INkosi uDavide yayimazi uJehova futhi yayithembela kuye. Lapho izitha zayo okuhlanganisa neNkosi uSawule zifuna ukuyibulala, yathandaza kuJehova yacela usizo. Ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu ephendule umthandazo wakhe futhi wamsindisa, uDavide wathi: “UJehova uyaphila!” (IHu. 18:46) Ngokusho la mazwi, uDavide wayengavumi nje kuphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Enye incwadi ibonisa ukuthi uDavide wayeveza ukuqiniseka ayenakho kokuthi uJehova “njengoNkulunkulu ophilayo uyohlale ebasiza abantu bakhe.” Ngempela, izinto uDavide abhekana nazo zamenza waqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhe uyaphila futhi lokho kuqiniseka kwamenza wazimisela nakakhulu ukukhonza uJehova nokumdumisa. (IHu. 18:​28, 29, 49) Ukuqiniseka ngokuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu ophilayo kungasisiza simkhonze ngentshiseko. Siyoba namandla okukhuthazelela uvivinyo, sikhuthazeke nokuba siqhubeke sisebenza kanzima enkonzweni yakhe. Sizozimisela nokuhlale sisondelene noJehova. w24.06 20-21 ¶3-4

Singafundani emazwini umphostoli uPawulu awabhalela abaseThesalonika? Lapho sizwa into engahambisani nalokho esikufunde eBhayibhelini noma sizwa indaba eshaqisayo, kudingeka sisebenzise ukuqonda. Ezweni elalikade liyiSoviet Union, izitha zethu zake zasakaza incwadi okwakuthiwa ivela endlunkulu yomhlaba wonke. Le ncwadi yayikhuthaza abanye abazalwane ukuba bazenzele enye inhlangano ezimele. Le ncwadi yayibonakala sengathi eyangempela. Kodwa abafowethu abathembekile abazange bakhohliseke. Babona ukuthi umyalezo osencwadini wawungahambisani nalokho ababekufundisiwe. Namuhla, ngezinye izikhathi izitha zeqiniso zisebenzisa ezobuchwepheshe ukuze zizame ukusidida nokusihlukanisa. Kunokuba ‘sinyakaziswe kalula ekuqondeni kwethu,’ singazivikela ngokucabanga ngokuthi lokho esikuzwayo noma esikufundayo kuyavumelana yini namaqiniso esesiwafundile kakade.—2 Thes. 2:2; 1 Joh 4:1. w24.07 12 ¶14-15

Isinqumo esibaluleke kunazo zonke umuntu angasenza isinqumo sokuzinikezela kuJehova nokuba yilungu lomndeni wezikhonzi zaKhe. UJehova ufisa ukuba wonke umuntu enze kanjalo. Kungani? Ufuna wonke umuntu abe umngani wakhe futhi aphile phakade. (Dut. 30:​19, 20; Gal. 6:​7, 8) Nokho uJehova akaphoqi muntu ukuba amkhonze. Uvumela umuntu ngamunye ukuba azinqumele ukuthi uzokwenzani. Yini okufanele yenziwe uma umKristu obhapathiziwe ephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu, enza isono esikhulu? Uma engaphenduki, kumele asuswe ebandleni. (1 Kor. 5:13) Noma kunjalo, uJehova ufisa ngempela ukuba leso soni sibuyele kuye. Empeleni, isizathu esibalulekile esamenza walungiselela isihlengo ukuba akwazi ukuthethelela izoni eziphendukayo. UNkulunkulu wethu onothando unxusa labo abenze izono ezinkulu ukuba baphenduke.—Zak. 1:3; Roma 2:4; Jak. 4:8. w24.08 14 ¶1-2
