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 Vajtswv tus me nyuam uas Nws hlub. Koj muaj peev xwm hloov los ua ib tug uas muaj nqis nyob mus ib txhis. Peb kawm ntxiv txog qhov no los ntawm Phau Ntawv Maumoos. Peb nyeem txog ib lub sij hawm thaum Yexus Khetos qhia thiab foom koob hmoov rau cov neeg. Nws siv sij hawm foom koob hmoov rau cov me nyuam yaus ib tug dhau ib tug. Nws tau siv sij hawm foom koob hmoov rau lawv cov me nyuam thiab qhia lawv.

Thaum Nws foom koob hmoov rau cov me nyuam yaus, muaj ib yam dab tsi xav tsis thoob: “[Yexus Khetos ] tau ua rau lawv tej nplaig muag, thiab lawv tau hais lus rau lawv txiv txog tej yam tseem ceeb thiab zoo kawg nkaus, … thiab nws ua rau lawv tej nplaig muag xwv kom lawv yuav hais tau lus” (3 Nifais 26:14).

Cov me nyuam yaus tau qhia cov neeg tej yam tseem ceeb thiab zoo kawg nkaus. Cov me nyuam yaus no twb muaj peev xwm loj heev, thiab Yexus Khetos tau pab lawv pom li ntawd. Vajtswv kuj pab tau koj pom tias koj muaj peev xwm npaum li cas. Koj muaj ntau yam uas koj pub tau. Koj muaj ib lub hom phiaj, thiab Vajtswv yuav qhia koj tias koj ua taus tej yam twg thaum koj nrhiav Nws txoj kev pab. Ib yam li Yexus Khetos tau pab cov me nyuam kom txawj hais lus, Vajtswv yuav pab koj hais lus thiab. Nws pab tau koj hais lus. Nws xav pab koj kom ntseeg tias koj ua zoo npaum li koj ua tau mus ib txhis li.

Ponder

• Tej yam twg yuav pab koj kom ntseeg tias koj ua tau zoo zuj zus mus ib txhis li?

• Tej kev ntshai twg ua rau koj ntseeg tias koj tsis txawj hais lus Askiv?

• Koj yuav ua li cas kom nrhiav Vajtswv txoj kev pab thiaj li yuav kov yeej tej yam uas koj ntshai thiab hais lus ntau zog?

“Vim peb yog Vajtswv cov me nyuam ntsuj plig, txhua tus muaj Vajtswv txoj hmoov, keeb kwm, thiab cwj pwm. Peb sawv daws yog ‘ib tug ntsuj plig tub los sis ntxhais ntawm ib khub niam txiv saum ntuj ceeb tsheej’ [“Tsev Neeg: Ib Zaj Lus Tshaj Tawm rau lub Ntiaj Teb,” ChurchofJesusChrist.org]. Qhov no yog peb caj ceg! Peb yog Nws cov me nyuam tiag!” (M. Russell Ballard, “Kev Cia Siab rau Khetos,” Liyahaunas, Tsib Hlis Ntuj 2021, 54).
