Orait nau ol i save pinis olsem God i no bin makim ol bilong i go long heven, ol i mas bihainim maus bilong bel na no ken kisim moa. Sapos wanpela man i save olsem God i no bin singautim em, tasol em i mekim yet olsem em i bilong i go long heven na mekim wok king na pris, bai God i no amamas long dispela man. (Rom 9:16; KTH 20:6) Jehova i bin kilim i dai Kora, em wanpela Livai, long wanem, em i laik mekim wok pris em lain bilong Aron i holim, tasol God i no bin makim em long mekim. (Kisim Bek 28:1; Namba 16:4-11, 31-35) Sapos wanpela Kristen i bin kisim bret na wain, tasol nau em i save i no stret em i bin mekim olsem, orait em i no ken kisim moa, na long pasin daun em i mas beten long God long lusim dispela rong bilong em.—Song 19:13.

Olsem na yumi mas was gut; nogut yumi larim sampela tingting kranki yumi holim bipo o sampela narapela samting i pulim yumi.

Mi gat bikpela laik long kisim namba long nau o long kamap king wantaim Krais?’ Taim God i singautim ol man bilong Kingdom long taim bilong ol aposel, i no olgeta bilong ol i holim bikpela wok insait long kongrigesen. Na ol man bilong i go long heven ol i no save wok long kisim bikpela namba na hambak long God i bin makim ol. Ol i mekim pasin daun em ol man i gat “tingting bilong Krais” i mas bihainim.—1 Korin 2:16.
16 Ating sampela i bin kisim tingting olsem ol i bilong i go long heven, long wanem, ol i bin kisim bikpela save bilong Baibel. Tasol taim spirit holi i makim wanpela man, yumi ken save olsem dispela i no givim bikpela save long em, long wanem, i gat sampela man God i bin makim, em Pol i mas skulim ol long sampela tok na stretim ol.

(Matyu 24:45-47) Olsem na Kristen God i bin makim em i no ken ting olsem dispela i mekim na em i gat gutpela tingting na save winim ol Kristen i wet long kisim laip long graun. Sapos Kristen i save gut tru long pasin bilong bekim gut ol askim bilong Baibel, na autim tok, na mekim ol tok bilong Baibel, dispela yet i no makim olsem God i bin makim em, nogat. Ol Kristen i wet long kisim laip long graun, ol tu i mekim gut ol dispela samting.

17 Sapos wanpela wanbilip i gat askim long i go long heven, wanpela elda o narapela strongpela Kristen i ken toktok wantaim em long dispela samting. Tasol narapela i no ken tokim narapela olsem em i bilong i go long heven o nogat. Sapos tru tru God i bin makim wanpela man, orait em i no gat wok long askim ol narapela olsem em i bilong i go long heven o nogat.

[Ol] i kamap long pikinini kaikai i save stap oltaim. Dispela pikinini kaikai em tok bilong God, em tok i gat laip na i save stap oltaim.” (1 Pita 1:23) Long rot bilong spirit na Tok bilong em, God i planim “pikinini kaikai” long man na dispela i mekim em i kamap “nupela man tru” i gat tingting bilong i go long heven. (2 Korin 5:17) Na Jehova yet i makim dispela man. “Taim God i makim man, dispela i no kamap long laik bilong man na long hatwok bilong em. Nogat. Em i kamap long marimari bilong God tasol.” (Rom 9:16) Orait olsem wanem Kristen inap save God i bin singautim em bilong i go long heven?
