Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Faatino le Faatuatua ia Iesu Keriso

Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.

E mafai e Iesu Keriso ona fesoasoani ia te a’u e faia mea uma pe a ou faatinoina le faatuatua ia te Ia.

Sa i ai soo o Iesu Keriso i luga o se vaa. Sa malosi le matagi, ma sa maualuluga galu. I le ogatotonu o lenei mea, na latou vaaia ai Iesu o savali agai atu ia i latou i luga o le vai. Sa fesili atu se tasi o Ona soo, o Peteru, ia Iesu pe mafai ona savali atu e faafetaui o Ia i luga o le vai. Na valaaulia e Iesu ia Peteru e fai le mea e foliga mai e lē mafai.

Ua ta’u mai e le Tusi Paia ia i tatou le mea na tupu: “Ona alu ifo ai lea o Peteru nai le vaa, ua savali i luga o le vai e alu ia Iesu.

“Ua vaai ia i le matagi ua tetele, ona fefe ai lea; ona afua ai lea ona goto, ua alaga, ua faapea mai, Le Alii e, ia e faaola mai ia te a’u.

“Ona aapa atu loa lea e Iesu o lona aao, ua tago ia te ia, ua faapea atu ia te ia, O oe na lē faatuatua itiiti, se a le mea ua e masalosalo vale ai?” (Mataio 14:29–31).

I le taimi muamua, sa galue Peteru i le faatuatua, ma sa amata faavavega ona savali o ia i luga o le vai. Ae ina ua lē toe tilotilo atu o ia ia Iesu ma amata ona tilotilo atu i le afā, sa amata ona magoto o ia. E pei o Peteru, afai e te taula’i atu i ou popolega, atonu e te manao e togi le solo. Nai lo o lea, e mafai ona e taula’i atu iā Iesu. O le aoaoina o se gagana fou e foliga mai e le mafai ona fai. Ia talitonu e mafai e Iesu Keriso ona fesoasoani ia te oe e fai mea e foliga mai e le mafai.
