Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Faatino le Faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso

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

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

O Iesu Keriso o le Alo o le Atua. Ua ia te Ia le mana uma. I tusitusiga paia, tatou te faitau ai e uiga i se tagata na faatinoina lona faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso. Sa matuai ma’i lava le atalii o le tamaloa ma sa leai se tasi na mafai ona fesoasoani ia te ia. Na talosaga atu le tamā ia Iesu e faamalolo lona atalii. Na ta’u atu e Iesu ia te ia:

“Ai se mea e te mafaia, e mafai mea uma lava. … Ona alaga loa lea o le tamā o le tama, ua fai atu, “Le Alii e, ua ou faatuatua; ia e fesoasoani i lo’u le faatuatua. … Ao Iesu ua tago ifo ia i lona [tamaitiiti] lima, ma faatu ia te ia; ona tulai lea o ia” (Mareko 9:23–24, 27).

E pei o lenei tagata, e mafai ona e amata i le faamoemoe ma le faatuatua ua e maua. Ona mafai lea ona e faatupulaia lou faatuatua e ala i le tatalo ma le suesueina o tusitusiga paia. E mafai foi ona e faatupulaia lou faatuatua a o e taumafai e aoao le Igilisi. E mafai ona e amata i mea ua e iloa nei. Taulai atu i mea e mafai ona e faia i le Igilisi, ma faaaoga i le tele e te mafaia. Taumafai e faalogo, faitau, tautala, ma tusitusi i le Igilisi i aso uma. A o e galue i le faatuatua e tuuina atu lau taumafaiga sili, e mafai ona fesoasoani o Ia ia tuputupu ae lou faatuatua.

Ponder

• E mafai faapefea ona e faaalia lou faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso?

• E mafai faapefea ona e faatupulaia lou faatuatua a o e aoaoina le Igilisi?
