● ”Hena na ɔyɛ mum anaa ɔsotifo, anaa ɔdehufo anaa ofuraefo? Ɛnyɛ me [Yehowa, NW] yi?”—Exodus 4:11.
So eyi kyerɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde wɔn a wɔadi dɛm nyinaa ho asodi to Onyankopɔn so? Dabi. Eyi bɛyɛ nea ɛne Onyankopɔn nipasu nhyia. Bible ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ: “Onyankopɔn abɔde nyinaa ye.” (1 Timoteo 4:4) Sɛ wɔwo obi onifuraefo, mum, anaa ɔsotifo a, ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɛsɛ sɛ yenunu no. Adepa nkutoo na ɔpɛ sɛ n’abɔde nya, efisɛ Ɔno na “akyɛde pa nyinaa ne adekyɛde a ɛyɛ pɛ nyinaa fi” no.—Yakobo 1:17.
Ɛyɛ yɛn awofo a wodi kan, Adam ne Hawa, na wofii wɔn pɛ mu tew atua tiaa Onyankopɔn na ɛma wɔhweree pɛyɛ ne hokwan a wɔwɔ sɛ wɔbɛwo mma a wɔyɛ pɛ no. (Genesis 3:1-6, 16, 19; Hiob 14:4) Bere a wɔn asefo waree na wɔwoo mma no, sintɔ ahorow pii, a honam fam dɛmdi ka ho, fii ase baa nnipa mu. Bere a ɛnyɛ Yehowa Nyankopɔn na ɔde eyi bae no, wama ho kwan ma aba. Enti, obetumi aka ne ho asɛm sɛ ɔno na “ɔyɛ” mum, ɔsotifo, ne onifuraefo.
● ”Nea akyea no, wontumi nteɛ.”—Ɔsɛnkafo 1:15.
So Onyankopɔn na ɔkyeakyeaa nneɛma? Dabida. Ɔsɛnkafo 7:29 ka sɛ: “Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa yiye, na wɔn de, wɔhwehwɛ tirim adwene bebree.” Contemporary English Version kyerɛ saa nkyekyem yi ase wɔ ɔkwan foforo so no: “Bere a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ yɛn no, na yɛyɛ pɛ koraa, nanso mprempren, yɛakyinkyim yɛn adwene.” Sɛ anka mmarima ne mmea de Onyankopɔn trenee gyinapɛn ahorow bedi dwuma no, mpɛn pii no, wɔafi wɔn pɛ mu de wɔn ankasa nhyehyɛe, tirimbɔ, adwene, anaa wɔn akwan—adi dwuma ma apira wɔn.—1 Timoteo 2:14.
Afei nso, sɛnea ɔsomafo Paulo kae no, esiane adesamma bɔne nti, “wɔde abɔde ahyɛ ade hunu ase.” (Romafo 8:20) Na nnipa mmɔdenbɔ ‘ntumi nteɛ’ saa tebea yi. Onyankopɔn ho a ɔde begye asase so nsɛm mu so nkutoo na wobetumi ayi nneɛma a akyeakyea ne ade hunu no nyinaa afi hɔ.
● ”Hwɛ Onyankopɔn nneyɛe. Na hena na obetumi ateɛ nea ɔno akyea no.”—Ɔsɛnkafo 7:13.
Ɔkwan foforo so no, Ɔhene Salomo bisa sɛ: ‘Adesamma mu hena na obetumi ateɛteɛ dɛmdi ne sintɔ ahorow a Onyankopɔn ma ho kwan no?’ Obiara nni hɔ, efisɛ biribi nti na Yehowa Nyankopɔn ma saa nneɛma yi ho kwan ma ɛba.
Enti, Salomo hyɛ nyansa sɛ: “Da pa mu nya koma pa, na da bɔne mu dwen [hu, NW] sɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ eyi nso aka ɛno ho, nea ɛbɛyɛ na onipa anhu n’akyi biribiara.” (Ɔsɛnkafo 7:14) Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa kyerɛ ɛda a nneɛma bɛkɔ yiye ho anisɔ denam nneɛma pa a ɔbɛyɛ so. Ɛsɛ sɛ obu da pa sɛ akyɛde a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ. Na sɛ ɛda no de amanehunu ba nso ɛ? Ɛyɛ papa sɛ obi ‘behu,’ kyerɛ sɛ, obegye atom sɛ Onyankopɔn na wama kwan ma amanehunu no aba. Dɛn nti na wayɛ saa? Salomo ka sɛ: “Na onipa anhu n’akyi biribiara.” Dɛn na eyi kyerɛ?
Nokwasɛm a ɛyɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn ma yenya anigye na yehyia amanehunu no kae yɛn sɛ, yentumi nkyerɛ nea ɛbɛba daakye. Amanehunu betumi ato treneefo ne abɔnefo nyinaa. Etumi to obiara. Ɛsɛ sɛ eyi ma yehu hia a ehia sɛ yɛmfa yɛn ho nto yɛn ankasa ho so, na mmom yɛde yɛn ho to Onyankopɔn so, na yɛkae sɛ “Onyankopɔn ne dɔ.” (1 Yohane 4:8) Bere a yɛrentumi nte nneɛma bi ase mprempren no, yebetumi anya awerɛhyem sɛ sɛ biribiara ba awiei a, yebehu sɛ nea Onyankopɔn ama ho kwan no dii atirimpɔw bi a mfaso wɔ so ma wɔn a asɛm too wɔn no nyinaa ho dwuma.
Biribiara a ɔma ho kwan no rempira treneefo afebɔɔ da. Ɔsomafo Petro maa eyi mu daa hɔ bere a na ɔreka amanehunu a na ne mfɛfo gyidifo rehyia wɔ ne bere so ho asɛm no: “Ɔdom nyinaa Nyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa anuonyam no mu Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ munya hu amane kakra ansa a, obesiesie mo pɛ, ɔbɛma mo ase atim, ɔbɛhyɛ mo den.”—1 Petro 5:10.
Bere a Wɔbɛteɛteɛ Nneɛma
Yehowa ma yɛn ahoɔden a yɛde begyina sɔhwɛ ahorow ano mprempren. Ɔhyɛ bɔ nso sɛ ɔbɛyɛ “ade nyinaa foforo.” (Adiyisɛm 21:5) Yiw, ɛyɛ n’atirimpɔw sɛ ɔbɛma ne soro Ahenni asa wɔn a wɔadi dɛm nyinaa yare, na ahwɛ anyan awufo. Saa nniso no beyi onii a n’akwan yɛ akyewakyew ankasa—Satan Bonsam—nso afi hɔ. (Yohane 5:28, 29; Romafo 16:20; 1 Korintofo 15:26; 2 Petro 3:13) Sɛ Onyankopɔn bere a ɔde bɛteɛteɛ nneɛma no du a, hwɛ nhyira a ɛbɛyɛ ama nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa a wosuro Onyankopɔn no!
