Nguye yedwa owadalwa nguJehova ngokwakhe yikho kufanele abizwe ngokuthi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu “ezelwe yodwa.” (Johane 1: 14) UJesu wayenguMkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu, yikho ebizwa kuthiwa ‘nguLizwi.’​—Bala iZaga 8:22, 23, 30; uKholose 1:15, 16.

3. Kungani sidinga ukuhlawulelwa?

Inhlawulo ingaba yimali ebhadalwayo ukuze kukhululwe umuntu othunjiweyo. (Eksodusi 21:29, 30) UNkulunkulu wayengajonganga ukuthi kube lokuguga lokufa ebantwini. Sikwazi njani lokhu? UNkulunkulu watshela umuntu wokuqala u-Adamu ukuthi nxa wayezakwenza lokho iBhayibhili elikubiza ngokuthi ‘yisono,’ wayezakufa. Yikho-ke aluba u-Adamu kawonanga, wayengasoze afe. (Genesisi 2:16, 17; 5:5) Ngokutsho kweBhayibhili, ukufa “kwafika” ebantwini ngo-Adamu. Yikho-ke, u-Adamu wathelela yonke inzalo yakhe isono lomvuzo waso oyikufa. Sidinga ukuhlawulelwa ukuze sikhululwe esijezisweni sokufa esasithola njengelifa ku-Adamu.​—Bala uRoma 5:12; 6:23.

Ngubani owayengabhadala inhlawulo ukuze sikhululwe ekufeni? Nxa singafa, sibhadala umvuzo wezono zethu. Akula muntu olesono ongabhadalela izono zabanye.​—Bala iHubo 49:7-9.

Lapho uJesu esemhlabeni wasilisa abagulayo, wavusa abafileyo futhi wakhulula ababesengozini. Ngaleyo ndlela watshengisa ayezakwenzela abantu abalalelayo esikhathini esizayo. (Mathewu 15:30, 31; Johane 5: 28) UJesu esefile, uNkulunkulu wamvusa eyisidalwa somoya. (1 Phetro 3:18) UJesu wasehlala esandleni sokunene sikaNkulunkulu emelele ukuthi uJehova amnike amandla okubusa njengeNkosi ebusa umhlaba wonke. (Hebheru 10:12, 13) Khathesi-ke uJesu ubusa ezulwini njengeNkosi njalo abalandeli bakhe bamemezela lezi zindaba ezinhle emhlabeni wonke.​—Bala uDanyeli 7:13, 14; uMathewu 24:14.
