Ububi baqala emhlabeni lapho uSathane eqamba amanga okuqala. USathane wayengemubi lapho edalwa. Wayeyingelosi ephelele, kodwa “akazange ame aqine eqinisweni.” (Johane 8:44) Waba nesifiso sokufuna ukukhulekelwa okungokukaNkulunkulu kuphela. Waqamba amanga kowesifazane wokuqala, u-Eva, futhi wamthonya ukuba alalele yena kunokuba alalele uNkulunkulu. U-Adamu wahlanganyela no-Eva ekungalalelini uNkulunkulu. Isinqumo sika-Adamu saletha ukuhlupheka nokufa.—Funda uGenesise 3:1-6, 17-19.
Lapho uSathane esikisela ukuba u-Eva angamlaleli uNkulunkulu, wayemenza avukele ubukhosi baKhe. Abantu abaningi baye bahlanganyela noSathane ekwenqabeni uNkulunkulu njengoMbusi. Ngakho, uSathane ‘usengumbusi waleli zwe.’—Funda uJohane 14:30; IsAmbulo 12:9.

Sekuyisikhathi eside uJehova ebekezelele ukuvukelwa kobukhosi bakhe. Kungani? Ukuze abonise ukuthi umzamo wokubusa ngaphandle kwakhe awubazuzisi abantu. (Jeremiya 10:23) Leli qiniso lisobala ngoba sekudlule iminyaka engu-6 000 abantu bezibusa. Ababusi abangabantu bahlulekile ukuqeda izimpi, ubugebengu, ukungabi nabulungisa nezifo.—Funda umShumayeli 7:29; 8:9; Roma 9:17.
Nokho, labo abamukela uNkulunkulu njengoMbusi bazizuzisa bona. (Isaya 48:17, 18) Maduze, uJehova uzobaqeda bonke ohulumeni babantu. Ngabantu abakhetha ukubuswa uNkulunkulu kuphela abayohlala emhlabeni.—Isaya 2:3, 4; 11:9; funda uDaniyeli 2:44.

USathane wathi akekho umuntu oyolalela uJehova ngobuqotho. Ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu kusinika ithuba lokuba sonke sibonise ukuthi sithanda ukubuswa uNkulunkulu noma umuntu. Indlela esiphila ngayo yiyo ebonisa ukuthi sikhetha kuphi.—Funda uJobe 1:8-11; IzAga 27:11.
5. Sibonisa kanjani ukuthi sifuna ukubuswa uNkulunkulu?
Sikhetha uNkulunkulu njengoMbusi ngokuzama ukuthola ukukhulekela kweqiniso okusekelwe eZwini lakhe, iBhayibheli, bese sinamathela kukho. (Johane 4:23) Siyakugwema nokuhileleka kwezombangazwe nasezimpini, njengoba kwenza uJesu.—Funda uJohane 17:14.
USathane usebenzisa amandla akhe ukuze akhuthaze ukuziphatha okubi nemikhuba eyingozi. Lapho senqaba imikhuba enjalo, abanye babangane bethu nezihlobo bangase basigcone noma basiphikise. (1 Petru 4:3, 4) Ngakho, kumelwe sikhethe. Ingabe siyozihlanganisa nabantu abathanda uNkulunkulu? Ingabe siyoyilalela imithetho yakhe ehlakaniphile nenothando? Uma senza kanjalo, siyobe sibonisa ukuthi uSathane wayeqamba amanga lapho ethi akekho umuntu oyolalela uNkulunkulu.—Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 6:9, 10; 15:33.
