Unogona kugutsa nzara yako yokuda kuziva Mwari uye kuwana zivo inokosha yeBhaibheri kana ukagara uchiverenga Shoko raMwari. (Mat. 5:3) Jesu akatisiyira muenzaniso. Mumwe musi paaiva nemakore 12, vabereki vake vakamuwana ari mutemberi, “akagara pakati pevadzidzisi achivateerera nokuvabvunza.” (Ruka 2:44-46) Jesu akatanga kuva nechido chokuverenga Magwaro uye kuanzwisisa achiri muduku.

(VaH. 11:27) Naizvozvo, pose paunoverenga ndima yomuBhaibheri, shandisa mukana iwoyo kudzidza chimwe chinhu nezvaJehovha.

(Verenga Zvirevo 2:1-5.) Kufanana naTimoti muduku, ‘uchaitwa kuti uve nechokwadi’ chezvaunodzidza muMagwaro, uye uchava nechido chokushumira Jehovha nomwoyo wose.—2 Tim. 3:14.
Kubatsira Kunoita Munyengetero Kuti Uwedzere Kuda Jehovha

(1 Madz. 8:41, 42) Mwari haasaruri. Vaya vanoita zvaanotaura vane chivimbo chokuti achavateerera. (Zvir. 15:8) Zvechokwadi, pari kunzi “vanhu vemarudzi ose” panosanganisirawo imi vaduku.
11 Munoziva kuti ushamwari hwose hunopfumbira nokukurukurirana. Pamwe unofarira kuudzawo shamwari yako zvaunofunga, zvinokunetsa uye manzwiro aunoita. Saizvozvowo, paunonyengetera nomwoyo wose, unenge uchikurukura noMusiki wako Mukuru.

Paunoona kupindura kunoita Jehovha minyengetero yako, uchasvika pakuziva kuti “Jehovha ari pedyo navose vaya vanodana kwaari.” (Pis. 145:18) Zvechokwadi, Jehovha achaswedera pedyo newe, achikusimbisa kuti urwise Dhiyabhorosi uye uite zvisarudzo zvakarurama muupenyu.—Verenga Jakobho 4:7, 8.
13. (a) Imwe hanzvadzi yakabatsirwa sei nokuva noushamwari naMwari? (b) Kuva noushamwari naMwari kuri kukubatsirai sei kuti usangotevedzera vezera rako?

Saka Cherie akaita sei? Anoti: “Ndanyengetera kuna Jehovha, ndakaramba bhezari yacho ndikatora upiyona hwenguva dzose.” Iye zvino ava nemakore mashanu ari piyona. Anoti: “Handisi kumbozvidemba. Kuziva kuti ndakasarudza zvinofadza Jehovha kunondifadza. Zvechokwadi, kana ukaisa Umambo hwaMwari pakutanga, zvimwe zvinhu zvose zvichawedzerwa kwauri.”—Mat. 6:33.
