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

Koj Yog Vajtswv Ib tug Me Nyuam

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

Kuv yog Vajtswv ib tug me nyuam uas muaj peev xwm thiab lub hom phiaj nyob mus ib txhis.

Koj yog ib tug ntxhais los sis ib tug tub ntawm Leej Txiv Saum Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej uas hlub koj. Nws mam li coj nej kev. Nrog Nws txoj kev pab, koj ua tau zoo dua li koj ua tau koj tus kheej xwb. Nyob hauv Phau Ntawv Maumoos, peb kawm txog ib tug tub hluas hu ua Nifais uas yuav los ua ib tug yaj saub-tus thawj coj rau nws cov neeg. Vajtswv xav coj Nifais thiab nws tsev neeg mus rau ib thaj teb tshiab. Thaj av no nyob ntawm hiav txwv sab tod, thiab Nifais yuav tsum txua ib lub nkoj. Nws yeej ib txwm tsis tau txua ib lub nkoj dua. Nws cov kwv tij tsis ntseeg tias nws ua taus. Nifais tau thov Vajtswv kom paub ua li cas.

Nifais tau qhia nws cov kwv tij, “Yog hais tias [Vajtswv] … tau ua ntau yam txuj ci tseem ceeb rau noob neej, ua li cas nws thiaj yuav tsis muaj peev xwm qhia tau kuv, kom kuv txua tau ib lub nkoj?” (1 Nifais 17:51).

Nrog Vajtswv txoj kev pab, Nifais thiab nws tsev neeg tau txua ib lub nkoj thiab tau hla dej hiav txwv. Ib yam li Vajtswv tau pab Nifais, Vajtswv xav pab koj. Koj thov tau Vajtswv kom paub ua li cas. Koj thov tau kom to taub thiab nco ntsoov tej yam uas koj kawm. Thaum koj thov, tsom ntsoov rau koj tej kev xav uas los rau koj. Ces ua raws li kev ntseeg. Koj yuav muaj peev xwm tshaj thaum koj muaj Nws txoj kev pab.

Ponder

• Koj txoj kev kawm lus Askiv puas zoo li Nifais txoj kev ua ib lub nkoj?

• Thaum koj kawm lus Askiv, koj yuav thov Vajtswv kom pab koj ua dab tsi?
