Vanombokanganisawo here? Hongu. Dzimwe nguva vashumiri vaMwari vanomboita ‘semakwai akapararira’ uye ‘semakwai akarasika.’ (Ezekieri 34:12; Mateu 15:24; 1 Petro 2:25) Asi kunyange kana munhu akamborasika, Jehovha anoramba aine tariro yekuti achadzoka kwaari.

Tiunzirei mazuva matsva sekare kare.” (Mariro 5:21) Jehovha akapindura munyengetero iwoyo, uye vanhu vake vakatangazve kumushumira vachifara. (Nehemiya 8:17) Jehovha achaitawo kuti ufare saizvozvo.
