52. Ngaphambili kokuhlengwa komuntu, ubutha obuningi bukaSathane base bufakiwe kuye. Ngemva kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane yokonakala kukaSathane, umuntu usevele enemvelo kuye yokuphika uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, lapho umuntu esekhululiwe, akukho okungaphezu kokukhululwa kwakhe, lapho umuntu ethengwa khona ngenani eliphezulu, kodwa imvelo enobuthi kuye ingakasuswa. Umuntu osengcoliswe kangaka kumele aguquke kuqala ukuze afanele ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Umuntu uyokwazi kahle ukungcola nokungalungi okukuye ngenxa yokwahlulela nokusola futhi uyokwazi ukuguquka bese ehlanzeka. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho umuntu eyokwazi khona ukubuyela ngaphambi kwesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu. Wonke umsebenzi owenziwe namuhla wenzelwe ukuba umuntu ahlanzwe futhi aguqulwe; ngokwahlulela nokusola ngezwi kanye nokucwengwa, umuntu angakuxosha ukonakala kuye bese ehlanzeka. Kunokuba kuthiwe lesi sigaba somsebenzi esensindiso kungafaneleka kangcono ukuthi kuthiwe umsebenzi wokuhlanzwa. Eqinisweni, lesi sigaba singesokunqoba nokuba yisigaba sesibili sensindiso. Umuntu uzuzwa uNkulunkulu ngokwahlulela nokusolwa izwi; ngokusebenzisa izwi lapho kucwengisiswa, kwahlulelwa nokudalulwa kwazo zonke izinto ezingcolile, imibono, izinhloso kanye nalokho umuntu akufisayo kuyadalulwa ngokuphelele. Nakuba umuntu esekhululiwe futhi wathethelelwa izono zakhe, kubhekwa kuphela uNkulunkulu engakhumbuli izono zomuntu futhi engamphathi umuntu ngokwezono zakhe. Nokho, lapho umuntu ephila esenyameni futhi engakhululiwe esonweni, angase aqhubeke nesono, alokhu eqhubeka embula ukonakala kwesimo sobusathane. Yile mpilo umuntu ayiphilayo, umjikelezo ongapheli wokona nokuthethelelwa. Iningi labantu liyona emini livume izono ntambama. Ngaleyo ndlela, ngisho umnikelo wesono uhlezi usebenza kumuntu, awukwazi ukumsindisa umuntu esonweni. Kusaqedwe ingxenye kuphela yomsebenzi ngoba umuntu usenesimo esonakele. Isibonelo, lapho abantu sebazi ukuthi bayinzalo kaMowabi, bakhipha amazwi okukhononda, ababe besafuna ukuphila, futhi baba abantu abanombono ongemuhle nhlobo. Akukhombisi lokhu ukuthi abakakwazi ukuzinikela ngokugcwele ngaphansi kokubusa kaNkulunkulu? Ingabe lokhu akusiso ngempela isimo esonakele sobusathane? Lapho ningafakiwe ekusolweni, izandla zenu zaziphakeme kakhulu kunezabanye, ngisho nakwezikaJesu. Nanimemeza ngezwi elikhulu: Yiba yindodana ethandekayo kaNkulunkulu! Yiba ngosondele kuNkulunkulu! Singamane sife kunanokuzinikela kuSathane! Vukelani udrako omkhulu obomvu! Akasuke emandleni udrako omkhulu obomvu! UNkulunkulu akasiphelelise! Ukumemeza kwenu kwakukukhulu kunokwabo bonke. Kodwa-ke kwase kufika izikhathi zokusolwa, kwase kuphinda kwembulwa isimo sabantu sokonakala. Ukumemeza kwabo kwase kuma, ababe besazimisela. Yilokhu ukonakala komuntu; kujulile kunesono, kutshalwe nguSathane kwagxiliswa ngokujulile futhi phakathi kumuntu. Akulula kumuntu ukuba abone izono zakhe; umuntu akakwazi ukubona imvelo yakhe egxilile. Ukwahlulelwa yizwi kuphela okungaba nomthelela onjalo. Yileyo ndlela umuntu angaguqulwa ngayo kancane kancane kusuka kulelo qophelo kuye phambili.

Emehlweni abantu, insindiso iluthando lukaNkulunkulu, futhi uthando lukaNkulunkulu alikona ukusola, ukwahlulela, nokuqalekisa; insindiso kufanele ibe nothando, ububele, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, amazwi enduduzo, futhi kufanele lube nezibusiso ezingenamkhawulo oziphiwa uNkulunkulu. Abantu bakholelwa ukuthi uma uNkulunkulu esindisa abantu ukwenza lokhu ngokubathinta futhi abenze banikele ngezinhliziyo zabo kuYe, ngezibusiso nomusa Wakhe. Okungukuthi, ukuthinta Kwakhe umuntu kuwukumsindisa. Lolu hlobo lwensindiso lwenziwa lapho kuba nesivumelwano khona. Kulapho kuphela uNkulunkulu emnika khona ngokuphindaphindwe ngamakhulu lapho umuntu ethobeka ngaphambi kwegama likaNkulunkulu bese ezama ukwenza kahle kuNkulunkulu futhi amnike udumo. Lokhu akuyona intando kaNkulunkulu kubantu. UNkulunkulu ufike emhlabeni ukuzosebenza ukuze asindise abantu abakhohlakele—awekho amanga kulokhu; uma kungenjalo, ngokuqinisekile ngeke azokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe ngoKwakhe. Ngaphambilini, indlela Yakhe yensindiso yayikhombisa uthando olukhulu nesihe, kanjalo wanikeza uSathane konke okwakhe ngokushintshisana ukuze azuze abantu bonke.

54. UNkulunkulu wenza umsebenzi wokwahlulela nokusola ukuze abantu bezomazi, nangenxa yobufakazi Bakhe. Ngaphandle kokwahlulela Kwakhe isimo senkohlakalo yomuntu, abantu ngeke basazi isimo Sakhe sokulunga esingavumeli amacala, futhi ngeke bashintshe ulwazi lwabo oludala ngoNkulunkulu bashintshele kolusha. Ngenxa yobufakazi Bakhe, nangenxa yokuphatha Kwakhe, ukwenza kube sobala, lokhu okwenza ukuthi abantu bamazi uNkulunkulu, bashintshe isimo sabo, babe nobufakazi obuzwakalayo ngoNkulunkulu ngokuvela kukaNkulunkulu emphakathini. Ushintsho lwenzeka esimweni somuntu ngemisebenzi eyehlukene kaNkulunkulu; ngaphandle kwalolu shintsho esimweni somuntu, abantu ngeke bakwazi ukuba ngofakazi baNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke bayifune inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu. Ushintsho esimweni somuntu lukhombisa ukuthi abantu bazikhululile emaketangeni kaSathane, bazikhululile ekuthonyweni ngubumnyama, sebebe umfanekiso womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, sebebe ngofakazi bakaNkulunkulu futhi bangabantu abafuna inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu.

55. Ezinsukwni zokugcina, uKristu usebenzisa amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo ukuze afundise abantu, adalule ubunjalo bomuntu, futhi acubungule amazwi kanye nezenzo zakhe. Lawa mazwi aqukethe amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo, njengomsebenzi womuntu, indlela umuntu okumele alalele uNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele athembeke kuNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele aphile ngayo ubuntu obujwayelekile, kanye nobuhlakani kanye nesimo sikaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Wonke la mazwi aqondiswe engqikithini yomuntu kanye nasesimweni sakhe esikhohlakele. Ikakhulukazi, lawo mazwi adalula ukuthi umuntu umala kanjani uNkulunkulu akhulunywa mayelana nokuthi ngakho okuphathelene nokuthi umuntu kungani umuntu eyisiqu sikaSathane futhi eyisitha sikaNkulunkulu. Ekwenzeni umsebenzi wakhe wokwahlulela, uNkulunkulu akenzi nje kucace imvelo yomuntu ngamazwana ambalwa; uyembula, abhekane, futhi athene esikhathini eside. Lezi zindlela zokwambula, ukubhekana, kanye nokuthena azikwazi ukushintshaniswa namagama avamile kodwa ngeqiniso umuntu angenalo nhlobo. Yizindlela zalolu hlobo kuphela okuthiwa ngukwahlulela; kungokwahlulela kohlobo olunje lapho umuntu engathotshiswa khona futhi enziwe akholwe ngokuphelele ukuba athobele uNkulunkulu, bese, ngaphezu kwalokho ezuza ulwazi oluyiqiniso ngoNkulunkulu. Okulethwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela ukuqonda komuntu ubuso bukaNkulunkulu beqiniso kanye neqiniso ngokuhlubuka kwakhe uqobo. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela wenza umuntu athole ukuqonda okuningi ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngenjongo kaNkulunkulu, nezimfihlakalo ezingaqondakali kuye. Kuphinde kwenze umuntu abone futhi azi ubunjalo bakhe obukhohlakele kanye nomsuka wenkohlakalo yakhe, futhi aphinde akwazi ukubona ububi bomuntu. Le miphumela idalwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela, ngoba ingqikithi yalo msebenzi empeleni ingumsebenzi wokudalula iqiniso, indlela, kanye nempilo kaNkulunkulu kubo bonke abakholwa Kuye. Lo msebenzi ngumsebenzi wokwahlulela owenziwa nguNkulunkulu. Uma ungawabuki la maqiniso ngokubaluleka kwawo futhi uhlala ucabanga ukuwabalekela noma ukuthola indlela entsha yokuwabalekela, ngithi uyisoni esikhulu. Uma ukholwa kuNkulunkulu, ube ungalifuni iqiniso noma intando kaNkulunkulu, noma ungayithandi indlela ekusondeza kuNkulunkulu, ngakho ngithi kuwe ungumuntu ozama ukubalekela ukwahlulela. Ungunopopi futhi uyimbuka elibalekela isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe. UNkulunkulu ngeke axolele muntu ohlubukayo ophunyukayo phansi kwamehlo Akhe. Abantu abanjalo bayothola isijeziso esiqine kakhulu. Labo abeza phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuze behlulelwe futhi esebengcwelisiwe bayophila phakade embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Nakanjani, lokhu kuyokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo.

56. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela ngokaNkulunkulu uqobo, ngakho ngokwemvelo wenziwa nguNkulunkulu uqobo; ungenziwe umuntu esikhundleni Sakhe. Ngoba ukwahlulela kungukunqoba isintu ngeqiniso, kungephikiswe ukuthi uNkulunkulu usavela njengesiqu esiyinyama ukuze enze lo msebenzi phakathi kwabantu. Okusho ukuthi, ezinsukwini zokugcina, uKristu uyosebenzisa iqiniso ukuze afundise abantu basemhlabeni futhi enze onke amaqiniso aziwe kubo. Lo ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokwahlulela. Abantu abaningi banomuzwa omubi mayelana nesimo sokuba senyameni kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba umuntu ukuthola kunzima bokukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengaba yinyama ukuze enze umsebenzi wokwahlulela. Kodwa kumele ngikwazise ukuthi ngokuvamile umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wedlula okulindelwe ngabantu futhi kulukhuni ukuthi imiqondo yabantu iwamukele. Ngoba abantu bayizimpethu nje emhlabeni, kube uNkulunkulu engophakeme ogcwalisa umhlaba; umqondo womuntu ufana nomgodi wamanzi abolile akhipha izimpethu kuphela, kanti isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi oqondiswa yimicabango kaNkulunkulu siwukuconsiswa kobuhlakani bukaNkulunkulu. Umuntu uhlala efisa ukuphikisana noNkulunkulu, engithi ngakho kusobala ukuthi ubani oyolahlekelwa ekugcineni. Ngiyanixwayisa nonke ukuthi ningaziboni ukuthi nibaluleke ngaphezu kwegolide. Uma abanye abantu bekwazi ukwamukela ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu, pho kungani nina ningakwazi? Nina niphakeme kangakanani ngaphezu kwabanye? Uma abanye abantu bekwazi ukugebisa amakhanda abo phambi kweqiniso, kungani nina ningenzi njalo? Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu unomfutho onganqandeki. kazukuwuphinda umsebenzi wokwahlulela futhi ngenxa “yenu,” futhi nizogcwala ukuzisola okungenamkhawulo ngokudedela ithuba elihle kangaka. Uma ningawakholwa amazwi Ami, velani nilindele isihlalo sobukhosi esimhlophe esikhulu esibhakabhakeni ukuze sedlulisele ukwahlulela phezu kwenu! Kumele nazi ukuthi bonke abakwa-Israyeli bamala futhi bamphika uJesu, kodwa iqiniso lokuhlenga isintu kukaJesu laqhubeka lenabela emhlabeni jikelele laze lafika ekugcineni komhlaba. Akusilo leli iqiniso uNkulunkulu alenza kudala? Uma usalindele ukuthi uJesu akuyise phezulu ezulwini, ngithi kuwe uwukhuni olufie olunenkani.^[a] uJesu ngeke emukele umuntu ongakholwa ngokweqiniso onjengawe ongethembekile eqinisweni futhi ofuna izibusiso kuphela. Empeleni, akazukukhombisa musa kuwe ekukuphoseni echibini lomlilo ukuze ushe iminyaka engamashumi ezinkulungwane.

57. UNkulunkulu akahluleli umuntu ngamunye, futhi akavivinyi umuntu ngamunye; ukwenza lokho bekungeke kube umsebenzi wokwahlulela. Ingabe ayifani inkohlakalo yaso sonke isintu? Ingabe ayifani yonke ingqikithi yomuntu? Okwahlulelwayo isiqu sesintu esikhohlakele, isiqu somuntu esonakaliswe uSathane, nazo zonke izono zomuntu. UNkulunkulu akehluleli amaphutha amancane nangabalulekile omuntu. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela kukhona okumelayo, awenziwa ngenxa yomuntu othile kuphela. Kunalokho, uwumsebenzi okwahlulelwa kuwo iqembu labantu ukuze kwahlulelwe sonke isintu. Ngokwenza Kwakhe lo msebenzi mathupha kulo lonke iqembu labantu, uNkulunkulu osenyameni usebenzisa umsebenzi Wakhe ukumela umsebenzi waso sonke isintu, ngemva kwawo oya ngokuya wanda. Nomsebenzi wokwahlulela unjalo. UNkulunkulu akahluleli uhlobo oluthile lomuntu noma iqembu elithile labantu, kodwa wahlulela abangalungile kuso sonke isintu—ukumelana noNkulunkulu kwabantu, ngokwesibonelo, noma ukungamhloniphi, noma ukuphazamiseka komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Okwahlulelwayo yingqikithi yokumelana kwesintu noNkulunkulu futhi lo msebenzi ungumsebenzi wokunqoba ngezinsuku zokugcina. Umsebenzi nezwi likaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu okubonwa umuntu kuwumsebenzi wakwahlulela ongaphambi kwesihlalo esimhlophe sobukhosi phakathi nezinsuku zokugcina, izinto ezacatshangwa umuntu esikhathini esedlule. Umsebenzi owenziwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uwukwahlulela ngqo okungaphambi kwesihlalo esimhlophe sobukhosi. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wanamuhla unguNkulunkulu owahlulela sonke isintu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Le nyama nomsebenzi Wakhe, nezwi kanye naso sonke isimo Sakhe, konke kungokwakhe. Nakuba umthamo womsebenzi wakho unomkhawulo, futhi ungabandakanyi indawo yonke ngokuqondile, ingqikithi yomsebenzi wokwahlulela iwukwahlulelwa ngokuqondile kwaso sonke isintu— hhayi ngenxa yabantu abakhethiweyo baseChina kuphela, noma ngenxa yabantu abambalwa.

58. Amazwi engiwakhuluma namuhla awokwahlulela izono zomuntu, ukwahlulela ukungalungi komuntu, ukuqalekisa ukungalaleli komuntu. Ukugwegwa kanye nokukhohlisa komuntu, amazwi nezenzo zomuntu zokukhohlisa—konke okuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu kufanele ukwahlulelwa, nokungalaleli komuntu kusolwe njengesono. Amazwi Akhe agxila ezimisweni zokwahlulela; usebenzisa ukwahlulela ukungalungi komuntu, isiqalekiso sokuhlubuka komuntu, kanye nokudalula izici ezimbi zomuntu ukuze abonakalise isimo Sakhe sokulunga. Ubungcwele buwukuvezwa kwesimo sokulunga Kwakhe, futhi eqinisweni ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu buyisimo sangempela sokulunga Kwakhe. Izimo zenu ezonakele ziwumongo wamazwi anamuhla—ngizisebenzisa ukuze ngikhulume futhi ngahlulele, nokuthi ngenze umsebenzi wokunqoba. Lokhu kukodwa kungumsebenzi ongokoqobo, futhi lokhu kukodwa kwenza ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu bukhazimule ngokugcwele. Uma kungekho umnonjana wesimo sokonakala kuwe, khona-ke uNkulunkulu ngeke akwahlulele, futhi ngeke akubonise isimo Sakhe sokulunga. Ngenxa yokuthi unesimo sokonakala, uNkulunkulu ngeke akuyeke, futhi kungenxa yalokhu kubonakaliswa ubungcwele Bakhe. Uma uNkulunkulu ubengabona ukungcola nokuhlubuka komuntu ukuthi kukhulu kakhulu kodwa angakhulumi noma akwahlulele, noma akucwenge ngenxa yokungalungi kwakho, khona-ke lokhu bekungabonisa ukuthi akayena uNkulunkulu, ngoba ubengabe akasizondi isono; ubengabe ungcolile njengomuntu. Namuhla, ukungcola kwakho okwenza ukuthi ngikwahlulele, futhi ukonakala nokuhlubuka kwakho okwenza ukuthi ngikucwenge. Angibukisi ngamandla Ami kini noma nginicindezele ngamabomu; ngenza lezi zinto ngoba nina, enizalwe kulelizwe lokungcola, nonakaliswe kakhulu ukungcola. Nina nimane nalahla ubuqotho nobuntu benu futhi nifana nezingulube ezizalelwe emagumbini omhlaba angcole kakhulu, futhi yilokhu okwenza ukuthi nahlulelwe nokuthi ngithululele phezu kwenu intukuthelo Yami. Yikho kanye lokhu kwahlulela okwenze ukuthi nikwazi ukubona ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu olungile, nokuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu ongcwele; Yibo kanye ubungcwele Bakhe nokulunga Kwakhe okwenza ukuthi anahlulele futhi athululele ulaka Lwakhe phezu kwenu. Ngenxa yokuthi angembula isimo Sakhe sokulunga lapho ebona ukuhlubuka komuntu, nangenxa yokuthi angembula ubungcwele Bakhe lapho ebona ukungcola komuntu, lokhu kwanele ukukhombisa ukuthi unguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, ongcwele futhi ophelele, nokho uhlala ezweni elingcolile.

UNkulunkulu ongcwele uqobo Lwakhe kuphela ongakwazi ukwahlulela konke ukungcola kwesintu. Umuntu angazehlulela kanjani izono zomuntu? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umuntu abone izono zomuntu, futhi kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umuntu afaneleke ukulahla lezi zono? Uma uNkulunkulu wayengafaneleki ukwahlulela izono zomuntu, khona-ke kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi abe uNkulunkulu olungile uqobo Lwakhe? Lapho izimo zokonakala zabantu zembulwa, uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma ukuze ahlulele abantu, futhi kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho abantu bebona khona ukuthi ungcwele.

59. Kufezwa ngani ukupheleliswa komuntu kuNkulunkulu? Ngesimo saKhe sokulunga. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni senziwe ukulunga, ulaka, ubukhosi, ukwahlulela, kanye nokuqalekisa, kanti nokuphelelisa kwaKhe umuntu kwenzeka ngokwahlulelwa. Abanye abantu abaqondi, babuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ekwazi ukwenza umuntu apheleliswe ngokwahlulela nokuqalekisa. Bathi, “Uma uNkulunkulu engaqalekisa umuntu, ngeke umuntu afe? Uma uNkulunkulu engahlulela umuntu, ngeke alahlwe? Pho usengenziwa kanjani aphelele?” Amazwi anjengalawa ashiwo ngabantu abangawazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Into eqalekiswa uNkulunkulu ukungalaleli komuntu, futhi into ayahlulelayo Yena yizono zomuntu. Yize noma ekhuluma amagama ahlabayo, futhi ngaphandle kozwelo noluncane, uveza konke lokho okungaphakathi kumuntu, futhi ngenxa yalawa mazwi ahlabayo Wambula okusemqoka okungaphakathi kumuntu, kodwa ngokwahlulela okunjenga lokhu, unikeza umuntu ulwazi olujulile lomongo wenyama, futhi ngaleyo ndlela umuntu uzinikela ekuzithobeni phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Lolu hlobo lokwahlulelwa lufana nesichotho esinesihluku esisuka esibhakabhakeni, luwusizo olukhulu kakhulu kumuntu. Ngaphandle kokwahlulela abantu kanje, ngabe akukho mphumela futhi bekuyoba nzima kakhulu ukusindisa abantu kuleliwa losizi. Ngaphandle kwalo msebenzi, bekuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuthi abantu baphume eHayidesi ngoba izinhliziyo zabo kade zafa kudala kanye nemimoya yabo kudala yaxovwa ngezinyawo nguSathane.Ukusindisa wena osubishe ekujuleni kokonakala kudinga ukuthi umenyezwe kanzima, wahlulelwe ngomfutho, yilapho-ke kuphela leyo nhliziyo yakho ebanda qa iyophaphama.

Injalo ke indaba neqiniso lomsebenzi wokulawula umuntu. Noma kunjalo, zonke lezi zinto zibhekiswe enyameni yomuntu, futhi konke ukuhlasela kwemikhonto kubhekiswe enyameni yomuntu (ngoba ekuqaleni umuntu wayemsulwa). Konke lokho kungenxa kodumo lwaKhe nobufakazi, kanye nokulawula kwaKhe. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umsebenzi waKhe inhloso yawo akuyona nje eyomuntu, kodwa eyecebo lonke kanye nokugcwaliseka kwentando yaKhe yokuqala ngenkathi edala umuntu. Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe ingxenye engamaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye abantu ababhekana nayo ukuhlupheka nezilingo, futhi zimbalwa kakhulu noma azikho izinsuku ezimnandi nezenjabulo umuntu alokhu ekade ezilangazelela, futhi ziningi nakakhulu izikhathi ezimnandi ezingathokozeleki enyameni kuchithwa izikhathi ezinhle noNkulunkulu. Inyama ingcolile, ngakho lokho inyama yomuntu ekubonayo noma ekuthokozelayo akulutho ngaphandle kokusola kukaNkulunkulu, okuyinto engathandeki kumuntu, kube sengathi intula umqondo ojwayelekile.

64. Ngabe manje sewuyaqonda ukuthi kuyini ukwahlulela nokuthi iqiniso liyini? Uma sewuqonda, ngiyakunxusa ukuthi uthobele ngokulalela ukwahlulelwa, kungenjalo awusoze waba nethuba lokunconywa nguNkulunkulu noma lokuyiswa nguye embusweni Wakhe. Labo abamukela ukwahlulela kuphela kodwa abangakwazi ukuhlanzwa, okusho ukuthi, labo ababalekayo phakathi komsebenzi wokwahlulela, bayohlala bezondwa futhi belahlwa nguNkulunkulu. Izono zabo ziningi kakhulu, futhi zinkulu, kunezabaFarisi, ngoba bayamphika uNkulunkulu futhi bangamahlubuka kuNkulunkulu. Abantu abanjalo abangafanelekile ngisho ukwenza umsebenzi bayothola isijeziso esinzima kakhulu, isijeziso futhi esingapheli. UNkulunkulu akasoze ayeka noma ngubani omhlubukayo owake wathi wethembekile kuye ngamazwi kepha wayesemhlubuka.

Ngabe lokhu akusiyo injongo kaNkulunkulu yokwahlulela umuntu kanye nokumembula? UNkulunkulu ubeka bonke labo abenza zonke izinhlobo zemisebenzi emibi ngesikhathi sokwahlulela endaweni egcwele imimoya emibi ukuze le mimoya emibi ibhubhise imizimba yabo yenyama ngokuthanda. Imizimba yabo ikhipha iphunga lesidumbu, futhi nesijeziso esibafanele sinjalo. UNkulunkulu ubhala phansi ezincwadini zomlando wabo isono ngasinye salawo makholwa amanga angethembekile, abaphostoli bamanga kanye nabasebenzi bamanga; kuthi uma isikhathi sesifanele, ubaphosa phakathi kwemimoya engcolile ukuze imizimba yayo engcolile ingcolise yonke imizimba yabo ngokuthanda ukuze bangaphindi babe senyameni futhi bangaphindi babone ukukhanya. Labo bakhohlisi abenza umsebenzi ngesikhathi esisodwa kodwa abakwazi ukuhlala bethembekile kuze kube sekugcineni babalwa uNkulunkulu phakathi kwabantu abakhohlakele ukuze bahambe emiyalelweni yabantu abakhohlakele, babe yingxenye yoquqaba olungahlelekile; ekugcineni, uNkulunkulu uyobabhubhisa. UNkulunkulu uyabachitha futhi akabanaki labo abangakaze bethembeke kuKristu noma bazinikele ngemizamo ethile, futhi uyobabhubhisa bonke ngokuguquka kwezinkathi. Ngeke besaba khona emhlabeni, kube kuncane kakhulu ukuthola indlela engena embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
