27 “Orait Jeremaia, yu mas autim olgeta dispela tok long ol Israel, tasol bai ol i no harim tok. Yu mas singaut long ol, tasol bai ol i no bekim singaut bilong yu. 28 Na yu mas tokim ol olsem, ‘Lain bilong yupela i no bin bihainim tok bilong God, Bikpela bilong yupela, na ol i no larim God i stretim ol. Ol i no moa bihainim pasin bilong tok tru. Ol i lusim dispela pasin olgeta.’ ”
Ol manmeri i go long ples daun Hinom na mekim pasin nogut

“TOK EM YET I GOD”
Jon 1:1 i tok: “Bipo bipo tru, taim olgeta samting i no kamap yet, Tok i stap. Tok i stap wantaim God na Tok em yet i God.” Long wankain sapta, aposel Jon i kamapim klia olsem “Tok” em i Jisas. (Jon 1:14) Buk Baibel i kamapim olsem Tok em i God, olsem na sampela i ting Pikinini na Papa i mas insait long wanpela God.

Tasol planti man bilong tanim tok bilong Baibel ol i no tanim dispela tok olsem “Tok em yet i God.” Bilong wanem ol i no mekim? Ol dispela man bilong tanim tok i save long tok Grik ol i bin raitim Baibel long en, ol i ting ol i mas tanim “Tok em yet i God” long narapela rot. Tanim olsem wanem?

Na tu, olsem Jon 17:3 i kamapim, Jisas i soim olsem em i narapela na Papa bilong em long heven i narapela. Em i kolim Papa bilong em olsem “yu wanpela tasol yu God tru.” Na klostu long pinis bilong Gutnius bilong em, Jon i tok: “Dispela tok mi raitim, em mi raitim bai yupela i ken bilip long Jisas em dispela man God i makim bilong kisim bek ol manmeri bilong en. Em i Pikinini Bilong God.” (Jon 20:31) Dispela ves i no tok Jisas em i God, nogat, em i tok Jisas em i Pikinini Bilong God. Ol dispela narapela tok i stap long Gutnius Jon i Raitim i helpim yumi long kliagut long mining bilong tok bilong Jon 1:1.

Aposel Pita i tok: “Yupela i mas senisim tingting nogut bilong yupela, na tanim bel, na bai God i rausim ol sin bilong yupela.” (Aposel 3:19) Pasin bilong tanim bel i makim olsem man i bel hevi tru long samting em i bin mekim.

?Wanem ol mak we man i mas kasem blong kam naf blong tekem baptaes?
?Olsem wanem man i givim laef blong hem long God?
?Wanem risen nao we i mas pusum man blong baptaes?
1. ?From wanem man Itiopia ya i askem sipos hem i save baptaes?
“YU LUK, hemia wan wota. ?Wanem nao i blokem mi, blong mi no save baptaes?” Hemia kwestin blong wan man Itiopia we hem i wok blong kwin blong kantri blong hem, long faswan handred yia. Wan Kristin man we nem blong hem Filip i pruvum long man ya se Jisas nao hem i Mesaea we God i bin promes blong sanem i kam. Ol tok blong Baebol oli tajem hat blong man Itiopia ya, nao hem i wantem mekem wan samting. !Hem i talem se hem i wantem baptaes!
2. ?From wanem yu mas tinghevi long baptaes?
2 Sipos wan Witnes blong Jehova i mekem wan dip stadi finis wetem yu long ol narafala japta blong buk ya, maet yu tu yu stap askem se, ‘?Wanem nao i stap blokem mi, blong mi no save baptaes?’ Yu yu save finis promes blong Baebol se man i save laef olwe long wan Paradaes. (Luk 23:43; Revelesen 21:
3. (a) ?Wanem oda we Jisas i givim long ol man blong hem? (b) ?Man i mas baptaes olsem wanem?
3 ?Olsem wanem yu soem se yu yu wantem mekem wok blong God? Jisas i talem long ol man blong hem se: “Yufala i mas go long ol man long olgeta ples long wol, blong pulum olgeta oli kam man blong mi. Mo yufala i mas baptaesem olgeta.” (Matiu 28:19) Jisas i soem eksampol taem hem i baptaes long wota. Oli no jes saksakem smol wota antap long hed blong hem, mo oli no kafsaedem wota long hed blong hem nomo. (Matiu 3:16) Tok ya “baptaes” i kamaot long wan tok long lanwis Grik we i minim “draonem.” Taswe, baptaes blong ol Kristin i minim se man i mas draon fulwan long wota.
4. ?Baptaes long wota i blong soemaot wanem?

(Kolosi 1:9) Long saed ya, wan samting we i save givhan bigwan long yu hemia ol miting blong kongregesen blong ol Witnes blong Jehova. I impoten tumas blong joen long ol miting ya. (Hibrus 10:
6. ?Yu mas gat hamas save blong Baebol bifo we yu baptaes?
6 Yu yu no nidim blong save evri samting long Baebol blong yu kam naf blong tekem baptaes. Man Itiopia ya i gat sam save, be hem i nidim help blong kasem save long sam narafala haf blong Baebol. (Ol Wok 8:

7 Be save nomo i no naf. “Sipos man i no bilif strong long God, hem i no save mekem God i glad long hem.” (Hibrus 11:6) Baebol i talem se taem ol man long taon blong Korin bifo, oli harem gud nius we ol Kristin oli stap talemaot, sam long olgeta ‘oli bilif, mo oli baptaes.’ (Ol Wok 18:8) Long sem fasin, taem yu stadi Baebol samting ya i mas mekem we yu yu bilif moa se hemia Tok blong God. Stadi long Baebol i mas halpem yu blong bilif long ol promes blong God mo blong bilif se sakrefaes blong Jisas i gat paoa blong sevem yu.

Sloslo, ating bambae yu wantem joen long wok blong prij wetem ol Witnes blong Jehova. Long taem ya bambae yu mas toktok wetem Witnes ya we i stap tijim yu long Baebol.

TANEM TINGTING MO LEGO OLFALA LAEF

12 I gat sam narafala mak blong kasem bifo we yu kam naf blong baptaes. Aposol Pita i talem se: “Yufala i mas tanem tingting blong yufala from ol sin blong yufala, mo yufala i mas luk long God [“tanraon,” NW ] blong hem bambae i tekemaot ol sin blong yufala.” (Ol Wok 3:19) Taem yu tanem tingting hemia i min se yu rili sore from samting nogud we yu bin mekem. Tanem tingting i stret long man we i bin mekem plante rabis fasin long laef blong hem, be i stret tu long man we maet i bin mekem gudfala fasin. ?From wanem? From we olgeta man oli sinman mo oli nidim we God i fogivim olgeta. (Rom 3:23; 5:12) Bifo we yu yu stadi long Baebol, yu no bin save wanem samting we God i wantem. From we yu no gat save ya, ating laef blong yu i no rili bin laenap fulwan wetem wanem we God i wantem. Taswe, i nidim blong yu yu tanem tingting.

Ale, tingbaot wanem i pusum wan man blong mekem bigfala desisen ya blong mared long wan woman. Maet man ya i bin luk ol gudfala fasin blong woman ya.

Taswe, bifo we yu save baptaes, yu mas gat tingting ya finis se bigfala risen from wanem yu yu stap laef i blong mekem wok blong Jehova God.

(Prija 5:4) Afta we yu givim laef blong yu i go long hem, i sua se bambae yu wantem ‘mekem laef blong yu i kam stret gud olsem we Jehova i wantem.’ (Kolosi 1:10) From we yu yu lavem God, bambae yu no gat tingting ya se i had tumas blong mekem ol samting we hem i askem.

23 Jisas i talem se ol disaepol blong hem bambae oli baptaes ‘long nem blong Papa, mo long nem blong Pikinini, mo long nem blong tabu spirit.” (Matiu 28:19) Hemia i min se man we i baptaes i luksave posisen blong Jehova God mo Jisas Kraes.

CHAPTER SIXTIN
Strong for Followim Tru Worship
Wanem nao Bible hem sei abaotem wei for iusim olketa idol and worshipim olketa laen dadi?
Hao nao tingting bilong olketa Christian abaotem olketa celebration bilong religion?
Hao nao iu savve explainim long narawan biliv bilong iu long wei wea no mekem hem feel nogud?
1, 2. Bihaen iu lusim false religion, wanem kwestin nao iu mas askem iuseleva, and long tingting bilong iu, why nao datwan hem important?
TINGIM sapos iu faendemaot hao samwan poisonim olketa ples wea iu go for tekem wata, and from iu drinkim datfala wata, laef bilong iu stap long danger. So wanem nao bae iu duim? Maet iu go stap long difren ples sapos iu savve duim datwan. Bat nomata iu duim datwan, iu mas tingim wanfala important kwestin, ‘Waswe, poison hia hem spoelem mi finis?’
2 Hem olsem tu saed long false religion. Bible teachim hao kaen false worship olsem hem fulap witim olketa teaching and samting wea no klin and wea savve spoelem man. (2 Corinthians 6:
OLKETA IDOL AND WEI FOR WORSHIPIM OLKETA LAEN DADI
3. (a) Wanem nao Bible hem sei abaotem wei for iusim olketa idol, and why nao hem savve hard for samfala acceptim tingting bilong God abaotem olketa idol? (b) Wanem nao iu shud duim sapos iu garem eni samting wea join witim false worship?
3 Maet samfala garem olketa idol long haos bilong olketa for plande year finis. Waswe, iu garem olketa idol tu? Sapos olsem, maet long tingting bilong iu, wei for no iusim olketa samting hia for prea long God hem rong. Maet olketa samting hia hem barava important long iu. Bat God nao talem iumi hao for worshipim hem, and Bible teachim iumi hao hem no laekem iumi for iusim olketa idol. (Exodus 20:
4. (a) Hao nao iu savve wei for worshipim olketa laen dadi hem iusles? (b) Why nao Jehovah tambuim olketa Israelite for duim spiritism?
4 Wei for worshipim olketa laen dadi hem samting wea pipol long plande religion duim. Bifor samfala lanem truth from Bible, olketa bilivim hao olketa wea dae go stap long wanfala ples and olketa savve helpem or spoelem olketa wea laef yet. Maet bifor, iu barava traem best bilong iu for mekem olketa laen dadi bilong iu hapi. Bat iu lanem finis long Chapter 6 bilong disfala buk hao olketa wea dae no gohed for laef long eni ples. So hem iusles for trae story witim olketa. Maet hem luk olsem wanfala message hem kam from wanfala relative wea dae finis, bat really, datwan kam from olketa demon. Dastawe Jehovah tambuim olketa Israelite for trae story witim olketa wea dae finis or for join insaed eni wei for duim spiritism.
5. Wanem nao iu savve duim sapos iu iusim olketa idol or worshipim olketa laen dadi bifor?
5 Sapos iu worshipim olketa laen dadi or olketa idol bifor, wanem nao iu savve duim? Readim and ting raonem olketa part bilong Bible wea showimaot tingting bilong Jehovah abaotem olketa samting hia. Talem Jehovah evriday hao iu laek for strong for tru worship, and askem hem for helpem iu garem sem tingting olsem hem.
OLKETA FIRST CHRISTIAN NO CELEBRATEM CHRISTMAS
6, 7. (a) Pipol sei Christmas hem for celebratem wanem, and waswe, olketa follower bilong Jesus long taem bilong hem celebratem datwan? (b) Long taem bilong olketa disaepol bilong Jesus, olketa birthday celebration join witim olketa wanem samting?
6 Wanfala wei wea false religion savve mekem worship bilong iumi dirty hem saed long samfala celebration wea olketa markem. Olsem example, tingim Christmas. Olketa sei Christmas hem for celebratem birthday bilong Jesus Christ, and klosap evri religion wea sei olketa Christian celebratem datwan. Bat no eni pruv stap for sei olketa disaepol long taem bilong Jesus celebratem datwan. Datfala buk Sacred Origins of Profound Things hem sei: “For tu handred year bihaen Christ hem born, no eniwan savve, and only tu-thri pipol nomoa interest long barava day wea hem born.”
7 Nomata sapos olketa disaepol bilong Jesus savve long barava day wea hem born, olketa bae hard for celebratem datwan. Why nao olsem? Bikos olsem The World Book Encyclopedia hem talem, olketa first Christian “ting long wei for celebratem birthday bilong samwan olsem wanfala kastom bilong olketa heathen.” Bible storyim samfala wea celebratem birthday bilong olketa, bat olketa hia olketa ruler wea no worshipim Jehovah. (Genesis 40:20; Mark 6:21) Olketa celebratem olketa birthday for honorim olketa heathen god tu. Olsem example, long May 24 olketa bilong Rome celebratem birthday bilong datfala woman god Diana. Long next day, olketa celebratem birthday bilong Apollo, wea hem nao sun-god bilong olketa. So olketa birthday celebration join witim olketa heathen kastom, no witim Christian Wei.
8. Explainim wei wea olketa birthday celebration join witim olketa kastom samting.
8 Narafala reason hem stap for why olketa Christian long taem bilong Jesus no celebratem birthday bilong hem. Masbi olketa disaepol bilong hem savve hao olketa birthday celebration join witim olketa kastom samting. Olsem example, plande pipol long Greece and Rome bifor bilivim hao wanfala spirit stap taem each man hem born and datfala spirit protectim hem for full laef bilong hem. Olketa wea no Christian long datfala taem celebratem olketa birthday bikos olketa tingse wei for duim olsem bae mekem olketa god bilong olketa protectim man wea olketa celebratem birthday bilong hem. Hard for Jehovah hapi witim eni celebration wea joinim Jesus witim olketa kastom samting. (Isaiah 65:11, 12) So why nao staka pipol celebratem Christmas?
HAO CHRISTMAS HEM START
9. Why nao olketa markem December 25 olsem day for celebratem wei wea Jesus hem born?
9 Pipol start for celebratem Christmas plande handred year bihaen Jesus hem laef long earth. Olketa celebratem datwan long December 25. Bat datwan hem no day wea Jesus born. So why nao olketa chusim December 25? Luk olsem samfala wea bihaen olketa sei olketa Christian “laekem for datfala date mas long semtaem olsem datfala heathen festival bilong Roman pipol bifor, wea hem for celebratem ‘birthday bilong sun.’” (The New Encyclopædia Britannica) Long cold season olketa heathen long olketa kantri long Europe and Middle East garem olketa celebration for mekem laet and hot bilong sun hem strong bak. Olketa duim diswan bikos olketa lukim gogo bilong sun long skae hem isisi change and muv awe from olketa and olketa laekem hem for kam bak. Long tingting bilong olketa, December 25 hem day wea sun hem start for muv kam bak long ples long skae wea hem stap long hot season. For mekem olketa heathen hia willing for kamap Christian, olketa bigman bilong church mekem datfala heathen idea kamap part bilong worship, and olketa trae for mekem hem luk olsem datwan hem wanfala “Christian” celebration. *
10. Long bifor kam, why nao samfala pipol no celebratem Christmas?
10 For longfala taem finis, pipol savve hao Christmas hem kam from olketa heathen celebration. From Christmas no kam from Bible, olketa tambuim datwan long England and samfala colony long America long mek-17 century. Olketa strict tumas long diswan, dastawe nomata sapos man hem just stap long haos and no waka long Christmas day, hem mas peim compensation. Bat no longtaem bihaen, olketa start for followim moa olketa samting wea join witim Christmas, and tu, samfala niu samting wea olketa addim go long datfala celebration. Gogo, Christmas kamap wanfala barava important celebration, and kam kasem distaem, hem barava big samting yet long plande kantri. Bat from Christmas hem join witim false religion, olketa wea laek for mekem God hapi no celebratem datwan or eni nara celebration wea kam from worship bilong olketa heathen bifor. *
WASWE, WEI WEA HEM START HEM IMPORTANT?
11. Why nao samfala pipol celebratem olketa samting olsem Christmas, bat wanem nao shud moa important long iumi winim eni nara samting?
11 Samfala agree hao olketa celebration olsem Christmas kam from olketa heathen samting, nomata olsem, long tingting bilong olketa hem no rong for celebratem olketa. Tru nao, klosap evriwan wea celebratem olketa samting hia no tingim hao datwan hem join witim false worship. And tu, olketa celebration hia givim chance for olketa member bilong famili hipap and enjoyim lelebet hapitaem tugeta. Waswe, hem nao wei wea iu ting long diswan? Sapos olsem, maet samting wea mekem hem hard for lusim olketa celebration hia and followim tru worship, hem wei wea iu lovem tumas famili bilong iu, no wei for lovem false religion. Jehovah nao startim famili arrangement and iu savve sure hao hem laekem iu for stap gud witim olketa relative bilong iu. (Ephesians 3:
12. Givim example wea helpem iumi minim why iumi shud stap klia long olketa kastom and celebration wea kam from olketa samting wea no klin.
12 Maet long tingting bilong iu, reason why olketa startim wanfala celebration bifor hem difren from reason why pipol celebratem datwan distaem. Waswe, reason why olketa startim wanfala celebration firstaem hem important? Ia! Tingim sapos iu lukim wanfala loli long drain. Waswe, bae iu aotem from drain and kaikaim? Barava nomoa nao! Datfala loli hem dirty. Olsem datfala loli, maet hem luk olsem olketa celebration bilong world olketa swit and naes, bat really, olketa kam from olketa samting wea no klin. For kamap strong for tru worship, iumi need for garem sem tingting olsem profet Isaiah, wea sei olsem long olketa tru worshiper: “No tasim eni samting wea no klin.”
GAREM FASIN FOR LUKSAVVE TAEM IU DEAL WITIM NARAWAN
13. Wanem nao maet samfala hard samting wea kamap taem iu no join insaed samfala celebration?
13 Maet iu feisim samfala hard samting taem iu chus for no join insaed samfala celebration. Olsem example, taem olketa long ples wea iu waka lukim hao iu no joinim olketa long samfala celebration, maet olketa konfius. Waswe sapos olketa laek givim iu wanfala Christmas present? Waswe, hem rong for acceptim datwan? Waswe sapos marit partner bilong iu no garem olketa sem biliv olsem iu? Hao nao iu savve mek sure olketa pikinini bilong iu no feel olsem olketa missim gud samting from olketa no join insaed olketa celebration olsem?
14, 15. Wanem nao iu savve duim sapos samwan talem “Hapi Christmas” long iu or hem laek givim wanfala present long iu?
14 Fasin for luksavve bae helpem iu savve long best wei for deal witim olketa samting wea kamap. Sapos hem wei bilong pipol for sei “Hapi Christmas,” or olketa nara toktok olsem, maet iu savve talem thankiu nomoa long olketa. Bat waswe sapos iu mas deal witim samwan wea iu lukim or waka witim evritaem? Maet iu disaed for talem moa samting long hem. Evritaem, iumi mas tingim feeling bilong man. Bible talem disfala advaes: “Toktok bilong iufala mas kaenfala evritaem, garem salt, mekem iufala savve hao for givim ansa long each wan.” (Colossians 4:6) Careful for no talem samting wea mekem man tingse iu no respectim hem. Bat explainim why iu no duim datwan. Explainim long kliafala wei hao iu no againstim wei for enjoyim hapitaem and wei for givim present, bat iu disaed for duim olketa samting hia long olketa narataem, no long datfala day.
15 Waswe sapos samwan laek for givim wanfala present long iu? Diswan bae depend long wanem nao happen. Maet datfala man hem sei: “Mi savve iu no celebratem diswan. Nomata olsem, mi laek for givim iu disfala present.” Maet iu disaedem hao wei for acceptim datfala present hem no olsem wei for tekpart long datfala celebration. Sapos datfala man no savve gud long why iu no tekpart, maet iu savve explainim datwan long hem. For duim olsem bae helpem hem minim why iu no givim wanfala present long hem. Long narasaed, hem bae no wise for acceptim wanfala present sapos hem klia hao man givim datwan bikos hem laek pruvim iu no strong for followim samting iu bilivim, and hao iu bae isi nomoa for brekem faith bilong iu for kasem material samting.
WASWE LONG OLKETA FAMILI MEMBER?
16. Hao nao iu savve tingim feeling bilong pipol saed long olketa celebration bilong false religion?
16 Waswe sapos olketa long famili no garem sem biliv olsem iu? Iu mas isisi witim olketa. Iu no need for argue abaotem evri samting wea olketa relative bilong iu laek for celebratem. Iu laekem olketa for respectim tingting and biliv bilong iu, so iu mas respectim tingting and biliv bilong olketa tu. (Matthew 7:
17. Hao nao iu savve helpem pikinini bilong iu for no feel olsem hem missim gud samting taem hem lukim olketa narawan join insaed samfala celebration?
17 Wanem nao iu savve duim sapos olketa pikinini bilong iu feel olsem olketa missim gud samting from wei wea iufala no join insaed olketa celebration hia? Diswan bae barava depend long wanem iu duim long olketa narataem insaed year. Samfala parents markem olketa narafala taem for givim present long olketa pikinini. Wanfala best present wea iu savve givim long pikinini bilong iu, hem love and taem bilong iu.
FOLLOWIM TRU WORSHIP
18. Hao nao wei for attendim olketa Christian meeting savve helpem iu for strong for followim tru worship?
18 For mekem God hapi, iu mas rejectim false worship and strong for followim tru worship. Hao nao iu savve duim diswan? Bible hem sei: “Iumi mas tingim and muvim each other for showimaot love and duim gudfala waka, no lusim wei for hipap tugeta, olsem fasin bilong samfala, bat encouragem each other, and duim long wei wea moa big taem iufala lukim hao datfala day hem kakam moa klos.” (Hebrews 10:24, 25) Iu bae hapi taem iu attendim olketa Christian meeting wea givim iu chance for worshipim God long wei wea hem acceptim. (Psalm 22:22; 122:1) Long olketa meeting olsem, olketa faithful Christian savve “encouragem each other.”
19. Why nao hem important for story witim olketa narawan abaotem olketa samting iu lanem from Bible?
19 Narafala wei wea iu savve showimaot iu strong for tru worship hem for story long olketa narawan abaotem olketa samting iu lanem from wei wea iu studyim Bible witim Olketa Jehovah’s Witness. Tru nao, staka pipol “feel nogud and krae” bikos long olketa wicked samting wea gohed long world distaem. (Ezekiel 9:4) Maet iu savve long samfala pipol olsem. Hao sapos iu trae for story long olketa abaotem Bible hope bilong iu for future? Taem iu kaban witim olketa tru Christian and story witim olketa narawan abaotem olketa nambawan samting wea iu lanem from Bible, bae iu faendem hao eni feeling bilong iu for laek followim yet olketa samting bilong false worship bae isisi aot from heart bilong iu. Sapos iu strong for followim tru worship, bae iu barava hapi and kasem staka blessing.

CHAPTER TWELV
Duim Olketa Samting wea Mekem God Hapi
Hao nao iu savve kamap fren bilong God?
Hao nao wei wea Satan kwestinim right bilong Jehovah for rul hem affectim iu?
Olketa wanem fasin nao God no laekem?
Hao nao iu savve mekem God hapi?
1, 2. Hu nao samfala man wea Jehovah ting long olketa olsem olketa gudfala fren bilong hem?
WANEM kaen man nao iu bae laek for fren witim? For sure, iu bae laek for kaban witim samwan wea interest long olketa sem samting wea iu interest long hem, and garem sem tingting and live followim sem standard. And iu bae interest for fren witim samwan wea garem olketa gudfala fasin, olsem honest fasin and kaenfala fasin.
2 Start from taem bifor kam, God chusim samfala man for kamap olketa gudfala fren bilong hem. Olsem example, Jehovah kolem Abraham fren bilong hem. (Isaiah 41:8; James 2:
3. Why nao Jehovah chusim samfala for kamap olketa fren bilong hem?
3 Why nao Jehovah ting long Abraham, David, and Daniel olsem olketa fren bilong hem? For ansarem datwan, tingim samting hem sei long Abraham: “Iu nao lisin long voice bilong mi.” (Genesis 22:18) So Jehovah hem fren gud witim olketa wea hambol and wea duim samting wea hem laekem olketa for duim. Hem sei olsem long olketa Israelite: “Obeyim voice bilong mi, and mi bae kamap God bilong iufala, and iufala bae kamap pipol bilong mi.” (Jeremiah 7:23) Sapos iu obeyim Jehovah, iu tu savve kamap fren bilong hem!
JEHOVAH STRONGIM OLKETA FREN BILONG HEM
4, 5. Hao nao Jehovah showimaot strong bilong hem for pipol bilong hem?
4 Tingim gudfala samting wea man kasem taem hem fren witim God. Bible talem hao Jehovah hem lukaotem olketa chance “for showimaot strong bilong hem for olketa wea lovem hem witim full heart.” (2 Chronicles 16:9) Hao nao Jehovah savve showimaot strong bilong hem for iu? Psalm 32:8 talem wanfala wei. Hem sei: “Mi [Jehovah] bae mekem iu for garem fasin for luksavve and teachim iu wei wea iu mas followim. Mi bae givim advaes long iu and gohed for lukaftarem iu.”
5 Datwan hem barava showimaot Jehovah hem kea for iumi! Hem bae givim direction wea iu needim, and protectim iu taem iu gohed for followim datwan. God laek for helpem iu deal witim olketa hard taem and test wea kasem iu. (Psalm 55:22) So sapos iu servem Jehovah witim full heart bilong iu, iu savve feel sure olsem datfala man for raetem psalm, wea sei: “Mi putim Jehovah front long mi evritaem. From hem stap long raet saed bilong mi, mi bae no seksek.” (Psalm 16:8; 63:8) Tru nao, Jehovah savve helpem iu for duim olketa samting wea mekem hem hapi. Bat iu savve finis hao wanfala enemy bilong God laek stopem iu for duim datwan.
SAMTING WEA SATAN KWESTINIM
6. Wanem nao tingting bilong Satan abaotem reason why olketa man servem God?
6 Chapter 11 long disfala buk explainim hao Satan hem kwestinim rul bilong God. Satan accusim God taem hem sei hem laea, and from samting hem talem, hem givim idea hao Jehovah hem strict tumas taem hem no letem Adam and Eve for disaedem seleva samting wea stret and samting wea no stret. Bihaen Adam and Eve sin and earth hem start for fulap witim olketa pikinini bilong olketa, Satan hem kwestinim nao samting wea muvim olketa man for lovem God. Long tingting bilong Satan, hem no love for God nao wea muvim pipol for servem God. Hem tingse hem savve mekem eniwan for againstim God. Iumi savve Satan hem garem tingting olsem bikos long samting wea hem talem abaotem Job. Hu nao Job, and hao nao samting wea Satan talem hem affectim Job?
7, 8. (a) Wanem nao mekem Job hem barava difren from olketa narawan long taem bilong hem? (b) Wanem nao Satan talem wea showimaot hem kwestinim reason for why nao Job servem God?
7 Job hem laef samting olsem 3,600 year bifor. Iumi savve hem wanfala gud man, bikos Jehovah hem sei: ‘No eniwan olsem hem stap long earth. Hem man wea no garem blame and garem stretfala fasin, hem fraet long God and no duim nogud samting.’ (Job 1:8) Job hem mekem God hapi.
8 Satan kwestinim reason for why nao Job servem God. Devil hem sei long Jehovah: “Iu nao protectim [Job] and haos bilong hem and evri samting wea hem garem. Evri samting wea hem duim iu blessim, and olketa animal bilong hem staka tumas long earth. Bat, plis, iu spoelem evri samting wea hem garem, and lukim hao hem bae barava tok nogud long iu.”
9. Wanem nao Jehovah duim taem Satan kwestinim Job, and why nao olsem?
9 So long tingting bilong Satan, only reason why Job servem Jehovah hem bikos hem laek for kasem gud samting bak from Jehovah. Devil talem tu hao sapos Job kasem test, hem bae againstim God. Wanem nao Jehovah duim taem Satan talem datwan? From Satan kwestinim love bilong Job for God, Jehovah letem Satan for testim Job. Diswan bae showimaot klia sapos Job hem really lovem God or nomoa.
JOB KASEM TEST
10. Olketa wanem hard samting nao kasem Job, and wanem nao hem duim?
10 Satan testim Job long samfala difren wei. Pipol stealim samfala animal bilong Job and killim dae olketa narawan. Pipol killim dae klosap evri servant bilong hem. Diswan mekem Job for kasem hard taem saed long selen. Then, wanfala big wind killim dae evri pikinini bilong Job. Bat nomata long olketa barava nogud samting hia, “Job hem no sin or talem eni nogud samting abaotem God.”
11. (a) Wanem nao nara samting wea Satan accusim long Job, and wanem nao Jehovah duim? (b) Wanem nao Job no duim taem hem kasem datfala nogud sik?
11 Satan no givap. Maet long tingting bilong hem, nomata Job savve deal witim wei wea hem lusim olketa material samting, olketa servant, and olketa pikinini, hem bae againstim God sapos hem kasem wanfala sik. Jehovah letem Satan for mekem Job kasem wanfala barava nogud sik, wea mekem hem garem bigfala pain. Bat nomata olsem, datwan no mekem Job lusim faith bilong hem long God. Hem sei olsem: “Bae mi no lusim faithful fasin bilong mi go kasem taem mi dae!”
12. Hao nao Job pruvim samting wea Devil talem hem no tru?
12 Job no savve hao Satan nao mekem hem for kasem olketa trabol hia. From hem no savve hao Satan kwestinim right bilong Jehovah for rul, Job hem wari nogud God nao mekem hem kasem olketa trabol hia. (Job 6:4; 16:11-
13. Wanem nao kamaot from wei wea Job hem faithful long God?
13 Faithful fasin bilong Job mekem Jehovah fit for barava ansarem nao samting wea Satan kwestinim. Job hem wanfala tru fren bilong Jehovah, and God rewardim hem for faithful fasin bilong hem.
LONG WANEM WEI NAO IU INSAED DISWAN?
14, 15. Why nao iumi fit for sei Satan no kwestinim Job nomoa, bat hem kwestinim evri man?
14 Hem no Job nomoa wea Satan kwestinim faithful fasin bilong hem. Hem kwestinim faithful fasin bilong iu tu. Diswan hem showaot klia long Proverbs 27:11 wea sei: “Kamap wise, son bilong mi, and mekem heart bilong mi hapi, mekem mi savve givim ansa long datwan wea tok daonem mi.” Toktok hia, wea Solomon raetem plande year bihaen Job hem dae, showimaot hao Satan still gohed for tok daonem God and accusim olketa servant bilong Hem. Taem iumi duim olketa samting wea mekem Jehovah hapi, iumi help for givim ansa for samting wea Satan talem, and datwan hem mekem heart bilong God hapi. Hao nao tingting bilong iu abaotem datwan? Waswe, iu agree hao hem bae nambawan for savve share for pruvim hao samting wea Satan talem hem no tru, nomata sapos datwan minim iu mas changem samfala samting long laef bilong iu?
15 Tingim hao Satan hem sei: “Evri samting wea man garem hem bae givim for sevem soul bilong hem.” (Job 2:4) Taem hem sei “man,” Satan showimaot klia hao hem no kwestinim Job nomoa, bat hem kwestinim evri man. Datwan hem barava important point. Satan hem kwestinim faithful fasin bilong iu. Devil bae laekem iu for no obeyim God and for no duim samting wea raeteous taem olketa hard samting hem kamap. Hao nao maet Satan hem trae for duim diswan?
16. (a) Wanem nao samfala wei wea Satan trae for mekem pipol no obeyim God? (b) Hao nao maet Devil iusim olketa wei hia for mekem iu no faithful?
16 Chapter 10 storyim finis olketa wei wea Satan iusim for trae mekem pipol no obeyim God. Hem attakim iumi “olsem wanfala lion wea singaot strong and lukaotem samwan for kaikaim.” (1 Peter 5:8) So maet Satan iusim olketa fren, relative, or olketa narawan for trae stopem wei wea iu studyim and followim Bible. * (John 15:
OBEYIM OLKETA KOMANDMENT BILONG JEHOVAH
17. Wanem nao main reason for obeyim olketa komandment bilong Jehovah?
17 Iu savve givim ansa for samting Satan talem taem iu duim olketa samting wea mekem God hapi. Hao nao iu savve duim datwan? Bible hem sei: “Iu mas lovem God bilong iu Jehovah witim full heart bilong iu and full soul bilong iu and full strong bilong iu.” (Deuteronomy 6:5) Taem love bilong iu for Jehovah hem kamap strong, iu bae barava laek for duim samting wea hem askem iu for duim. Aposol John hem sei olsem: “Samting wea showimaot iumi lovem God nao hem wei wea iumi obeyim olketa komandment bilong hem.” Sapos iu lovem Jehovah witim full heart bilong iu, bae iu lukim hao “hem no wanfala hevi for obeyim olketa komandment bilong hem.”
18, 19. (a) Wanem nao samfala komandment bilong Jehovah? (Lukim box long page 122.) (b) Hao nao iumi savve God no askem iumi for duim samting wea iumi no fit for duim?
18 Wanem nao olketa komandment bilong Jehovah? Samfala nao hem olketa samting wea iumi shud stap klia long hem. Olsem example, lukim box long page 122, wea garem title “Rejectim Samting wea Jehovah Heitim.” Bae iu lukim long there list bilong olketa samting wea Bible barava againstim. Maet firstaem iu tingse samfala samting long list hem no barava nogud. Bat bihaen iu ting raonem olketa scripture long there, datwan bae helpem iu for savve hao olketa law bilong Jehovah olketa wise. Maet samting wea hard winim eni nara samting iu feisim bifor, hem wei for iu changem samfala fasin bilong iu. Nomata olsem, wei for duim olketa samting wea mekem God hapi bae barava mekem iumi hapi and feel gud. (Isaiah 48:17, 18) And hem samting wea iu savve duim. Hao nao iumi savve sure long datwan?
19 Jehovah nating askem iumi for duim samting wea iumi no fit for duim. (Deuteronomy 30:11-
GAREM OLKETA FASIN WEA MEKEM GOD HAPI
20. Olketa wanem fasin wea God lovem nao iu shud garem, and why nao olketa fasin hia hem important?
20 Moa samting hem insaed wei for mekem Jehovah hapi winim for just stap klia long olketa samting wea hem heitim nomoa. Iu mas lovem tu samting wea hem lovem. (Romans 12:9) Iumi laek for fren witim pipol wea interest and tinghae long olketa sem samting wea iumi interest and tinghae long hem. Jehovah hem olsem tu. So lane for lovem olketa sem samting wea hem lovem. Psalm 15:
21. Wanem nao bae helpem iu for garem olketa fasin wea God lovem?
21 Wei for readim and studyim Bible evritaem bae helpem iu for garem olketa fasin wea Jehovah lovem. And taem iu lanem olketa samting wea God laekem iu for duim, datwan bae helpem iu for mekem tingting bilong iu hem semsem olsem tingting bilong God. (Isaiah 30:20, 21) Taem iu strongim go moa love bilong iu for Jehovah, iu bae barava laek for duim olketa samting wea mekem God hapi.
22. Sapos iu duim olketa samting wea mekem God hapi, wanem nao bae kamaot from datwan?
22 Iumi mas waka hard for trae duim olketa samting wea mekem Jehovah hapi. Bible hem sei, for changem laef bilong iumi, iumi mas aotem oldfala fasin bilong iumi olsem wei for aotem wanfala kaleko, and werem wanfala niu kaleko, wea minim niufala fasin. (Colossians 3:
