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

Aoao i le Suesue ma le Faatuatua

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

I le EnglishConnect, tatou te faalagolago i le Atua e a’oa’o e ala i le suesue ma le faatuatua.

I le 1832, sa faatonuina ai Iosefa Samita ma nisi o taitai anamua o Le Ekalesia a Iesu Keriso o le Au Paia o Aso e Gata Ai e amata se aoga. Na finagalo le Atua ia latou a’oa’o, tuputupu ae, ma ia saunia e taitai isi. O lenei vaega o tagata o le ekalesia sa lei i ai ni tikeri mai iunivesite po o le tele foi o aoaoga. Sa le tele ni a latou tupe po o ni punaoa. I tusitusiga paia, na aoaoina ai i latou e le Atua i se mamanu mo le aoaoina:

“Ma talu ona ua le i ai i tagata uma le faatuatua, ia outou saili ma le filiga ma aoao i le tasi upu o le poto; ioe, ia outou saili mai totonu o tusi sili ona lelei upu o le poto; saili i le aoaoina, e ala lava lea i le suesue ma le faatuatua foi” (Mataupu Faavae ma Feagaiga 88:118)

Ua aoao mai le Atua e tatau ona tatou a’oa’o e ala i le suesue, ma e manaomia foi ona tatou a’oa’o e ala i le faatuatua. Tatou te tuuina atu a tatou taumafaiga sili, ma tatou te ole atu i le Atua e auina mai Lona Agaga e tatala o tatou mafaufau ma loto e a’oa’o ai. E tuuina mai e le Agaga ia i tatou le malamalama sili atu nai lo le mea e mafai ona tatou faia na o i tatou. O le i ai o se faiaoga maoae po o se tusi aoga maoae e mafai ona fesoasoani, ae e mafai e le Atua ona aoaoina i tatou e tusa lava pe tatou te le maua na mea. A o tatou aoao e ala i le suesue ma le faatuatua, e mafai e le Atua ona fesoasoani ia i tatou e a’oa’o atili nai lo le mea sa tatou manatu e mafai ona fai.
