Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Ngāue ʻaki ʻa e Tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí

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

ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi au ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke u fakahoko ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi heʻeku ngāue ʻaki ʻa e tui kiate Iá.

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú Ne maʻu ʻa e mālohi kotoa. ʻOku tau lau ʻi lau ʻi he folofolá, fekauʻaki mo ha tangata naʻá ne ngāue ʻaki ʻene tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe puke lahi ʻa e foha ʻa e tangatá pea naʻe ʻikai lava ha taha ʻo tokoniʻi ia. Naʻe kole ʻa e tamaí kia Sīsū ke fakamoʻui ʻene tamasiʻí. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sīsū kiate ia:

“Kapau ʻokú ke faʻa tui, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē. … Pea tangi loʻimata leva ʻa e tamai ʻa e tamasiʻí, ʻo ne pehē, ʻEiki, ʻokú ou tui; ké ke tokoniʻi au telia ʻeku taʻetuí. … Naʻe puke ʻe Sīsū [ʻa e tamasiʻí] ʻi hono nimá, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; peá ne tuʻu hake” (Maʻake 9:23–24, 27).

Hangē ko e tangata ko ʻení, te ke lava ʻo kamata ʻaki ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei mo e tui ʻokú ke lolotonga maʻú. Pea te ke lava ʻo fakatupulaki hoʻo tuí ʻo fou ʻi he lotu mo e ako ʻo e folofolá. Te ke lava foki ʻo fakatupulaki hoʻo tuí ʻi hoʻo feinga ke ako ʻa e lea faka-Pilitāniá. Te ke lava ʻo kamata ʻaki ʻa ia ʻokú ke ʻilo ʻi he taimí ní. Tokanga taha pē ki he meʻa te ke lava ʻo fakahoko ʻi he lea faka-Pilitāniá, pea ngāue ʻaki ia ki he lahi taha te ke malavá. Feinga ke ke fanongo, laukonga, lea mo tohi ʻi he lea faka-Pilitāniá ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. ʻI hoʻo ngāue ʻi he tui ke fakahoko hoʻo feinga lelei tahá, te Ne lava ʻo tokoni ke tupulaki hoʻo tuí.

Ponder
