U-Adamu no-Eva abazange bamlalele uJehova, ngakho wabaxosha ensimini. Ipharadesi lalahleka futhi akukho muntu oye wakwazi ukulibuyisela. IBhayibheli lithi: “Umhlaba ngokwawo unikelwé esandleni somubi.”—Jobe 9:24.—Funda uGenesise 3:23, 24.
Ingabe uJehova uyilahlile injongo yakhe yasekuqaleni ngesintu? Cha! Unawo wonke amandla. Akehlulwa yilutho. (Isaya 45:18) Uyosibuyisela isintu esimweni ayesihlosile.—Funda iHubo 37:11, 34.

Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bayosinda embubhisweni ngoba uJesu uyobaqondisa futhi abavikele. Bayothola ukuphila okuphakade ePharadesi emhlabeni.—Funda isAmbulo 20:1-3; 21:3, 4.
4. Kuyophela nini ukuhlupheka?
UNkulunkulu uyobuqeda nini ububi emhlabeni? UJesu wasinika “isibonakaliso” esasiyobonisa ukuthi ukuphela kusondele. Izinto ezenzeka emhlabeni namuhla zisongela ukuphila komuntu futhi zibonisa ukuthi siphila ‘esiphelweni sesimiso sezinto.’—Funda uMathewu 24:3, 7-14, 21, 22.
Phakathi nokubusa kukaJesu kweminyaka eyinkulungwane, ebusa phezu komhlaba esezulwini, uyoqeda konke ukuhlupheka. (Isaya 9:6, 7; 11:9) Ngaphandle kokukhonza njengeNkosi, uJesu uyoba uMpristi Ophakeme asule zonke izono zabantu abathanda uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, ngoJesu, uNkulunkulu uyoqeda ukugula, ukuguga nokufa.—Funda u-Isaya 25:8; 33:24.

Namuhla, uJehova wenza izigidi zabantu zilungele ukuphila ePharadesi elizayo emhlabeni. (Zefaniya 2:3) EmaHholo OMbuso oFakazi BakaJehova, abantu bafunda ukuba amadoda nobaba abangcono nokuba amakhosikazi nomama abangcono. Izingane nabazali bakhonza ndawonye futhi bafunde ukuthi izindaba ezinhle zingabazuzisa kanjani.—Funda uMika 4:1-4.
