Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Muab Siab rau Ntseeg Yexus Khetos

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

Yexus Khetos pab tau kuv ua txhua yam thaum kuv muab siab rau ntseeg Nws.

Nyob hauv Phau Vaj Lug Kub Npaivnpaum, peb kawm txog ib tug poj niam uas mob ntev kawg li. Nws tau siv tag nrho nws cov nyiaj kom nrhiav ib txoj kev kho tau nws. Nws twb mus rau cov kws kho mob ntau, tiam sis nws haj yam mob xwb. Ces tus poj niam hnov txog Yexus. Nws pom nws nyob hauv ib pawg neeg. Nws ntseeg tias Yexus muaj hwj chim kho nws zoo. Nws ntseeg tias yog nws txawj kov nws cov khaub ncaws, ces nws yuav rov zoo. Nws tau los ze Yexus thiab kov Nws lub tw tsho. Nws tus mob txawm zoo kiag. Yexus tau hnov lub hwj chim tawm Nws lub cev mus. Thaum Nws nug seb leej twg kov Nws lub tw tsho, Nws ntshai qhia tias yog nws, tiam sis nws lees hais tias yog nws tiag.

Yexus hais tias, “Me ntxhais, koj tus mob zoo lawm, twb yog vim koj ntseeg. Koj cia li mus kaj siab lug” (Lukas 8:48).

Tus poj niam ntseeg, thiab nws ua raws li kev ntseeg. Kev ncav tes rau Yexus yog ib yam me me, tiam sis ua rau nws muaj Yexus lub hwj chim hauv nws lub neej. Koj tsis tas txaj muag los sis ntshai thov Vajtswv los pab koj. Nws xav pab koj tiag. Thaum koj muab siab rau ntseeg, txawm yog ua tej yam me los, ces yuav coj Yexus Khetos lub hwj chim hauv koj lub neej.
