So kyerɛw nsɛm a ɛwɔ atifi hɔ no kyerɛ ankasa sɛ yɛn adɔfo a wɔawuwu no te ase retwɛn yɛn wɔ soro mprempren? Momma yensusuw kyerɛw nsɛm no ho yiye, nea edi kan no Ɔsɛnkafo 12:7. Ɛda adi pefee sɛ, na ɛnyɛ onyansafo a ɔkyerɛw saa nsɛm no adwene ne sɛ ɔde rebɔ nea na wadi kan aka wɔ saa Bible mu nhoma koro no ara mu no abira: “Na ateasefo nim sɛ wobewuwu, na awufo de, wonnim biribiara.” (Ɔsɛnkafo 9:5) Ná ɔreka adesamma nyinaa wu ho asɛm. So ntease wom sɛ wubegye adi sɛ wɔn a wonnye Nyankopɔn nni koraa ne amumɔyɛfo nyinaa bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn bere a wɔawuwu? Ntease biara nnim.

Ɛnde, dɛn na na Bible kyerɛwfo no kyerɛ bere a ɔkae sɛ owu mu no, ‘honhom no san kɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn’ no?

(Fa 1 Ahene 4:20-25 toto Luka 19:11; 24:21 ne Asomafo no Nnwuma 1:6 ho.) Bio nso, ɔdebɔneyɛfo no daa Yesu mu gyidi adi sɛ ɔne Nea Onyankopɔn apaw no a obedi Hene no. Nanso, wu a na Yesu rebewu sɛ obi a wɔabu no kumfɔ no maa eyi bɛyɛɛ te sɛ nea entumi nyɛ yiye.

Na Yesu bɛka ɔbarima no ho denam n’ahiade nyinaa a Ɔbɛboa no ama wanya, a n’asetra kwan a ɔbɛma ɛne Onyankopɔn trenee mmara ahyia ka ho.

Te sɛ nsɛmmɔnedifo a ɔsakrae no de no, nnipa dodow no ara wusɔre besi wɔ asase so ha. Eyi ne atirimpɔw nti a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa no hyia. Wɔde ɔbarima ne ɔbea a wodi kan no too paradise turom na wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnhyɛ asase no so. Sɛ wɔyɛɛ osetie maa Onyankopɔn a, anka wɔrennyinyin mmobɔ nkwakora ne mmerewa na wɔawuwu. Wɔ Onyankopɔn bere a ɛsɛ mu no, anka Adam ne n’asefo a wɔyɛ pɛ bɛhyɛ asase nyinaa so mã, ma wiase nyinaa adan paradise.—Genesis 1:28; 2:8, 9.
Nanso, esiane sɛ Adam ne Hawa boapa yɛɛ bɔne nti, wɔde owu baa wɔne wɔn asefo so. (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:17-19) Ɛno nti na Bible no ka sɛ: “Sɛnea ɛnam onipa biako [Adam] so na bɔne baa wiase, na owu nam bɔne so bae no, saa na ɛyɛe na owu trɛw kaa nnipa nyinaa, efisɛ wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne.”—Romafo 5:12.

Yiw, enti wubetumi anya anidaso sɛ wubehyia w’adɔfo a wɔawuwu no bio, nanso eyi hwehwɛ sɛ wunya Yesu mu gyidi sɛ wo Gyefo na wutie no sɛ Onyankopɔn Hene a wapaw no.
