Idalwa Yini Inzondo Engaka?​—⁠Lithini IBhayibheli?

Ezindabeni, kancane kancane uzwa amazwi alumelayo, ubugebengu obuhambisana nonya, ukuhlukunyezwa kwabantu bolunye uhlanga, kanye nezimpi.

• “Ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, sezithe chithi saka izinkulumo ezihambisana nenzondo, zibangelwa impi ephakathi kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli nabaseGaza nangabantu abagqugquzela udlame nenzondo.”​—I-New York Times, Novemba 15, 2023.

• “Kusukela ngomhla ka-7 Okthoba, inzondo, izinkulumo ezilumelayo nobugebengu obuhambisana nonya, kuvele kwasabalala ngendlela eyisimanga.”​—UDennis Francis, umongameli woMkhandlu WeNhlangano Yezizwe, Novemba 3, 2023.

Izinkulumo ezinenzondo, udlame nezimpi, akuyona into entsha. IBhayibheli lithi kunabantu endulo, ‘abacija amazwi abo anonya njengemicibisholo,’ ababegqugquzela impi nodlame. (IHubo 64:3; 120:7; 140:1) Liphinde lisitshele ukuthi inzondo esiyibona namuhla iwuphawu lwento ebalulekile.

Inzondo​—Uphawu lwesikhathi esiphila kuso

IBhayibheli lembula izizathu ezimbili zokuthi kungani inzondo ithe chithi saka namuhla.

1. 1. Lathi kuyoba nesikhathi lapho “uthando lwabaningi luyophola.” (Mathewu 24:12) Esikhundleni sokuthandana, abantu babeyokwenza izinto ezidala inzondo.​—2 Thimothewu 3:1-5.

2. 2. Indlela abantu abazondana ngayo namuhla isitshela ukuthi kunethonya elibi likaSathane uDeveli. IBhayibheli lithi “lonke izwe lisemandleni omubi.”—1 Johane 5:19; IsAmbulo 12:9, 12.

Nokho, iBhayibheli liphinde lisitshele ukuthi maduze uNkulunkulu uzoqeda izinto ezidala inzondo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uzolungisa wonke umonakalo odalwe inzondo. IBhayibheli lithembisa lokhu:

• UNkulunkulu “uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, ukufa ngeke kusaba khona, noma ukulila noma ukukhala noma ubuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona. Izinto zakudala sezidlulile.”—IsAmbulo 21:4.
