Dɛn na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Asa de ne ho too Onyankopɔn so, na dɛn na efii mu bae?\n5 Fa no sɛ wo ne Asa. Etiopiani Sera de asraafo 1,000,000 ne nteaseɛnam 300 aba wo man Yuda so. (2 Be. 14:8-10) Nanso w’asraafo yɛ 580,000, bɛyɛ Etiopiafo no mu fã pɛ. Sɛ wuhu asraafodɔm saa sɛ wɔreba wo man so a, dɛn na wobɛyɛ? Wubebisa nea enti a Onyankopɔn ama kwan ma atamfo aba wo man so?

Bible ka sɛ “Asa yɛɛ nea ɛteɛ Yehowa ani so,” na na ‘ne koma di mũ wɔ Yehowa ho.’ (1 Ahe. 15:11, 14) Yɛn nso ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde koma mũ som Onyankopɔn na yɛatumi abɛn no nnɛ ne daakye nyinaa. Ɛyɛ yɛn dɛ paa sɛ Yehowa ankasa ka yɛn ba ne ho na ɔboa yɛn ma yɛne no fa adamfo a emu yɛ den.

(Gen. 3:15) Mfe pii akyi no, ɔsomafo Paulo daa Yehowa ase sɛ ‘ɔnam Kristo Yesu agyede no so abu yɛn bem.’ Paulo de kaa ho sɛ Onyankopɔn ‘de bɔne a wɔayɛ atwam no firii, bere a onyaa abotare no.’ (Rom. 3:21-26) Enti yɛrentumi nkwati Yesu mmɛn Onyankopɔn mma ɛnyɛ yiye.\n9 Yesu nko ara na nnipa ahobrɛasefo betumi afa no so ahu Yehowa na wabɛn no.

Yesu kae sɛ: “Obiara ntumi mma me nkyɛn gye sɛ Agya a ɔsomaa me no twe no.” Ɔsan kae sɛ: “Obiara mma Agya no nkyɛn gye sɛ ɔnam me so.” (Yoh. 6:44; 14:6) Ɔkwan bɛn na Yehowa fa Yesu so twe nkurɔfo ba ne nkyɛn na ɔboa wɔn ma wɔtena ne dɔ mu na wɔanya daa nkwa? Ɔnam honhom kronkron so. (Monkenkan Yuda 20, 21.) Yɛnhwɛ ɔkwan foforo a Yehowa fa so twe yɛn ba ne nkyɛn.\nYEHOWA NAM BIBLE SO TWE YƐN BA NE NKYƐN\n10.

Bible boa yɛn ma yehu Yehowa su ahorow ne n’atirimpɔw. Exodus 34:6, 7 ma yehu Yehowa su fɛfɛ no bi.
