1. Wanem nao main fasin bilong God, and wanem nao tingting bilong iu abaotem datwan?
BIBLE hem sei: “God hem love.” (1 John 4:8) Bat wanem nao diswan hem minim? Nomata Jehovah garem staka naesfala wei, love nao hem main fasin bilong hem. Bible no sei God hem garem love, bat hem sei God hem love. Evri samting wea hem duim showimaot love. Iumi hapi tumas love nao mekem Jehovah for wakem full universe and evri samting wea laef!
2. From God lovem iumi, wanem nao iumi barava sure long hem? (Lukim piksa long start bilong study.)

Olsem example, from Jehovah lovem iumi, “hem markem wanfala day for judgem olketa man evriwea long world. Hem bae judgem olketa long stretfala wei and hem bae iusim wanfala man wea hem markem for duim diswan,” wea hem nao Jesus Christ. (Acts 17:31) Iumi barava sure samting wea datfala scripture talem bae kamap tru. Pipol wea obeyim God bae kasem barava gud samting long future, and gud samting hia bae gohed for olowe.
WANEM NAO HISTORY HEM SHOWIMAOT?
3. Wanem nao bae happen long future sapos God no lovem olketa man?
3 Tingim samting wea savve happen long future sapos God no lovem iumi olketa man. Olketa gavman bilong man bae gohed for rul, and Satan, wea no showimaot love and duim olketa nogud samting bae gohed for kontrolem olketa man. (2 Cor. 4:4; 1 John 5:19; readim Revelation 12:9, 12.) Olketa barava nogud samting bae happen long future sapos love hem no main fasin bilong God!
4. Why nao Jehovah letem Satan for againstim rul bilong hem?
4 Taem Satan againstim rul bilong God, hem switim tu Adam and Eve for duim sem samting. Satan kwestinim raet bilong God for rulim full universe. Hem olsem Satan sei rul bilong hem bae gud winim rul bilong God. (Gen. 3:1-5) From Jehovah garem wisdom, hem letem Satan for trae pruvim sapos samting wea hem talem hem tru. Olketa samting wea happen long history showimaot man and Satan no fit for rulim pipol.
5. Wanem nao olketa samting wea happen long history hem showimaot?
5 Distaem olketa samting long world gohed for kamap barava nogud. Insaed 100 year wea go pas finis, winim 100 million pipol dae long olketa war. Bible sei olsem abaotem olketa last day: “Wei bilong olketa nogud man and olketa man for laea bae worse moa.” (2 Tim. 3:1, 13) Bible sei tu: “Jehovah, mi luksavve man no fit for kontrolem laef bilong hemseleva. Hem no fitim man seleva for kontrolem gogo bilong hem.” (Jer. 10:23) Olketa samting wea happen long history showimaot datfala scripture talem tru samting. Jehovah no wakem olketa man for rulim olketa seleva and olketa no garem raet for duim datwan. Olketa man needim God for leadim olketa.
6. Why nao God letem olketa nogud samting for gohed kam kasem distaem?
6 From God letem olketa nogud samting for gohed kam kasem distaem, datwan showimaot rul bilong Jehovah nomoa bae mekem olketa man for kasem gud samting. Long future, God bae finisim evri nogud pipol. Bihaen datwan, no eniwan bae fit for kwestinim moa raet bilong God for rul, or for duim nogud samting. Sapos eniwan duim olsem, God bae stretawe finisim hem. Olketa samting wea happen long history pruvim hem no stret for eniwan kwestinim raet bilong God for rul.
