Ɔkasa tiaa hokwan a Onyankopɔn wɔ sɛ ɔdi n’abɔde nyinaa so tumi sɛ Otumfoɔ Pumpuni no. Satan kaa sɛ ɔbɛtumi adi nnipa so yie asen Onyankopɔn.

Bible ka “nna a ɛdi akyire” no ho asɛm sɛ: “Nnipa bɔne ne nnaadaafoɔ bɛkɔ wɔn anim wɔ bɔne mu.” (2 Timoteo 3:1, 13) Bible san ka sɛ: “O Yehowa, menim sɛ ɔdasani kwan nni ne nsam. Ɛnni onipa nsam, sɛdeɛ ɔnam a ɔbɛtutu n’anammɔn.” (Yeremia 10:23) Abakɔsɛm ama yɛahu sɛ saa asɛm no yɛ nokware turodoo.

Saa abɔde yi nyinaa ma yɛhu sɛ Yehowa ne yɛn Bɔfo, na ɛma yɛhu ne su ahorow te sɛ ne tumi, ne nyansa, ne ne dɔ.

Onyankopɔn Asɛm hyɛ bɔ sɛ: “Wɔbɛyi nnebɔneyɛfoɔ hɔ, na wɔn a wɔtwɛn Yehowa no, wɔn na wɔbɛnya asase no adie. Aka kakraa bi na ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ nni hɔ bio.” Bible san ka sɛ: “Wisie mu” na Yehowa atamfo “awieeɛ bɛba,” anaa wɔbɛyera te sɛ wisie.—Dwom 37:9, 10, 20.\n11 Onyankopɔn Asɛm hyɛ bɔ nso sɛ: “Ateneneefoɔ bɛnya asase no adi, na wɔatena so daapem.” (Dwom 37:29) Anokwafo ‘bɛgye wɔn ani asomdwoeɛ bebree mu.’ (Dwom 37:11) Adɛn ntia? Efisɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn a ɔyɛ ɔdɔ no yɛ nea eye paa ma n’asomfo a wɔdi nokware no bere nyinaa.

Mmaratofoɔ deɛ, wɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa prɛko, na nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso, wɔbɛyi wɔn hɔ.” (Dwom 37:37, 38) “Onipa a ɔyɛ pɛ” anaa onipa a ne ho nni asɛm yɛ obi a sɛ ɔnya hu Yehowa ne ne Ba no a, ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde. (Kenkan Yohane 17:3.) Ɔgye di paa sɛ “wiase ne n’akɔnnɔ retwam, na deɛ ɔyɛ adeɛ a Onyankopɔn pɛ no tena hɔ daa.” (1 Yohane 2:17) Esiane sɛ wiase no awiei abɛn nti, ɛho hia paa sɛ ‘yɛtwɛn Yehowa, na yɛfa ne kwan so.’—Dwom 37:34.\nƆDƆ A ƐSEN BIARA A ONYANKOPƆN ADA NO ADI\n13. Dɛn ne ɔdɔ a ɛsen biara a Onyankopɔn ada no adi?\n13 Ɛwom sɛ yɛtɔ sini deɛ, nanso yɛbɛtumi atie Onyankopɔn asɛm. Afei nso yɛbɛtumi ne Yehowa anya abusuabɔ a emu yɛ den esiane Yesu agyede afɔre no nti; ɛno ne ɔdɔ a ɛsen biara a Onyankopɔn ada no adi akyerɛ yɛn. Yehowa de agyede no maeɛ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa asoɔmmerɛwfo bɛtumi ade wɔn ho afi bɔne ne owuo ho. (Kenkan Romafoɔ 5:12; 6:23.) Yesu dii Onyankopɔn nokware wɔ soro bere tenteenten, enti na Yehowa wɔ ahotoso sɛ ne Ba no bɛdi nokware wɔ asase so. Yehowa yɛ Agya a ɔwɔ ɔdɔ, enti bere a ɔhuu sɛ nnipa reyɛ ne Ba no ayayadeɛ no, ɛyɛɛ no yaw paa. Nanso, Yesu de nokwaredi gyinaa Onyankopɔn tumidi akyi, na ɔdaa no adi sɛ onipa a ɔyɛ pɛ bɛtumi adi Onyankopɔn nokware wɔ tebea a ɛyɛ den paa mpo mu.\nƆdɔ na ɛmaa Onyankopɔn somaa ne Ba no (Hwɛ nkyekyɛm 13)\n14, 15. Dɛn na Yesu wuo no yɛ maa adesamma?\n14 Yesu faa sɔhwɛ a ɛyɛ den paa mu, nanso ne nyinaa mu no, ɔkɔɔ so dii Yehowa nokware, na ɔma ɛdaa adi sɛ Yehowa na ɔfata sɛ ɔdi tumi. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛda Onyankopɔn ase paa sɛ Yesu nam ne wuo so tuaa agyede no. Wei na ɛbɛma nnipa anya kwan atena ase daa wɔ Onyankopɔn wiase foforo no mu! Ɔsomafo Paulo kaa ɔdɔ a Yehowa ne Yesu nam agyede no so daa no adi ho asɛm. Ɔkaa sɛ: “Nokorɛm no, berɛ a yɛda so yɛ mmerɛ no, Kristo wu maa amumuyɔfoɔ wɔ berɛ a wɔahyɛ no mu. Na ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ obi bɛwu ama onipa tenenee; ɛwom, ebia onipa pa deɛ, obi bɛsi ne bo sɛ ɔbɛwu ama no. Nanso Onyankopɔn yi ne dɔ a ɔdɔ yɛn no kyerɛ, ɛfiri sɛ yɛda so yɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no, Kristo wu maa yɛn.” (Romafoɔ 5:6-8) Ɔsomafo Yohane nso kyerɛwee sɛ: “Yei mu na wɔyii Onyankopɔn dɔ adie wɔ yɛn ho, ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn somaa ne Ba a ɔwoo no koro no baa wiase sɛ yɛmfa ne so nnya nkwa. Yei mu na ɔdɔ no wɔ, ɛnyɛ sɛ yɛn na yɛdɔɔ Onyankopɔn, na mmom ɔno na ɔdɔɔ yɛn na ɔsomaa ne Ba baa sɛ ɔmfa ne nkwa mmɛbɔ afɔdeɛ mpata mma yɛn bɔne.”—1 Yohane 4:9, 10.\n15 Yesu kaa sɛ “Onyankopɔn dɔ wiase paa ma enti ɔde ne Ba a ɔwoo no korɔ no maeɛ, na obiara a ɔkyerɛ ne mu gyidie no ansɛe na mmom wanya daa nkwa.” (Yohane 3:16) Ɛwom sɛ ɛyɛɛ Yehowa yaw paa sɛ ɔde ne Ba no bɛma sɛ agyede deɛ, nanso ɔde no maeɛ.

Yehowa ayi obi a ɔdɔ adesamma a ɔfata sɛ ɔdi Ahenni no so Hene. Ɔno ne Yesu Kristo. (Mmebusɛm 8:31) Onyankopɔn apaw nnipa 144,000 sɛ wɔne Kristo nni ade wɔ soro. Sɛ wɔnyane saa nkurɔfo yi a, wɔde osuahu a wɔnyaeɛ bere a na wɔyɛ nnipa wɔ asase so no bɛkɔ soro.

Nsonsonoe bɛn na ɛda Yesu nniso ne nnipa nniso ntam?\n17 Nsonsonoe kɛse da Yesu nniso ne nnipa nniso ntam. Yesu di nnipa so wɔ ɔdɔ mu, nanso nnipa nniso akɔfa akodi aba ma wɔakunkum nnipa ɔpepem pii.

(Adiyisɛm 7:10, 16, 17) Yesu kaa sɛ: “Mo a moabrɛ na wɔde nnesoa asoa mo nyinaa, mommra me nkyɛn, na mɛma mo ho adwo mo.
