Ko e hā ʻa e “fonua foʻou”? ʻOku ʻikai ko ha palanite foʻou ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku fakahaaʻi mahino ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko e foʻi māmaní ʻe nofoʻi ia ʻo taʻengata. Ko e “fonua foʻou” ko ha sōsaieti fakaetangata foʻou ia. ʻE foʻou iá koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻusi ʻa e kakai koví. (Palovepi 2:21, 22) Ko e faʻahinga kotoa leva ʻe moʻui he taimi ko iá te nau fakalāngilangiʻi mo talangofua ki he Tokotaha-Fakatupú pea te nau moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻú. (Sāme 22:27) Ko e kakai ʻo e fonua kotoa pē ʻoku fakaafeʻi ke nau ako ki he ngaahi fiemaʻu ko iá pea ke ʻomai ʻenau moʻuí ke fehoanaki mo ia he taimí ni. ʻOkú ke fai ia?

ʻI he māmani foʻou ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻe ʻapasiaʻi ai ʻe he tokotaha kotoa ʻa ʻEne tuʻunga-pulé. ʻOku hanga ʻe he ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá ʻo ueʻi koe ke ke talangofua kiate ia? (1 Sione 5:3) ʻOku hā mahino ia ʻi ho ʻapí? ʻi he ngāué pe ʻi he ʻapiakó? ʻi he founga ʻo hoʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa hoʻo moʻuí?

ʻI he māmani foʻou ko iá, ʻe fāʻūtaha ʻa e sōsaieti fakaetangatá ʻi he lotu ki he ʻOtua moʻoní. ʻOkú ke lotu ki he Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo hēvani mo māmaní? ʻOku hanga ʻe hoʻo lotú ʻo fakafāʻūtahaʻi moʻoni koe mo e kaungālotu ʻo e ngaahi fonua kotoa, matakali kotoa pea mo e lea kotoa?​—Sāme 86:9, 10; Aisea 2:2-4; Sefanaia 3:9.
