Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Fa’a’ohipa i te fa’aro’o ia Iesu Mesia

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

E nehenehe Iesu Mesia e tauturu iā’u ’ia rave i te mau mea ato’a ’a fa’a’ohipa ai au i te fa’aro’o iāna.

Iesu Mesia ’o te Tamaiti ïa a te Atua. E mana hope tōna. I roto i te mau pāpa’ira’a mo’a, tē tai’o nei tātou nō ni’a i te hō’ē ta’ata tei fa’a’ohipa i tōna fa’aro’o ia Iesu Mesia. E ma’i rahi tō te tamari’i a terā ta’ata ’e ’aita hō’ē ta’ata i nehenehe e tauturu iāna. ’Ua ani te metua tāne ia Iesu ’ia fa’aora i tāna tamari’i. ’Ua parau Iesu iāna :

« I ti’a ia ’oe ’ia fa’aro’o ra, e ti’a te mau mea ato’a nei i te ta’ata i fa’aro’o. … ’Ua pi’i noa mai ra te metua tāne o taua tamaiti ra i reira ra, nā ’ō mai ra ma te roimata, e te Fatu, ’ua fa’aro’o vau, e turu mai ’oe i tō’u fa’aro’o paruparu nei. … ’Ua rave iho ra rā Iesu i te rima [o taua tamari’i ra], fa’ati’a a’era iāna i ni‘a, ’ua ti’a noa mai ra ’oia i ni’a » (Mareko 9:23–24, 27).

Mai teie ta’ata, e nehenehe ’oe e ha’amata ma te ti’aturi ’e te fa’aro’o i roa’a a’ena ia ’oe. I muri iho, e tupu rahi mai tō ’oe fa’aro’o nā roto i te pure ’e te ’imira’a maita’i i te pāpa’ira’a mo’a. E nehenehe ato’a tō ’oe fa’aro’o e nanea atu ’a tāmata ai ’oe i te ha’api’i mai i te reo peretāne. ’A ha’amata nā roto i te mau mea tā ’oe i ’ite i teienei. ’A fa’atumu i ni’a i te mau mea tā ’oe i ’ite i te rave nā roto i te reo peretāne, ’e ’a fa’a’ohipa i te reira hau atu ā i tā ’oe e nehenehe. ’A tāmata i te fa’aro’o, i te tai’o, i te parau, ’e i te pāpa’i nā roto i te reo peretāne i te mau mahana ato’a. ’A ’ohipa ai ’oe ma te fa’aro’o nō te hōro’a i tā ’oe tauto’ora’a maita’i roa a’e, e tauturu mai ’oia i tō ’oe fa’aro’o ’ia tupu i te rahi.

Ponder

• Nāhea ’oe e nehenehe ai e fa’a’ohipa i te faʼaroʼo ia Iesu Mesia ?

• Nāhea ’oe e nehenehe ai e fa’ananea atu ā i tō ’oe fa’aro’o ’a ha’api’i mai ai ’oe i te reo peretāne ?
