1. Nei zvakakodzera kuti Jehovha ati zvinhu zvese ndezvake? (Ona mufananidzo uri panotangira nyaya ino.)

ZVINHU zvese ndezvaJehovha. “Matenga, iwo matenga okumatengatenga, nyika nezvose zviri mairi ndezvaJehovha.” (Dheut. 10:14; Zvak. 4:11) Saka vanhu vese ndevaJehovha nekuti ndiye akavasika. (Pis. 100:3) Asi kubvira kare, Mwari aisarudza vamwe kuti vave vanhu vake vanokosha.

(Hos. 2:23) Uprofita hwaHosiya hwakazadzika Jehovha paakasarudza vamwe vanhu vakanga vasiri vaJudha kuti vazotongawo pamwe chete naKristu. (Mab. 10:45; VaR. 9:23-26) Kuna Jehovha “rudzi rutsvene” urwu “vanhu vake chaivo,” vanhu vakazodzwa nemweya mutsvene uye vakasarudzwa kuti vaende kudenga. (1 Pet. 2:9, 10) Zvakadini nevaKristu vakawanda vakatendeka vane tariro yekurarama pasi pano? Jehovha anovatiwo “vanhu” vake uye ‘vanhu vaakasarudza.’​—Isa. 65:22.

⁴ Tinoratidza kuti tinoonga Jehovha nekuzvitsaurira kwaari nemwoyo wese. Patinobhabhatidzwa mumvura, tinoratidza pachena kuti tiri vaJehovha uye kuti tinoda kuzviisa pasi pake.

Kwaivawo neinzwi rakabva kumatenga rakati: ‘Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, anodiwa, wandafarira.’” (Mat. 3:16, 17) Jesu akagara ari waJehovha. Asi Mwari akafara kuona Mwanakomana wake achiratidza chido chekushumira iye chete. Saizvozvowo, Jehovha anofara patinozvitsaurira, uye achatikomborera.​—Pis. 149:4.

Asi Jehovha achafara zvikuru kana ukabvuma kuti ave Mutongi wako nekutsaurira upenyu hwako kwaari uye nekuita kuda kwake.

Ndinotsvaga here mikana yekuudza vamwe kuti ndiri mumwe weZvapupu zvaJehovha?’ Jehovha anorwadziwa chaizvo kana akatisarudza kuti tive vanhu vake isu tozeza  kuudza vamwe kuti tiri vanhu vake.​—Pis. 119:46; verenga Mako 8:38.
