“ƆKA nnipa a Bible ka wɔn ho asɛm no ho asɛm te sɛ nea wɔyɛ ne nnamfo dedaw.” Kristoni bea bi na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi bere a otiee baguam kasa a ɔhwɛfo kwantufo bi a ne mfe akɔ anim mae no. Ɛfata sɛ ɔkaa saa, efisɛ onua no de mfe pii asua Onyankopɔn Asɛm no, na ɔde akyerɛkyerɛ nkurɔfo araa ma enti mmarima ne mmea a wɔwɔ gyidi a Bible ka wɔn ho asɛm no abɛyɛ te sɛ ne nnamfo a ɔne wɔn abɔ wɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa mu.

Wo de, hwɛ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ anigye sɛ yɛne mmarima ne mmea bi te sɛ Noa, Abraham, Rut, Elia, ne Ester betu mpase, na yɛne wɔn abɔ nkɔmmɔ ma yɛahu wɔn yiye.

(Aso. 24:15) Nanso, ɛnnɛ mpo, sɛ yesua mmarima ne mmea a wɔwɔ gyidi a Bible ka wɔn ho asɛm no ho ade a, yebetumi anya so mfaso. Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn atumi ayɛ saa? Ɔsomafo Paulo ma yɛn mmuae a ɛfata yi sɛ: ‘Munsuasua wɔn a wɔnam gyidi ne boasetɔ so nya bɔhyɛ ahorow no.’ (Heb. 6:12) Bere a yɛrebesua mmarima ne mmea a na wɔwɔ gyidi no ho nsɛm no, momma yensusuw nsɛmmisa kakra a asɛm a Paulo kae no ma ɛsɔre no ho nhwɛ: Dɛn koraa ne gyidi, na dɛn nti na yehia?

4. Adwene bɛn na nnipa binom wɔ wɔ gyidi ho, na dɛn nti na ɛyɛ mfomso sɛ wobesusuw saa?
4 Gyidi yɛ su a obiara ani gye ho; ɛyɛ su a na ɛsom bo paa ma mmarima ne mmea a yɛrebesua wɔn ho ade wɔ nhoma yi mu no. Ɛnnɛ, gyidi ho nhia nnipa pii, na wosusuw sɛ ɛkyerɛ ahotoso a wubenya wɔ biribi mu kɛkɛ. Nanso, ɛyɛ mfomso koraa sɛ wobesusuw saa. Gyidi nkyerɛ sɛ wubegye asɛm biara atom kɛkɛ; ɛnyɛ atenka biara kwa; gyidi kɔ akyiri sen saa koraa. Asiane wom sɛ wubegye asɛm biara atom kɛkɛ. Sɛnea wote nka wɔ biribi ho Yak. 2:19.

5 Gyidi a edi mũ kɔ akyiri koraa sen sɛ wubegye asɛm biara atom kɛkɛ. Kae sɛnea Bible kyerɛkyerɛ gyidi mu no. (Monkenkan Hebrifo 11:1.) Paulo kae sɛ, gyidi gyina nneɛma abien a yɛn aniwa ntumi nhu so. Nea edi kan, egyina nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ ankasa a seesei “yenhu” no so. Yentumi mfa yɛn ani kann nhu nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ ankasa wɔ soro—te sɛ Yehowa Nyankopɔn, ne Ba no, anaa Ahenni a seesei ɛredi tumi wɔ soro no. Nea ɛto so abien, gyidi gyina “biribi a yɛn ani da so”—nsɛm a ennya nsisii—so. Seesei yentumi nhu wiase foforo a ɛrenkyɛ Onyankopɔn Ahenni de bɛba no. So eyi kyerɛ sɛ gyidi a yɛwɔ wɔ saa nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ ankasa ne nneɛma a yɛn ani da so mu no nni nnyinaso?
6 Ɛnte saa koraa! Paulo kyerɛkyerɛɛ mu sɛ gyidi wɔ nnyinaso a edi mũ ankasa. Bere a ɔkae sɛ gyidi yɛ “awerɛhyem a yɛde twɛn” no, ɔde Hebri asɛm bi a yebetumi akyerɛ ase sɛ “adanse krataa” na edii dwuma. Fa no sɛ obi aka sɛ ɔde ofie bi bɛma wo. Obetumi de ɛho adanse krataa no ama wo na waka sɛ, “Wo fie foforo no ni.” Nokwarem no, sɛ ɔka saa a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ krataa no yɛ ofie a wubetumi atu akɔtena mu; na mmom nea ɔrepɛ akyerɛ ara ne sɛ krataa no di mũ araa ma enti bere a wo nsa aka no ɛte sɛ nea wo nsa aka ofie no ankasa. Saa ara na nneɛma a yɛn gyidi gyina so no di mũ araa ma enti yebetumi aka sɛ ɛte sɛ yɛn gyidi ankasa.

7 Enti, gyidi a edi mũ a yebenya no hwehwɛ sɛ yenya nneɛma a Yehowa Nyankopɔn ayɛ wɔ mmere a atwam no mu ahotoso koraa a yɛrenhinim. Gyidi ma yehu Onyankopɔn sɛ yɛn Agya a ɔwɔ ɔdɔ, na ɛma yenya ahotoso sɛ ne bɔhyɛ ahorow nyinaa bɛbam. Nanso, gyidi a edi mũ kɔ akyiri sen saa. Gyidi te sɛ abɔde a nkwa wom, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛma no aduan na anwu. Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ yɛn gyidi, sɛ yɛamfa anyɛ adwuma a, ebewu.—Yak. 2:26.

9. Dɛn na Yehowa ayɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ onim sɛ yehia gyidi?
9 Yehowa nim sɛ yehia gyidi paa ma enti wama yɛn nhwɛso a ɛbɛboa yɛn ma yɛahu ɔkwan a yɛbɛfa so anya gyidi na yɛada no Heb. 13:7) Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko na ɔde ama yɛn.
