Study the Principle of Learning: Learn by Study and by Faith

Kawm los ntawm Kev Kawm Ntawv thiab Kev Ntseeg

In EnglishConnect, we rely on God to learn by study and by faith.

Nyob hauv EnglishConnect, peb tso siab rau Vajtswv kom kawm los ntawm kev kawm ntawv thiab kev ntseeg.

Nyob rau xyoo 1832, tus Tswv tau hais kom Joseph Smith thiab ib co thawj coj ntawm Yexus Khetos lub Koom Txoos ntawm Tsoom Haiv Neeg Ntseeg hauv Hnub Nyoog Kawg qhib ib lub tsev kawm ntawv. Vajtswv tau xav kom lawv kawm, ua zoo zuj zus, thiab npaj coj lwm tus. Cov mej zeej no tsis tau muaj ntawv los ntawm tej tsev kawm ntawv qib siab los yog tsis tau mus kawm ntawv ntev. Lawv tsis tau muaj nyiaj los sis tej yam uas pab tau ntau. Nyob hauv cov vaj lug kub, Vajtswv tau qhia lawv txog ib tug txheej txheem kawm ntawv.

“Thiab vim tsis yog txhua tus muaj kev ntseeg, nej cia li rau siab nrhiav thiab ib leeg cia li qhia tej lus tswv yim rau ib leeg; muaj tseeb tiag, nej cia li nrhiav tej lus tswv yim hauv tej phau ntawv zoo tshaj plaws; nrhiav kev kawm, twb yog los ntawm kev kawm ntawv thiab los ntawm kev ntseeg” (Lus Qhuab Qhia thiab Kev Khi Lus 88:118).

Vajtswv qhia peb tias peb yuav tsum kawm los ntawm kev kawm ntawv, thiab peb kuj yuav tsum kawm los ntawm kev ntseeg. Peb ua zoo npaum li peb ua taus, thiab peb thov Vajtswv xa Nws tus Ntsuj Plig los qhib peb lub siab lub ntsws kom txawj kawm ntawv. Tus Ntsuj Plig ua rau peb txawj to taub tshaj qhov peb yuav to taub peb tus kheej xwb. Yog muaj ib tug xib hwb los sis ib phau ntawv zoo ces yuav pab tau yus, tiam sis Vajtswv qhia tau peb txawm yog peb tsis muaj tej ntawd los yog. Thaum peb kawm los ntawm kev kawm ntawv thiab kev ntseeg, Vajtswv yuav pab peb kawm ntau tshaj qhov peb xav.
