Study the Principle of Learning: You Are a Child of God

O Oe o se Atalii/Afafine o le Atua

I am a child of God with eternal potential and purpose.

O au o se atalii/afafine o le Atua e i ai gafatia ma faamoemoega e faavavau.

O oe o se atalii po o se afafine o se Tama Faalelagi alofa. O le a Ia taialaina oe. Faatasi ai ma Lana fesoasoani, e mafai ona e faia ai le tele o mea nai lo mea e mafai ona e faia na o oe. I le Tusi a Mamona, tatou te aoao ai e uiga i se alii talavou e igoa ia Nifae o lē o le a avea ma se taitai- perofeta i lona nuu. Sa finagalo le Atua e taitai atu Nifae ma lona aiga i se laueleele fou. O lenei laueleele sa i le isi itu o le sami, ma sa tatau ona fausia e Nifae se vaa. Na te lei fausia muamua lava se vaa. Sa le talitonu ona uso e mafai ona ia faia. Sa vaavaai atu Nifae i le Atua mo le taitaiga.

Na tau atu e Nifae i ona uso, “Afai … e tele vavega ua faia e [le Atua] i totonu o le fanauga a tagata, e faapefea la ona lē mafai ona ia aʼoaʼoina o aʼu, ia ʼou fausia se vaa?” (1 Nifae 17:51).

Faatasi ai ma le fesoasoani a le Atua, na fausia ai e Nifae ma lona aiga se vaa ma faia ai le malaga faigata i le isi itu o le sami. E pei lava ona sa fesoasoani le Atua ia Nifae, e finagalo foi le Atua e fesoasoani ia te oe. E mafai ona e tatalo mo le taitaiga. E mafai ona e tatalo ia malamalama ma manatua mea o loo e aoaoina. A o e tatalo, ia gauai atu i mafaufauga ma lagona e oo mai. Ona faatino lea i le faatuatua. E tele atu mea e mafai ona e faia i Lana fesoasoani nai lo le leai (o sana fesoasoani).

Ponder

• E faapefea ona pei lau malaga i le aoaoina o le Igilisi o le tala a Nifae i le fausiaina o se vaa?

• A o e aoaoina le Igilisi, o le a se mea e mafai ona e ole atu ai i le Atua e fesoasoani ia te oe?
