IMfundiso neMinqophiso 12–17; Imbali—kaJoseph Smith 1:66–75

UJoseph Knight noDavid Whitmer bobabini babefuna ukwazi ukuba banganceda njani na emsebenzini weNkosi. Njengoko ufunda impendulo yeNkosi kubo (IMfundiso neMinqophiso 12; 14), cinga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini kuwe “ukuzisa nokumisa iinjongo zeZiyon” (12:6; bona kananjalo 14:6). Yeyiphi imigaqo neempawu ezifana nezikaKrestu ozifumana kula macandelo ezinokukunceda wenze oku?

UYohane umBhaptizi wabiza uJoseph Smith no-Oliver Cowdery “izicaka ezingabazalwana.” Ucinga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba sisicaka esingumzalwana kunye noYohane umBhaptizi? (bona UMateyu 3:13–17; ULuka 1:13–17; 3:2–20).

Njengokuba ufunda oko kwathethwa nguYohane umBhaptizi ngoBubingeleli buka-Aron kwicandelo 13, cingisisa ukuba izitshixo zobu bubingeleli zinceda njani ekufezekiseni umsebenzi kaYohane wokulungiselela indlela yeNkosi. Ngokomzekelo:

• Yintoni “ulungiselelo lweengelosi”? (bona 2 UNifayi 32:2–3; Moronayi 7:29–32; IsiKhokelo kwiZibhalo, “Iingelosi,” Ithala leeNcwadi zeVangeli).

• “Izitshixo zevangeli yenguquko”? (bona IMfundiso neMinqophiso 84:26–27.

Ingaba imimiselo yoBubingeleli buka-Aron (efana nobhaptizo nomthendeleko) zinceda njani ekulungiseleleni indlela yokuba wamkele uMsindisi ebomini bakho?

Umdala uDale G. Renlund kunye nenkosikazi yakhe, uRuth, banika le ngcaciso malunga nezitshixo zobubingeleli:

“Igama elithi izitshixo zobubingeleli lisetyenziswa ngeendlela ezimbini ezahlukeneyo. Elokuqala libhekisa kwilungelo okanye ilungelo elikhethekileyo elinikwe bonke abafumana uBubingeleli buka-Aron okanye bukaMelkitsedeke. … Ngokomzekelo, abanoBubingeleli buka-Aron bafumana izitshixo zolungiselelo lweengelosi kunye nezitshixo zevangeli yokulungiselela inguquko nobhaptizo ngokuntywiliselwa ukuze kuxolelwe izono (bona IMfundiso neMinqophiso. 13:1; 84:26–27). Abaphethe uBubingeleli bukaMelkitsedeke bafumana isitshixo seemfihlelo zobukumkani, isitshixo solwazi lukaThixo, nezitshixo zazo zonke iintsikelelo zomoya zeBandla (bona IMfundiso neMinqophiso 84:19; 107:18). …

“Indlela yesibini igama elisetyenziswa ngayo izitshixo zobubingeleli libhekisa kubunkokeli. Iinkokeli zobubingeleli zifumana izitshixo ezongezelelweyo zobubingeleli, ilungelo lokongamela icandelo lombutho weBendla okanye iqumrhu. Ngokuphathelene noku, izitshixo zobubingeleli ligunya namandla okukhokela, ukukhokela, nokulawula eBandleni” (The Melchizedek Priesthood: Understanding the Doctrine, Living the Principles [2018], 26).

Wakhe wazibuza ukuba ngekunjani ukuba kunye noJoseph Smith no-Oliver Cowdery kwiziganeko ezinkulu zoBuyiselo? Njengoko ufunda Imbali—kaJoseph Smith 1:66–75, kuquka inqaku ekupheleniko mqolo 71, usenokuqonda noko babevakalelwa kuko. Yintoni ekumangalisayo ngamazwi abo? Qaphela, ngokukodwa, iintsikelelo abazifumanayo ngenxa yokuba bamkela ububingeleli baza babhaptizwa. Zeziphi iintsikelelo athe wakunika zona uMsindisi ngemimiselo yobubingeleli?

Ukufunda ngakumbi, cinga ngokwenza itafile enezihloko Imimiselo kunye neeNtsikelelo. Emva koko ungakhangela izibhalo ezifana nezi ukudwelisa imimiselo neentsikelelo ezivela ku: Yohane 14:26; IZenzo 2:38; IMfundiso neMinqophiso 84:19–22; 131:1–4; Imbali—kaJoseph Smith 1:73–74. Ziziphi ezinye iintsikelelo onokuzongeza kuluhlu? Imimiselo oyifumeneyo izise njani amandla oMsindisi ebomini bakho?

Ngaba wakha wazibuza, njengoko uJohn noPeter Whitmer, yintoni “eya kuba yeyona nto ibalulekileyo” ebomini bakho? (IMfundiso neMinqophiso 15:4; 16:4). Njengoko ufunda IMfundiso neMinqophiso 15–16cingisisa ngokuba kutheni ukuzisa imiphefumlo kuKrestu kulixabiso elilelona likhulu. Wenza ntoni “ukuzisa imiphefumlo” kuKrestu?

Bona kananjalo Saints, 1:68–71.

Yintoni ingqina? Kutheni iNkosi isebenzisa amangqina emsebenzini waYo? (bona KwabaseKorinte II 13:1). Cingisisa nzulu ngale mibuzo njengoko ufunda amazwi kaThixo kuMangqina Amathathu kwiMfundiso neMinqophiso 17. (Bona kananjalo “Ubungqina Bamangqina Amathathu” kwiNcwadi kaMormoni.) Ingaba amangqina anceda kanjani ukuzisa “iinjongo ezilungileyo” zikaThixo? (umqolo 4).

Ungangqina ngantoni?

Bona kanannjalo Saints, 1:73–75.
