Qahal ti chu Pathien mihai pungkhâwm amanih Pathien mihai fe khâwm hrilna a nih. Chuongchun, Kohran ti chu Pathien mi pungkhâwmhai tina a ni el a nih. Kohran chu an fekhâwmna pâwl kha va ni loin, a fekhâwmhai, a mihriemhai lem hi an nih. A ṭawngbul tieng umzie suituhai chun pungkhâwmhai hi thlang anga fe khâwm an inkâwk tira, chun, a koa ko khâwm a kâwk bawk niin an hril. Chu umzie chu kohran tiha umhai chu thlang khâwm le ko khâwmhai hi an nih. Mani nuom dân le mani thu thua fe khâwm ringawt hai chu a kâwk naw tawp a nih. Tuta Kohran ei ti tak hi chu Pentecost nia pieng, Thlarau Thienghlim ichênchil, Kristaa siehran, mi thienghlim ni dinga ko le siehranhai an nih (1 Kor. 1:2). Chuongchun, Kohran chu mani nia um mimal ni lo, lunginsietna zara ringna lei chaua sandamhai inpawlkhâwm, sandamna banga inhuon khum, vân Pathien pâwl khawvêla um, chungtienga inthawka awp tlat, pâwl thienghlim a nih.

(ii) Kohran chu Krista Lungpui chunga innghat a nih (Mt. 16:18-19)
Kohran indiktak chu châu le hratnaw thei lanisienkhawm bo thei ta lo ding, chatuon Lungpui Kristaa rem a ni leiin, “mithi khuo kul kawtkhârhai chun chu chu ngam naw ni hai” (Mt. 16:18). Khawvêla biekin po pohai hi raw hâwp vawngin, a lungphûmhai chen khawm kei dawk vawng nisien khawm kohran chu um zing a tih. Pâwl hming ropui tak takhai hieng, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, ICI le a dang danghai, ei hla buhai, ei ṭawngṭai buhai, ei theology buhai, hrilfie buhai, ei Bible College-hai hi khawvêl bo ruola boral ve ding vawng an nih. Chu hma khawm chun an boral el thei. Amiruokchu, Pathien thil hlu, a thisen ngêia an din kohran chu chatuona um zing ding a nih (Lk. 12:33). Chuleiin, Pathienin a Kohran hi mihriemhai kuomah a pêk suok naw hrim hrim. A thisen ngeia an tlansahai hmangin Amain a enkawl a ni lem a nih.
Tulai hmuthei kohrana hin, a ṭhibe pâwl deu hai hrilnaa “kohran ban” “chawngpu” an naw leh, “Kohran innghatna” ti hai ang ṭawngkam ei sersuoka, ei hmang hlak hai khawm hin tâwk siet a nei el thei ta ding niin an lang. A ṭhen lem hin chu Kohran chu Krista Lungpui chunga innghat a nih ti theinghilin annia innghat tak tak sawn pâwl dâm ei um tah a.

Chuleiin, mihriem pakhat amanih, sungkuo pakhat amanih an ṭhang naw lei el in Kohran chu tlusie el dinga ngaina hai dam ei lo nei hlak a. A khingtienga chun “Ka ṭhang lovin iem an chang rêng” tia lungril putin annihai thaw nasat lei chaua kohran chu ngîr thei ni dinga ringna nei ei um hlak bawk. Hieng ang mihai hin Kohran siet ding nêkin biekin siet ding an inlau lem a, Kohran muolpho ding nêkin pâwl muolpho ding an inlâu lem hlak a nih. Biblein thutak a mi puong pêk ruok chu: Kohran chu Krista Lungpui chunga innghat a nih ti hi a nih.

Chuleiin, neitu lungril put lovin Krista suok ei nina lungril le a rohluopuitu ei nina lungril put lem ei ta, chu chun Kohran innghatna chu Krista chau hi a nih ti chu a takin ei hring pui thei ding chau a nih.
(iii) Kohran chu Krista taksa a nih (Eph. 1:23; Kol. 1:24; Eph. 4:12)
“Kohran chu Krista taksa a nih,” ti hi tekhîna (symbol, metaphor) pakhat hmanga Kohran hrilfiena a nih. Hi tekhîna hi chi hnia hmang a niha: taksa pûmhlûm (whole body) kohran anga hrilna (1 Kor. 12:16-17), le a Lû chu Krista, a pum po Kohran anga hrilna in (Eph. 1:22-23). A târlang nuom tak chu kohran inpumkhatna (oneness), ringtu po po ei rêngin Kristaa chun pumkhat vawng ei nih ti thutak hi a nih. Hi inpumkhatna hi Lû le taksa inpumkhatna le a taksa penghai inpumkhatnaa nih. Hril dân danga hril chun chungtieng inlâichinna (Lû [Krista] le, taksa pum [Kohran]) kâra inlâichinna a kâwka, chun, sûngtieng inlâichinna (Ringtu taksa pêng tam takhai kara inlâichinna) a kâwk bawk a nih. Sûngtienga inlâichînna hi chungtienga inlâichînna a innghat a na, chungtieng le inzawmna a ṭha chun sûngtieng inzawmna khawm a ṭha ngei ding a nih. Sûngtienga ei inlaichinna hi ieng anga ṭha am a na?
Ringtuhai hi Krista le chau inzawm ei ni nawh a Kristaah zawm khawm ei nih. Hril dan danga hril chun ringtu (mimal) Krista le chau inzawmna (piengtharna) nei a ringtu danghai le inzawmna nei dêr lo ti a um thei nawh. Krista taksaah i um ve (ṭhang ve) a ni chun a malin i um ve a ni nawh. Krista le nanga mimal khat bak inzawmna an nawh. Krista le in tuolsung kohran chau inzawmna an nawh. Krista le in Presbytery chau in zawmna an nawh. Krista le in pawl (ICI, RPC, etc.) chau in zawmna khawm an nawh. Krista taksa chu Kristaa um po pohai inzawmkhâwmna or inpumkhatna hi a nih. Local kohran pakhat Krista le chau inzawmna nei a local kohran danghai le iengkhawm taksa, lungril le thlaraua inzawmna nei lo chu Krista taksa um dan ding an nawh. Krista le zawm ei ni ang tak in ringtu po po ei rêngin Krista ah chun zawmkhawm vawng ei nih. Thuthlung Thar ziektuhai hin ringtuhai hi “Kristaah” (in Christ) chun an mi khumkhawm vawng a, a mal malin an mi sie naw hrim hrim – “Hmangainaa inthieng le, sawiselboa ama hmaa ei um theina dingin leilung insieng hmain Kristaa chun a mi thlang a.” (Eph. 1:4). “Tu ruok hin chu Krista Isuah, nangni inhmaa hlataka umhai kha, Krista thisen chun sukhnaiin in lo um tah” (Eph. 2:13). Ringtuhai chu hieng ang taka Kristaa chun zawm khawm vawng ei ni tak lei hin Krista taksaa pêng hrang hrang Bible chun a mi ti tah a nih (Rom 6:1-10). Amiruokchu, Kristaa ringtuhai pumkhat an nina indiktak chu pumkhata um (organic unity) amanih, Kohran Pâwlhai Inzawmkhâwm (Church Union) nilovin, Thlaraua Inpumkhatna (Unity in Spirit) a nih. Tuta ei ngrihmuna hin pawl hming le inrêlbâwl dân hran hran neiin um hran inla khawm Krista hminga pungkhâwm, Krista thisena insieng ei nina a bo chuong nawh. Ei rêng hin bul thuhmun, Pa hmun, Lû pakhat nei, bâwm khat sûnga mi vawng ei nih. Khawvêla insûng tinhai khawm hi hming hran hran neiin ei um khâwma. Chun, mamaw ṭulna leiin intumhai suok in ei indar lien pei hlak. Amiruokchu, sûngkhat, thisen hmunkhat ei nina a bo ngai naw ang hin Lal Isu’n amaa a remkhâwm Kohran ei nina hi ienglai khawmin a bo ngai nawh.
Hieng ang hin Kristaa chun mak le danglam taka zawmkhâwm vawng ei ni leiin ei ringtu chanpuihai laka in sie hranna lungril le thil thaw iengtik huna khawm, ieng hmuna khawm ei nei a thieng nawh. “Nangni-keini” tina lungril le thil thaw hrim hrim hi ei taksa pumkhat sûngah um ding a ni nawh. Chuong ang lungril le thilthaw a lo um pal a ni chun Krista taksa a ṭhang ve mimal, tuolsûng kohran, Presbytery le pawl lungril le thilthaw indik tak ei ni nawh ti ei inhriet a ṭul a nih. Mimal, tuolsûng kohran, mani Presbytery le umna pâwl suk hmasawn le inṭhanglienna ding ringawt ngaituoa ṭhahnemngai ei lo ni chun Krista taksa mawina le puitlingna ding ni loin mani rawngbawl chau ei ni lem a nih. Bible chun, “Chuong ang mihai chun, ei Lalpa Krista rawng an bâwl nawh a, anni phing rawng an bâwl lem hlak a nih,” a mi ti pêk tawp el a nih (Rom 16:18). Hi nungchang hi Kohran nungchang ni loin bo nâwk el ding bu tehlem buoi puia in lap rak rak hlak, pai nei lo nun kawrawng, mi vervêk Pharisaihai nungchang a nih. Chuleiin, Isu’n “Pharisaihai le Saddukaihai chawla inthawk ruok chun fimkhur ro” tiin a kohran chu a vau a nih (Mt. 16:11). Chun, Paula khawmin, “Krista chu hein a um am a nih? tiin Kohran sunga inṭhena chu a kâwka (1 Kor. 1:13), chun, “inṭhena le tlûkna siemtuhai chu veng ṭha dingin le nghatsan dingin ka ngen cheu,” tîn Kohranhai a min fûi bawk nih (Rom 16:17).
(iv) Kohran lû chu Krista a nih (Eph. 1:22; 5:23; Kol. 1:18)
Isu Krista chu a Kohran Lû a nih ti khawm hi Biblein tekhîna (symbol, metaphor) hmanga Kohran hrilna tho a nih. Pastor le Kohran Upahai an ni nawh – “Ama chu a taksa – Kohran lû a na,” a tih a (Kol. 1:18). “Chun, thil tinrêng a ke hnuoiah a sieh a, ama chu iengkim po po chunga lû dingin kohranhai kuoma chun a pêk a,” ti a nih (Eph. 1:22). Taksa pum hi a pênghaiin a ṭhuoi nawh a, lûin a ṭhuoi lem ang hin Kohran khawm hi a Lû (Krista) in a ṭhuoi lem ding a nih.
Lû hi taksa bung tinrenghai natna lo hrea tuortu a nih. I kepui lungin del sien, a hliem natna kha i luin a lo hriet nghal ding a nih. Chuong ang bawkin, Kohranin sukrinumna a tuok pha Kohran Lû in na a lo hriet nghal hlak a nih. Saula’n ringtuhai chu khuopa suknawmnat le that dinga an thawk suok lai khan, Damaska khaw kawlah Isu’n a lo intuokpui a, “Saula, Saula, nangin iengdinga i mi suknawmna am a na?” a ti tlat. Saula’n ringtuhai a suknawmna a, amiruokchu, Isu’n, “nangin iengdinga i mi suknawmna am a na?” a ti thei tlat hi ienglei am a na? Hi huna hin Isu kha suknawmnat thei dingin hnuoiah taksain a um ta nawh, vânah a lawn dai an tah. Chu um zie chu Krista taksa (Kohran) hi suknawmnat a ni pha pha Lu (Krista) in na a lo tuor el a nih.
A taksa châwma enkawltu dinga Thlarau Thienghlimin Kohran fe thlenga hriek a nâl, hnuoi berâmpuhai dâm intîmna um der loa dem le hrilsea, kûn ngâwi ngâwia sukrinum tu ei um hlak.

Lû hi iengkim hretu a na, damlai nia inlang suok lo ding thilhai chen khawm a lo hriet fai vawng a ni lei hin a taksa hi indawi hle ding a nih. Duot hle ding a nih. Inza hle ding a nih.
