8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works so that no one can boast.
What is the difference between living under the law and living under grace?
The curse of the Law says, “The wages of sin is death”; Grace says, “The gift of God is eternal life.” The curse of the Law says, “The soul that sinneth it shall die”; Grace says, “Believe and live.” The curse of the Law was done away in Christ; Grace abides forever. The curse of the Law puts us under bondage; Grace sets us in the liberty of the sons of God (Rom 12:1).
Christ nailed the curse of the Law to a tree not God's laws. We are required to keep God's instructions. 21 Steps of Salvation
Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
6 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
Slaves to Righteousness
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord.
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless
Faith is the connecting power into the spiritual realm, which links us with God and makes Him become a tangible reality to the sense perceptions of a person. Faith is the basic ingredient to begin a relationship with God.
Lona nguGrace
Amanye amaKristu asikisela ukuthi ukuba nomusa kaNkulunkulu kusho ukuthi sikhululekile ukuqhubeka esonweni futhi ngeke sahlulelwe ngenxa yalokho. Futhi itholakala kuphela eTestamenteni Elisha, kodwa yini le
ITestamente Elisha lithini?” Wake wezwa umuntu ethi iTestamente Elidala lalingaphansi komthetho kodwa emva kwesiphambano, singaphansi komusa? Hhayi-ke, kusho ukuthini lokho?
Uyini umusa? Cabanga ukuthi umusa usho ukuthini kuwe. Manje ake sihlole imiBhalo YeTestamente Elisha.”
Ukuphila ngoMoya
17 Ngokuba inyama ikhanuka okuphambene noMoya, noMoya ukhanuka okuphambene nenyama. Bamelene omunye komunye, ukuze ningenzi enikuthandayo. …18 Kepha uma niholwa nguMoya, aniphansi komthetho. KwabaseGalathiya 5:18
IzEnzo 5:1-10 Kepha indoda ethile, u-Ananiya igama layo, inoSafira umkayo, yathengisa ngempahla, nomkayo ekwazi, yagodla enye yentengo, yaletha ingxenye yemali kuphela. inxenye yawo wayibeka ngasezinyaweni zabaphostoli. Kepha uPetru wathi: “Ananiya, kungani uSathane egcwalise inhliziyo yakho ukuba uqambe amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, uzibekele enye yemali yensimu? Nakuba ingathengiswanga, ayizange ibe ngeyakho na? Futhi ngemva kokuba selithengisiwe, lalingekho esandleni sakho? Kungani ucebe lesisenzo enhliziyweni yakho? Awuqambanga amanga kumuntu kodwa kuNkulunkulu.” Lapho u-Ananiya ezwa la mazwi, wawa phansi wafa. Futhi ukwesaba okukhulu kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abezwa ngakho. Zasukuma izinsizwa zamsonga zamkhiphela phandle zammbela. Ngemva kwesikhathi esingaba ngamahora amathathu, kwangena umkakhe, engazi ukuthi kwenzekeni. UPetru wathi kuye: “Ngitshele, uma isiqinti nathengisa kangaka na? Futhi wathi, "Yebo, ngokuningi." Kepha uPetru wathi kuye: “Kungani ukuba nivumelene ukulinga uMoya weNkosi na? Bheka, izinyawo zalabo abangcwabe indoda yakho zisemnyango, futhi bayokukhiphela ngaphandle. wahle wawa phansi ezinyaweni zakhe, waphefumula; Lapho izinsizwa zingena, zamthola efile, zamkhiphela ngaphandle zammbela eduze kwendoda yakhe.
Wow! U-Ananiya noSafira baqamba amanga ebandleni mayelana nemali yempahla yabo ethengisiwe. UPetru wabe esethi babengaqambi amanga kumuntu kodwa kuMoya oNgcwele, base beshaywa bafa! Ngempela? Ushaywe wafa?!? Ingabe lowo umusa?
Jakobe 5:9 Ningakhononi, bazalwane, ukuze ningahlulelwa; bheka, uMahluleli umi ngasemnyango. “Ningakhononi ngomunye nomunye, noma niyakwahlulelwa”? Ingabe lokho kuzwakala njengomusa? Kumelwe kube njalo, ngoba yilokho esikuyo... akunjalo?
KwabaseGalathiya 1:9 Njengoba sesishilo ngaphambili, namanje ngiyaphinda ngithi: Uma umuntu enishumayeza ivangeli eliphambene nalelo enalamukelayo, makabe ngoqalekisiweyo. Ukuqalekiswa kungumusa?” KumaHeberu 10:26-31 Ngokuba uma siqhubeka sona ngamabomu emva kokuba sesamukele ukwazi kweqiniso, awusekho umhlatshelo wezono, kepha ukulindela okwesabekayo ukwahlulelwa, nolaka lomlilo ozakuqeda izitha. Oweqa umthetho kaMose uyafa engenasihawu ngomlomo wofakazi ababili noma abathathu. Nicabanga ukuthi kufanele yini isijeziso esibi kakhulu kulowo onyathele phansi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ongcolise igazi lesivumelwano angcweliswa ngalo, futhi enengekile uMoya womusa? Ngoba siyamazi owathi: “Ngeyami impindiselo; ngizobuyisela mina.” Futhi, “INkosi iyokwahlulela abantu bayo.” Kuyesabeka ukuwela ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu ophilayo. Hewu. Makholwa, abangalaleli ngamabomu bayoqedwa kanye nabamelene noNkulunkulu? Ingabe lokho kuzwakala njengomusa kuwe? Kufanele kube njalo, ngoba yilokho esingaphansi kwaso. Pho, uyini umusa? Umbuzo omkhulu lowo. Mhlawumbe umbuzo ongcono uwukuthi, uyini umusa? Umusa AKUSIYO imvume yokona, futhi akusiyo imvume yokunganaki isono.
KwabaseRoma 6:1-2 Ngakho siyakuthini na? Siqhubeke esonweni ukuze kwande umusa?
Nakanjani! Thina esafa esonweni singahlala kanjani kuso na? 1 KWABASEKORINTE 5:1-5 Kuyazwakala ukuthi kukhona ubufebe phakathi kwenu, nobubi obungemukeleki naphakathi kwabezizwe, ngokuba indoda inomkayise. Futhi uyazidla! Akufanele yini kunalokho nilile? Okwenzile lokho makasuswe phakathi kwenu. Ngokuba noma ngingekho ngomzimba, ngikhona ngomoya; futhi njengokungathi ngikhona, sengimehlulele kakade lowo owenze into enjalo. Nxa nibuthene egameni leNkosi uJesu [igama lakhe lesiHeberu elithi Yeshua] nomoya wami ukhona kanye namandla eNkosi yethu uJesu [Yeshua], niyakumnikela lo muntu kuSathane ukuba inyama ibhujiswe, ukuze umoya wakhe usindiswe ngosuku lweNkosi. Hewu. Wasuswa phakathi kwabo futhi wanikelwa ngisho nakuSathane. Ingabe lokho kuzwakala njengomusa kuwe? Kufanele kube njalo, ngoba yilokho ababengaphansi kwalokho, akunjalo?
Ihubo 103 Ihubo likaDavide.
1 Konke engiyikho makudumise uJehova; NGEnhliziyo yami yonke, ngizolidumisa igama lakhe elingcwele. 2 Konke engiyikho makudumise uJehova; sengathi ngingakhohlwa izinto ezinhle angenzela zona. 3 Uthethelela zonke izono zami, welapha zonke izifo zami. 4 Uyangihlenga ekufeni, angithwese umqhele wothando nesihe. 5 Ugcwalisa impilo yami ngezinto ezinhle. Ubusha bami buvuselelwe njengokhozi! UJehova ubapha ukulunga nobulungisa bonke abaphathwa ngokungenabulungisa. 7 Wabonakalisa ubuntu bakhe kuMozisi lezenzo zakhe kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.8 UJehova ulesihawu lesihawu, wephuza ukuthukuthela, ugcwele umusa.
9 Akayikusibeka icala njalo, futhi akahlali ethukuthele kuze kube phakade.10 Akasijezisi ngazo zonke izono zethu akasiphathi ngokhahlo, njengoba kufanele.
11 Ngokuba umusa wakhe ongaphuthi kwabamesabayo mkhulu njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba.12 Uzidedisile izono zethu, waze waba kude nathi njengempumalanga entshonalanga.13 UJehova unjengoyise ebantwaneni bakhe. , umnene, unobubele kwabamesabayo.14 Ngokuba uyakwazi ukuthi sibuthakathaka kangakanani; uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli nje.15 Izinsuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengotshani; njengezimbali zasendle, siyaqhakaza, sife.16 Umoya uyaphephetha, samuka, kungathi asikaze sibe lapha.
17 Kodwa uthando lukaJehova luhlala kuze kube nininini kulabo abamesabayo. Insindiso yakhe idlulela kubantwana babantwana18 abagcina isivumelwano sakhe, labo abagcina imiyalo yakhe!
KwabaseRoma 2:13 “Ngokuba akusibo abezwayo umthetho abalungile emehlweni kaJehova, kepha abenzayo umthetho yibona abayakulungisiswa.”
1 Johane 3:4 Lowo othi: Ngiyamazi, engagcini imiyalo yakhe, ungumqambimanga, neqiniso alikho kuye.
UmShumayeli 12:14 Masizwe isiphetho sayo yonke indaba: Mesabe uNkulunkulu, ugcine imiyalo yakhe, ngokuba lokho kuyimfanelo yomuntu wonke.
1 Johane 3:4 Wonke umuntu owenza isono uyeqa nomthetho. Ngempela, isono singukweqa umthetho. AmaHubo 19:7 Umthetho kaJehova uphelele, uvuselela umphefumulo;
Ubufakazi bukaJehova buqinisile, buhlakaniphisa oyisiwula
AmaHubo 19:8 Iziyalezo zikaJehova zilungile, zijabulisa inhliziyo; Umyalo kaJehova uhlanzekile, ukhanyisa amehlo. IzAga 10:8 Iziyalezo zikaJehova zilungile, zijabulisa inhliziyo; Umyalo kaJehova uhlanzekile, ukhanyisa amehlo. 1 kuThimothewu 1:8 Manje siyazi ukuthi uMthetho muhle, uma umuntu ewusebenzisa ngokufanele
1 Babusisiwe abazindlela zabo zingenasici, abahamba ngokomthetho kaJehova Hezekeli 36:26-27 Ngiyakuninika inhliziyo entsha, ngifake kini umoya omusha; ngiyakususa kuwe inhliziyo yetshe, ngikunike inhliziyo yenyama. Ngiyakufaka uMoya wami kini, nginiqhubekisele ukuba nihambe ngezimiso zami, nigcine imithetho yami;
Jeremiya 31:33 Kepha yilesi isivumelwano engiyosenza nendlu ka-Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku, usho uJehova, uthi: Ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezingqondweni zabo, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.
Uma uqhubeka nokudansa noDeveli ngeke uye ekhaya uyohlala noNkulunkulu.
