Okamanya byona ebi Yehova yaaherize kukora kubaasisa eki kubaho, kandi okeetegyereza ngu akatuha ekiconco ky’omuhendo munonga arikwohereza Omwana we omu nsi. (Matayo 20:28; Yohaana 8:29; Abarooma 5:12, 18) Ku waagumire nooyega ahari rukundo mpango ei Yehova akwiniire, naiwe okatandika kumukunda.​—Shoma 1 Yohaana 4:9, 10.

Kandi twashoma Baibuli nitwongyera kwetegyereza gye Yehova. Nitumanya emiteekateekyere ye, otwariiremu ebi arikukunda n’ebi arikwanga.—Shoma Zaaburi 97:10; Enfumu 6:16-19; reeba Ebirikukiraho 1.

Baibuli neeyoreka ngu Yehova naayanga ‘abarikukunda’ obushaarizi, kandi ngu ‘abashambani naija kubacwera orubanja.’ (Zaaburi 11:5; Abaheburaayo 13:4) Emisingye egi neebaasa kutuhwera eta kucwamu gye? Twamanya ngu Yehova naayanga ekintu nari ngu naakireeba nk’ekirikuhemurana, tushemereire kukyetantara.

Nk’oku abaana barikuba nibenda kushemeza ishebo, naitwe nituba nitwenda kushemeza Tataitwe ow’omu iguru. Ka nikishemeza munonga kumanya ngu Yehova naasiima ebi turikukora!—Zaaburi 5:12; Enfumu 12:2; reeba Ebirikukiraho 2.

(Eky’Ebiragiro 12:32) Kureka, nitumworobera omu bwijwire, nk’omuhandiiki wa Zaaburi owaagizire ati: ‘Ninshemezibwa ebiragiro byawe, kandi nimbikunda.’ (Zaaburi 119:47; Abarooma 6:17) Nitwenda kuba nka Noa, owaayorekire ngu naakunda Yehova arikukora buri kimwe eki yaamuragiire kukora. Baibuli neegira ngu Noa akaba “nikwo yaatwaza.” (Okutandika 6:22) Naiwe nooyenda Yehova akugambeho atyo?

Kureka atuhaire obugabe bw’okwecweramu. Eki nikimanyisa ngu twine obugabe bw’okucwamu kukora ekihikire nari ekigwire. Yehova naayenda ngu rukundo ei tumwiniire etuhigye kucwamu gye, kubaasa kutunga amagara agarikukirayo oburungi nk’oku kirikubaasika.—Eky’Ebiragiro 30:15, 16, 19, 20; reeba Ebirikukiraho 3.

Baibuli neekyoreka gye ngu ‘ebiragiro bye tibirikurutsya.’ (1 Yohaana 5:3) Ekigambo ky’Orugriika ‘okurutsya’ nikimanyisa “okuremeera.” Omu byahandiikirwe ebindi, ekigambo eki  nikikoresibwa kumanyisa ebiragiro by’amaremesa nari abantu abarikutegyeka abandi, kandi bakabakora kubi. (Matayo 23:4; Ebyakozirwe 20:29, 30) Baibuli eya New English Translation yo neegira ngu “ebiragiro bye tibirikutukiza amaani.” Ebiragiro bya Yehova ‘tibirikuremeera,’ ekirikumanyisa ngu tibigumire munonga kuturema kubyorobera. Butoosha ebi arikutushaba ti maremesa.

¹⁴ Nk’eky’okureeberaho, ka tugire ngu oriyo noohwera munywani waawe kufuruka kuza omu nju endiijo. Ebintu bye byona abitaire omu bibokusi.

Mbwenu shi munywani waawe naija kukushaba kukiriza wenka ekibokusi ekirikuremeera munonga? Ngaaha tarikubaasa! Ahabw’enki? Ahakuba tarikwenda ngu ohendekye. Nka munywani waawe ogwo, Yehova tarikubaasa kutushaba kukora ekintu ekigumire munonga. (Eky’Ebiragiro 30:11-14) Yehova naayetegyereza gye oku tukozirwe. “Naamanya obuhangwa bwaitu, naijuka ku turi omucuucu.”​—Zaaburi 103:14.

15. Ahabw’enki nitubaasa kuhamya ngu ebiragiro bya Yehova n’eby’oburungi bwaitu?

(Abarooma 7:21-25) Kwonka rukundo ei twiniire Yehova neetuha amaani g’okukora ebihikire. Naareeba okuteeraho kwaitu kumworobera, kandi naatuhwera arikutuha omwoyo gwe gurikwera ogw’amaani maingi. (1 Samueli 15:22, 23; Ebyakozirwe 5:32) Omwoyo ogu nigutuhwera kugira emitwarize erikutubaasisa kumworobera tutagumiirwe.​—Abagalatia 5:22, 23.

17, 18. (a) Nituza kwega ki omu kitabo eki? (b) Nituza kushwijuma ki omu shuura erikukurataho?

¹⁷ Omu kitabo eki, nituza kwega oku turikubaasa kutwaza omu muringo ogurikushemeza Yehova. Nituza kwega oku turikubaasa kugyendera aha misingye ye n’emitindo ye ey’emicwe omu bi turikukora.

Ekikuru munonga, ku turikworobera Yehova nitworeka ngu nitumukunda.—Reeba Ebirikukiraho 4.
