Bɔt di apɔsul Pɔl bin tɔk bɔt wetin kin apin to dɛn ɔl. I bin se: “Wɛn una biliv Krays, Gɔd gi una in Spirit we i bin dɔn prɔmis wi, dat na di mak fɔ sho se wi na Gɔd yon pipul. Na Gɔd in Spirit wi fɔ abop pan fɔ no se wi go gɛt wetin Gɔd bin dɔn prɔmis fɔ gi in pipul dɛn.” (Lɛta Fɔ Ɛfisɔs 1:​13, 14) So Jiova kin yuz in oli spirit fɔ sho dɛn Kristian dɛn ya klia wan se i dɔn pik dɛn fɔ go de na ɛvin. Di oli spirit kin mek dɛn “no se” ɔ pruv to dɛn se tumara bambay dɛn go de na ɛvin sote go, nɔto dis wɔl dɛn go de.—Rid Sɛkɛn Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 1:​21, 22; 5:​5.

7. Wetin anɔyntɛd Kristian fɔ du fɔ gɛt di tin we Gɔd dɔn prɔmis am na ɛvin?

 ⁷ We Jiova anɔynt pɔsin, fɔ se natin nɔ go pwɛl am i go gɛt wetin Jiova dɔn prɔmis am? Nɔ, nɔto so i bi. Di pɔsin kin rili biliv se Jiova dɔn kɔl am fɔ go na ɛvin. Bɔt di wangren tin we go mek i gɛt wetin Jiova prɔmis am na we i kɔntinyu fɔ fetful to Jiova. Pita bin ɛksplen am dis we: “Mi Kristiɛn brɔda dɛn, na dat mek una fɔ tray fɔ du di wok we sho se Gɔd kɔl una ɛn pik una fɔ tru; if una du ɔl dɛn tin ya, una nɔ go lɛf fɔ biliv pan Gɔd ɛn tap fɔ waka wit Gɔd.

Pan ɔl we Jiova dɔn kɔl am fɔ go na ɛvin, if i nɔ kɔntinyu fɔ du wetin Jiova want, i nɔ go gɛt wetin Jiova dɔn prɔmis am.—Di Ibru Pipul Dɛn 3:​1; Rɛvɛleshɔn 2:​10.

Gɔd mek mɔtalman fɔ liv na dis wɔl sote go, nɔto fɔ de na ɛvin. (Jɛnɛsis 1:​28; Sam 37:​29) Bɔt Jiova dɔn pik sɔm pipul dɛn fɔ bi kiŋ ɛn prist na ɛvin. So we i anɔynt dɛn, dɛn op ɛn di we aw dɛn de tink de chenj, so na ɛvin dɛn abop fɔ de naw.—Rid Lɛta Fɔ Ɛfisɔs 1:​18.

⁹ Bɔt aw pɔsin go no se Gɔd dɔn kɔl am fɔ go na ɛvin? Notis wetin Pɔl tɛl di anɔyntɛd brɔda dɛn na Rom we i kɔl di wan dɛn we Gɔd “dɔn kɔl fɔ bi in yon pipul.” I tɛl dɛn se: “Di Spirit we Gɔd gi una nɔ mek una bi slev ɛn i nɔ de mek una fred, bɔt i mek una bi Gɔd in pikin dɛn ɛn nain de mek wi se, ‘Papa, mi Papa,’ we wi de kɔl Gɔd. Gɔd in Spirit wit wi yon spirit de tɔk di sem tin se wi na Gɔd in pikin dɛn.” (Lɛta Fɔ Rom 1:​7; 8:​15, 16) Gɔd kin yuz in oli spirit fɔ mek pɔsin no klia wan se i dɔn kɔl am fɔ rul as kiŋ na ɛvin wit Jizɔs.—Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Tɛsalonayka 2:​12.

10. Wetin Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 2:​27 min we i se anɔyntɛd Kristian nɔ nid ɛni ɔda pɔsin fɔ tich dɛn?

¹⁰ Di wan dɛn we Gɔd dɔn kɔl nɔ nid ɛni ɔda pɔsin fɔ kam tɛl dɛn se Gɔd dɔn anɔynt dɛn. Jiova kin mek dɛn rili no se dɛn na anɔyntɛd. Di apɔsul Jɔn bin tɛl anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛn se: “Di oli wan dɔn anɔynt una, ɛn una ɔl no.” I tɛl dɛn bak se: “As fɔ una, di anɔynt we i dɔn anɔynt una go de pan una, ɛn una nɔ nid ɛnibɔdi fɔ tich una; bɔt di anɔynt we i dɔn anɔynt una de tich una ɔltin ɛn na tru, nɔto lay. Jɔs lɛk aw i dɔn tich una, una kɔntinyu fɔ de wit am.” (Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 2:​20, 27, NW) Lɛk ɛni ɔda pɔsin, anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛnsɛf nid Jiova fɔ tich dɛn. Bɔt dɛn nɔ nid ɛnibɔdi fɔ tɛl dɛn se dɛn na anɔyntɛd. Jiova dɔn yuz in oli spirit, we pawaful pas ɛnitin, fɔ mek am klia to dɛn se dɛn na anɔyntɛd.

11, 12. Wetin anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛn kin wɔnda bɔt? Wetin dɛn nɔ de ɛva dawt?

¹¹ We Jiova anɔynt Kristian dɛn wit oli spirit, dɛn kin rili chenj. Infakt, Jizɔs se dɛn dɔn “bɔn sɛkɛn tɛm.” (Jɔn 3:​3, 5) Jizɔs bin ɛksplen se: “Nɔ wɔnda we a tɛl yu se, una ɔl fɔ bɔn sɛkɛn tɛm. Briz de blo ɛni say we i lɛk; yu de yɛri di sawnd we i de mek, bɔt yu nɔ no usay i kɔmɔt, yu nɔ no usay i de go. Na di sem tin de bi wɛn Gɔd in Spirit gi pɔsin nyu layf.” (Jɔn 3:​7, 8) So wi dɔn si klia wan se i nɔ pɔsibul fɔ rili  ɛksplen aw pɔsin we na anɔyntɛd kin fil to pɔsin we nɔto anɔyntɛd. ^[2]—Rid di ɛndnot ɔnda di las paregraf.

¹² Sɔmbɔdi we Jiova dɔn anɔynt go de wɔnda ɛn aks insɛf dis kwɛstyɔn, ‘Wetin mek Jiova nɔ pik ɔda pɔsin, na mi i pik?’ I go ivin de wɔnda if i fit fɔ dis wok. Bɔt i nɔ de dawt se Jiova dɔn pik am. Bifo dat, i rili gladi ɛn i de tɛl Jiova tɛnki fɔ dis gift. Anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛn de fil lɛk aw Pita bin fil we i tɔk se: “Lɛ wi tɛl Gɔd, we na Masta Jizɔs Krays in Papa, tɛnki! Bikɔs Gɔd sɔri fɔ wi, i mek Jizɔs Krays rayz frɔm di grev fɔ gi wi nyu layf, na dat mek wi abop fɔ gɛt layf we go de sote go, ɛn so, wi abop fɔ gɛt di wɔndaful blɛsin dɛn we Gɔd bin dɔn prɔmis in pipul dɛn ɛn we i kip na ɛvin fɔ una. Dɛn blɛsin ya nɔ de pwɛl, dɛn nɔ de chenj ɛn dɛn go de sote go.” (Pita In Fɔs Lɛta 1:​3, 4) We anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛn rid dɛn wɔd ya, dɛn nɔ gɛt wan dawt se na dɛn Papa de tɔk to dɛn.

Ɛn dɛn bin de wet fɔ di tɛm we dɛn go bil dɛn yon os ɛn liv de ɔ plant tik dɛn ɛn it di frut dɛn. (Ayzaya 65:​21-23) Wetin mek dɛn bigin fɔ tink difrɛn we? Dɛn bin chenj bikɔs dɛn at pwɛl ɔ dɛn dɔn sɔfa pasmak? Dɛn jɔs grap wande ɛn se dɛn go gens fɔ liv na dis wɔl sote go ɛn dɛn nɔ go gɛt gladi at if dɛn de na dis wɔl?
