoshea na kuwa tayari kwa nafasi kwenye ndege ya roho.
 
ROHO ALIKUA PEKEE ZAIDI WENGI WOTE

Wakati wa Enzi ya Milenia mambo yatakuwa tofauti na yale waliyonayo sasa. Kristo atakuwa na wawakilishi katika awamu ya kidunia ya Ufalme, na kupitia kwao Neno la Mungu litapita kwa watu. Wote watakaovutiwa kwa Mungu watakuwa na pendeleo la kuwa na uhusiano naye kupitia kujitolea. Basi watapokea Roho wa Mungu kwa maana ya baraka, lakini sio kwa maana ya kuzaa, kama Kanisa linavyoipokea sasa.

Wanaofaa wa Waebrania 11, watakuwa wawakilishi wa kidunia wa Ufalme wa Kimesiya. Kristo, hata hivyo, atakuwa Mwalimu mkubwa katika utukufu, ambaye mafundisho yote yatatoka kwa wawakilishi hawa wa kidunia. Wakati watu wanaanza kupata kweli, ujuzi wa kweli juu ya tabia tukufu ya Mungu, wataanza kuona jinsi walivyo duni. Basi watakuwa katika hali ya kupokea mafundisho.

Hakuna mtu atakayelazimishwa kuwa na mafundisho, hata hivyo; lakini ye yote anayepingana na Ufalme atakuwa na vizuizi kuwekwa. Nabii Zekaria, akizungumzia mambo ya kidunia chini ya Ufalme, anasema, "Na itakuwa kwamba mtu yeyote ambaye hatatoka kwa familia zote za ulimwengu kwenda Yerusalemu kumwabudu Mfalme, Bwana wa majeshi, hata juu yao atakuwa hakuna mvua. " (Zekaria 14: 17) Ikiwa tutatafsiri neno kwa njia ya mfano, tunaona kwamba wazo ni kwamba juu ya mataifa kama hayo hakutakuwa na baraka ya Kiungu-ikiwa kungekuwa hakuna mvua, kusingekuwa na matunda. Lakini mvua, baraka, ingekuwa juu ya wale ambao wangekubaliana na Bwana.

Wakati watu watapatana na Mungu, watajitolea maisha yao na miili yao kwa huduma Yake. Basi wataanza kupata baraka katika akili zao na miili yao; na kwa maana hii ya neno watapata zaidi ya Roho wa Bwana - Roho wa akili Yake. Kwa hivyo kupitia ukweli wake na kupitia hukumu za Kiungu za wakati huo, Bwana "atamwaga Roho wake juu ya mwili wote." (Yoeli 2:28) Kwa sehemu wanapopokea Roho wake, watakuwa katika hali ya kuwa wana.

Lakini hata wakati huo hawangekuwa wana kwa maana kamili ya kipindi hicho. Tunaweza kusema kuwa Kanisa sio wana kwa maana kamili ya neno, lakini kwamba tutakuwa wana kwa kweli wakati tutakuwa tumepata mabadiliko yetu ya ufufuo. Kwa hivyo katika Enzi ya Milenia, kadiri watu wanavyopatana na Ufalme wa Kimesiya uliopangwa na Mungu, watakuwa wanakaribia karibu zaidi na kiwango cha ukuu. Mwisho wa Enzi ya Milenia watakuwa wamepata hali hiyo ya mawazo ambayo Adamu alikuwa nayo wakati alikuwa kamili. Baraka zote hizi watapata kupitia Kristo na Kanisa Lake linalohusika.
 
KAZI YA ROHO KWA KANISA

Kwa sababu Bwana wetu atatoa uzima wa milele kwa ulimwengu wa wanadamu, Anaitwa "Baba wa Milele," Baba anayetoa uzima wa milele. (Isaya 9: 6) Wote walio tayari na watiifu watakuwa watoto Wake wakati wa Milenia. Halafu mwisho wa Ufalme wa Kimesiya watoto wa Kristo wataletwa kwa Baba yao Mkubwa. Kwa kuwa watakuwa wana wa Kristo, ambaye ni Mwana wa Mungu, Baba wa Mbingu atakuwa baba yao Mkuu. Ndipo ulimwengu wote utarudiana na Mungu kama wana wa Kristo.

Wakati wa Enzi hii ya Injili, hata hivyo, Mungu hafanyi kazi kwenye ulimwengu. Chochote kilicho katika ulimwengu wa uzuri wa asili ni matokeo ya utendaji wa Nguvu ya Mungu kwa njia ya jumla. Nakala yetu haimaanishi operesheni hii ya Nguvu ya Mungu, au Roho, lakini ushawishi Wake juu ya mioyo ya wanadamu. Katika maandishi ya Agano Jipya inahusu wale ambao wamekuwa watu wake kwa kujitolea wakfu na kisha kuzaliwa na Roho Mtakatifu kama Viumbe vipya katika Kristo. (2 Kor. 5:17) Wote hawa wanapata utunzaji maalum wa Kiungu.

Maandiko yanazungumza juu ya Roho wa Kweli, Roho wa Baba, Roho wa Kristo. Hizi zote ni maneno yanayofanana, ambayo yanawakilisha ushawishi wa Kiungu unaotumiwa juu ya watu wa Mungu. Kwa kuwa tumezaliwa na Roho, tunapaswa kukumbuka kuwa, kama mtume anavyoonyesha, tunapaswa kukamilishwa. Lazima tufanye maendeleo fulani. Tunaendelea mpaka mwishowe tunazaliwa katika Ufufuo wa Kwanza. Ukamilifu utapatikana wakati huo, sio hapo awali. Wakati huo huo, ili kuwa tayari kwa ufufuo huo, ukuaji fulani lazima ufanyike.
 
KUFANYA BURE KWA DHAMBI ZA ROHO

Kwa kweli mtume anaelezea jinsi tunaweza kufikia hali hii ya maisha, jinsi ya kujitayarisha kwa kuzaliwa kwa Roho kwa wakati unaofaa. Anasema kwamba kama a maendeleo yatafikiwa kupitia Roho, au Power, wa Mungu. Roho huyu hufanya kazi kwa njia mbali mbali. Kwa mfano, neno la Mungu inatumika kwa Kanisa. Kwa hivyo tunapoelewa zaidi Mpango wa Mungu, kubwa litakuwa Nguvu hiyo mioyoni mwetu; na kadiri ya kujitolea kwetu kwa mapenzi ya Kimungu, ndivyo tutakavyokuwa na huruma zaidi na zaidi itakuwa hamu yetu ya kufanya radhi njema ya Kiungu.

Mabadiliko yanayoendelea ndani ya mioyo yetu sio ya wanadamu wala ya wanadamu. Mungu alianza kazi hii ndani yetu. Kwa hivyo lazima tumtazamie Yeye kukamilisha kazi ambayo ameianzisha mioyoni mwetu na Ujumbe ambao ametupa. Hivyo sisi kwenda kwake kwa maombi, na sisi kujifunza neno lake, kujua maana ya neno hilo na hivyo kuwezeshwa ili kuweka katika kujieleza katika maisha yetu. Kama tunahitaji chakula kuimarisha mwili na damu, hivyo ni lazima pia kuwa na chakula cha kiroho kuimarisha New kiumbe. Hii chakula cha kiroho Mungu ametupa wingi, ili tuweze kupata nguvu za kiroho kuelewa mapenzi yake bora kuliko kabla.

Operesheni hii ya Mungu katika Roho Mtakatifu ni kazi taratibu. Kwa hivyo tunaadhiriwa na makosa ya imani zetu za zamani kwamba hatujajiandaa kuona vitu vya Mungu vya kwanza hapo kwanza. Kwa hiyo, tunahitaji kujifunza, kukutana pamoja na wale wenye imani nzuri. Hivyo, sisi ni kusaidiwa kuona mambo ya ndani.
 
MAPENZI YA MUNGU KUTUHUSU

Tunapokuja kuelewa jambo kwa uwazi zaidi, mawazo yetu juu ya mada ya mabadiliko hatua kwa hatua. Wakati sisi kwanza alikuja Mungu, tulikuwa na wazo kwamba mapenzi ya Mungu kwetu sisi ni kwamba tunapaswa kufurahia sisi wenyewe, kuishi vizuri, maisha ya maadili, na utunzaji wa miili yetu; na kwamba ikiwa sisi ni watu wa Mungu, tunapaswa kuwa na mengi; na kwamba wale ambao hawawezi kuishi kupatana na Mungu wataangamizwa. Hii itakuwa mawazo ya mtu wa asili. Mtume anasema kwamba mtu wa asili haziwezi kuona vitu vya Roho wa Mungu, kwa sababu vinatambuliwa kiroho. Lakini hii ni si njia yote ya Mungu ya kushughulika na sisi.

Kwa na tunaanza kugundua kuwa Baba yetu wa Mbingu hutuandaa kwa ajili ya vitu vya kiroho kwa kutuonyesha jinsi ya kuharibu hali ya kidunia na jinsi hii itakamilika. Hii ni wazo mpya kwetu, na tunaomba sisi wenyewe, Je, Mungu unataka mimi mortify, kuzima, kuharibu, hali ya kidunia? Je, mimi si kutafuta kulima vipaji yangu na kuishi maisha ya kawaida?
Mtu wa asili anasema, Fuata vitu vya asili; fanya kadiri unavyopenda muda mrefu isipokuwa hauingiliani na haki za wengine. Lakini Kiumbe New sio kutii mielekeo ya asili ya mwili. Tumewauliza Bwana atubadilishe, turekebishe akili zetu, na mwishowe atupatie ahadi zake. Kwa hivyo, sisi sio wa ulimwengu hata kidogo, na mwendo wetu ni kuwa ile iliyoainishwa katika maandiko.
 
Kazi ya kiumbe kipya

Maandishi yetu haimaanishi kuwa tunastahili kuiimarisha miili yetu kwa njia ambayo wengine wamefikiria. Kulingana na historia, huko nyuma kumekuwa na mioyo dhabiti ambayo zamani ilitumia mijeledi kwenye miili yao hadi ikazaa maumivu makali, halafu wamevaa koti za nywele, nk Wakati mwingine mateso haya ya mwili yamebebwa hadi sasa ngozi itafunikwa na ngozi vidonda. Wengine wameamua kuiboresha miili yao kwa kulala chini ili kuelekezwa, nk Hatuwezi kuhoji kwamba mtu yeyote anayefanya mambo haya lazima awe na nia ya kufanya hivyo, na hatuwezi kufikiria ni nia mbaya; lakini, tunaamini kwamba wale ambao hufanya vitu kama hivyo wana maoni mabaya ya maana ya maandishi yetu.

Kwa usemi, "Thibitisha vitendo vya mwili," maandiko yanamaanisha kwamba watu wa Mungu wanapaswa kuua ndani yao mazoea yote ya asili ambayo hayapatani na Roho wa Mungu. Sote tuko kuzaliwa wenye dhambi, Biblia inatangaza, na kwa hiyo sisi ni kutofuata bent ya asili yetu ya kuanguka. Sisi ni kuwa na Roho wa Mungu, Roho Mtakatifu, ambayo kutuongoza katika njia ambayo tunapaswa kwenda. Sisi ni mortify kila mwelekeo wa mwili ambao si indorsed na akili mpya.

Kuna sifa fulani za mwili wa kibinadamu ambazo zinafaa kuharibiwa, na kwa hivyo zinapaswa kupigwa vita dhidi ya wakati wote. Basi kuna sifa zingine ambazo zinapaswa kutumiwa katika huduma ya haki. Mara moja tulikuwa chini ya dhambi; lakini sasa tuna akili mpya. Tangu sasa tunapaswa kutibu kiumbe cha zamani kama chombo cha udongo tu. Kwa uongozi wa Roho Mtakatifu, tunapaswa kujua jinsi ya kufanya hivyo. Hatua ya kwanza katika mchakato huo ni kuchukua mwili wetu umekufa. Baada wanaoonekana ni wafu kwa dhambi na kwa kila kitu ya asili duniani, sisi ni kisha kuzidhibiti hai kwa maana ya kuamsha, kufurukuta, kila tabia, sifa, ambazo zinaweza kuletwa katika huduma ya Mungu. Hii ni hatua ya pili.
 
BAADA YA DHAMBI YA ROHO-KUANZA

Baada ya kuzaliwa na Roho, sisi ni Viumbe vipya. Kwa kila maana ya neno tuko huru kutoka kwa miili yetu. Sehemu yoyote ya maumbile yetu ya kibinadamu ambayo tunapata kuwa inapingana na Mungu na mapenzi Yake tutarekebisha, kufa, mara tu tutakapogundua. Utaratibu huu ni mapigano ya kudumu dhidi ya, mapigano dhidi, asili ya zamani. Mtume anaiita wazi kuwa ni vita kati ya mwili na Roho (Warumi 7: 19-25). Lakini wakati tunapigana dhidi ya vitu kadhaa ambavyo vimekufa kihalali, tunaona kwamba mwili haukufa kweli. Lakini kama sisi kuishi kwa mujibu wa Roho, na si kwa jinsi ya mwili, Mungu si kutambua mwili, wala itakuwa sisi. Tutatambua kiumbe kipya tu.

vita ni moja ya kila siku. wanachama wetu wote lazima kuletwa katika umoja na Mungu na mapenzi yake. Tunapaswa kujaribu kuona kila kitu kwa maoni ya kimungu. mawazo ni kwamba tutakuwa milele kukamilisha maumbo haya ya kufa, lakini kuwa wakati sisi ni wanaoishi duniani na kuwa na kufanya na maumbo haya, basi ni juu yetu na haki yetu ya kufanya mwili kufanya mapenzi ya New kiumbe.

miili yetu walikuwa watumwa kwa Sin. Sasa sisi husema, "Nina haki ya kudhibiti mwili huu. Mimi ni Kiumbe Mpya, lakini hii ni mwili wangu. Nami kuongeza uwezo wangu juu ya mwili huu, na matumizi yake zaidi na zaidi katika utumishi wa Bwana. Ni si nia yangu kufanya mambo-to wajinga leap kutoka kilele, ili kuona kama mwili wangu utabaki hai, lakini chini ya uongozi wa Roho Mtakatifu, mimi ni kupata nje yake zaidi kwamba mimi unaweza, katika utumishi wa mpya Mwalimu. "

Hii yote ni muhimu kwa maendeleo yetu katika herufi. Mungu ameita Kanisa kwa utukufu, heshima, kutokufa na urithi wa pamoja na Kristo. Kama hatuwezi kuthibitisha washindi, tutakuwa kamwe kuwa tayari kwa muda kubwa kuinuliwa. Nafasi hii iliyoinuliwa haitapewa mtu yeyote kwa sababu anasema kwamba anatamani kuwa kitu tofauti na kile alivyo. Kinyume chake, ni lazima kazi wokovu wetu wenyewe kwa kuogopa na kutetemeka. Wale wanaodai kujitolea kabisa kwa Mungu lazima waonyeshe hii kwa kuondoa kila kitu ambacho ni kinyume na mapenzi ya Mungu. Kama hawa wanataka kujenga tabia, watakuwa na kukua "nguvu katika uwezo wa nguvu zake." Wale ambao watafuata kozi hii hadi mwisho ni darasa Analoita, na wale tu watathibitisha kuwa wanastahili mahali pa kupewa "zaidi ya washindi."
 
Kujirekebisha katika dhiki

Ulimwengu utakuwa na miaka elfu wakati wa kuzifanya miili yao ipatikane na mapenzi ya Mungu. Hatua kwa hatua wanadamu watakuja mahali ambapo watakuwa waaminifu kabisa kwa Bwana. Moyo wa mawe utaondolewa. Kwa wote wale ambao kwa njia ya utii kufikia hali hii Mungu itakuwa radhi kwa kutoa uhai wa milele.

Lakini kwa Kanisa ni tofauti. Wakati wa nyakati hizi za injili ya Bwana ni kuchagua na kuongoza wale zao wenyewe watatamani kuyatoa maisha yao katika ibada yake. Wanapenda yeye naye ni radhi kuwaita watakatifu wake. Hakuna kitu kizuri Yeye atakataza darasa hili (Zaburi 84:11). Jicho halijapata kuyaona, sikio aliye si habari, ni Mungu aliye katika reservation kwa ajili ya wale kwamba upendo kwake (Isaya 64: 4; 1 Wakorintho 2: 9) yaani, wale ambao kwa njia ya kuwekwa wakfu mtoto wa Roho Mtakatifu, na ambao ni kwenda mbele neema kwa neema, na kuishi kufuata mambo ya mwili, bali mambo ya roho (Warumi 8:13, Wagalatia 5:25). Kwa darasa hili Mungu imetoa mambo wake bora sana.

Kwa darasa hili Maandiko kutangaza kwamba "kupitia dhiki nyingi ni lazima kuingia katika utawala wa Mungu." (Matendo 14:22) Wengine wanaweza kusema kwamba hizi na wakati mgumu. Lakini Wakristo wote wanaweza kukubaliana kuwa inawezekana kufikia kiwango hicho cha maendeleo ambapo mtu anaweza kufurahi katika uzoefu huu wote ambao mwili unakuwa unajisiwa, umekufa. Hii sio kwa sababu sisi ni tofauti sana na watu wengine kwamba tunapenda kile wasichopenda, lakini kwa sababu tunaona sababu inayosababisha dhiki hii inaruhusiwa. Tunajua kwamba hii ni mpango wa Mungu kwa ajili yetu; na kwa ushuhuda huu wa uharibifu wa mapenzi ya mwili, mambo ya mwili, tunaona kwamba tunakua katika neema ya Baba yetu wa Mbingu.

Haya amani ya Mungu tawala katika mioyo yao. Wanajua kuwa mambo yao yote yapo chini ya usimamizi wa Kiungu. dunia na matatizo yao na hofu na forebodings. Lakini wale ambao wameweka imani yao katika Bwana na amani ambayo ulimwengu hauwezi wala kutoa wala kuchukua mbali. Lakini hatuwezi kueleza kwa dunia; kwa kuwa hawawezi kuielewa. — Wafilipi 4: 7; Yohana 14:27
