Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Faaali le Faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso

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

E mafai e Iesu Keriso ona fesoasoani ia te a’u e faia mea uma pe a ou faaali le faatuatua ia te Ia.

O Iesu Keriso o le Alo o le Atua. Na auina mai e le Atua Iesu e aoao ma fesoasoani ia i tatou. Ua aoao mai e Iesu i tatou i le auala e ola faamaoni ai i o tatou gafatia o ni fanau a le Atua. Ua i ai ia Iesu le mana e fesoasoani ai ia i tatou e faatoilalo o tatou vaivaiga ma o tatou luitau. Na Ia aoao mai i tatou:

“Afai e tusa lo outou faatuatua ma le fua o le sinapi, e fai atu outou i lenei mauga, Alu atu ia oe i le la mea; ona alu atu ai lea; e leai foi se mea tou te le mafaia” (Mataio 17:20).

Atonu e te lagonaina o le aoaoina o le Igilisi o se mauga tele—o se galuega e le mafai ona fai. Ae a o e faaalia sina faatuatua itiiti ia Iesu Keriso, o le a tuputupu ae lou faatuatua. O lou faatuatua faatupulaia ia te Ia o le a fesoasoani ia te oe e faatoilalo ai ou luitau.

Ponder

• O a nisi o luitau e ono feagai ma oe i le aoaoina o le Igilisi?

• O a nisi o auala e mafai ona e faatupuina ai lou faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso?
