Jesus Christ kyerɛkyerɛ hɛn mbrɛ yensi mbɔ bra, na Ɔnam No Werdambɔ na Owusoɛr do, Ɔma hɛn bɔnfakyɛ fi hɛn bɔn ho na bɛkyebo wɔ owu ekyir. Iyi yɛ nokwar koraakoraa.

Ɔkyerɛkyerɛ hɛn dɛ ɔmmfa ho sɛ yɛyɛ sikanyi anaa hianyi, okunyin anaa wonnyim hɛn, gɔsɔɔ anaa botooyɛfo. Mbom, hɛn ɔnnkyebo abrabɔ nye dɛ yɛbɛhyɛ hɛn gyedzi dzen wɔ Ewuradze Jesus Christ mu, dɛ yɛbɛsan mu eyi papa wɔ bɔn do, na yeesie Ne mbrasɛm. Hɛn enyi gye abɔdze nyansapɛ na eduryɛ edwindze afofor ho no, mbom Nyankopɔn no nokwar no tra nhwehwɛmu horow yinom.

Dza ɔkõ tsia mfesantsen nokwar no, nye dza ɔsɛ dza ɔyɛ nokwar na daa ɔtwe Nyankopɔn ne mba fi nokwar no ho. Ɔbɔnfo n’ekyingyesɛm no tse dɛmara daa. Tsie nsɛm yinom a, wɔkãa no mfe 2,000 a abɛsen kɔ no

“[Hom] nnkotum [ehu] ndzɛmba a hom nnyim ho hwee;… [Adzebiara a nyimpa yɛ no] nnyɛ bɔn.

“[Dza hom gye dzi no yɛ nkwasea amambra na] abɔdamdwen.’’⁷ Ɔtse dɛmara ndɛ, ɔnntse dɛm a?

Asɛmpa Nsan-ananmu do no, Nyankopɔn ama kwan a yebosũa na yeehu sunsum mu nokwar etsitsir: yebotum edua kyerɛwsɛm krɔnkrɔn, hɛn ankorankor mpaabɔ, hɛnara hɛn sũahu do, nkɔnhyɛfo atseasefo na asomafo hɔn afotu do, na Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn n’akwankyerɛ do, ɔno a obotum aboa hɛn ma “yeehu nokwar a ɔwɔ ndzɛmba nyinara mu.’’⁸

Yebotum ehu Nyankopɔn ne ndzɛmba ber a sunsum mu ara no yɛhwehwɛ. Paul kãa dɛ, “Obi nnyim Nyankopɔn ne ndzɛmba, gyedɛ ɔwɔ Nyankopɔn no Sunsum. … [Osiandɛ] wohu no sunsum mu.’’⁹

Hom nhwɛ Michael Murphy nsano mfonyin yi. Sɛ hom hwɛ fi ha a, hom nnkotum agye edzi dɛ ɔyɛ dza nyimpa n’enyiwa a adrɔnyi bi ayɛ. Naaso, sɛ hom hwɛ nsisii no fi beebi fofor a, hom hu adrɔnyi no n’abɔdze ne fɛw.

Dɛmara dɛ, sɛ yedua gyedzi enyi do hwɛ a yehu Nyankopɔn no sunsum mu nokwar no. Paul kãa dɛ, “Na honammunyi nngye Nyankopɔn Sunsum adze, osiandɛ ɔyɛ nkwaseasɛm ma no: na onntum nnhu mu, osiandɛ wohu no sunsum mu.”12¹⁰

Kyerɛwsɛm no, hɛn mpaabɔ, hɛnara hɛn sũahu, ndɛ da yi nkɔnhyɛfo, na Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn n’akyɛdze ma hɛn akwantu wɔ asaase do sunsum mu nhumu pefee a yehia.

Hom mma yendua gyedzi enyi do nhwɛ ebusua dawurbɔ no.

President Gordon B. Hinckley dze asɛm yi yii “Ebusua no: Dawurbɔ a wɔdze ma Wiadze’’ no enyim: “Ɔnam ator nsɛm a wɔdze rema dɛ nokwar no, ɔnam ndaadaa a ɔfa gyinapɛn na dza ɔsombo ho, ɔnam ndabraba na enyitsew kwan a wɔpɛ dɛ yɛfa wiadze nkekãa nyaano ntsi, yɛatse nkã dɛ yɛbɔ [hom] kɔkɔ.’’¹¹

Dawurbɔ no hyɛ ase dɛ: “Nyimpa nyinara—mbanyin na mbaa—wɔbɔɔ hɔn dɛ Nyankopɔn ne saso. Kor biara yɛ sor awofo hɔn sunsum mu dɔ babanyin anaa babaa, na dɛm ntsi, kor biara wɔ awosu na hyɛbea krɔnkrɔn.’’

Iyinom yɛ onnyiewiei nokwar. Emi na ɔwo ammbɔbɔ adze ara kwa.

Mepɛ nsɛnfua yinom: “Wɔ abrabɔ ansaana nyimpa reba asaase gyinabew mu no, nna sunsum mu mbabanyin na mbabaa nyim na wɔsoom Nyankopɔn dɛ hɔn Onnyiewiei Egya na wɔgyee Ne nhyehyɛɛ too mu.’’¹²

Nna yɛtse ase ansaana hɛn awoe. Hɛn ankorankor su no ka hɛn ho afebɔɔ. Akwan a yɛnntse ase yie mu no, hɛn sunsum mu nyinii wɔ hɔ no nya nhyɛdo wɔ ma yɛtse wɔ ha ho no do.¹² Yɛgyee Nyankopɔn ne nhyehyɛɛ too mu.

Dawurbɔ no kã no tɔɔtsen: “Yɛpaa mu kã dɛ kwan a wɔdze bɔ ɔnnkyebo nkwa dɛ ɔyɛ nhyehyɛɛ krɔnkrɔn. Yesi nkwa no krɔnkrɔnyɛ, na no ho hia tsitsir wɔ Nyankopɔn ne onnyiewiei nhyehyɛɛ mu pi.’’

Hɛn Egya ne nhyehyɛɛ no hyɛ kun na yer nkuran dɛ wɔmfa mba mbra wiadze na ɔhyɛ hɛn dɛ yɛnkasa ngye mba a wonyinsɛn hɔn no.

Sɛ yeyiyi mu na yɛsanmu yi dza yɛgye to mu wɔ dawurbɔ no mu a, yefura hɛn onnyiewiei adzehwɛ, a ɔdze awerɛhyɛmu mbordo to hɛn sũahu wɔ ha na seisei no do.

“Na hɛndze, yɛagye edzi na yenyim dɛ ɔwo nye Nyankopɔn, no Hotseweenyi no.’’²¹
