YEKA inhlekelele eyehlela isintu ekuqaleni nje komlando waso! Ingelosi ethile yavukela igunya laLowo kanye oyidalile. Leli mbuka layenga owesifazane wokuqala, u-Eva, ukuba adle isithelo esinqatshelwe. Ibhekisele kulona wesifazane nakumyeni wakhe, u-Adamu, le ngelosi yathi: “Ngokuqinisekile ngeke nife. Yingoba uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi ngalo kanye usuku enidla ngalo kuwo nakanjani amehlo enu ayovuleka futhi nakanjani niyoba njengoNkulunkulu, nazi okuhle nokubi.” (Genesise 2:16, 17; 3:1-5) Le ngelosi evukelayo yabizwa ngokuthi uDeveli noSathane.—IsAmbulo 12:9.

Ingabe u-Eva wawalalela amazwi kaSathane? IBhayibheli liyasitshela: “Owesifazane wabona ukuthi umuthi wawukufanelekele ukudliwa nokuthi wawungokuthile okulangazelelekayo emehlweni, yebo, umuthi wawubukeka ufiseleka. Ngakho wathatha isithelo sawo wadla. Kamuva wanika nomyeni wakhe lapho esekanye naye, naye wadla.” (Genesise 3:6) Yebo, umbhangqwana wokuqala, u-Adamu no-Eva, bahlanganyela noSathane ekuvukeleni kwakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, bazilahlekisela iPharadesi bona nabantwana babo. Abantwana okwakufanele bazalwe bephelele benethuba lokuphila phakade base bezozuza isono nokufa njengefa.—Roma 5:12.

UJehova uNkulunkulu, iNkosi EnguMbusi wendawo yonke wenze njani? Wahlela ilungiselelo lokuthethelelwa kwezono. (Roma 5:8) UJehova uNkulunkulu wenza nelungiselelo likahulumeni owawuyosingatha lesi simo. Leli lungiselelo libizwa ngokuthi “umbuso kaNkulunkulu.” (Luka 21:31) Njengoba lo Mbuso umiswe njengombuso ongaphansi kobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu bendawo yonke, unenjongo ekhethekile.

Iyini injongo yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu? Ziyini ezinye zezici zawo futhi zihluke kanjani emibusweni yabantu? Wawuzoqala nini ukubusa? Le mibuzo izophendulwa esihlokweni esilandelayo.
