\u201c"Lakini Mungu, kwa kuwa ni mwingi wa rehema, kwa upendo wake mkuu aliotupenda, hata tulipokuwa wafu kwa sababu ya makosa, alituhuisha pamoja na Kristo (kwa neema mmeokolewa), akatufufua pamoja, akatuketisha pamoja katika ulimwengu wa roho katika Kristo Yesu, ili katika zamani zijazo aonyeshe wingi wa neema yake upitao kiasi kwa wema wake kwetu sisi katika Kristo Yesu."\u201d
<\/em>Waefeso 2:4\u20137<\/strong><\/p>

Waefeso 2 inaanza kwa picha dhahiri ya hali yetu kabla ya wokovu. Paulo anaandika, \u201c"Aliwafanya kuwa hai, ninyi mliokuwa wafu kwa sababu ya makosa na dhambi, ambazo mliziendea hapo awali kwa kuifuata kawaida ya ulimwengu huu, kwa kumfuata mfalme wa uwezo wa anga, roho yule atendaye kazi sasa katika wana wa kuasi; ambao sisi sote pia tulienenda kati yao hapo awali katika tamaa za miili yetu, tukitimiza tamaa za mwili na za nia, na kwa tabia yetu tulikuwa watoto wa hasira kama na wengine."\u201d<\/em> (Efe. 2:1\u20133).<\/p>

Ingawa tulikuwa katika hali ya kukata tamaa na kutokuwa na msaada mbele ya Mungu mtakatifu na mwenye haki, alitupatia wokovu kupitia kazi iliyokamilika ya Mwanawe mpendwa. Haijalishi tulikuwa wenye dhambi kiasi gani au tulifanya nini\u2014kuna \u201c"Lakini Mungu!"\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Katika kifungu hiki, maneno manne yanaelezea Mungu anayefanya tofauti:<\/p>

1. Yeye ni mwingi wa rehema.<\/strong>
Rehema ya Mungu inaweza kuelezewa kama kutunyima kile tunachostahili kwa haki. Pia ni onyesho la wema wake kwetu. Paulo anapoongeza neno tajiri<\/em>\u2014maana yake \u201ckujaa utajiri\u201d\u2014tunapata hisia ya wingi usiopimika wa rehema Zake.<\/p>

2. Upendo wake mkuu.<\/strong>
Neno nzuri<\/em> hapa inamaanisha \u201cnyingi\u201d au \u201cisiyopimika.\u201d Upendo wake unafurika kwetu\u2014bila kipimo, bila kikomo.<\/p>

3. Wema wake kwetu.<\/strong>
Neno hili linabeba wazo la wema, ubora, na unyofu. Wema wa Mungu ni wema wake katika matendo\u2014mtazamo wake wa upole na neema kwa wale wanaostahili hukumu.<\/p>

4. Neema yake ya ajabu.<\/strong>
Neema mara nyingi imeelezewa kama \u201c"Utajiri wa Mungu kwa Gharama ya Kristo."\u201d<\/em> Inazungumzia neema Yake isiyostahiliwa, isiyostahiliwa kwetu\u2014zawadi Yake ya bure ya wokovu inayowezekana kupitia Kristo.<\/p>

Baraka hizi zote\u2014rehema, upendo, wema, na neema Yake\u2014zinapatikana katika Kristo na zinaweza kufurahiwa na kila mtu ambaye ameweka imani na tumaini lake katika kazi Yake iliyokamilika Msalabani.<\/p>

Hata ingawa tulivuka mstari (tulikosa) na kukosa lengo (tulitenda dhambi), lakini Mungu!<\/em><\/p>

Nanga ya Leo<\/strong>
Chukua muda leo kutoa shukrani kwa \u201c"Lakini Mungu"\u201d<\/em> na kwa yote yanayotokana nayo!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
