10, 11. ?Pol i talem se hop blong yumi i sem mak long wanem samting, mo from wanem samting ya i stret nomo?

¹⁰ Aposol Pol i eksplenem se Jeova i mekem wan promes blong blesem olgeta man, mo se promes ya bambae i kamtru long laen blong Ebraham. Biaen, hem i eksplenem se: “I gat tufala tok blong God i stap, tok ya blong promes blong hem, wetem tok ya blong mekem promes ya i strong. Tufala tok ya i no save jenis, mo long tufala tok ya God i no save giaman. Yumi ya we yumi kam long sef ples finis, tufala tok ya i stap mekem tingting blong yumi i kam strong moa. Nao yumi save holem fasin ya we God i givim finis long yumi, we yumi putum tingting blong yumi i stap strong long promes blong hem. Fasin ya we yumi putum tingting blong yumi i stap strong blong kasem ol samting ya, hem i olsem wan angka blong holemtaet laef blong yumi. Hem i wan angka we i fas strong, we i no save muf.” (Hibrus 6:​17-​19; Jenesis 22:​16-​18) Hop blong ol tabu Kristin, hemia blong go laef blong olwe long heven. Tede, bighaf blong ol man blong Jeova oli gat nambawan hop ya blong laef foreva long paradaes long wol ya. (Luk 23:43) Sipos i no gat hop ya, man i no save gat bilif.

¹¹ Angka i wan samting we i impoten tumas. Hem i holemtaet sip blong i stap long wan ples mo i no drif i go. Olgeta sip we oli aot blong go long narafala ples, oli mas gat angka. Plante taem, ol sip we Pol i pas long olgeta, oli rek. Taswe, hem i save gud se oltaem, laef blong ol boskru i dipen long ol angka blong sip. (Ol Wok 27:​29, 39, 40; 2 Korin 11:25) Long faswan handred yia, ol sip oli no wok wetem enjin. From samting ya, kapten i no save stiarem sip i go long eni ples we hem i wantem. Sip i mas folem ples we win i stap blu i go long hem. Sam sip nomo we oli gat ol bigbigfala parel, oli save tanem blong go long eniples. Be sipos kapten blong sip we i no gat ol bigfala parel, i luk se win i stap tekem sip i go long rif, hem i save mekem wan samting nomo: hem i mas sakem angka. Kapten i trastem se ol angka ya bambae oli fas strong mo holemtaet sip ya i go kasem we win i jenis. Taswe, Pol i talem se hop blong wan Kristin i olsem ‘wan angka we i holem laef blong hem, we i fas strong, i no save muf.’ (Hibrus 6:​19) Taem ol strongfala win blong fasin agens no ol narafala hadtaem oli kasem yumi, nambawan hop blong yumi i olsem wan angka we bambae i mekem se yumi stap stret oltaem olsem ol man we i laef. Olsem nao, bambae sip blong yumi, we i minim bilif, bambae i no drif i go long soa, hemia tingting we i hafhaf, no long rif we i save mekem sip i draon, hemia apostasi.b​—Hibrus 2:1; Jud 8-​13.

12. ?Olsem wanem blong blokem fasin ya blong gowe long Jeova?

¹² Pol i givim woning long ol Hibru Kristin se: “Ol brata mo sista. Yufala i mas lukaot gud blong bambae i no gat wan long yufala we tingting blong hem i kam fulap long ol fasin nogud, nao hem i no save bilif long God ya we i laef, i stap we i stap, nao man ya bambae i girap, i gowe long hem.” (Hibru 3:​12) Long Grik hanraet, tok ya “gowe,” i minim se “stanap longwe.” Hemia nao fasin blong apostasi. Be, yumi save lukaot gud long sip blong yumi blong i no rek long rif. Nomata we yumi kasem ol bigfala hadtaem, bilif mo hop bambae i halpem yumi blong holemstrong long Jeova. (Dutronome 4:4; 30:19, 20) Bambae bilif blong yumi i no kam olsem sip we win i stap karem i go. I minim se ol tijing blong apostasi oli no save pulum yumi. (Efesas 4:​13, 14) Mo sipos hop blong yumi i olsem angka we i holemtaet yumi, bambae yumi naf blong winim ol hadtaem, nao bambae yumi kasem laef olsem ol man blong Jeova.

18. ?Wanem bambae i givhan long yumi blong stanap strong tru long ol samting we oli save traem bilif blong yumi long fiuja?

¹⁸ Bifo we yumi kasem niufala wol, bilif mo lav blong yumi i save kasem bigfala traem. Be Jeova i givim wan angka long yumi, we angka ya i ‘fas strong, mo i no save muf’​—hemia nambawan hop blong yumi. (Hibrus 6:​19; Rom 15:​4, 13) Taem ol man oli agensem yumi, no yumi kasem sam narafala hadtaem, yumi save stanap strong sipos yumi mekem hop blong yumi i olsem angka blong yumi. Taem yumi winim wan traem, be bifo we yumi kasem wan narafala traem, i gud we yumi gat strong tingting blong mekem hop mo bilif blong yumi i kam strong mo i stap strong oltaem.
