\u201c"Lakini tunda la Roho ni upendo, furaha, amani, uvumilivu, wema, fadhili, uaminifu, upole, kiasi. Juu ya mambo kama hayo hakuna sheria."\u201d
Wagalatia 5:22\u201323<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Katika Yohana 13:34-35, Bwana Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake, \u201cAmri mpya nawapa, mpendane; kama mimi nilivyowapenda ninyi, nanyi mpendane vivyo hivyo. Hivyo watu wote watajua ya kuwa ninyi mmekuwa wanafunzi wangu, mkiwa na upendo ninyi kwa ninyi.\u201d<\/p>

Mapenzi haya si mapenzi ya urafiki (phileo<\/em> katika Kigiriki), wala sivyo eros<\/em> upendo, ambao tunapata neno letu ashiki<\/em>. Wala sivyo hifadhi<\/em> upendo, ambao unamaanisha mapenzi ya kifamilia.<\/p>

Upendo unaoonekana miongoni mwa waumini ni upendo unaoonyesha kipengele kimoja cha tunda la Roho. Ni upendo wa Mungu unaoonyeshwa kupitia kwetu. Ni agape<\/em> upendo\u2014upendo wa kimungu. Agape<\/em> ndiyo asili halisi ya Mungu na inapaswa kuonyeshwa na wale ambao wameletwa katika uhusiano naye kupitia kazi iliyokamilika ya Mwanawe mpendwa.<\/p>

Tunaona hili waziwazi katika 1 Yohana 4:7\u201312:<\/p>

\u201c"Wapenzi, na tupendane; kwa kuwa upendo watoka kwa Mungu; na kila mtu apendaye amezaliwa na Mungu, naye anamjua Mungu. Yeye asiyependa, hamjui Mungu, kwa maana Mungu ni upendo. Katika hili pendo la Mungu lilionekana kwetu, kwamba Mungu alimtuma Mwanawe pekee ulimwenguni, ili tupate uzima kwa yeye. Katika hili pendo ndilo, si kwamba sisi tulimpenda Mungu, bali kwamba yeye alitupenda sisi, akamtuma Mwanawe kuwa upatanisho kwa dhambi zetu. Wapenzi, ikiwa Mungu alitupenda hivi, nasi tunapaswa kupendana. Hakuna mtu aliyemwona Mungu wakati wowote. Tukipendana, Mungu anakaa ndani yetu, na pendo lake limekamilika ndani yetu."\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

Tumezoea sana kufikiria upendo kama hisia, lakini sivyo ilivyo kwa agape<\/em> upendo. Agape<\/em> Upendo ni upendo usio na masharti. Unafafanuliwa na kile unachofanya, si jinsi unavyohisi. Unahusisha uaminifu, kujitolea, na tendo la mapenzi. Upendo ni chaguo.<\/p>

Huu ndio upendo ambao Mungu ametuonyesha na upendo anaotarajia kutoka kwetu. Ni aina ya upendo unaotafuta ustawi wa wengine licha ya dhabihu ambayo inaweza kuhitaji. Roho wa Mungu anatoa sura nzima\u20141 Wakorintho 13\u2014kuelezea kile upendo hufanya. Lakini mfano mkuu zaidi wa upendo wa kimungu unaonekana msalabani, ambapo \u201cMungu anaonyesha upendo wake mwenyewe kwetu, kwa kuwa tulipokuwa tungali wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu,\u201d na ambapo \u201cMwana wa Mungu alinipenda akajitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yangu\u201d (Rum. 5:8; Gal. 2:20).<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Upendo wa kweli wa kujitolea unaweza kuonyeshwa kupitia sisi tu kwa nguvu ya Roho wa Mungu. Anatafuta tunda hili katika kila mmoja wetu leo.<\/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":"
