Anamuphunzitsanso mmene angapezere zofunika pa moyo wake komanso mmene angasamalirire dziko ndi zinyama.

Komanso akanangoisiya nkhaniyi ndiye kuti sakanakhalanso Mulungu wodalirika. Koma Yehova ndi wokhulupirika ndipo saphwanya mfundo zake.

Kungoyambira nthawi imene Satana anachititsa kuti Adamu ndi Hava achimwe, iye sanasiyebe kusokoneza anthu.—Yoh. 8:44.

(Mat. 20:28) Dipoli ndi limene linatsegula njira yoti cholinga choyambirira cha Mulungu chidzakwaniritsidwe. (2 Akor. 1:19, 20) Dipo limathandiza kuti anthu onse okhulupirika adzapeze moyo wosatha.
