Study the Principle of Learning: Love and Teach One Another

Ib Leeg Hlub thiab Qhia Ib Leeg

I can learn from the Spirit as I love, teach, and learn with others.

Kuv kawm tau los ntawm tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig thaum kuv hlub, qhia, thiab kawm nrog lwm tus.

Nyob hauv EnglishConnect, peb paub tias Vajtswv yog tus xib hwb tiag tiag, thiab Nws qhia peb dhau los ntawm Nws tus Ntsuj Plig. Tus Ntsuj Plig ua rau yus muaj kev xyiv fab, kev kaj siab lug, thiab kev hlub. Tus Ntsuj Plig pab peb to taub qhov tseeb thiab yuav ua rau peb muaj peev xwm kawm ntxiv. Ib txoj kev uas peb thov tus Ntsuj Plig los nrog peb nyob yog kev hlub, qhia, thiab kawm ua ke. Tus yaj saub Amas los ntawm Phau Ntawv Maumoos lav ris kev qhia nws cov neeg. Nws tau muab cov neeg faib ua pab ua pawg thiab tau xaiv ib tug thawj coj rau txhua pawg. Amas tau qhia lawv tias:

“Vim tus qhuab qhia twb tsis zoo tshaj tus uas mloog, thiab tus xib hwb los twb tsis zoo tshaj tus uas kawm; thiab yog li ntawd lawv txhua tus puav leej sib txig” (Amas 1:26).

Nyob hauv EnglishConnect, peb ntseeg tias cov xib hwb thiab cov neeg kawm yeej tseem ceeb ib yam. Peb sawv daws qhia thiab kawm. Peb ib leeg saib taus thiab mloog ib leeg. Peb ib leeg qhia ib leeg. Peb ib leeg hlub ib leeg. Peb pab lwm tus zoo siab thaum lawv ua tau zoo thiab txhawb nqa lawv thaum lawv ua yuam kev. Peb muaj peev xwm xav txog tej yam uas peb ua tau kom ib leeg txhawb nqa ib leeg thiab npaj sij hawm kom xyaum hais lus nrog lawv hauv ib lub lim tiam. Vajtswv yuav xa Nws tus Ntsuj Plig los thaum peb kawm kom ib leeg hlub thiab qhia ib leeg.
