Mfe pii a atwam no, Ɔwɛn-Aban bi kaa sɛ: “Onipa a onim Onyankopɔn yiye no, sɛ ohyia ɔtaa a, ɔde ne ho to Onyankopɔn so koraa.” Saa asɛm yi yɛ nokware pa ara!

Sɛ worekenkan nea Yehowa aka ne nea wayɛ ho asɛm wɔ Bible mu a, bɔ mmɔden sɛ wubehu sɛ ɔdɔ wo pa ara.

Sɛ saa na w’adwene yɛ wo a, da biara da, nea ɛkyerɛ sɛ Yehowa ada mmɔborɔhunu ne ayamye adi akyerɛ wo no, bɔ mmɔden kyerɛw to hɔ.

Sɛ worebɔ mpae a, “hwie wo koma gu Yehowa anim sɛ nsu,” na ka nea wusuro ne nea agyaw wo adwinnwen no nyinaa kyerɛ w’Agya a ɔdɔ wo no. (Kwa. 2:19) Woyɛ saa a, ɛbɛboa wo sɛn? Wubenya “Onyankopɔn asomdwoe a ɛboro adwene nyinaa so” a Bible ka ho asɛm no. (Filip. 4:6, 7) Sɛ wokɔ so bɔ mpae saa a, wubehu pa ara sɛ woabɛn Yehowa kɛse.—Rom. 8:38, 39.

(Mmeb. 24:10; Heb. 2:15) Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu gyidi a wowɔ no, wobɛyɛ dɛn ahyɛ mu den nnɛ? Ɛbɔ ahorow a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ sɛ n’Ahenni no de bɛba ne nea enti a wubetumi anya awerɛhyem sɛ ɛbɛba mu no, fa yɛ wo botae sɛ wobɛyɛ ho nhwehwɛmu. Woyɛ saa a, ɛbɛboa wo sɛn?

Ɔkaa sɛ: “Esiane sɛ na mewɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no ho nimdeɛ na migye di sɛ ɛbɛba nti, m’adwenem anyɛ me nãã koraa da, na me gyidi nso anhinhim.” Sɛ wugye di pa ara sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ ahorow bɛbam a, wobɛbɛn Yehowa kɛse, na woremma ehu nkyekyere wo.—Mmeb. 3:25, 26.

Onuawa Mariya Fedun kaa sɛ: “Nnwom a ɛwɔ yɛn nnwom nhoma no mu a na yenim nyinaa, yɛtoe.” Ɔkaa sɛ, saa nnwom no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa nkuran na ɛboaa wɔn ma wɔbɛn Yehowa.

12 Dɛn na ɛmaa Dawid nyaa akokoduru saa? Ná ogye di pa ara sɛ Yehowa ka ne ho. (Kenkan 1 Samuel 17:37, 45-47.) Sɛ Dawid de ne ho toto Goliat a, na Dawid sua koraa, nanso ɛnyɛ ɛno na na ɔrehwɛ. Mmom, ohui sɛ, sɛ ɔde Goliat toto Yehowa ho a, na Goliat nsɛ hwee koraa. Dɛn na yesua fi saa asɛm yi mu? Wɔn a wɔsɔre tia yɛn no, yɛde wɔn toto ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ Nyankopɔn ho a, wɔnsɛ hwee. Sɛ yegye saa asɛm no di na yehu sɛ Yehowa ka yɛn ho a, ɛbɛma yɛanya akokoduru. (2 Be. 20:15; Dw. 16:8) Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn anya akokoduru kɛse nnɛ ansa na ɔtaa aba?
13. Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn anya akokoduru kɛse? Kyerɛkyerɛ mu.
