Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Muab Siab rau Ntseeg Yexus Khetos

Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.

Yexus Khetos pab tau kuv ua txhua yam thaum kuv muab siab rau ntseeg Nws.

Yexus Khetos yog Vajtswv Leej Tub. Vajtswv tau txib Yexus los qhia peb thiab pab peb. Yexus qhia peb kom paub ua neej raws li peb muaj peev xwm ua vim peb yog Vajtswv cov me nyuam. Yexus muaj hwj chim pab peb kov yeej peb tej kev qaug zog thiab peb tej teeb meem. Nws tau qhia peb hais tias:

“Yog nej muaj kev ntseeg luaj lub noob zaub, nej hais rau lub roob no hais tias, Cia li txav ntawm no mus rau tod! Ces lub roob ntawd yeej yuav txav mus. Nej yuav ua tau txhua yam huv tib si” (Mathais 17:20).

Tej zaum koj yuav xav tias kev kawm lus Askiv yog ib lub roob loj heev—ib yam uas ua tsis taus. Tiam sis yog koj muaj kev ntseeg Yexus Khetos luaj li ib qho me me xwb, koj txoj kev ntseeg yuav loj tuaj. Koj txoj kev ntseeg Nws yuav pab koj kov yeej koj tej teeb meem.

Ponder

• Koj yuav muaj tej teeb meem twg thaum koj kawm lus Askiv?

• Koj muaj peev xwm ua li cas kom koj txoj kev ntseeg Yexus Khetos yuav loj tuaj?

“Pib hnub no kom nej txoj kev ntseeg loj tuaj. Dhau los ntawm nej txoj kev ntseeg, Yexus Khetos yuav ua rau nej muaj peev xwm muab cov roob txav mus hauv nej lub neej [saib 1 Nifais 7:12], txawm yog nej xav tias nej tej teeb meem loj npaum li lub Roob Everest” (Russell M. Nelson, “Khetos Sawv Rov Los Lawm; Kev Ntseeg Nws Yuav Muab cov Roob Txav Tau,” Liahona, Tsib Hlis Ntuj 2021, 102–3).
