Ɛyɛ Satan, wiase a yɛte mu yi, ne yɛn ankasa sintɔ. Yɛn mu binom fii ase ne saa atamfo yi koe nyɛ nnɛ. Yehowa aboa yɛn ma yɛadi nkonim pii. Nanso, yennya nnii nkonim nwiei.

Ɔno na onim ade pɔtee a ebetumi aboa yɛn ma yɛanya boasetɔ. Bible ka sɛ: “Ɔbɛyɛ wɔn a wosuro no apɛde ama wɔn, na obetie wɔn sufrɛ na wagye wɔn.” (Dwom 145:19) Sɛ yɛbɔ mpae sɛ Onyankopɔn nhyɛ yɛn den mma yennya boasetɔ a, yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahu sɛ watie?\nYehowa nkutoo na onim yɛn tebea, na ɔno na onim ade pɔtee a ebetumi aboa yɛn ma yɛanya boasetɔ\n6.

Nanso mpɛn pii no, ɔhyɛ yɛn den ma yenya ‘boasetɔ kosi ase na yɛde anigye nya abodwokyɛre.’ (Kolosefo 1:11) Yehowa nim sɛnea yɛte paa; adwenem, ne biribiara mu.

Onyankopɔn tamfo Satan a ɔsɔre tia Yehowa tumidi no kasa tiaa no. Satan kyerɛe sɛ, sɛ nneɛma kɔ yiye ma nnipa a, ɛnna wɔsom Onyankopɔn. Satan kae sɛ: “Nea onipa wɔ nyinaa ɔde bɛma de agye ne kra.” Afei Satan kaa Hiob ho asɛm sɛ: “Sɛ wopɛ a, fa wo nsa ka ne dompe ne ne honam, na hwɛ sɛ ɔrennyina w’anim nnome wo anaa.” (Hiob 2:4, 5) Efi bere a Satan kaa saa asɛm no, wasesa anaa?
