Tinofanira kushandisa zvaanotidzidzisa izvi kuti tikwanise “kusiyanisa zvakanaka nezvakaipa.” (VaHebheru 5:14) Patinoita izvozvo, tinenge tichibvumira Jehovha kuti atidzidzise kufunga zvakajeka. Patinotevedzera zvatinodzidziswa naMwari, toona kuti zvinoita kuti upenyu hwedu huvandudzike, tinosvika pakunzwisisa kuti zvinokosha zvakadini.

MWARI ANOONA SEI UPENYU NEROPA?
3, 4. (a) Mwari akabudisa sei pachena maonero aanoita ropa? (b) Ropa rinomiririra chii?
3 Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti ropa idzvene nekuti rinomiririra upenyu. Uye upenyu hunokosha kuna Jehovha. Kaini paakaponda munin’ina wake, Jehovha akamuudza kuti: “Ropa remunin’ina wako riri kushevedzera kwandiri riri panyika.” (Genesisi 4:10) Ropa raAbheri raimiririra upenyu hwake; Jehovha paakataura nezveropa raAbheri, aireva upenyu hwaAbheri.
4 Pashure peMafashamo epanguva yaNoa, Mwari akaudza vanhu kuti vaigona kudya nyama. Asi akataura zvakajeka kuti: “Asi nyama ine upenyu hwayo, iro ropa rayo, musaidya.” (Genesisi 9:4) Murayiro uyu waishanda kuvanhu vese vakabva kuna Noa, kusanganisira isu.

6 Mutemo waMozisi waiti kana munhu akauraya mhuka kuti adye nyama yayo, aifanira kudurura ropa rayo pasi. Izvi zvairatidza kuti upenyu hwemhuka yacho hwainge hwadzorerwa kuMusiki, Jehovha. (Dheuteronomi 12:16; Ezekieri 18:4) Asi Jehovha aisatarisira kuti vaIsraeri vabve vabvisa kadonhwe kese keropa kari mumhuka yavacheka. Vaigona kudya nyama yacho vaine hana yakachena, chero bedzi vaicheka, ropa rikabuda zvakakwana. Kuremekedza kwavaiita ropa remhuka kwairatidza kuremekedza kwavaiita Jehovha, Mupi weupenyu. Mutemo wairayirawo vaIsraeri kuti vabayire mhuka kuti varegererwe zvivi zvavo.—Ona Mamwe Mashoko 19 ne20.
7. Dhavhidhi akaratidza sei kuti aikoshesa ropa?
7 Tinogona kuona kukosha kweropa pane zvakaitwa naDhavhidhi paairwisa vaFiristiya. Varume vaiva naDhavhidhi vakaona kuti akanga ava nenyota saka vakapinda pakati pevavengi vavo, pavaigona kuurayiwa, ndokunomucherera mvura. Asi pavakauya nayo kuna Dhavhidhi, akaramba kuinwa “akaidururira pasi pamberi paJehovha.” Dhavhidhi akati: “Handingambofungi kuita zvakadaro, haiwa Jehovha! Ndinganwa ropa revarume vaenda kunochera mvura vachiisa upenyu hwavo pangozi here?” Kuna Dhavhidhi, mvura yacho yaimiririra upenyu hwevarume ava. Dhavhidhi ainzwisisa kuti upenyu neropa zvinokosha zvakadini kuna Mwari.—2 Samueri 23:15-17.
8, 9. Nhasi uno vaKristu vanofanira kuona sei ropa?
8 Pashure perufu rwaJesu, vanhu vaMwari vakanga vasisafaniri kupa zvibayiro zvemhuka. Asi maonero avaiita ropa aisafanira kuchinja. ‘Kurega ropa’ ndicho chimwe chezvinhu zvishomanana zvaiva muMutemo waMozisi zvaidiwa naJehovha kuti vaKristu vachengete. Kuita izvi kwaikosha sekungokosha kwazvaiita kuti varege upombwe nekunamata zvidhori.—Mabasa 15:28, 29.

Mumwe nemumwe anofanira kusarudza kuti ropa rake rinofanira kuitwa sei naro paanenge achivhiyiwa, parinenge richiongororwa kana riine chirwere, uye paanenge achirapwa zvisingabatanidzi kumbochengetwa kweropa rake.—Ona Mamwe Mashoko 21.
12. (a) Nei zvatinosarudza panyaya dzehana zvichikosha kuna Jehovha? (b) Tingasarudza sei nekuchenjera nzira yatingada kurapwa nayo?

Saka patinenge tichisarudza marapirwo atichaitwa, tinofanira kunyengetera kuti Jehovha atitungamirire, totsvakurudza nezvemarapirwo acho. Kana tadaro, tozoshandisa hana yedu yakadzidziswa neBhaibheri pakuita chisarudzo.

13 Zvese zvatinokumbirwa naJehovha kuti tiite zvakatinakira uye zvinoratidza kuti anotida.

Kuda kwatinoita Jehovha ndiko kunoita kuti tirambe kuwedzerwa ropa. (Mabasa 15:20) Izvi zvinochengetedzawo utano hwedu. Vakawanda mazuva ano vanoziva kuti kuwedzerwa ropa kwakaipirei, uye vanachiremba vakawanda vanobvuma kuti kuvhiya vasingashandisi ropa kwakanakira varwere vavo.

14 Mitemo yaMwari yagara yakanakira vanhu vake. Jehovha akapa vaIsraeri mitemo kuti ivadzivirire panjodzi. Semuenzaniso, mumwe mutemo waiti munhu anenge avaka imba ine denga rakati sandara, aifanira kuvaka kamudhuri kumucheto kwedenga racho kuitira kuti vanhu vasadonha. (Dheuteronomi 22:8) Mumwe mutemo waiva nechekuita nezvipfuwo. Kana munhu aine mombe inotunga, aifanira kuichengetedza kuitira kuti isakuvadza kana kuuraya mumwe munhu. (Eksodho 21:28, 29) MuIsraeri paairega kuteerera mitemo iyi, aipiwa mhosva kana mumwe munhu akafa.

Vamwe vanhu, kunyanya vechidiki, vanofunga kuti hapana chinovawana, saka vanoita zvinhu zvinoisa upenyu hwavo pangozi uye havatombofungi nezvenjodzi dzinogona kuitika. Asi Jehovha haadi kuti tidaro. Anoda kuti tikoshese upenyu, hungava hwedu kana hwevamwe.—Muparidzi 11:9, 10.
16. Jehovha anoona sei kubvisa pamuviri?
16 Upenyu hwemunhu wese hunokosha kuna Jehovha. Kunyange mwana asati azvarwa anokosha kwaari. MuMutemo waMozisi, kana munhu akakuvadza netsaona mukadzi ane pamuviri, uye mukadzi wacho kana kuti mwana wacho ofa, Jehovha aiti munhu iyeye ainge auraya. Izvi zvaireva kuti kunyange zvazvo yaiva tsaona, painge patofa munhu, uye upenyu hwake hwaifanira kuripwa. (Verenga Eksodho 21:22, 23.) Kuna Mwari, mwana asati azvarwa munhu mupenyu. Saka, unofunga kuti anoona sei kubvisa pamuviri? Unofunga kuti anonzwa sei paanoona zviuru nezviuru zvevana vasati vazvarwa zvichiurayiwa gore negore?

Sekuva kure kwakaita kumabvazuva kubva kumavirira, saizvozvowo akaisa zvitadzo zvedu kure nesu.”—Pisarema 103:8-14.
SIYANA NEPFUNGWA DZEKUVENGA VAMWE VANHU
18. Nei tichifanira kuedza zvese zvatinogona kubvisa pfungwa dzekuvenga vamwe?

Jehovha anoziva kuti tinoona sei vamwe vanhu.

Tinoda kuzadza pfungwa dzedu nezvinhu zvakachena uye zverugare.—Verenga VaFiripi 4:8, 9.
REGA KUBATANA NEMASANGANO ASINGAKOSHESI UPENYU
20-22. (a) Jehovha anoona sei nyika yaSatani? (b) Vanhu vaMwari vangaratidza sei kuti “havasi venyika”?
20 Nyika yaSatani haikoshesi upenyu, uye kuna Jehovha ine mhaka yekudeura ropa. Hurumende dzine simba dzepanyika dzava nemazana emakore dzichiurayisa zviuru nezviuru zvevanhu, kusanganisira vashumiri vaJehovha vakawanda. MuBhaibheri, hurumende idzi, dzinotsanangurwa sezvikara zvinotyisa uye zvinorura. (Dhanieri 8:3, 4, 20-22; Zvakazarurwa 13:1, 2, 7, 8) Mazuva ano kutengeswa kwezvombo rava bhizinesi rakakura. Vanhu vanowana mazakwatira emari nekutengesa zvombo zvakadaro zvinouraya vanhu vakawanda. Zviri pachena kuti “nyika yese iri musimba reakaipa.”—1 Johani 5:19.
21 Asi vaKristu vechokwadi “havasi venyika.” Vanhu vaJehovha havapindiri mune zvematongerwo enyika kana muhondo. Sezvo vasingaurayi, havatsigiri sangano ripi zvaro rinouraya vanhu.

Vaya vanonamata Jehovha havabatani nechitendero chenhema.—Zvakazarurwa 17:6; 18:2, 4, 24.
23. ‘Kubuda’ muBhabhironi Guru kunosanganisirei?
23 ‘Kubuda’ muBhabhironi Guru kunosanganisira kunyatsoratidza pachena kuti hatisisiri muchitendero chenhema chero chipi zvacho. Tingada kuva nechokwadi chekuti zita redu rakabviswa pakati pemazita enhengo dzechechi yenhema. Asi hatifaniri kugumira ipapo. Tinodawo kuvenga uye kusiyana nezvinhu zvakaipa zvinoitwa nezvitendero zvenhema. Zvitendero zvenhema zvinobvumira uye zvinotsigira unzenza, zvematongerwo enyika, uye makaro. (Verenga Pisarema 97:10; Zvakazarurwa 18:7, 9, 11-17) Zvinhu izvi zvaurayisa zviuru nezviuru zvevanhu.
24, 25. Kuziva kwatakaita Jehovha kwava kutibatsira sei kuva nerugare nehana yakanaka?
24 Tisati taziva Jehovha, mumwe nemumwe wedu aiva nenzira yaaitsigira nayo zvinhu zvakaipa zvinoitwa nenyika yaSatani. Asi iye zvino takachinja. Takagamuchira rudzikinuro uye takazvitsaurira kuna Mwari. Tiri ‘munguva yekuzorodzwa inobva kuna Jehovha pachake.’ Izvi zvinoreva kuti tine rugare nehana yakanaka, zvinobva pakuziva kuti tiri kufadza Mwari.—Mabasa 3:19; Isaya 1:18.
25 Kunyange kana taimbova mune rimwe sangano risingaremekedzi upenyu, Jehovha anogona kutiregerera achishandisa rudzikinuro. Tinonyatsokoshesa chipo chaJehovha cheupenyu. Tinoratidza kuti tinochikoshesa nekuita zvese zvatinogona kuti tibatsire vamwe kuti vadzidze nezvaJehovha, vasiye nyika yaSatani uye vave neushamwari hwepedyo naMwari.—2 VaKorinde 6:1, 2.

Kudai Ezekieri akarega kuvayambira, Jehovha aizomupa mhosva yekuurayisa vanhu ivavo. (Ezekieri 33:7-9) Ezekieri akaratidza kuti aikoshesa upenyu nekuita zvese zvaaigona kuti avaudze mashoko iwayo anokosha aibva kuna Jehovha.
27 Jehovha akatipa basa rekuyambira vanhu kuti nyika yaSatani yava pedyo kuparadzwa uye kuvabatsira kuti vazive Jehovha vopona vachipinda munyika itsva. (Isaya 61:2; Mateu 24:14) Tinoda kuita zvese zvatinogona kuti tiudze vamwe mashoko aya. Tinoda kusvika pakutaura sezvakaitwa naPauro kuti: “Ndakachena paropa revanhu vese . . . nekuti handina kumborega kukuudzai zvinhu zvese nezvechinangwa chaMwari.”—Mabasa 20:26, 27.
