WAT RANSOM TEACHIM IUMI ABAOTEM JEHOVAH
3. Hao nao dae blo wanfala man savve mekem staka million pipol kamap free from sin and dae? (Lukim tu piksa.)
3 Datfala ransom teachim iumi abaotem justice blo Jehovah. (Deut. 32:4) Hao nao olsem? Tingim: From Adam disobey, iumi inheritim sin wea lead go lo dae. (Rome 5:12) For mekem iumi kamap free from sin and dae, Jehovah arrange for Jesus provaedem datfala ransom. Bat hao nao sakrifaes blo wanfala perfect man savve mekem staka million pipol for kamap free? Aposol Paul sei: “From wanfala man [Adam] no obeyim God, diswan mekem staka pipol sin. Olsem tu, from wanfala man [Jesus] hem obeyim God, diswan bae mekem staka pipol raeteous.” (Rome 5:19; 1 Tim. 2:6) So iumi kamap slave lo sin and dae bikos wanfala perfect man hem disobey. Dastawe, for mekem iumi kamap free, iumi needim tu wanfala perfect man wea hem obey.
4. Why nao Jehovah no just letem olketa pikinini blo Adam wea obey for laef olowe?
4 Hao, Jesus really need for dae for sevem iumi? Why nao Jehovah no just disaed for letem nomoa olketa pikinini blo Adam wea obey for laef olowe? Iumi olketa imperfect man maet tingse hem stret nomoa for Jehovah duim datwan. Bat datwan hem no fitim perfect justice blo Jehovah. Bikos Jehovah hem God blo justice, hard tumas for hem chus for ignorem wei wea Adam hem disobey.
5. Why nao iumi savve sure Jehovah bae evritaem duim wat hem stret?
5 Wat if Jehovah no provaedem ransom and disaed for no followim justice, bat hem letem olketa pikinini blo Adam wea no perfect for gohed laef olowe? Datwan maet mekem pipol for ting, if God no followim justice lo disfala situation, maet bae hem no followim justice lo olketa nara samting tu. For example, hao, Jehovah bae keepim olketa promis blo hem tu? Iumi sure hem bae keepim. For followim justice, Jehovah willing for sakrifaesim Son blo hem wea hem lovem tumas nomata datwan mekem hemseleva safa, dastawe iumi sure hem bae evritaem duim wat hem stret.
6. Wat nao wanfala wei wea ransom showimaot love blo Jehovah? (1 John 4:9, 10)
6 Hem tru, ransom helpem iumi for understandim justice blo Jehovah, bat hem especially helpem iumi for minim hao big nao love blo Jehovah for iumi. (John 3:16; readim 1 John 4:9, 10.) Ransom showimaot Jehovah no just laekem iumi for kasem laef olowe bat for kamap part lo famili blo hem. Tingim: Taem Adam sin, Jehovah aotem hem from famili blo hem. From datwan, iumi evriwan born aotsaed lo famili blo God. Bat bikos lo ransom, Jehovah savve forgivim sin blo iumi and evriwan wea showimaot faith and obey bae kamap part lo famili blo hem lo future. Even distaem tu iumi savve garem klos wei for fren witim Jehovah and olketa brata and sista. Tru nao, Jehovah barava lovem iumi!—Rome 5:10, 11.
7. Hao nao wei wea Jesus safa helpem iumi for understandim love blo Jehovah for iumi?
7 For understandim gud love blo Jehovah for iumi, hem gud for ting raonem wat Jehovah go thru lo hem taem hem givim datfala ransom. Satan sei no eni servant blo God bae gohed faithful lo Jehovah taem olketa feisim olketa hard taem. So for pruvim datfala toktok hem no tru, Jehovah letem Jesus for safa bifor hem dae. (Job 2:1-5; 1 Pet. 2:21) Jehovah lukim taem olketa bigman blo religion tok spoelem Jesus, olketa soldia whipim hem nogud, and olketa nilam hem lo post. Then Jehovah watchim Son blo hem wea hem lovem tumas kasem bigfala pain and hem safa and dae. (Matt. 27:28-31, 39) Jehovah garem paoa for stopem datwan. For example, taem pipol wea againstim hem sei: “Sapos God hem hapi long hem, letem God nao sevem hem,” hem nating hard for Jehovah sevem Jesus lo datfala taem. (Matt. 27:42, 43) Bat if God duim datwan, bae no eniwan for peim ransom and iumi bae no garem eni hope. So Jehovah letem Son blo hem for gohed safa go kasem taem hem dae.
8. Hao, taem Jehovah lukim Son blo hem safa hem feelim pain tu? Explainim. (Lukim tu piksa.)
8 Nomata God hem Olmaeti, iumi shud no tingse hem no garem feeling. Jehovah creatim iumi lo image blo hem, and hem creatim iumi for garem feeling, so datwan minim hem tu garem feeling. Bible storyim hao hem savve “feel nogud” and “barava sorre.” (Ps. 78:40, 41) Tingim tu, experience blo Abraham and Isaac. Remember hao Jehovah komandim Abraham for sakrifaesim only son blo hem. (Gen. 22:9-12; Heb. 11:17-19) Imaginim wat nao feeling blo Abraham taem hem redi for killim dae Isaac witim naef. Then tingim bigfala pain wea Jehovah feelim taem hem lukim olketa man cruel and torturem son blo hem gogo hem dae!—Lukim lo jw.org datfala video Garem Sem Faith Olsem Olketa—Abraham, Part 2.
9. Hao nao Rome 8:32, 38, 39, helpem iu for understandim bigfala love blo Jehovah for iu and olketa brata and sista?
9 Ransom teachim iumi dat no eni klos relative or best fren blo iumi, hem lovem iumi olsem Jehovah. (Readim Rome 8:32, 38, 39.) Iumi sure Jehovah lovem iumi winim hao iumi lovem iumiseleva. Hao, iu laek for laef olowe? Jehovah laekem iu for kasem datwan winim hao iuseleva laekem. Hao, iu laek for kasem forgiveness for olketa sin blo iu?

Ransom hem barava spesol samting wea showimaot love blo God. And lo niu world, bae iumi lanem staka samting moa abaotem love blo Jehovah.—Eccl. 3:11.
WAT RANSOM TEACHIM IUMI ABAOTEM JESUS
10. (a) Why nao Jesus wari abaotem dae blo hem? (b) Hao nao Jesus barava kliarem nem blo Jehovah? (Lukim tu box “ Wei wea Jesus Faithful Hem Kliarem Nem blo Jehovah.”)
10 Jesus barava kea abaotem reputation blo Dadi blo hem. (John 14:31) Jesus barava sorre tumas taem hem tingim hao dae blo hem bae affectim nem blo Dadi blo hem, bikos pipol bae accusim hem and sei hem tok spoelem nem blo God and no loyal. Dastawe hem prea olsem: “Dadi bilong mi, sapos hem fitim, plis no mekem mi drink long disfala kap.” (Matt. 26:39) Taem Jesus gohed faithful lo Jehovah go kasem taem hem dae, datwan barava kliarem nem blo Dadi blo hem from eni blame.
11. Wat nao Jesus duim wea showim hem garem bigfala love for pipol? (John 13:1)
11 Datfala ransom teachim iumi tu abaotem bigfala love blo Jesus for pipol, especially for olketa disaepol blo hem. (Prov. 8:31; readim John 13:1.) For example, Jesus savve samfala samting lo ministry blo hem lo earth bae hem barava challenging, especially hao hem bae safa and dae. Nomata olsem, hem no letem datwan for affectim hem taem hem duim assignment blo hem lo earth. Instead, Jesus putim full heart blo hem lo preaching waka, and for teachim and helpem olketa narawan. Nomata lo day wea hem bae dae, Jesus willing for iusim taem blo hem for wasim feet blo olketa aposol, and encouragem and comfortim olketa. (John 13:12-15) Then nomata taem hem hange lo post, Jesus iusim datfala chance for givim hope lo wanfala criminal wea hange saed lo hem and talem John for lukaftarem mami blo hem. (Luke 23:42, 43; John 19:26, 27) Bigfala love blo Jesus showaot no lo dae blo hem nomoa, bat lo evri samting wea hem duim taem hem stap lo earth.
