Zinkaganiziridwa kuti kusangalala ndi chinthu cholakwika, chachiwerewere, ndi chochititsa manyazi. Kuti ngati tikulankhula za uzimu, za Chikondi, za chiyero ndi za Mulungu, ndiye kuti zikuyenera kukhala zokhudza kuvutika ndi zowawa zazikulu zokhazokha.

Mulungu koposa zonse ndi Chisangalalo. Khristu anatisiira malamulo 10. Ndipo sikuti «usaphe ndi usabe» – amenewo ndi malamulo a Mose, Malamulo a Chipangano Chakale. Koma Khristu anasiya malamulo 10 a Chipangano Chatsopano. Mwa amenewa, lamulo 1 ndi la Chikondi, ndipo 9 ndi Madalitso a Chimwemwe Chosatha. Ndipo Chimwemwe Chosatha nchiyani? Chimwemwe Chosatha ndi msinkhu wapamwamba kwambiri wa chisangalalo.

Kungoti Khristu amatisonyeza njira yapadera yopita ku Chisangalalo. Osati njira imene tinaiyolowera. Iye akunena kuti – chisangalalo ndi chisangalalo zimasiyana, ndipo chisangalalo chimene unkakhutitsira thupi lako kudzera m'zinthu zakunja: umbombo wa chakudya, zilakolako, dama, mowa, mankhwala osokoneza bongo, zosangulutsa, mphamvu yolamulira ena – zinkakuwononga Iwe, zikumadya kwenikweni mphamvu zako (zimene, ndikukukumbutsa, unapatsidwa kwa zaka 120, koma Iwe unkafuna kuziwononga zonse – pa mlungu umodzi)). Ndipo zinali zovuta kuchitcha chisangalalo, zokondweretsa zakunja nthawi zonse zinkasiya kusakhutira, nthawi zonse unkasoŵa, nthawi zonse unkayembekezera zambiri – mwachidwi, koma pamapeto pake – unkakhumudwa. Ndipo nthawi iliyonse chisangalalo choterocho

chinkakhala chosakondweretsa kwambiri, chozizira kwambiri, n'kumatheratu. Kuthekera komweko kosangalala kunkatayika. Kwenikweni, chinali chowawa chokulungidwa m'zokoma.

Koma pali Chisangalalo chotero, akutero Khristu, Chisangalalo Chapamwamba Kwambiri, cha chibadwidwe chako – chimene sichidalira chilichonse chakunja, ndipo chimene sichimangokhala champhamvu kwambiri kuposa zokondweretsa zonse zakunja zimene unazidziwa, – chimene chiri chisangalalo chenicheni, Chisangalalo pa msinkhu wa Chimwemwe Chosatha, ndipo sichimangopereka lingaliro la kukhutira kwangwiro ndi kudzaza, koma nthawi zonse chimakula kukhala champhamvu kwambiri ndi cha mitundumitundu. Ichi ndi Chisangalalo cha Chikondi chenicheni – chotheratu, chopanda malire, chosatha – lingaliro la Mphamvu ya Mulungu, kumva Choonadi Chenicheni – Chisangalalo chogwirizana ndi chibadwidwe chako cha Umulungu, ndi Mulungu, ndi Gwero lenileni la Chisangalalo mkati mwako.

Mkhalidwe uwu wa Chimwemwe Chosatha ndi umene Khristu amautcha Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndipo amawonjezera mwapadera kuti tisakayike, kuti uwu ndi mkhalidwe wa mkati, osati dziko linalake lanthano, la paradiso, lakunja:

«Pakuti taonani, Ufumu wa Mulungu uli mkati mwanu».

Inde, Chisangalalo ichi chimafuna khama pang'ono kumbali yathu, kuwonetsa chifuno, chifukwa chake abambo oyera amati ndi chotsekemera chokulungidwa m'chofunda chowawa. Koma lingalira, chifuno, kudziletsa Iwe Mwini, palokha ndi chinthu

chosangalatsa. Pamapeto pake timapeza chitsanzo changwiro: chisangalalo chimene chimakulitsa Chisangalalo. Chifuno ndi chisangalalo, ndipo mawu akuti «chifuno» alinso tanthauzo limodzi ndi ufulu. Chifuno ndi chisangalalo, chifukwa ndi zokondweretsa kwambiri kumva kuti palibe zonyenga zakunja zimene zikukulamulira, kuti Iwe mwini umatha kuwongolera chidwi chako, zilakolako za thupi lako ndi kudziwa momwe ungazitsogolere ku zimene zikufunika kwa Iwe, osati ku tizilombo tako ndi mahomoni (werengani, mizimu yoyipa). Ndi kokondweretsa bwanji kukhala womasuka kwenikweni, kumva ufulu umenewu, kusangalala ndi Ufulu uwu! Ufulu Weniweni m'malo mwa chinyengo chimene ndalama ndi mphamvu zakunja zimapereka. Pakuti kwenikweni, ndalama ndi mphamvu zakunja ndi njira chabe yokhutitsira zilakolako za ukapolo.
