 NAʻE fakatupu kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá pea ke ʻofaʻi kitautolu. Ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku fehiʻanekinaʻi ai kitautolu ʻe ha taha, te tau ongoʻi loto-mamahi pe aʻu nai ʻo tau ilifia. Ko e fakatātaá, ko ha tuofefine ko Georgina, ʻoku nofo ʻi ʻIulope, ʻokú ne pehē: “ʻI heʻeku taʻu 14, naʻe fehiʻa ʻeku faʻeé ʻiate au koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tauhi kia Sihová.

Koeʻuhí hangē ko Sīsū “ʻoku ʻikai ko ha konga [kitautolu] ʻo e māmaní.” (Sione 15:17-19) Ko hono olá, lolotonga ʻetau fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ngaahi puleʻanga fakaetangatá, heʻikai ke tau kau ʻi he meʻa fakapolitikalé, salute ki ha fuka pe hiva ʻi ha fasi fakafonua. ʻOku tau foaki kia Sihova ʻetau anga-līʻoa maʻataʻataá. ʻOku tau pouaki ʻa e totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá ke pule ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá​—ko ha totonu ʻoku mātuʻaki poleʻi ʻe Sētane mo hono “hakó.” (Sēn. 3:1-5, 15) ʻOku tau malangaʻi ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e ʻamanakiʻanga pē ia ʻe taha ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá pea ʻoku vavé ni ke laiki ʻe he Puleʻanga ko iá ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku fakafepaki ki aí. (Tan. 2:44; Fkh. 19:19-21) Ko e pōpoaki ko iá ko e ongoongo lelei ia ki he anga-vaivaí ka ko e ongoongo kovi ia ki he kau fulikivanú.​—Saame 37:10, 11.

Ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ko ení ʻoku fehangahangai fakaʻaufuli ia mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungaanga ololalo ʻa e māmaní. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻoku tali lelei ʻe he kakai tokolahi ʻi he taimí ni ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga mātuʻaki taʻetaau ʻo meimei tatau mo ia naʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Sōtoma mo Komolá! (Sute 7) Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau muimui ki he ngaahi tuʻunga Fakatohitapu fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi tōʻonga peheé, ʻoku manukiʻi kitautolu ʻe he kakai tokolahi pea tala ʻoku tau fuʻu fakataputapui!​—1 Pita 4:3, 4.

4. Ko e hā ʻa e ongo ʻulungaanga te na fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ʻi hono fehiʻanekinaʻi kitautolu ʻe he kakaí?

(1 Kol. 13:4-7, 13) Te tau vakai he taimí ni ki he founga ʻe tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofa kia Sihová, ʻofa ki hotau kaungālotú pea naʻa mo e ʻofa ki hotau ngaahi filí ke kātekina ʻa e tāufehiʻá.

TOKONIʻI KITAUTOLU ʻE HE ʻOFA KIA SIHOVÁ KE KĀTEKINA ʻA E TĀUFEHIʻÁ

5. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻe heʻene ʻofa ki heʻene Tamaí?

5 ʻI he pō ki muʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻe hono ngaahi filí, naʻá ne tala ange ki hono kau muimui mateakí: “ʻOku ou ʻofa ʻi he Tamaí, [ko ia] ʻoku ou fai ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e meʻa kuo fekau mai ʻe he Tamaí ke u faí.” (Sione 14:31) Ko e ʻofa ʻa Sīsū kia Sihová naʻá ne fakaivimālohiʻi ia ke fehangahangai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi naʻe toka mei muʻá. Ko ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová ʻe lava ai ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau.

6. Fakatatau ki he Loma 5:3-5, ʻoku anga-fēfē ongoʻi ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová fekauʻaki mo hono kātekina ʻa e tāufehiʻa ʻa e māmaní?

Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi hono fekauʻi ʻe he fakamaauʻanga lahi faka-Siú ʻa e kau ʻapositoló ke tuku ʻenau malangá, ko e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá naʻá ne ueʻi kinautolu ke “talangofua ki he ʻOtuá ko e pulé ia kae ʻikai ki he tangatá.” (Ngā. 5:29; 1 Sio. 5:3) Ko e ʻofa taʻealamotuhi ko iá ʻokú ne toe fakaivimālohiʻi hotau fanga tokouá ʻi he ʻahó ni, ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ʻoku nau tuʻu maʻu ʻi hono fakafepakiʻi mālohi mo anga-kakaha ʻe he ngaahi puleʻangá. ʻI he ʻikai ke loto-siʻí, ʻoku tau lau ia ko ha monū ke kātekina ʻa e tāufehiʻa ʻa e māmaní.​—Ngā. 5:41; lau ʻa e Loma 5:3-5.

7. ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau fakafeangai ʻi hono fakafepakiʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi mēmipa hotau fāmilí?

7 Mahalo ko e taha ʻi hotau ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi tahá ko e haʻu mei he ngaahi mēmipa hotau fāmilí tonu. ʻI he kamata ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he moʻoní, ʻe fakakaukau ʻa e ngaahi mēmipa ʻe niʻihi hotau fāmilí kuo takihalaʻi kitautolu. ʻOku fakakaukau nai ʻa e niʻihi kuo hē hotau ʻatamaí. (Fakafehoanaki mo e Maʻake 3:21.) ʻOku aʻu nai ʻo nau fakafepakiʻi anga-fakamālohi kitautolu. Ko e fakafeangai ʻikai lelei ko ení ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau ofo ai. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻE hoko ko e ngaahi fili ʻo ha tangata ʻa e faʻahinga ʻi hono falé tonu.” (Māt. 10:36) Ko e moʻoni, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e anga ʻo e vakai mai hotau kāingá, heʻikai ke tau fakafeangai kiate kinautolu ko hotau fili. ʻI hono kehé, ʻi he tupulaki ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová, ʻe pehē pē mo ʻetau ʻofa ki he kakaí. (Māt. 22:37-39) Ka heʻikai ʻaupito ke tau fakangaloku ʻetau ngaahi tuʻungá ʻaki hono tukunoaʻi ʻa e ngaahi lao mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni Fakatohitapú koeʻuhi pē ke fakahōhōʻiaʻi ha tangatá.

Te tau faingataʻaʻia nai ʻi ha taimi ka ʻe ʻi hotau tafaʻakí maʻu pē ʻa Sihova ke fakafiemālieʻi mo fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu (Sio ki he palakalafi 8-10)

8-9. Ko e hā naʻá ne tokoniʻi ha tuofefine ke tuʻu maʻu neongo ʻa e fakafepaki kakahá?

8 Ko Georgina, naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá, naʻá ne tuʻu maʻu neongo ʻa e fakafepaki kakaha ʻene faʻeé. ʻOku pehē ʻe Georgina: “Naʻá ku kamata ako mo ʻeku faʻeé ʻa e Tohi Tapú mo e Kau Fakamoʻoní.

9 Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e fekuki ʻa Georgina mo e meʻá ni? ʻOkú ne pehē: “Ko e ʻaho naʻe siʻaki ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻeé, ko e toki ʻosi ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú kakato heʻeku lau.

10 Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe lava ke ne “fakamavaheʻi kitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sīsū ko hotau ʻEikí.” (Loma 8:38, 39) Neongo te tau faingataʻaʻia nai ʻi ha taimi, ko Sihova te ne ʻi hotau tafaʻakí maʻu pē ke fakafiemālieʻi mo fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu. Pea hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi he hokosia ʻa Georgina, ʻoku toe tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova fakafou ʻi hotau fāmili fakalaumālie ʻofeiná.

11. Naʻe anga-fēfē tokoni ʻa e ʻofa naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he Sione 15:12, 13 ki heʻene kau ākongá? ʻOmai ha fakatātā.
