Amanye amafudo anokuphila iminyaka engama-150, ize eminye imithi iphile iminyaka engama-3 000. Kodwa bona abantu baphila ubomi obufutshane. Nangona kunjalo, ubomi bethu bunokuba nenjongo kunobo bofudo okanye umthi. UYehova uThixo wadala abantu ukuba bakwazi ukonwabela umculo, imidlalo, ukutya, bakwazi ukufunda, ukukhenketha nokunxulumana nabanye abantu. UThixo wafaka ezintliziyweni zethu umnqweno wokuphila ngonaphakade.—Funda iNtshumayeli 3:11.

UYehova uphila ngonaphakade, akafi. Nguye uMthombo wobomi, ngenxa yoko unako ukusinika ubomi obungunaphakade. (INdumiso 36:9; Habhakuki 1:12) Ngaphezu koko, ubathembisa ukubanika ubomi obungunaphakade abo bamthobelayo. Uza kuphelisa ukwaluphala.—Funda uYobhi 33:24, 25; Isaya 25:8; 33:24.

Ngemimangaliso awayenzayo uYesu, wabonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba singakholosa ngesithembiso sikaThixo sokuphila ubomi obungunaphakade siyimiqabaqaba. UYesu waphilisa izifo ezininzi wade wavusa nabantu abafileyo.—Funda uLuka 7:11-15, 18, 19, 22.

UThixo ufuna siphile ngonaphakade, kungekhona kwihlabathi elizaliswe yingcinezelo nobundlobongela, kodwa kumhlaba oyiparadesi. Ufuna sizive sinqabisekile. (INdumiso 37:9, 29; Isaya 65:21, 22) Xa umhlaba usiba yiParadesi, izigidi zabantu ezafayo ziya kuvuswa. Abantu abavusiweyo, abakhetha ukunqula uThixo baze bamthobele baya kuphila ngonaphakade.—Funda uLuka 23:42, 43; Yohane 5:28, 29.

NguThixo kuphela onokusinika ubomi obungenasiphelo. Senza kakuhle xa sisondela kuye ngokuthi simazi. IBhayibhile ifanisa ukungenisa ulwazi ngoThixo nokutya. (Mateyu 4:4) Kumnandi ukutya, kodwa ukukupheka kufuna umgudu. Ngokufanayo, ukufunda ngoThixo kufuna umgudu. Ngaba ikho enye into ebaluleke ngaphezu kokusondela kuThixo uze ufumane ubomi obungunaphakade?—Funda uLuka 13:23, 24; Yohane 6:27; 17:3.
