Berɛ a Yudafoɔ akannifoɔ no twaa Yesu mpoa wɔ ne nipasu ho no, Ɔpaee mu kaa sɛ, “Ansa na Abraham reba no, na Mewɔ hɔ.” Saa nsɛm yi maa nnipa a wɔtee Yesu kasa no ho dwirii wɔn, na na wɔayɛ krado sɛ wɔbɛsi no aboɔ (hwɛ Yohane 8:58–59). Dwene ho sɛ wobɛkenkan Eksodɔs 3:13–15; 6:3–5 ahwehwɛ deɛ enti a Yudafoɔ binom bo fuu saa wɔ deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no ho.

Adɛn nti na ɛho hia ma wo sɛ wobɛhunu sɛ Yesu Kristo ne Yehowa?

Wɔ anisoadehunu mu no, Awurade kyerɛɛ Nifae Twerɛ Kronkron a ɛreba no, kyerɛkyerɛɛ mu sɛ wɔbɛfa “nneɛma bebree a ɛmu da hɔ na ɛsom boɔ” afiri mu.

Berɛ a woresua Apam Dada no afeɛ yi no, wobɛsua “nwoma afoforɔ” a Nephi hunuiɛ no nso bi. Yeinom bi ne:
