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

O Oe o se Atalii/Afafine o le Atua

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

O a’u o se atalii/afafine o le Atua e i ai gafatia ma faamoemoega e faavavau.

Mafaufau i mea ua e aoaoina e uiga i lou faasinomaga o se atalii/afafine o le Atua. Mafaufau i lou sootaga ma Ia. Mafaufau i mea ua Ia aoaoina oe e uiga i lou faamoemoega ma lou gafatia. Mafaufau i aafiaga na e maua i le aoaoina o le Igilisi. Na faapefea ona e lagonaina o Ia o fesoasoani ia te oe e fai mea sa e manatu e le mafai?

O lou aafiaga i le faipaaga ma le Atua e a’oa’o ai, ua saunia ai oe e fesoasoani i isi.

Na aoaoina i tatou e Iesu : “Ou te tuu atu ia te outou ia avea outou ma malamalama o lenei nuu. … O lea ia faasusulu atu ai lo outou malamalama i luma o lenei nuu, ina ia latou vaai ai ia outou galuega lelei ma viia lo outou Tama o i le lagi” (3 Nifae 12:14, 16).

Ua ia te oe le tele o le malamalama e faasoa atu. E mafai ona avea oe ma se faataitaiga o le auala e mafai ai e le Atua ona fesoasoani i Ana fanau e a’oa’o ma agai i luma. E mafai ona e faasoa atu le auala na fesoasoani ai le Atua ia te oe e a’oa’o le Igilisi. E mafai ona e fesoasoani i isi e a’oa’o e faipaaga ma le Atua ina ia ausia ai lo latou gafatia. E mafai ona e faasoa atu ia i latou le auala na e talitonu ai i le faamatalaga “O a’u o se atalii/afafine o le Atua e i ai le gafatia ma le faamoemoega e faavavau.”

Ponder

• E mafai faapefea ona faaauau pea ona e atiina ae lau sootaga ma lou Tama Faalelagi a o e a’oa’o ma tuputupu a’e?
