Ayamye a ɔsɛmpatrɛwfo a n’ani afi no daa no adi no, aberante no werɛ remfi da.

Nokwasɛm ni, ayamye tumi ka nnipa koma, na ɛtɔ da bi a, etumi ka koma no mpo sen asɛm a yɛde ano ka.
Ɛyɛ Suban a Ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Ho
Yefi awosu mu tumi kyerɛ ayamye kyerɛ yɛn abusuafo, efisɛ ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yɛbɛdɔ obi a ɔbɛn yɛn. Nanso ayamye yɛ su a efi Onyankopɔn. Yesu kae sɛ nnipa a wɔdɔ ne soro Agya no, ɛnyɛ wɔn nkutoo na Agya no nso dɔ wɔn, na mmom ɔdɔ “bonniayɛfo” nso. Yesu hyɛɛ n’akyidifo nkuran sɛ wonsuasua Onyankopɔn. Ɔkae sɛ: “Sɛnea mo Agya a ɔwɔ soro no yɛ pɛ no, mo nso monyɛ pɛ saa ara.”—Luka 6:35; Mateo 5:48; Exodus 34:6.
Wɔbɔɔ nnipa wɔ Onyankopɔn suban so, enti nnipa betumi akyerɛ ayamye. (Genesis 1:27) Eyi kyerɛ sɛ yebetumi asuasua Onyankopɔn na yɛakyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ nnipa a wɔnyɛ yɛn abusuafo nso. Bible ka sɛ ayamye yɛ Onyankopɔn honhom kronkron anaa n’adeyɛ tumi aba no fã a ɛho hia paa. (Galatifo 5:22) Enti sɛ obi sua Ɔbɔadeɛ Nyankopɔn no ho ade, na ɔbɛn no a, obetumi anya saa su no bi.
Esiane sɛ yefi awosu mu wɔ ayamye na ɛho hia Onyankopɔn nti, ntease wom sɛ Onyankopɔn se ‘yɛne yɛn ho nni wɔ ayamye so.’ (Efesofo 4:32) Ɔkae yɛn nso sɛ: “Mommma mo werɛ mmfi ahɔhoyɛ.”—Hebrifo 13:2.
Ɛnnɛ, nnipa a wonni ayamye ne bonniayɛfo dɔɔso paa. So yebetumi akyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ nnipa a wɔbɛn yɛn ne ahɔho? Dɛn na ɛbɛboa yɛn ma yɛatumi ayɛ saa? Dɛn nti koraa na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛma ayamye ho hia yɛn saa?
Ɛho Hia Onyankopɔn
Bere a ɔsomafo Paulo kae sɛ yɛnkyerɛ ayamye nkyerɛ ahɔho no, ɔtoaa so kae sɛ: “Ebinom nam so gyee abɔfo a wɔanhu.” Fa no sɛ woanya hokwan sɛ wobɛsom abɔfo ahɔho, anka w’ani rennye anaa? Paulo de, ɔkae sɛ, wogyee abɔfo a “wɔanhu.” Sɛ yɛbɛka a, sɛ yɛde yɛ yɛn su sɛ yɛbɛkyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ afoforo ne ahɔho anaa nnipa a yennim wɔn a, yebetumi anya akatua a yɛnhwɛ kwan.
Asɛm a Paulo kae no, sɛ wohwɛ Bible ahorow bi mu a, wubehu sɛ wɔtwe adwene kɔ Abraham ne Lot asɛm a ɛwɔ Genesis ti 18 ne 19 no so. Sɛ yɛkenkan nsɛm abien no nyinaa a, yehu sɛ abɔfo a wohuu wɔn no, na wɔn nyinaa de nsɛm a ɛho hia na ɛnam. Abraham de, abɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛma ne bɔhyɛ a ɛne sɛ Abraham bɛwo ɔbabarima no aba mu. Lot nso, na abɔfo no rebegye no afi ɔsɛe a ɛbɛba Sodom ne Gomora so no mu.—Genesis 18:1-10; 19:1-3, 15-17.
Sɛ wokenkan kyerɛw nsɛm a ɛwɔ soro hɔ no a, wubehu sɛ na ɛyɛ Abraham ne Lot su sɛ wɔbɛkyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ nnipa a wɔretwam a wonnim wɔn. Israelfo bere so no, na ɛyɛ amammerɛ ne obiara asɛde sɛ ɔbɛkyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ nnamfo, abusuafo ne ahɔho a wɔretwam. Ná Mose Mmara no mpo hwehwɛ sɛ Israelfo no bɛma ahɔho a wɔte wɔn mu no asɛm ahia wɔn. (Deuteronomium 10:17-19) Abraham ne Lot mpo de, wɔyɛ boroo nea akyiri yi mmara no kae sɛ Israelfo no nyɛ no so. Wɔyɛɛ nea wobetumi biara sɛ wɔbɛkyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ ahɔho, na wohyiraa wɔn nso.
Abraham ayamye no nti wohyiraa no ma onyaa ɔbabarima, na yɛn nso yɛanya nhyira no bi. Ɔkwan bɛn so? Abraham ne ne ba Isak adi dwuma titiriw paa ma Onyankopɔn atirimpɔw aba mu. Wɔn na wɔde wɔn kyekyee abusua a Yesu, Mesia no fi mu bae no. Nsiesie a Onyankopɔn ayɛ sɛ ɔnam ne mmɔborɔhunu ne n’adom so begye nnipa nkwa no, Abraham ne Isak nokwaredi no yɛɛ ho mfonini.—Genesis 22:1-18; Mateo 1:1, 2; Yohane 3:16.
Saa nsɛm yi ma yehu nea Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ fi nnipa a ɔdɔ wɔn no nkyɛn, na ɛma yehu sɛ ayamye ho hia no paa. Ɛnyɛ su a obi pɛ a na ɔda no adi, na mmom ɛyɛ biribi a ɛho hia Onyankopɔn paa.
Yɛda Ayamye Adi a, Ɛma Yehu Onyankopɔn Yiye
Bible ka sɛ yɛn mmere yi mu no, nnipa pii bɛyɛ “bonniayɛfo, wɔn a wonni nokware, wɔn a wonni tema.” (2 Timoteo 3:1-3) Ɛnyɛ dɛn ara a, wobɛtaa ahyia nnipa a wɔwɔ saa subammɔne no bi. Nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛkyerɛ ayamye kyerɛ nnipa foforo. Wɔka kyerɛ Kristofo sɛ: “Mommfa bɔne nntua obiara bɔne so ka. Munnwen nneɛma a ɛyɛ fɛ wɔ nnipa nyinaa ani so.”—Romafo 12:17.
Yebetumi ayere yɛn ho denneennen akyerɛ ayamye akyerɛ afoforo. Bible ka sɛ: “Obiara a ɔwɔ ɔdɔ no . . . onya Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ;” ɔkwan biako a yɛfa so kyerɛ sɛ yɛdɔ afoforo ne sɛ yɛbɛda ayamye adi akyerɛ wɔn. (1 Yohane 4:7; 1 Korintofo 13:4) Enti sɛ yɛkyerɛ ayamye kyerɛ yɛn yɔnko nnipa a, yehu Onyankopɔn yiye, na ɛno ma yɛn ani gye paa. Yesu kae wɔ ne Bepɔw so Asɛnka no mu sɛ: “Anigye ne ayamyefo, efisɛ wɔbɛda ayamye adi akyerɛ wɔn. Anigye ne wɔn a wɔn komam tew, efisɛ wobehu Onyankopɔn.”—Mateo 5:7, 8, Young’s Literal Translation.
