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

Ngesikhathi umphostoli uJohane ebhala incwadi yakhe yesithathu, abanye babesakaza izimfundiso zamanga ezazibangela ukwahlukana. Noma kunjalo, abanye baqhubeka “behamba eqinisweni.” Balalela uJehova futhi baqhubeka ‘behamba ngokwemiyalo yakhe.’ (2 Joh. 4, 6) La maKristu athembekile awajabulisanga uJohane kuphela kodwa ajabulisa noJehova. (IzAga 27:11) Sifundani thina? Sifunda ukuthi ukwethembeka kuletha injabulo. (1 Joh. 5:3) Ngokwesibonelo, kuyasithokozisa ukwazi ukuthi sijabulisa uJehova. Uyajabula lapho esibona senqaba izilingo ezisezweni bese samukela iqiniso. Izingelosi nazo ziyajabula ezulwini. (Luka 15:10) Nathi siyajabula lapho sibona abanye behlala bethembekile. (2 Thes. 1:4) Lapho izwe likaSathane selibhujisiwe, siyojabula ngokuthi sahlala siqotho kuJehova. w24.11 12 ¶17-18
