1. Dɛn na ɔsomafo Yohane hyɛ yɛn nkuran sɛ yɛnnwene ho, na adɛn ntia?
ƆSOMAFO Yohane hyɛɛ yɛn nkuran sɛ yɛnnwene ɔdɔ kɛse a Yehowa ada no adi akyerɛ yɛn no ho. Yɛkenkan wɔ 1 Yohane 3:1 sɛ: “Monhwɛ ɔdɔ ko a Agya no de adom yɛn!” Sɛ yɛdwendwene sɛnea Yehowa dɔ yɛn ne sɛnea ɔda ne dɔ adi kyerɛ yɛn no ho a, ɛma yɛbɛn no na yɛdɔ no kɛse mpo.
2. Adɛn nti na ɛyɛ den ma ebinom sɛ wɔbɛhu sɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ wɔn?
2 Awerɛhosɛm ne sɛ ebinom nhu nea enti a Onyankopɔn bɛtumi adɔ wɔn. Wɔn adwene yɛ wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn nnwene nnipa ho. Ebia wɔsusu sɛ ade a Onyankopɔn yɛ ara ne sɛ ɔhyehyɛ mmara, na ɔtwe wɔn a wɔntie no no aso. Atoro nkyerɛkyerɛ ama ebinom anya adwene sɛ Onyankopɔn tirim yɛ den, na yɛrentumi nnɔ no. Ebinom nso te nka sɛ nea nnipa bɛyɛ biara Onyankopɔn dɔ wɔn. Yohane 3:16; 1 Yohane 4:8) Nanso esiane nneɛma a woafa mu wɔ asetenam nti, ebia ɛbɛtumi ayɛ den ama wo sɛ wobɛhu sɛnea Yehowa dɔ wo no.
Nanso wo deɛ, Bible a woasua no aboa wo ama woahu Yehowa ho nokwasɛm. Wonim sɛ ɔdɔ yɛ Yehowa su a ɛsen ne su a aka nyinaa, na ɔde ne Ba no mae sɛ agyede maa wo. (3. Dɛn na ɛbɛboa yɛn ma yɛahu sɛnea Yehowa dɔ yɛn?
3 Nea ɛbɛma yɛahu sɛnea Yehowa dɔ yɛn no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛdi kan hu sɛ Yehowa na ɔbɔɔ yɛn. Ɔno na ɔmaa yɛn nkwa. (Kenkan Dwom 100:3-5.) Ɛno nti na Bible ka sɛ onipa a ɔdi kan no yɛ “Onyankopɔn ba” no. (Luka 3:38) Yesu nso kyerɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmfrɛ Yehowa sɛ “yɛn Agya a wowɔ soro.” (Mateo 6:9) Enti Yehowa ne yɛn Agya, na ɔdɔ yɛn sɛnea agya pa biara dɔ ne mma no.
4. (a) Yehowa yɛ Agya bɛn? (b) Dɛn na yɛbɛsusu ho wɔ adesua yi ne nea ɛdi hɔ no mu?
4 Ɛyɛ den ma ebinom sɛ wɔbɛhu sɛ wɔn papa dɔ wɔn. Ebia wɔn papanom yɛɛ wɔn ayayade wɔ wɔn mmofraase, enti sɛ wɔkae a ɛyɛ wɔn yaw. Yehowa renyɛ ne mma saa da. Agya a ɔsen biara a yɛbɛtumi anya ne Yehowa. (Dwom 27:10) Ɔdɔ yɛn paa, na ɔhwɛ yɛn wɔ akwan pii so. Dodow a yɛhu sɛ Yehowa dɔ yɛn no, dodow no ara na yɛbɛdɔ no. (Yakobo 4:8) Yɛbɛhwɛ nneɛma nnan a Yehowa ayɛ a ɛma yɛhu sɛ ɔdɔ yɛn wɔ adesua yi mu. Adesua a ɛdi hɔ no mu nso, yɛbɛhu nneɛma nnan a yɛbɛtumi ayɛ de akyerɛ sɛ yɛdɔ no.

Enti ɔkaa “Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛɛ wiase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa no” ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn na “ɔma nnipa nyinaa nkwa ne home ne nneɛma nyinaa,” na “ɛnam ne so na yɛwɔ nkwa na yɛkeka yɛn ho na yɛwɔ hɔ.” (Asomafoɔ Nnwuma 17:24, 25, 28) Yehowa na ɔma yɛn biribiara a yɛhia a ɛbɛma yɛatena nkwa mu na yɛanya anigye wɔ asetena mu.

6 Yehowa ama yɛn fie a ɛyɛ fɛ. (Dwom 115:15, 16) Asase yɛ soronko wɔ okyinnsoromma a ɔbɔe nyinaa mu. Nyansahufo akɔ wim akɔhu okyinnsoromma pii nanso wɔnnya nhuu okyinnsoromma biara a nneɛma a ɛbɛtumi ama nnipa atena nkwa mu wɔ so.

(Yesaia 45:18) Sɛ yɛhwɛ fie fɛfɛ a yɛn Agya Yehowa de ama yɛn no a, yɛhu paa sɛ ɔdɔ yɛn ampa.—Kenkan Hiob 38:4, 7; Dwom 8:3-5.

Momma yɛnkae sɛ, Yesu kaa sɛ sɛ yɛbɛn yɛn Agya Yehowa a, yɛn ani bɛgye. (Mateo 5:3) Yehowa na ɔma yɛn ‘adeɛ nyinaa ma yɛn ani gye.’ Yɛhu pefee sɛ Yehowa yam ye paa, na ɔdɔ yɛn ankasa.—1 Timoteo 6:17; Dwom 145:16.

Bere a yɛabɛhu Yehowa su a ɛyɛ fɛ no, ɛma yɛbɛn no kɛse.

12. Dɛn na ɛma yɛhu sɛ afotu ne akwankyerɛ a Yehowa de maa Kain ne Baruk no kyerɛ sɛ ɔdɔ wɔn?
12 Bere a Yehowa huu sɛ Kain pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ adebɔne bi no, ɔyɛe sɛ ɔbɛboa Kain. Enti Yehowa bisaa Kain sɛ: “Ɛdeɛn na ama wo bo afu saa, na adɛn nti na woakunkum w’anim yi? Sɛ wosakra yɛ papa a, w’anim remma nyam anaa?” (Genesis 4:6, 7) Kain antie Yehowa afotu, na ɔhuu amane. (Genesis 4:11-13) Bere foforo nso, Yehowa huu sɛ adwemmɔne bi a Baruk anya no ama wabrɛ na n’abam abu. Enti Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Baruk sɛ adwene a wanya no nyɛ papa, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsakra n’adwene.

(Hebrifoɔ 12:6) Sɛ yɛkenkan Bible a, ɛma yɛhu asomfo anokwafo a Yehowa atete wɔn ma wɔayɛ nnipa papa. Sɛ yɛhwɛ Yosef, Mose, ne Dawid sɛɛ a, yɛhu sɛ wɔfaa mmere a emu yɛ den paa mu.

Sɛ yɛkenkan sɛnea Yehowa boaa ne nkurɔfo na ɔtetee wɔn ho nsɛm wɔ Bible mu a, yɛhu sɛ Yehowa dɔ yɛn ankasa.—Kenkan Mmebusɛm 3:11, 12.
14. Sɛ yɛyɛ ade bɔne bi a, dɛn na Yehowa yɛ de kyerɛ sɛ ɔdɔ yɛn?
14 Sɛ yɛyɛ ade bɔne mpo a, Yehowa kɔ so da ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ yɛn. Sɛ yɛgye ne ntenesoɔ tom na yɛsakra yɛn adwene a, ‘ɔde bɛfiri yɛn aboro so.’ (Yesaia 55:7) Dɛn na wei kyerɛ? Asɛm a Dawid ka faa Yehowa fafiri ho no ma yɛhu sɛ Yehowa yɛ mmɔborɔhunu Agya. Dawid kaa sɛ: “Ɔno na ɔde wo mfomsoɔ nyinaa kyɛ woɔ, na ɔyi wo haw nyinaa firi hɔ. Ɔno na ɔgye wo nkwa firi amena mu, na ɔde adɔeɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotire. Sɛdeɛ apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ ntam ware no, saa na wama yɛne yɛn mmarato ntam aware.” (Dwom 103:3, 4, 12) Yehowa nam akwan pii so na ɔtene yɛn so na ɔkyerɛ yɛn kwan. Sɛ wohu sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ nsakrae bi a, woyɛ no ntɛm anaa? Kae bere nyinaa sɛ esiane sɛ Yehowa dɔ yɛn nti na ɔtene yɛn so.—Dwom 30:5.

Odwontofo no ka Yehowa ho asɛm sɛ: “Ɔwɛn n’anokwafoɔ kra; ɔgye wɔn firi nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nsam.” (Dwom 97:10) Susu wei ho hwɛ: Sɛ wohu sɛ biribi rebɛtɔ w’ani a, woyɛ ntɛm bɔ w’ani ho ban efisɛ ɛsom bo ma wo. Saa ara na esiane sɛ Yehowa asomfo som bo ma no nti, ɔyɛ ntɛm bɔ wɔn ho ban.—Kenkan Sakaria 2:8.

16 Yehowa afa n’abɔfo so abɔ ne nkurɔfo ho ban fi tete abɛsi nnɛ. (Dwom 91:11) Anadwo baako pɛ ɔbɔfo baako kunkum Asiriafo 185,000 gyee Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo. (2 Ahemfo 19:35) Asomafo no bere so no, abɔfo yii Petro, Paulo, ne afoforo fii afiase. (Asomafoɔ Nnwuma 5:18-20; 12:6-11) Nnansa yi, ɔko bi a ɛyɛ hu sii Afrika man bi mu.
