Aboobo imubuzyo ngwakuti: Ino mulimo wesu kuli Leza weelede kubota buti?—2 Ba-Korinto 10:17, 18.

Nkaambo mulizi kuti ku-Mwami nkomuzootambula bulumbu, nkukuti lukono lwanu.

Tusoleka kubelekela Leza kwiinda mukutobela cikozyanyo ca Jesu Kristo. Wakacita mulimo wakwe muciindi eco cisyoonto cakubindaana kapati.—1 Petro 2:21.

Nokuba boobo, Petro wakati: “Jehova taamusya ngaakasyomezya kale, mbobayeeya bamwi kuti wamuka, pe, pele ucimukazikila moyo, nkaambo tayandi kuti bantu bafwidilile, ulayanda kuti boonse bajane ciindi cakweempwa. [Pele] buzuba bwa-Jehova bulasika mbubonya mbwasika mubbi.” Inzya, buzuba bwa Jehova buyoosika ncobeni. Aboobo, abuzuba tweelede kubikkila maanu kujatikizya mbolusinizide akuyuma lusyomo lwesu mucisyomezyo ca Leza.—2 Petro 3:3, 4, 9, 10.

16. Muunzila zili buti Saatani mwasoleka kuubya-ubya kulyaaba kwesu kuli Leza?

¹⁶ Tukkede muziindi zili mukwiindila kubija  ku Banakristo. Saatani abasikumutobela bakwe basoleka kusisa kwaandaana kuliko akati kazintu zibotu azibi, zisalala azitasalali, zyabulemu azitakwe bulemu, zizuminwa kuti zili kabotu azitazuminwi. (Ba-Roma 1:24-28; 16:17-19) Wacita kuti cituubile-ubile kapati kusofwaazya myoyo amizeezo yesu kwiinda mukubelesya TV naa Internet. Ikubona kwesu kwakumuuya kulakonzya kubaa luubilizi naa kuzimaazigwa cakuti tulakonzya kukakilwa kuziba nzila zyameeneeno aakwe.

Umwi aumwi akati kanu uleelede kuziba kuba amwanakazi wakwe mwini cakusalala acakulemeka. Teelede kumvwa zisusi zibi mbuli mbobacita bamasi abatamuzi Leza.” (1 Ba-Tesalonika 4:3-5) Ikutalilemeka kwapa kuti bamwi bagusigwe mumbungano ya Bunakristo—aabo ibakalekelezya kulyaaba kwabo kuli Leza. Bakalekela kuti cilongwe cabo a Leza cuube-ube cakuti Leza tanaakacili ampindu mubuumi bwabo. Nokuba boobo, Paulo wakati: “Teensi busofwaazi mbwaakatwiitila Leza, pe, nkukusalala. Nkaambo kaako oyo uunenya kumakani aya tanenyi muntu buyo, ulanenya Leza uumupa Muuya wakwe Uusalala.”—1 Ba-Tesalonika 4:7, 8.

Petro wakalaya kuti: “Amube amanjezeezya aasalala, kuti nobamuvwiya kuti muli babi, bakausi[g]we bweeme abo basendaula kweenda kwanu kubotu kwabanakristo.” (1 Petro 3:16) Ambweni inga twapenga alimwi akweendelezegwa munzila mbyaabi akaambo kabukkale bwesu bwa Bunakristo, pele mbocakabede akuli Kristo akaambo kalusyomo akusyomeka kwakwe kuli Leza. Petro wakati: “Lino mbuli Kristo mbwaakatupengela mumubili, anywebo amuliyumye amuyeeyo oyu nguwenya wakuti kufumbwa muntu uupengede mumubili ulaanzeene kucibi.”—1 Petro 4:1.

19. Ncinzi ncotuyanda kuti kacaambwa kujatikizya ndiswe?

¹⁹ Ncobeni, imakanzeesu aakulyaaba ayootukwabilila kutooye tuli munyika ya Saatani imbyaabi munzila yakumuuya, mukulilemeka akumubili. Pele tacigoleli waawo buyo pe, tuyoosinizya kuti tulakkomaninwaa Leza, calo cili ncecintu cibotu kwiinda cili coonse Saatani abasikumutobela ncobanga bapa.
