Dza Ethiopianyi no sũae no kãa n’akoma yie ma ntsi, amonmu hɔ ara no ɔkãa dɛ: “Hwɛ, nsu nye yi: ebɛnadze na osiw m’enuma ho kwan?”​—Ndwuma 8:26-36.

3. (a) Ebɛn ahyɛdze na Jesus dze maa n’ekyidzifo? (b) Ebɛn kwan do na ɔsɛ dɛ wonuma obi?

³ Bible no kyerɛkyerɛ pefee dɛ, sɛ epɛ dɛ esom Jehovah a, ɔsɛ dɛ wonuma wo. Jesus kãa kyerɛɛ n’ekyidzifo dɛ: “Hom nkɔ nkɛyɛ amanaman nyina m’esuafo, na hom nnuma hɔn.” (Matthew 28:19) Bio so, Jesus maa wonumaa no dze yɛɛ nhwɛdo maa hɛn.

5. (a) Ansaana wobonuma wo no, ebɛnadze na ɔsɛ dɛ idzi kan yɛ? (b) Ebɛnadze ntsi na Christianfo nhyiamu ho hia?

⁵ Ɔsɛ dɛ ihu Jehovah nye Jesus na isũa hɔn ho adze ansaana woeenuma wo. Etu iyi ho anamɔn dadaw dze  nam Bible no a irusũa no do. (Kenkan John 17:3.) Naaso, iyi ara a ebɛyɛ no nndɔɔ sõ. Bible no kã dɛ, ɔsɛ dɛ ema Jehovah “ne pɛ ho nyimdzee” hyɛ wo mã. (Colossaefo 1:9) Nhyiamu ahorow a Jehovah Adasefo yɛ no bɔboa wo ma enye Jehovah eenya ebusuabɔ a no mu yɛ dzen. Iyi nye siantsir kor ntsi a ɔsɛ dɛ ekɔ dɛm nhyiamu ahorow no bi daa no.​—Hebrewfo 10:24, 25.

7. Ebɛn kwan do na Bible no a esũa no aboa wo?

⁷ Bible no kã dɛ: “Gyedzi nnyi mu a, obi nntum nnsɔ [Nyankopɔn] enyi.” (Hebrewfo 11:6) Dɛm ntsi, ɔsɛ dɛ inya gyedzi ana woeenuma wo. Bible no ma yehu dɛ, nna nyimpa binom wɔ tsetse kurow Corinth mu a wɔtsee asɛm a Jesus n’ekyidzifo no kãe no, na dza ofii mu bae nye dɛ, “wɔgyee dzii, ma wonumaa hɔn.” (Ndwuma 18:8) Dɛmara so na Bible no a esũa no aboa wo ma enya gyedzi wɔ Nyankopɔn n’anohoba ahorow nye tum a ɔwɔ Jesus no werdam no mu a obotum agye hɛn efi bɔn nye owu mu no mu.​—Joshua 23:14; Ndwuma 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

⁹ Ibia ebɛpɛ dɛ ekã dza irusũa no ho asɛm kyerɛ w’ebusuafo, w’anyɛnkofo, w’efipamfo anaa w’edwumamufo. Dɛm a ebɛyɛ no ye, naaso ɔsɛ dɛ eyɛ dɛm wɔ ɔdwe na ɔdɔ kwan do aber nyina.

Afei so, wɔbɔhwɛ dɛ edze dza Bible no kã no dzi dwuma wɔ wo da biara da asetsena mu na ɔyɛ ampaara dɛ epɛ dɛ ebɛyɛ Jehovah Adasefo no mu kor anaa.

(Ndwuma 20:28; 1 Peter 5:2, 3) Wɔ nhyiamu yi ekyir no, sɛ ibotum nye asafo no abɔ mu ayɛ asɛnka edwuma no a, mpanyimfo no bɛkã ho asɛm akyerɛ wo.

11. Ebɛnadze ntsi na ohia paa dɛ eyɛ nsesã ahorow ansaana etum nye asafo no abɔ mu ayɛ asɛnka edwuma no?

¹¹ Ibia mpanyimfo no bɛkã akyerɛ wo dɛ, ɔsɛ dɛ eyɛ nsesã ahorow bi ansaana etum nye asafo no abɔ mu ayɛ  asɛnka edwuma no. Ebɛnadze ntsi na ohia paa dɛ eyɛ nsesã ahorow a ɔtse dɛm? Osiandɛ, sɛ yɛkã Nyankopɔn ho asɛm kyerɛ nkorɔfo a, ɔkyerɛ dɛ yegyina Jehovah n’ananmu. Ntsi, ɔsɛ dɛ yɛdze hɛn abrabɔ hyɛ no enyimnyam.​—1 Corinthfo 6:9, 10; Galatiafo 5:19-21.

12. Ebɛnadze ntsi na ɔsɛ dɛ nyimpa nyina nu hɔnho?

¹² Adze fofor bi wɔ hɔ a ɔsɛ dɛ eyɛ ansaana woeenuma wo. Ɔsomafo Peter kãa dɛ: “Hom nnu homho, na hom ndan homho, ma wɔaapepa hom bɔn efi hom ho.” (Ndwuma 3:19) Wɔkã nnuho a, ɔkyerɛ dɛn? Dza ɔkyerɛ nye dɛ, yebedzi yaw ankasa wɔ bɔn bi a yɛayɛ ho. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, sɛ eyɛ obi a ebɔ edwamanbra a, nna ɔnodze ɔsɛ dɛ inu woho.

13. Sɛ wɔkã dɛ ‘dan woho’ a, ɔkyerɛ dɛn?

¹³ Aso nu a ibonu woho kɛkɛ wɔ dza ayɛ nyina ho no dɔɔ sõ? Oho. Peter kãa dɛ, ɔsɛ dɛ esan so ‘dan woho.’ Iyi kyerɛ dɛ, ɔsɛ dɛ igyaa wo nkan abrabɔ biara a omuo no na ehyɛ ase yɛ dza ɔtsen.

14. Ebɛyɛ dɛn ehyira woho do ama Nyankopɔn?

¹⁴ Anamɔn fofor a ohia dɛ itu ansaana woeenuma wo nye dɛ, ibehyira woho do ama Jehovah. Sɛ ibehyira woho do ama Jehovah a, ɔsɛ dɛ ebɔ mpaa dze bɔ no anohoba dɛ, ebɔsom ɔno nkotsee na ebɛma ne pɛ a ebɛyɛ no ayɛ ehiadze tsitsir wɔ w’asetsena mu.​—Deuteronomy 6:15.

¹⁵ Sɛ ebɔ Jehovah anohoba dɛ ebɔsom ɔno nkotsee a, ɔtse dɛ mbrɛ abɔ obi a edɔ no anohoba dɛ enye no bɛtsena wo nkwa nda a wɔaka nyina mu.

¹⁶ Aber a ekɔ do sũa Jehovah no ho adze pii no, ibenya ɔdɔ ama no na eenya ɔpɛ dɛ ebɛyɛ dza ibotum biara dze asom no. Iyi bekenyan wo ma aabɔ mpaa dze abɔ no anohoba dɛ ebɔsom no. Bible no kã dɛ, sɛ obi pɛ dɛ odzi Jesus n’ekyir a, “ma ɔmpa noho” ekyir. (Mark 8:34) Iyi kyerɛ dɛn? Ɔkyerɛ dɛ, ɔsɛ dɛ ema setsie a ebɛyɛ ama Jehovah no yɛ adze tsitsir wɔ w’asetsena mu. Jehovah ne pɛ a ebɛyɛ no ho hia sen wo botae ahorow nye ndzɛmba a wankasa epɛ.​—Kenkan 1 Peter 4:2.

17. Ebɛnadze ntsi na nyimpa binom mmpɛ dɛ wohyira hɔnho do ma Jehovah?

(Ɔsɛnkafo 5:4; Colossaefo 1:10) Iyi nnkɛma esusu da dɛ, Jehovah ne pɛ a ebɛyɛ no yɛ dzen dodoodow. Ɔsomafo John kyerɛɛw dɛ: “Nyankopɔn dɔ nye yi, dɛ yebedzi n’ahyɛdze do: na n’ahyɛdze no nnyɛ dzen.”​—1 John 5:3.

19. Ebɛnadze ntsi na ɔnnsɛ dɛ isuro dɛ ibehyira woho do ama Jehovah?

²¹ Bɔ w’asafo no mu mpanyimfo ntamu nkitahodzifo no amandzɛɛ dɛ, ehyira woho do ama Jehovah na epɛ dɛ  wonuma wo. Ɔbɛma mpanyimfo binom nye wo esusu Bible mu mfitsiase nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.

23. Numa a wonuma obi wɔ “Egya, nye Ɔba, nye Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn dzin mu” no kyerɛ dɛn?

²³ Jesus kãa dɛ wobonuma n’esuafo wɔ “Egya, nye Ɔba, nye Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn dzin mu.” (Kenkan Matthew 28:19.) Iyi kyerɛ dɛn? Ɔkyerɛ dɛ egye Jehovah no tumdzi, dwuma a Jesus dzi wɔ Nyankopɔn ne tsirmpɔw mu nye mbrɛ Nyankopɔn dze no sunsum krɔnkrɔn no dzi dwuma dze ma ne pɛ yɛ hɔ no to mu.​—Ndwom 83:18; Matthew 28:18; Galatiafo 5:22, 23; 2 Peter 1:21.

²⁵ Woho do a ehyira no bɔboa wo ma enye Nyankopɔn eenya anyɛnkofa a no mu yɛ dzen. (Ndwom 25:14) Iyi nnkyerɛ dɛ, numa a woenuma obi ntsi, obenya nkwagye.

Naaso, ibesi dɛn na aakɔ do atwe epin Jehovah? Buukuu yi ne tsir a odzi ewiei no bɛma yeenya asɛmbisa yi ho mbuae.
