Baibulo limanena kuti “Asa anachita zabwino pamaso pa Yehova” ndipo “anatumikira Yehova ndi mtima wathunthu.” (1 Maf. 15:11, 14) Ifenso tiyenera kutumikira Mulungu ndi mtima wathunthu. Zimenezi n’zofunika kwambiri ngati tikufuna kuti tikhale naye pa ubwenzi panopa mpaka m’tsogolo. Timayamikira kwambiri kuti Yehova wachita zinthu zothandiza kuti tikhale naye pa ubwenzi.

(1 Yoh. 5:14) Koma chinthu chachikulu chimene  wachita kuti tiyandikane naye ndi kupereka dipo. (Werengani 1 Yohane 4:9, 10, 19.) Yehova anatumiza “Mwana wake wobadwa yekha” kuti atipulumutse ku uchimo ndi imfa.—Yoh. 3:16.

(Werengani Yuda 20, 21.) Tiyeni tione chinthu china chimene Yehova wachita kuti tiyandikane naye.

Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito mzimu wake pouzira anthu kuti alembe mfundo zokhudza makhalidwe ake abwino komanso zolinga zake. Mwachitsanzo, pa Ekisodo 34:6, 7, Yehova anauza Mose kuti iye ndi “Mulungu wachifundo ndi wachisomo, wosakwiya msanga ndiponso wodzaza ndi kukoma mtima kosatha ndi choonadi.

(Gen. 32:10; Luka 5:8) Nanga angelo ‘akanachita mantha’ ngati ophunzira a Yesu? (Yoh. 6:19) Kapena kodi akanavutika kulimba mtima kuti alalikire ngati mmene zinalili ndi Paulo ndi anzake?

Mukamufunafuna iye adzalola kuti mum’peze, koma mukamusiya nayenso adzakusiyani.” (2 Mbiri 15:1, 2) Koma Asa atakalamba anasiya kutsatira malangizowo. Pa nthawi imene ufumu wakumpoto wa Isiraeli unkafuna kuukira Yuda, Asa anapempha thandizo kwa Asiriya. Iye anachita pangano ndi anthu osalambira Mulungu m’malo mopempha Yehova kuti amuthandize.
