Hazviiti kuti Shoko ringe “riina Mwari,” panguva imwe chete riri Mwari Wemasimbaose. Mamwe mavhesi ari mberi anoratidza kuti Shoko naMwari Wemasimbaose haasi munhu mumwe chete.

Chokwadi nezvenyaya iyi: Mashoko ekuti “pakutanga” muvhesi iyi haasi kureva ‘kutanga’ kwaMwari nekuti Mwari haana paanotangira. Jehovha a Mwari aripo “kubvira nariini kusvikira nariini.” (Pisarema 90:1, 2) Asi Shoko, kureva Jesu Kristu ane paakatangira. Ndiye “wekutanga pane zvakasikwa naMwari.”—Zvakazarurwa 3:14.

Mashoko aya echiHebheru anofungidzirwa kuti anoreva kuti “Munhu Ane Simba” uye anoshandiswa pachitaurwa nezvaMwari wemasimbaose, vamwewo vanamwari, kunyange vanhu. (Pisarema 82:6; Johani 10:34) Shoko, kureva Jesu, ndiye akashandiswa naMwari kusika zvinhu zvese saka zvinoita kuti anzi munhu ane simba. (Johani 1:3) Kurondedzera Shoko ‘samwari’ kunowirirana neuprofita hwakataurwa pana Isaya 9:6 hwaitaura nezveakasarudzwa naMwari, Mesiya kana kuti Kristu, huchiti aizonzi “Mwari Ane Simba” (shoko racho rechiHebheru ndiʼEl Gib·bohrʹ), kwete kuti aizonzi “Mwari Wemasimbaose” (ʼEl Shad·daiʹ, sezviri pana Genesisi 17:1; 35:11; Eksodho 6:3; Ezekieri 10:5).

Bhaibheri haridzidzisi kuti tinofanira kunamata vanaMwari vakawanda. Jesu Kristu akati: “Jehovha Mwari wako ndiye waunofanira kunamata, uye ndiye ega waunofanira kuitira basa dzvene.” (Mateu 4:10) Bhaibheri rinoti: “Nekuti kunyange variko vanonzi vanamwari, kungava kudenga kana panyika, sezvo kuine ‘vanamwari’ vakawanda uye ‘madzishe’ akawanda, kwatiri kunongova naMwari mumwe chete, ivo Baba, kunova ndiko kunobva zvinhu zvese, uye isu tiri vake; uye kuna Ishe mumwe chete, iye Jesu Kristu, zvinhu zvese zviripo naye, nesu tiripo naye.”—1 VaKorinde 8:5, 6.
