Ijambo ry’Imana riragaragara neza: kubabarira si amahitamo, ni itegeko.
Yesu yaravuze ati: “Nimubabarira abantu amakosa yabo, So wo mu ijuru na We azabababarira ayanyu.” (Matayo 6:14)
Kubabarira bishyira umutima mu mudendezo, bikawukuramo inzika, bikica urunigi rw’urwango kandi bikadushyira mu kumvira Imana.
Ariko kandi, kubabarira ntibisobanura kuba umunyabwoba cyangwa kwirengagiza ibyago.
Imana iduhamagarira gukunda, ariko ikanaduhamagarira kugira ubwenge.
Yesu ubwe yaraduhaye umuburo agira ati:
“Murabe rero inyaryenge nk’inzoka, mube n’intaryarya nk’inuma.” (Matayo 10:16)
Umutima utanduye ugomba kujyana n’ubwitonzi n’ubugenzuzi.
Bibiliya iduha ingero zisobanutse.
Yozefu yababariye bene se bamugurishije, ariko yabanje kubagerageza mbere yo kongera kubizera (Itangiriro 42–45).
Dawidi yababariye Sawuli, yanga kumwica, ariko akomeza kwitandukanya na we kugira ngo arinde ubuzima bwe (1 Samweli 24; 26).
Na Yesu ubwe, nubwo yari yuzuye urukundo, “ntiyabizeraga, kuko yari abazi bose” (Yohani 2:24).
Izi ngero zitwigisha ko kubabarira gukiza umutima, naho ubwenge bukarinda ubuzima.
Kubabarira ni ukureka kwihorera no gushyira ubutabera mu maboko y’Imana; kuguma uri maso no kumenya ko atari bose bahindutse.
“Umunyabwenge abona icyago kije, akihisha, naho injiji zikiyahuramo, zikabiryora.” (Imigani 22:3)
Bityo rero, kubabarira ntibisobanura kwemera byose cyangwa kwihanganira byose.
Umukristo ahamagarirwa gukunda by’ukuri, kumenya gutandukanya no gushyiraho imipaka. Uburinganire nyakuri Bibiliya ivuga buri mu mutima ubabarira byuzuye no mu myitwarire ituma tuguma turi maso.
ISENGESHO:
Mwami, duhe ubuntu bwo kubabarira by’ukuri n’ubwenge bwo kuguma turi maso. Twigishe gukunda dukurikije ukuri kwawe, gutandukanya neza no kugendera mu burinzi bwawe. Amen.
