Monhwɛ wɔn so, ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ so, na mmom ɔdɔ so, sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ; ɛnyɛ adifudepɛ nti, na mmom koma a ɛpɛ nti; ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔn a wodi asafotow no so bakoma, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛso mma nguankuw no.” (1 Petro 5:1-3) Ma yɛnhwɛ sɛnea mpanyimfo a honhom kronkron apaw wɔn no betumi de afotu yi adi dwuma yiye.

9. Dɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ Kristoni guanhwɛfo ‘di Onyankopɔn asafotow no so bakoma’?

⁹ Petro kae nso sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo hwɛ Yehowa nkurɔfo a “ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔn a wodi [Onyankopɔn] asafotow no so bakoma, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛso mma nguankuw no.” Oguanhwɛfo a ɔwɔ ɔdɔ hwɛ yiye sɛ ɔremfa tumi a ɔwɔ no nni dwuma wɔ ɔkwan a ɛnteɛ so denam te a ɔbɛte nka sɛ ɔkorɔn na wadi nguan no so bakoma no so. Ahantan honhom nye, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsɔ Yehowa ani nyinaa kwati. Mmebusɛm 21:4 se: “Ani a ɛtra ntɔn ne koma a ɛhoran, abɔnefo kanea, ɛyɛ bɔne.” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ n’akyidifo sɛ: “Munim sɛ wiase amanaman ahene di wɔn so sɛ awuranom, na wɔn mu akɛse no di wɔn so tumi. Na ɛnte saa mo mu, na mmom obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo mu kɛse no, ɔnyɛ mo somfo, na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ odi mo kan no, ɔnyɛ mo akoa.” (Mateo 20:25-27) Ampa, ɛsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo kae sɛ nguankuw no yɛ Onyankopɔn nguan, na ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi wɔn ho dwuma wɔ kateeyɛ mu.

¹⁰ Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Hesekiel bere so nguanhwɛfo a na wɔn ankasa ho na wɔsom no sɛ: “Wɔn a wɔagurow no, monhyɛ wɔn den, na ayarefo nso, monsa wɔn yare; nea wabubu no, monkyekyere no, nea wɔapam no no, monkɔfa no mma, na nea wayera no, monhwehwɛ no, na mmom ɔhyɛ ne atirimɔden na mode di wɔn so.” Onyankopɔn kɔɔ so kae sɛ na nguanhwɛfo atirimɔdenfo no ‘pempem ayarefo no nyinaa kosi sɛ wɔbɛpansam.’ (Hesekiel 34:4, 20, 21) Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ “Onyankopɔn nguankuw” no so ahwɛfo ho nnɛ. Wɔmfa tumi a wɔwɔ no nhoahoa wɔn ho na wɔhwɛ yiye sɛ wɔrento nguan no biara hintidua (Fa toto Marko 9:42 ho.) Mmom no, mpanyimfo yi de mmoa ne nkuranhyɛ a efi ɔdɔ mu ma.
