Tete Israel hene Dawid too dwom kamfoo Yehowa sɛ: “Nea mepɛ ne sɛ mɛyɛ w’apɛde, O me Nyankopɔn, na wo mmara wɔ me koma mu.” (Dw. 40:8) Dawid faa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ pii mu, nanso nea na ɛda ne koma so ne sɛ ɔbɛyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde. Ɛnyɛ Dawid nkutoo na na n’ani gye ho sɛ ɔbɛsom nokware Nyankopɔn no.
Ɔsomafo Paulo twee asɛm a ɛwɔ Dwom 40:8 kaa Mesia anaa Kristo no ho asɛm. Ɔkyerɛw sɛ: “Bere a ɔba wiase no, ɔka sɛ: ‘“Afɔre ne ayɛyɛde de woampɛ, na mmom wusiesiee nipadua maa me. Ɔhyew afɔre ne bɔne ho afɔre ansɔ w’ani.” Ɛnna mekae sɛ, “Hwɛ! Maba (wɔakyerɛw me ho asɛm wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu) sɛ merebɛyɛ w’apɛde, O Onyankopɔn.”’”—Heb. 10:5-7.
Bere a Yesu wɔ asase so no, na n’ani gye Yehowa abɔde ho, na sɛ ɔne ne nnamfo hyiam bom didi a, ne ho bae no. (Mat. 6:26-29; Yoh. 2:1, 2; 12:1, 2) Nanso ade a na ɛda ne koma so paa ne sɛ ɔbɛyɛ ne soro Agya no apɛde. Yesu kae sɛ: “M’aduan ne sɛ mɛyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde na mawie n’adwuma.” (Yoh. 4:34; 6:38) Yesu boaa n’asuafo no ma wohuu nea ɛma anigye ankasa. Enti wɔde anigye ne ahokeka kaa Ahenni ho asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ afoforo.—Luka 10:1, 8, 9, 17.

Na hwɛ! me ne mo wɔ hɔ nna nyinaa de kosi wiase nhyehyɛe no awiei.” (Mat. 28:19, 20) Eyi kyerɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yewurawura baabiara kɔka asɛm no kyerɛ nkurɔfo, na yɛsan kɔsra wɔn a wɔn ani gye ho na yɛne wɔn yɛ Bible adesua.

Ɛma yehu biribi foforo nso: Ɛnsɛ sɛ yesuro sɛ yɛne afoforo besusuw nsɛm te sɛ Baasakoro anaa Ɔbonsam gya (anaa hellgya) ho.

Mmebusɛm 18:13 ka sɛ: “Sɛ obi bua asɛm ansa na wate a, ɛyɛ nkwaseasɛm ne animguase ma no.” Enti sɛ yɛne obi rebɔ Bible mu nkɔmmɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ yedi kan hu nea ogye di na yɛahu baabi a yɛde asɛm no bɛfa. Anyɛ saa a yɛbɛsɛe bere de abɔ atoro nkyerɛkyerɛ bi agu, nanso wobɛhwɛ no na ɔno ara mpo nnye nni.—1 Kor. 9:26.

Anhwɛ a, onya kaa saa ara pɛ na yɛanya adwene sɛ adannandi nkyerɛkyerɛ na adaadaa no. (Dw. 10:4) Nanso nea ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ no nsow ne sɛ, sɛ ebinom hwɛ ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ a wɔrefa mu ne nea afoforo nso refa mu a, nea wodwen kosi ara ne sɛ Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ.

Enti sɛ obi ka sɛ Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ a, yebetumi abisa no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, daa nyinaa saa na wugye di?” Sɛ ɔka sɛ dabi a, yebetumi abisa no nea ɛma onyaa adwene sɛ Onyankopɔn nni hɔ.

(Hab. 1:2, 3) Ɛno akyi no yebetumi akyerɛ no nea enti a yegye di sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ hɔ. Sɛ yenya ne ho abotare saa a, ebia ɛbɛka no ma wasua pii.*
7. Dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛatu mpɔn wɔ asɛnka mu?
7 Afei momma yɛnhwɛ sɛnea yɛne afoforo besusuw Kyerɛwnsɛm no ho. Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ Bible ne ade titiriw a yɛde yɛ asɛnka adwuma no. Esiesie yɛn yiye ma yetumi yɛ “adwuma pa biara.” (2 Tim. 3:16, 17) Ɛnyɛ kyerɛwsɛm dodow a yɛbɛkan wɔ asɛnka mu na ɛbɛkyerɛ sɛ yetu mpɔn, na mmom ɔkwan a yɛbɛfa so ne obi asusuw kyerɛwsɛm no ho na yɛakyerɛkyerɛ mu ne asɛm no. (Monkenkan Asomafo Nnwuma 17:2, 3.) Ma yɛmfa nhwɛso mmiɛnsa nkyerɛ asɛm no mu.
8, 9. (a) Sɛ yehyia obi a ogye di sɛ Yesu ne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ a, ɔkwan baako bɛn na yebetumi afa so ne no asusuw nsɛm ho? (b) Ɔkwan bɛn na w’ankasa woafa so ne obi asusuw asɛnkoro yi ara ho?
8 Nhwɛso 1: Yɛahyia obi wɔ asɛnka mu a ogye di sɛ Yesu ne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ. Kyerɛw nsɛm bɛn na yɛne no besusuw ho? Yebetumi ama wakan Yohane 6:38. Yesu kae wɔ hɔ sɛ: “Mifi soro aba sɛ merebɛyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde, ɛnyɛ m’ankasa m’apɛde.” Sɛ ɔkenkan wie a, yebetumi abisa no sɛ: “Sɛ Yesu no ara ne Onyankopɔn a, ɛnde hena na ɔsomaa no fii soro? Wunnye nni sɛ onii no bɛyɛ kɛse asen Yesu? Ɔpanyin na ɔsoma abofra, meboa?”
9 Yebetumi nso ne no akenkan Filipifo 2:9. Ɔsomafo Paulo kaa nea Onyankopɔn yɛe bere a Yesu wui na onyanee no. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka sɛ Onyankopɔn pagyaw Yesu maa no “gyinabea a ɛkorɔn, na ɔdom maa no din a ɛkyɛn edin biara.” Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn aboa onii no ma wasusuw kyerɛwsɛm yi ho? Yebetumi aka sɛ: “Yɛhwɛ w’asɛm yi a, nea ɛkyerɛ ne sɛ ansa na Yesu rewu no na ɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ. Nanso kyerɛwsɛm a yɛakenkan yi ka sɛ Yesu wusɔre akyi no, Onyankopɔn pagyaw no maa no gyinabea a ɛkorɔn. Ɛnde, seesei a Yesu abenya gyinabea a ɛkorɔn yi, wunnye nni sɛ ɛno bɛma wayɛ kɛse asen Onyankopɔn? Nanso ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na obi atumi ayɛ kɛse asen Onyankopɔn?” Sɛ onii no bu Onyankopɔn Asɛm na ɔpɛ sɛ ohu emu nokwasɛm a, nkɔmmɔbɔ a ɛte saa bɛka no ma wasua pii.—Aso. 17:11.
10. (a) Sɛ yehyia obi a ogye di sɛ wɔbɛyɛ nnipa ayayade wɔ Ɔbonsam gya mu a, yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ne no asusuw asɛm no ho? (b) Sɛ wo ne obi abɔ nkɔmmɔ a ɛte saa pɛn a, woyɛɛ no sɛn?
10 Nhwɛso 2: Yɛahyia obi a ogye di denneennen sɛ wɔbɛyɛ abɔnefo ayayade daa wɔ Ɔbonsam gya mu. Ebia nea enti a ogye di saa ne sɛ, ɔpɛ sɛ abɔnefo nya wɔn bɔne so akatua. Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ne obi a ɔte saa asusuw nsɛm ho? Nea edi kan, yebetumi ama no awerɛhyem sɛ abɔnefo benya asotwe. (2 Tes. 1:9) Afei yebetumi ama wakenkan Genesis 2:16, 17. Ɛhɔ kyerɛ sɛ bɔne akatua ne owuo. Afei yebetumi ama wahu sɛ Adam bɔne no kaa n’asefo nyinaa. (Rom. 5:12) Nanso Onyankopɔn anka hellgya anaa Ɔbonsam gya biara ho asɛm. Afei yebetumi asan akan Genesis 3:19. Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Adam sɛ ne bɔne nti ‘ɔbɛsan akɔ dɔte mu.’ Ɛno akyi no, yebebisa no sɛ: “Sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛtwe Adam ne Hawa aso wɔ gya mu a, wugye di sɛ anka ɛbɛyɛ papa sɛ ɔde besuma wɔn na mmom waka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔbɛsan akɔ dɔte mu?” Sɛ onipa no repɛ biribi ahu a, asɛmmisa yi bɛma wadwen asɛm no ho akɔ akyiri.
11. (a) Sɛ obi ka sɛ nnipa pa nyinaa kɔ soro a, ɔkwan baako bɛn na yɛbɛfa so ne no asusuw nsɛm ho? (b) Sɛ wo ne obi abɔ nkɔmmɔ a ɛte saa pɛn a, kyerɛɛ sɛnea woyɛɛ no?
11 Nhwɛso 3: Yɛahyia obi a ogye di sɛ nnipa pa nyinaa kɔ soro. Gyidi a ɛte saa betumi aka ntease a ɔwɔ wɔ Bible mu nsɛm bi ho. Yɛmfa no sɛ yɛne no akenkan Adiyisɛm 21:4. (Monkenkan.) Ebia ɔbɛka sɛ saa asɛm no fa ɔsoro asetena ho. Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ne no asusuw ho? Ɛho nhia sɛ yɛkenkan kyerɛwsɛm foforo biara, mmom yebetumi anya biribi wɔ Adiyisɛm 21:4 hɔ ara de akyerɛkyerɛ asɛm no mu. Ɛka sɛ “owu nni hɔ bio.” Enti yebetumi abisa no sɛ: “Wugye tom sɛ, sɛ yɛka sɛ biribi nni hɔ bio a, ɛkyerɛ sɛ bere bi na ɛwɔ hɔ?” Ebia ɔbɛka sɛ aane. Sɛ saa a, yebetumi aka sɛ obiara nwui wɔ soro da; asase so ha na nnipa wu. Enti ntease wom sɛ yɛbɛka sɛ Adiyisɛm 21:4 reka nhyira a yebenya wɔ asase so daakye.—Dw. 37:29.
12. Adɛn nti na Yesu de mfatoho dii dwuma?
12 Ade foforo a Yesu de yɛɛ adwuma wɔ asɛnka mu ne mfatoho. (Monkenkan Mateo 13:34, 35.) Mfatoho maa Yesu huu nea ɛwɔ nnipa komam. (Mat. 13:10-15) Afei nso mfatoho maa Yesu nkyerɛkyerɛɛ yɛɛ nkurɔfo dɛ, na na ɛnyɛ den sɛ wɔbɛkae. Ɛnde, sɛ yɛrekyerɛkyerɛ a, yɛbɛyɛ dɛn de mfatoho adi dwuma?
13. Sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛkyerɛ obi sɛ Onyankopɔn korɔn sen Yesu a, dɛn na yebetumi de ayɛ mfatoho?
13 Sɛ yɛka sɛ mfatoho bi yɛ papa a, nea ɛkyerɛ ne sɛ ɛnyɛ den sɛ wobɛte ase. Fa no sɛ wopɛ sɛ woboa obi ma ohu sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛse sen Yesu. Ebia wubetumi de mfatoho adi dwuma. Wubetumi aka sɛ Onyankopɔn ne Yesu nyinaa gye tom sɛ baako yɛ agya ɛnna baako yɛ ɔba. Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yesu sɛ ne Ba, ɛnna Yesu nso frɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ n’Agya. (Luka 3:21, 22; Yoh. 14:28) Afei wubetumi abisa no sɛ: “Sɛ wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ me sɛ obi ne obi yɛ pɛ a, anka wobɛka sɛ wɔte sɛ obi ne ne papa, anaa obi ne ne nua?” Ebia ɔbɛka sɛ wɔte sɛ obi ne ne nua anaa ntafo mpo. Sɛ ɔka saa a, wubetumi aka sɛ ntease wom. Afei bisa no sɛ: “Sɛ me ne wo mpo atumi anya biribi saa de ayɛ mfatoho a, wunnye ntom sɛ anka Yesu, Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo Kɛse no benya mfatoho a ɛte saa? Nanso wanka sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ ne nua na mmom n’Agya. Enti Yesu gye toom sɛ Onyankopɔn korɔn na ɔwɔ tumi sen no.”
14. Mfatoho bɛn na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ntease nnim sɛ obi bɛka sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔ Ɔbonsam paa sɛ ɔnyɛ nkurɔfo ayayade wɔ gya mu?
14 Yɛmfa nhwɛso foforo. Ebinom gye di sɛ Satan na ɔhwɛ ma wɔyɛ nkurɔfo ayayade wɔ Ɔbonsam gya mu.

Yebetumi aka sɛ: “Fa no sɛ wo ba yɛ otuatewfo, na nsɛmmɔne ara na odi. Dɛn na anka wobɛyɛ?” Ebia ɔbɛka sɛ ɔbɛkasa akyerɛ abofra no. Ebia obenya no kasakyerɛ kosi sɛ obegyae bɔne a ɔreyɛ no. (Mmeb. 22:15) Yebetumi abisa no sɛ, “Ɛnde sɛ abofra no sen ne kɔn na wansesa ne suban a, dɛn na wobɛyɛ?” Ebia agya anaa ɛna biara bɛka sɛ ɔbɛtwe abofra no aso.

Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: “Mo nan rensi asase a memaa me nsa so kaa ntam sɛ me ne mo bɛtena so no so, gye Yefune ba Kaleb ne Nun ba Yosua.” Bere a mmarima bi kɔhwɛɛ Bɔhyɛ Asase no, Yosua ne Kaleb nko ara na wɔde asɛmpa bae. (Num. 14:30, 37, 38) Akyiri yi Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa Yosua nsi n’ananmu.

Afei bere a Yeriko hene tee sɛ mmarima no aba kurom hɔ no, ɔsomae sɛ wɔnkɔkyere wɔn, nanso Rahab de wɔn siee ne dan atifi. Rahab ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo mmarima a wɔbɛhwɛɛ kurow no sɛ: ‘Minim sɛ ɔkwan biara so Yehowa de asase yi bɛma mo, na yɛate sɛnea mufi Egypt reba no Yehowa maa Po Kɔkɔɔ no yowee wɔ mo anim ne nea mode yɛɛ Amorifo ahene baanu no.’ Rahab san kae sɛ: “Yehowa mo Nyankopɔn yɛ ɔsoro a ɛwɔ soro ne asase a ɛwɔ fam yi Nyankopɔn.” (Yos. 2:9-11) Rahab de ne ho fam Yehowa ahyehyɛde a na ɛwɔ hɔ saa bere no ho, na bere a Israelfo tow hyɛɛ Yeriko so no, Yehowa gyee Rahab ne ne fiefo nkwa. (Yos. 6:25) Rahab nyaa gyidi a emu yɛ den, na ɔde nidi ne obu maa Yehowa ne ne nkurɔfo.

Nokwarem no, Yehowa ama yɛn ahyɛde sɛ, ‘Mapaw wo sɛ amanaman no hann, na woayɛ nkwagye de akɔpem asase ano.’” (Aso. 13:14, 45-47) Efi asomafo no bere so tɔnn, Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛde no fã a ɛwɔ asase so no de asi n’ani so sɛ ɛbɛma nkurɔfo ahu nea Yehowa ayɛ a ɔde begye nnipa nkwa.

YEHOWA na ɔhyehyɛɛ Kristofo asafo no wɔ asomafo no bere so, na wahwɛ ama nokware som agyina ne nan so wɔ yɛn bere yi so.

Bere mpo a wɔsɛee Yerusalem 70 Y.B. no, ahyehyɛde foforo yi ansɛe, efisɛ na ɛda Yehowa koma so. (Luka 21:20, 21) Nsɛm a esisii wɔ asomafo no bere so no boa yɛn ma yehu biribi fa Yehowa asomfo a wɔwɔ hɔ nnɛ ho. Ɛrenkyɛ Satan wiase yi bɛba awiei, nanso Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛde no bɛtena hɔ.

Ɔkae sɛ: “Ahohiahia kɛse a, efi wiase mfitiase besi mprempren ebi nsii, na ebi nso nsi bio bɛba.” (Mat. 24:3, 21) Yehowa bɛma wiase atumfoɔ asɛe atoro som ahemman anaa “Babilon Kɛse” no.

3 Atoro som sɛe akyi no, Satan ne n’apamfo a wɔwɔ wiase bɛtow ahyɛ Yehowa asomfo so. Bible ka “Gog a ofi Magog asase so” ho asɛm sɛ: “Wobɛba sɛ ahum, te sɛ omununkum abɛkata asase no so, wo ne w’asraafokuw nyinaa ne aman pii a wɔka wo ho.” Yehowa Adansefo mpɛ wɔn ho asɛm na wonni asraafo biara a wɔbɔ wɔn ho ban. Enti atamfo besusuw sɛ wɔanya wɔn awie. Nanso wɔbɛtow twɛdekane anu wɔn ho.—Hes. 38:1, 2, 9-12.

4 Sɛ Satan ne n’apamfo tow hyɛ Yehowa nkurɔfo so a, ɛbɛyɛ te sɛ nea wɔretow ahyɛ Yehowa ankasa so. (Monkenkan Sakaria 2:8.) Dɛn na Yehowa bɛyɛ? Ɔbɛma ne homene so ma wɔahu sɛ ɔno ne Otumfoɔ Pumpuni no. Yɛn soro Agya no rentwentwɛn ne nan ase koraa; obegye yɛn ntɛm! Nokwasɛm ni, “ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ Nyankopɔn da kɛse no mu ko no” bɛsɛe Satan wiase no pasaa. Ɔko yi na Bible frɛ no Harmagedon no.—Adi. 16:14, 16.
5 Yeremia hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ Yehowa ankasa ne amanaman no bɛko wɔ Harmagedon. Ɔkae sɛ: “‘Ɔno na ɔne ɔhonam nyinaa bɛham. Nnebɔneyɛfo de, ɔde wɔn bɛma nkrante,’ Yehowa asɛm ni. Nea asafo Yehowa aka ni, ‘Hwɛ, mmusu befi ɔman so akɔ ɔman so, na ahum kɛse betu afi asase ano nohoa. Na wɔn a Yehowa bekunkum wɔn saa da no begugu hɔ fi asase ano akɔpem asase ano. Wɔrenyɛ wɔn ayi, wɔremmoa wɔn ano, na wɔrensie wɔn nso. Wɔbɛyɛ sɛ sumina wɔ asase ani.’” (Yer. 25:31-33) Harmagedon bɛsɛe wiase bɔne yi pasaa. Satan wiase no befi hɔ, nanso Yehowa ahyehyɛde no fã a ɛwɔ asase so no bɛtena hɔ.
6, 7. (a) Ɛhe na “nnipakuw kɛse no” fi? (b) Nkɔso bɛn na aba nnansa yi?
6 Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛde no renya nkɔso nnɛ efisɛ wɔn a wɔwom no anya Yehowa anim dom. Bible ka sɛ: “Yehowa ani wɔ treneefo so, na wayɛ aso ama wɔn adesrɛ.” (1 Pet. 3:12) Treneefo yi mu bi ne “nnipakuw kɛse” a wobetwa “ahohiahia kɛse no.” (Adi. 7:9, 14) Saa nkurɔfo yi nyɛ nnipakuw bi kɛkɛ, na mmom wɔyɛ “nnipakuw kɛse,” nnipadɔm ankasa. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne saafo yi atwa “ahohiahia kɛse” no! Ɛbɛka wo sɛn?

Ɔkae sɛ: “Wɔbɛka ahenni ho asɛmpa yi wɔ asase so nyinaa de adi amanaman nyinaa adanse; ɛno ansa na awiei no bɛba.” (Mat. 24:14) Eyi ne adwuma titiriw a Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛde no reyɛ nnɛ. Yehowa Adansefo reyɛ asɛnka ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛ adwuma yi wɔ wiase nyinaa, enti nnipa mpempem pii resom Onyankopɔn wɔ “honhom ne nokware mu.” (Yoh. 4:23, 24) Nhwɛso bi ni: Efi 2003 kosi 2012 no, nnipa bɛboro 2,707,000 ahyira wɔn ho so ama Onyankopɔn abɔ asu. Nnipa dodow yi nyinaa bae wɔ mfe du pɛ mu. Seesei Adansefo bɛboro 7,900,000 na wɔwɔ wiase nyinaa, na nnipa mpempem ba wɔn nhyiam ahorow, ɛnkanka Nkaedi no. Ɛnyɛ nnipadɔm na yɛde hoahoa yɛn ho; yɛreka yi koraa ‘Onyankopɔn na ɔma enyin.’ (1 Kor. 3:5-7) Nanso sɛ yehu sɛ nnipakuw kɛse no redɔɔso saa a, na ɛyɛ yɛn dɛ.
8. Dɛn na ama Yehowa ahyehyɛde no renya nkɔso ntɛmntɛm saa?
8 Yehowa ankasa na ɔbɔ n’ahyehyɛde no kyidɔm, enti ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ n’asomfo redɔɔso ntɛmntɛm saa. (Monkenkan Yesaia 43:10-12.) Yesaia hyɛɛ eyi ho nkɔm, na ɔkae sɛ: “Nea ɔyɛ ketewa koraa no bɛdan apem na nea osua adan ɔman kɛse. Me Yehowa, mɛyɛ no ntɛm wɔ ne bere mu.” (Yes. 60:22) Bere bi na nkaefo a wɔasra wɔn no te sɛ “nea ɔyɛ ketewa koraa,” nanso honhom fam Israelfo pii baa Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛde no mu maa wɔn dodow kɔɔ anim. (Gal. 6:16) Nnipakuw kɛse no nso abɛka wɔn ho, na kɔ ara na wɔrekɔ wɔn anim efisɛ Yehowa ahyira n’ahyehyɛde no.
9. Sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yenya daakye nwonwaso a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ ho bɔ no a, dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ?
9 Kristofo a wɔasra wɔn ne nnipakuw kɛse no nyinaa betumi anya daakye nwonwaso bi. Yehowa ankasa na ahyɛ eyi ho bɔ wɔ n’Asɛm mu. Nanso Yehowa hwehwɛ biribi fi yɛn hɔ: Ɛsɛ sɛ yedi n’ahyɛde so. (Yes. 48:17, 18) Yɛnhwɛ Israelfo no sɛɛ. Yehowa de Mose Mmara no maa wɔn sɛ wonni so na ɛmmɔ wɔn ho ban. Mmara no boaa wɔn ma wohuu sɛnea wɔbɛtwe wɔn ho afi ɔbrasɛe ho, sɛnea wɔbɛhwɛ wɔn mmusua na wɔanya nnamfo pa, sɛnea wobedi nokware wɔ wɔn nnwumam, sɛnea wɔne afoforo bɛtena dwoodwoo, ne nea ɛkeka ho. (Ex. 20:14; Lev. 19:18, 35-37; Deut. 6:6-9) Yɛn nso sɛ yedi Onyankopɔn ahyɛde so a, ɛboa yɛn, na n’ahyɛde nso nyɛ den. (Monkenkan 1 Yohane 5:3.) Sɛnea Mmara no bɔɔ Israelfo ho ban no, saa ara na Yehowa Nyankopɔn ahyɛde bɔ yɛn ho ban. Bio, ɛma yɛyɛ “den wɔ gyidi no mu.”—Tito 1:13.

13 Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn ho fam ne ho na yɛne n’ahyehyɛde no bɔ denneennen. Eyi bɛma yɛn gyidi ayɛ den na asi yɛn yiye. Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo sɛ: “Ɛnnɛ mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ wonni mo ho adanse: Mede nkwa ne owu, nhyira ne nnome, asi w’anim; enti fa nkwa na wo ne w’asefo anya nkwa.

Woyɛ saa a, wobɛtena asase a Yehowa kaa w’agyanom Abraham, Isak, ne Yakob ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so.” (Deut. 30:19, 20) Enti sɛ yebenya nkwa a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Yehowa apɛde, yɛdɔ no, yetie no, na yɛde yɛn ho fam ne ho.

Kristofo Som Wɔ Honhom Ne Nokware Mu
“Onyankopɔn yɛ honhom, na wɔn a wɔsɔre no no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɔre no honhom ne nokware mu.”—YOHANE 4:24.
YEHOWA Ba a ɔwoo no koro, Yesu Kristo, maa ɔsom a ɛsɔ ne soro Agya ani mu daa hɔ pefee. Bere a Yesu redi Samariani bea bi adanse a ɛka koma wɔ abura bi a ɛbɛn Sikar kurow no ho no, ɔkae sɛ: “Mosɔre nea munnim; yɛn de, yɛsɔre nea yenim, efisɛ ogye no fi Yudafo mu. Na bere no reba, na adu, sɛ nokware asɔrefo bɛsɔre agya no honhom ne nokware mu; na wɔn a wɔsɔre no saa no nso na agya no rehwehwɛ. Onyankopɔn yɛ honhom, na wɔn a wɔsɔre no no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɔre no honhom ne nokware mu.” (Yohane 4:22-24) Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛte saa nsɛm no ase dɛn?
2 Ná Samariafo no kura nyamesom ho adwene a ɛnteɛ. Kyerɛw Kronkron no mu nhoma anum a edi kan no nkutoo na na wogye tom sɛ efi honhom mu—na wɔnam wɔn ankasa nkyerɛase so frɛɛ no Samariafo Pentateuch.

Nanso, na eyi bɛhwehwɛ sɛ wɔyɛ dɛn?
3 Dɛn na na ɛsɛ sɛ Yudafo, Samariafo, ne afoforo a wɔtraa ase tete no yɛ na ama wɔasɔ Yehowa ani? Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom no “honhom ne nokware mu.” Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ. Ɛwom sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsom a yɛde ma Onyankopɔn no yɛ nea ahokeka anaa nsi wom, na efi koma a ɔdɔ ne gyidi ayɛ no ma mu de, nanso ne titiriw no, honhom mu a yɛbɛsom Onyankopɔn no hwehwɛ sɛ yenya honhom no na yɛma ɛkyerɛ yɛn kwan. Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn Asɛm a yebesua na yɛde adi dwuma no ma yɛn honhom, anaa yɛn adwene, ne ne de hyia. (1 Korintofo 2:8-12) Sɛ yɛn som bɛsɔ Yehowa ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom no nokwarem nso. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛne nea Onyankopɔn Asɛm Bible ka fa ɔno ne n’atirimpɔw ahorow ho no hyia.
Yebetumi Ahu Nokware No
4 Wɔn a wosua nyansapɛ no bi anya adwene sɛ adesamma ntumi nhu nokware turodoo no. Nokwarem no, Swedenni nhoma kyerɛwfo Alf Ahlberg kyerɛwee sɛ: “Nyansapɛ ho nsɛmmisa pii wɔ hɔ a sɛnea ɛte no yentumi nnya ho mmuae pɔtee.” Ɛwom sɛ ebinom ka sɛ nokware a ɛwɔ hɔ no nyɛ nea ewie pɛyɛ de, nanso so ɛte saa ankasa? Na Yesu Kristo nsusuw saa.
5 Yɛmfa no sɛ yɛyɛ nkurɔfo a yɛrehwɛ adeyɛ a edi hɔ yi: Ɛyɛ afe 33 Y.B. mfiase, na Yesu gyina Roma Amrado Pontio Pilato anim. Yesu ka kyerɛ Pilato sɛ: “Eyi nti . . . na mebaa wi yi ase, sɛ merebedi nokware no ho adanse.” Pilato bisa sɛ: “Dɛn ne nokware?” Nanso, wantwɛn amma Yesu anka asɛm foforo.—Yohane 18:36-38.
6 Wɔakyerɛ “nokware” ase sɛ “nneɛma ne nsɛm a esisi ankasa.” (Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary) Nanso, so nokware biara kɛkɛ na Yesu dii ho adanse? Dabi. Na ɔwɔ nokware pɔtee bi wɔ n’adwenem. Ɔde ahyɛde maa n’akyidifo sɛ wɔnka nokware a ɛte saa ho asɛm, efisɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Monkɔyɛ amanaman nyinaa m’asuafo. Mommɔ wɔn asu nhyɛ Agya ne Ɔba ne honhom kronkron din mu, na monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛ wonni nea mahyɛ mo nyinaa so.’ (Mateo 28:19, 20) Ansa na “nneɛma nhyehyɛe no awiei” bɛba no, Yesu nokware asuafo bɛka ‘asɛmpa no ho nokware’ no wɔ wiase nyinaa. (Mateo 24:3; Galatifo 2:14) Wɔbɛyɛ eyi ma Yesu nsɛm no abam: “Wɔbɛka ahenni ho asɛmpa yi wiase nyinaa de adi amanaman nyinaa adanse; ɛno ansa na awiei no bɛba.” (Mateo 24:14) Enti ɛho hia sɛ yehu wɔn a wɔnam Ahenni no ho asɛmpa a wɔka so rekyerɛkyerɛ amanaman nyinaa nokware no.
Sɛnea Yebetumi Asua Nokware No
7 Yehowa ne honhom fam nokware Fibea. Nokwarem no, odwontofo Dawid frɛɛ no ‘Yehowa, nokware Nyankopɔn no.’ (Dwom 31:5; 43:3) Yesu gye toom sɛ N’agya asɛm yɛ nokware, na ɔkae nso sɛ: “Wɔakyerɛw adiyifo no mu sɛ: Wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ nnipa a Onyankopɔn akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn. Obiara a wate afi agya no nkyɛn na wasua no na ɔba me nkyɛn.” (Yohane 6:45; 17:17; Yesaia 54:13) Ɛnde, ɛda adi pefee sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Yehowa, Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfo Kunini no, kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ nokware no. (Yesaia 30:20, 21) Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ nokware no nya “Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ.” (Mmebusɛm 2:5) Na Yehowa fi ɔdɔ mu akyerɛkyerɛ nokware no anaasɛ ɔde ama wɔ akwan horow so.
8 Sɛ nhwɛso no, Onyankopɔn nam abɔfo so na ɛde Mmara no brɛɛ Israelfo no. (Galatifo 3:19) Ɔnam adaeso so hyɛɛ tete agyanom Abraham ne Yakob nhyira ahorow ho bɔ. (Genesis 15:12-16; 28:10-19) Onyankopɔn fi soro mpo kasae, na bere a wɔrebɔ Yesu asu no, wɔtee anigyesɛm yi wɔ asase so mpo: “Oyi ne me dɔba a ɔsɔ m’ani.” (Mateo 3:17) Yɛn ani betumi asɔ nso sɛ Onyankopɔn nam Bible akyerɛwfo a honhom kaa wɔn so de nokware no brɛɛ yɛn. (2 Timoteo 3:16, 17) Ɛnde, yɛnam Onyankopɔn Asɛm sua so betumi anya “nokware gyidi.”—2 Tesalonikafo 2:13.
Nokware no ne Onyankopɔn Ba No
9 Onyankopɔn afa ne Ba, Yesu Kristo, so titiriw ada nokware no adi akyerɛ adesamma. (Hebrifo 1:1-3) Nokwarem no, Yesu kaa nokware no ho asɛm sen nea na onipa foforo biara ayɛ pɛn. (Yohane 7:46) Bere a ɔforo kɔɔ soro akyi mpo no, ɔdaa nokware a efi N’agya hɔ no adi. Sɛ nhwɛso no, ɔsomafo Yohane nsa kaa “Yesu Kristo adiyi a Onyankopɔn de maa no sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne nkoa nea etwa sɛ ɛba ntɛm” no.—Adiyisɛm 1:1-3.
10 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Pontio Pilato sɛ na waba asase so sɛ ɔrebedi nokware no ho adanse. Wɔ Yesu som adwuma no mu no, ɔdaa no adi sɛ nokware a ɛte saa no fa Yehowa tumidi a wɔnam Onyankopɔn Ahenni a Kristo di so Hene no so bɛsan ho no ho. Nanso nokware no ho adanse a na Yesu bedi no hwehwɛɛ pii fii ne hɔ sen asɛnka ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛ no. Yesu maa saa nokware no daa adi denam ɛho dwuma a odii so. Enti, ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛwee sɛ: “Mommma obi mmmu mo atɛn aduan anaa anonne mu, anaa afahyɛ anaa ɔsram foforo anaa home nna fam, na ɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛbɛba no sunsuma nko, na nipadua no ne Kristo de no.”—Kolosefo 2:16, 17.
11 Ɔkwan koro a nokware no nam so daa adi ne nkɔm a wɔhyɛe sɛ wɔbɛwo Yesu wɔ Betlehem no.

Ɛno baa mu bere a Yesu de ne ho maa Onyankopɔn wɔ asubɔ mu na wɔde honhom kronkron sraa no wɔ bere a na wɔahyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ, wɔ afe 29 Y.B. mu no. (Daniel 9:25; Luka 3:1, 21, 22) Yesu nam Ahenni no ho dawurubɔfo a ɔyɛe maa nkurɔfo tee nneɛma ase no so maa nokware no bɛdaa adi kɛse. (Yesaia 9:1, 2, 6, 7; 61:1, 2; Mateo 4:13-17; Luka 4:18-21) Ne wu ne ne wusɔre no nso ma ɛbɛdaa adi.—Dwom 16:8-11; Yesaia 53:5, 8, 11, 12; Mateo 20:28; Yohane 1:29; Asomafo no Nnwuma 2:25-31.
12 Esiane sɛ na nokware no gyina Yesu Kristo so nti, otumi kae sɛ: “Mene kwan ne nokware ne nkwa; obi mma agya no nkyɛn, gye sɛ ɔnam me so.” (Yohane 14:6) Sɛ nkurɔfo ‘gyina nokware no afã’ denam dwuma a Yesu di wɔ Onyankopɔn atirimpɔw mu a wogye tom so a, wonya honhom fam ahofadi. (Yohane 8:32-36; 18:37) Esiane sɛ nnipa a wɔte sɛ nguan no gye nokware no na wodi Kristo akyi wɔ gyidi mu nti, wobenya daa nkwa.—Yohane 10:24-28.
13 Nokware a Yesu ne n’asuafo a honhom kaa wɔn kaa ho asɛm no ne nokware Kristofo gyidi. Enti, wɔn a ‘wɔyɛ asoɔmmerɛw ma gyidi no’ ‘kɔ so nantew nokware no mu.’ (Asomafo no Nnwuma 6:7; 3 Yohane 3, 4) Ɛnde, henanom na wɔnam nokware no mu nnɛ? Henanom ankasa na wɔrekyerɛkyerɛ amanaman nyinaa nokware no? Bere a yɛde nsɛmmisa a ɛte saa ho mmuae rema no, yɛde yɛn adwene besi tete Kristofo no so na yɛahwehwɛ Kyerɛwnsɛm no mu nokware a ɛfa (1) gyidi ahorow, (2) ɔkwan a wɔfa so som, ne (3) ankorankoro abrabɔ ho no mu.

Paulo maa saa gyidi no mu daa hɔ fann bere a ɔkae sɛ: “Mewɔ Onyankopɔn ho anidaso . . . sɛ owusɔre a wɔn a wɔteɛ ne wɔn a wɔnteɛ bɛsɔre no bɛba” no. (Asomafo no Nnwuma 24:15) Akyiri yi mpo no, obi a ɔkyerɛe sɛ ɔyɛ Kristoni, Minucius Felix, kyerɛwee sɛ: “Hena na onnim nyansa a ɔbɛka sɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ nnipa mfiase no ntumi nsan mmɔ wɔn foforo?” Te sɛ tete Kristofo no, Yehowa Adansefo gye Kyerɛwnsɛm mu nokware a ɛfa onipa kra, owu, ne owusɔre ho no di. Afei ma yensusuw sɛnea Onyankopɔn ne Kristo te ho.
Nokware no ne Baasakoro No
18 Tete Kristofo no ammu Onyankopɔn, Kristo, ne honhom kronkron no sɛ Baasakoro. The Encyclopædia Britannica ka sɛ: “Asɛmfua Baasakoro anaa nkyerɛkyerɛ no ankasa mpue Apam Foforo no mu, na saa ara na Yesu ne n’akyidifo no anyɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛka biribi ma abɔ Shema [Hebri mpaebɔ bi] a ɛwɔ Apam Dedaw no mu abira: ‘Israel, tie: Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn ne Awurade koro’ (Deut. 6:4).” Kristofo no ansom Romafo nyame baasakoro anaa anyame foforo biara. Wogyee Yesu asɛm a ɛne sɛ Yehowa nkutoo na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom no no toom. (Mateo 4:10) Afei nso, wogyee Kristo nsɛm yi dii: “M’agya no yɛ kɛse sen me.” (Yohane 14:28) Yehowa Adansefo kura gyidi ahorow a ɛte saa ara mu nnɛ.

Nokwarem no, wɔbɔɔ asuafo asu (1) wɔ Agya no din mu, (2) Ɔba no din mu, ne (3) honhom kronkron no din mu, na ɛnyɛ Baasakoro no din mu.
