\u201c"Basi utauwa pamoja na kuridhika ni faida kubwa ... Lakini wewe, mtu wa Mungu, yakimbie mambo hayo; ukafuate haki, utauwa, imani, upendo, saburi, upole."\u201d<\/em>
1 Timotheo 6:6, 11<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Uchamungu mara nyingi hutafsiriwa kama uchamungu, heshima, au kufanana na Mungu. Inaelezea utakatifu wa kweli, hali ya kiroho, na wema. Neno "utakatifu" kuridhika<\/em> inamaanisha "kujitosheleza kwa ndani." Mara nyingi ilitumika kuelezea mtu ambaye ana amani ya ndani na havutiwi na hali za nje\u2014mtu ambaye huitikia ipasavyo mazingira yake.<\/p>

Tunapounganisha maneno haya mawili, utauwa<\/em> na kuridhika<\/em>, tunajifunza kwamba vyote viwili vinapaswa kuonekana katika maisha yetu kama wafuasi wa Yesu Kristo. Tunapaswa kuwa na "mtindo wa maisha unaoakisi tabia ya Mungu kila mara."\u201c<\/p>

Paulo anaendelea kutoa kweli nne zinazotusaidia kuishi maisha ya Kikristo yenye kuridhika ambayo yanaakisi tabia ya Mungu kila mara.<\/p>

Kwanza, tunajifunza kwamba kuridhika hakutokani na mali au utajiri. Kuridhika kunatokana na maisha ya kimungu yanayomtegemea na kumtegemea Mungu katika kila hali (2 Kor. 3:5; Flp. 4:11).<\/p>

Pili, vitu vya kimwili havidumu; ni vya muda tu. Hatukuleta chochote duniani, wala hatutachukua chochote kutoka humo (Ayubu 1:21; Zab. 49:17; Mhu. 5:15).<\/p>

Tatu, Bwana hutimiza mahitaji yetu ya msingi kwa uaminifu. Bwana Yesu alisema, \u201cKwa hiyo nawaambia, msisumbukie maisha yenu, mtakula nini au mtakunywa nini; wala miili yenu, mtavaa nini. Je, uhai si zaidi ya chakula na mwili si zaidi ya mavazi? Waangalieni ndege wa angani, kwa maana hawapandi, wala hawavuni, wala hawakusanyi ghalani; na Baba yenu wa mbinguni huwalisha. Je, ninyi si wa thamani kuliko wao?\u201d (Mathayo 6:25\u201326).<\/p>

Nne, katika mstari wa 9-10, Paulo anatumia neno hamu<\/em>, ambayo ina wazo la "kwa gharama yoyote" au "azimio thabiti." Tamaa ya kuwa tajiri inaweza kusababisha dhambi maishani mwetu. Paulo anaonya kwamba tamaa kama hiyo inaweza kuwa mtego unaoongoza kwenye tamaa na matamanio yenye madhara, na kusababisha uharibifu na uharibifu wa kiroho.<\/p>

Kinyume chake, Paulo anampinga Timotheo\u2014na sisi\u2014katika mstari wa 11 kwa tamaa na mambo sahihi ambayo yanapaswa kuwatambulisha wale wanaomfuata Kristo: \u201cLakini wewe, mtu wa Mungu, yakimbie mambo hayo; ukafuate haki, utauwa, imani, upendo, uvumilivu, upole.\u201d<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Kuridhika kwa Kikristo ni roho tamu, ya ndani, ambayo hutii na kufurahia utupaji wa Mungu katika kila hali.<\/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":"
