Bɛyɛ mfe 40 akyi no, odiyifo bi a wɔfrɛ no Bileam nso huu anwonwade bi. Ɔbɔfo ho a ɔde gyee nsɛm mu mpo amma no annyae sɛ ɔne Onyankopɔn atamfo, Moabfo no bɛyɛ biako. Saa anwonwade no nyinaa akyi no, Bileam kɔɔ so sɔre tiaa Yehowa Nyankopɔn ne Ne nkurɔfo. (Numeri 22:1-35; 2 Petro 2:15, 16) Nanso, sɛ wɔde gyidi a Bileam ankyerɛ no toto Yuda Iskariot de no ho a, ennu ho hwee. Ɛmfa ho sɛ na Yuda yɛ Yesu yɔnko berɛbo, na ohuu anwonwade a enni ano a ɔyɛe no, oyii Kristo mae de gyee nnwetɛbona aduasa.—Mateo 26:14-16, 47-50; 27:3-5.
Yudafo nyamesom akannifo no nso huu anwonwade pii a Yesu yɛe no. Bere a onyanee Lasaro no, wogye toom mpo sɛ: “Onipa yi yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne pii.” Nanso, so Lasaro a wohui sɛ wɔanyan no no ma wonyaa adwensakra ne gyidi? Dabida. Mmom no, wɔbɔɔ pɔ sɛ wobekum Yesu ne Lasaro nyinaa!—Yohane 11:47-53; 12:10.

Bere bi a na Yesu wɔ asɔrefie hɔ no, ɔbɔɔ mpae denneennen sɛ: “Agya, hyɛ wo din anuonyam!” Yehowa fi soro buae sɛ: “Mahyɛ no anuonyam dedaw, na mɛhyɛ no bio!” Nanso, saa anwonwade yi amma wɔn a na wɔwɔ hɔ no annya gyidi. Bible ka sɛ: “Na wayɛ saa nsɛnkyerɛnne bebree wɔ wɔn anim de, nanso wɔannye no anni.”—Yohane 12:28-30, 37; fa toto Efesofo 3:17 ho.

Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na anwonwade ahorow yi nyinaa akyi no, nkurɔfo no annya gyidi? Sɛ wususuw ho sɛ bere a Yesu fii ne som adwuma no ase pɛɛ no, na Yudafo no nyinaa ‘rehwɛ Kristo no’ anaa Mesia no kwan a, ɛte sɛ nea gye a Yudafo nyamesom akannifo no annye no anni no yɛ biribi a ntease nnim koraa. (Luka 3:15) Nanso, na ɔhaw no gyina sɛnea na wɔn akwanhwɛ no te so. Nsɛm asekyerɛ nhoma kyerɛwfo W. E. Vine fa Bible mu nimdefo bi a wonim no yiye asɛm ka sɛ na Mesia a ɔbɛma Yudafo no anya “asase so nkonimdi” ne “asetra mu yiyedi” na agye wɔn adwene.

Ná nyamesom akannifo no suro nso sɛ Yesu nkyerɛkyerɛ no bɛhwanyan nsɛm mu na ɛde wɔn dibea a ɛkorɔn no ato asiane mu. (Yohane 11:48) Adwene a na wɔn ankasa adi kan anya ne wɔn pɛsɛmenkominya amma wɔanhu nea na Yesu anwonwade ahorow no kyerɛ.
Akyiri yi, Yudafo nyamesom akannifo no ne afoforo poo anwonwade ahorow a edii adanse sɛ Yesu akyidifo no nyaa Onyankopɔn anim dom no. Sɛ nhwɛso no, bere a n’asomafo no saa ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ bubuafo fi awo mu yare no, Yudafo asɛnnibea kunini no mufo a na wɔn bo afuw no bisae sɛ: “Dɛn na yɛbɛyɛ nnipa yi? Na wɔahu sɛnkyerɛnne a wɔnam wɔn so ayɛ; ada adi wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem nyinaa anim, na yentumi nsan.

(Mateo 18:10) Wonnye kyim nka sɛ Onyankopɔn nni hɔ. Nokwarem no, “ahonhommɔne nso gye di, na wɔn ho popo.” (Yakobo 2:19) Nanso, wonni Onyankopɔn mu gyidi.
Nea Nokware Gyidi Kyerɛ
Gyidi nkyerɛ biribi mu ahotoso a wonya kɛkɛ. Ɛkyerɛ nea ɛsen nkate fam nneyɛe bi a wɔda no adi wɔ anwonwade bi ho amonom hɔ ara nso. Hebrifo 11:1 ka sɛ: “Gyidi ne ade a yɛn ani da so ho ahotoso ne nneɛma a yenhu ho adansegye.” Obi a ɔwɔ gyidi no gye tom wɔ ne komam sɛ biribiara a Yehowa Nyankopɔn ahyɛ ho bɔ no, ɛte sɛ nea abam dedaw. Bio nso, nneɛma a yenhu ho adanse a wontumi nnye ho kyim no wɔ tumi araa ma wɔka gyidi ankasa ho asɛm sɛ ɛne saa adanse no yɛ pɛ. Yiw, gyidi gyina adanse so. Na tete mmere mu no, anwonwade ahorow dii dwuma titiriw wɔ gyidi a obi benya anaa den a emu bɛyɛ mu. Nsɛnkyerɛnne a Yesu yɛe no maa afoforo gye dii sɛ ɔne Mesia a wɔahyɛ ne ho bɔ no. (Mateo 8:16, 17; Hebrifo 2:2-4) Saa ara na Onyankopɔn honhom kronkron, anaa adeyɛ tumi no akyɛde te sɛ anwonwakwan so ayaresa ne kasa horow no dii adanse sɛ na Yudafo no nni Yehowa anim dom bio, na mmom, Kristofo asafo a ne Ba, Yesu Kristo, de sii hɔ no na ɛwɔ n’anim dom seesei.—1 Korintofo 12:7-11.
Nea na ɛka anwonwade akyɛde ahorow no ho ne tumi a wɔde hyɛ nkɔm. Bere a wɔn a wonnye nni huu saa anwonwade yi no, ɛkaa ebinom ma wɔsom Yehowa, na wɔkae sɛ: “Onyankopɔn wɔ mo mu ampa.” (1 Korintofo 14:22-25) Nanso, na ɛnyɛ Yehowa Nyankopɔn atirimpɔw ne sɛ anwonwade bɛyɛ Kristosom ho ade a ɛtra hɔ daa. Ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛw ma ɛfatae sɛ: “Nkɔmhyɛ de, wobegu; ɔkasa horow de, ebegyae.” (1 Korintofo 13:8) Ɛda adi sɛ saa akyɛde ahorow yi gyaee bere a asomafo no ne wɔn a na wɔnam saafo no so anya akyɛde a ɛte saa no wuwui no.
Ɛnde na wobegyaw nnipa kwa a wɔrennya gyidi nnyinaso biara? Dabi, efisɛ Paulo kae sɛ: “[Onyankopɔn annyae] ne ho adansedi, yɛ yiye ma mo osu fi soro ne bere a aduan ba, na ɔde aduan ne anigye ma mo abotɔyam.” (Asomafo no Nnwuma 14:17) Nokwarem no, wɔ komapafo a wɔwɔ ɔpɛ sɛ wobebue wɔn adwene ne wɔn komam agye adanse a atwa yɛn ho ahyia adi no fam no, Yehowa Nyankopɔn yɛ obi a “n’ade a wonhu a ɛne ne daa tumi ne nyamesu ada adi nneɛma a ɔyɛe no ho, enti na [wɔn a wɔpo Nyankopɔn no] nni anoyi biara.”—Romafo 1:20.
Gyidi a obi wɔ sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ hɔ kɛkɛ no nnɔɔso. Paulo hyɛɛ nkuran sɛ: “Monnyɛ mo ho sɛ wiase yi, na mmom momfa adwenem foforoyɛ nsakra mo ho, na moasɔ nea Onyankopɔn pɛ a eye, na ɛsɔ ani, na ɛyɛ pɛ no ahwɛ.” (Romafo 12:2) Yebetumi ayɛ eyi bere a yɛde nsi sua Kyerɛwnsɛm no denam Kristofo nhoma ahorow, te sɛ saa nsɛmma nhoma yi so no. Gyidi a egyina Onyankopɔn Asɛm, Bible, mu nokware nimdeɛ so no nyɛ nea ɛtɔ sin anaa nea emu nnɔ. Wɔn a wɔahu Onyankopɔn apɛde na wɔde gyidi reyɛ no de ɔsom kronn rema Onyankopɔn.—Romafo 12:1.

Ná ɛyɛ den ma ɔsomafo Toma sɛ obegye adi sɛ wɔanyan Yesu afi owu mu. Toma kae sɛ: “Sɛ manhu ne nsam nnadewa no anan mu, na mamfa me nsateaa manka nnadewa no anan mu, na mamfa me nsa manka ne mfem a, minnye minni.” Bere a akyiri yi, Yesu faa honam nipadua a ɛdaa n’asɛndua mu kuru no adi no, Toma yɛɛ saa anwonwade yi ho ade ɔkwampa so. Nanso, Yesu kae sɛ: “Nhyira [Anigye, NW] ne wɔn a wonhui na wogye di.”—Yohane 20:25-29.
Ɛnnɛ, Yehowa Adansefo ɔpepem pii ‘nam gyidi mu, na ɛnyɛ ohu mu.’ (2 Korintofo 5:7) Ɛwom sɛ wɔanhu anwonwade ahorow a wɔayɛ ho kyerɛwtohɔ wɔ Bible mu no de, nanso wɔwɔ gyidi a emu yɛ den sɛ esisii.

(Mateo 6:9, 10; 2 Timoteo 3:16, 17) Saa nokware Kristofo yi de Bible afotu a nyansa wom no di dwuma wɔ asetram, na ɛma wonya mfaso kɛse. (Dwom 119:105; Yesaia 48:17, 18) Wogye adanse a wontumi nnye ho kyim a ɛne sɛ Bible nkɔmhyɛ ahorow no hyɛ yɛn bere yi agyirae sɛ “nna a edi akyiri” no tom, na wɔwɔ gyidi sɛ Onyankopɔn wiase foforo a wahyɛ ho bɔ no abɛn.
