Ko Hai ʻa e ʻOtuá? Ko Hai ʻa e Huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá? ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia tonu: “Ko au Sihova. Ko hoku hingoá ia.” (ʻAisea 42:8) Ko e huafa fakafoʻituitui ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku hā tuʻo 7,000 nai ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Kae kehe, ʻoku lahi ʻa e ngaahi liliu Tohi Tapu ʻoku nau fetongi taʻetotonu ʻa e hingoa ko ení ʻaki ha hingoa fakalakanga, ʻo hangē ko e “ʻEiki.” ʻOku loto ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ke hoko ko hono kaumeʻa, ko ia ʻokú ne fakalototoʻaʻi koe ke “ui ki hono huafá.”—Saame 105:1.

Ngaahi Hingoa Fakalakanga ʻo Sihová. ʻOku lave ʻa e Tohi Tapú kia Sihova ʻaki ha ngaahi hingoa fakalakanga ko e “ʻOtua,” “Māfimafi-Aoniu,” “Tokotaha-Fakatupu,” “Tamai,” “ʻEiki,” mo e “Hau.” ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi lotu kuo lēkooti ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻa ia ʻoku fai kia Sihova ʻo ngāueʻaki fakatouʻosi ha hingoa fakalakanga ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ai mo hono huafa fakafoʻituituí, ʻa e Sihová.—Taniela 9:4.

 Anga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e ʻOtuá ko ha laumālie taʻehāmai. (Sione 4:24) ʻOku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú “kuo ʻikai ha tangata kuó ne mātā ʻa e ʻOtuá.” (Sione 1:18) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻene ngaahi ongoʻí. Ko e kakaí ʻoku lava ke nau ʻai ia ke loto-mamahi, pe “ʻoatu . . . ʻa e fiefia kiate ia.”—Palōveepi 11:20; Saame 78:40, 41.

Ngaahi ʻUlungaanga Fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku taʻefilifilimānako ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá mo e ngaahi puipuituʻá kotoa. (Ngāue 10:34, 35) ʻOkú ne toe “mohu meesi mo manavaʻofa, tuai ki he houhau pea fonu ʻi he ʻofa mateaki mo e moʻoni.” (ʻEkisoto 34:6, 7) Kae kehe, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ha ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻe fā ʻoku tautefito ʻene fakamānakó.

Mālohi. Koeʻuhi ko ia ʻa e “ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú,” kuó ne maʻu ʻa e mālohi taʻefakangatangata ke fakahoko ha meʻa pē ʻokú ne talaʻofa ke faí.—Sēnesi 17:1.

Poto. Ko e poto ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku fakalaka atu ia ʻi ha toe taha. ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko ia “toko taha pē ʻoku potó.”—Loma 16:27.

Fakamaau Totonu. Kuo fai maʻu pē ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tonú. Ko ʻene ngaahi ngāué ʻoku “haohaoa,” pea “ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito taʻefaitotonu.”—Teutalōnome 32:4.

ʻOfa. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú “ko e ʻOtuá ko e ʻofa.” (1 Sione 4:8) ʻOku ʻikai ngata pē hono fakahāhā ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻofá—ka ko iá ko e ʻofa. Ko ʻene ʻofa moʻoní ʻokú ne tataki ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē kuó ne faí, pea ʻoku tau maʻu ʻaonga kotoa ai ʻi ha ngaahi founga lahi.

ʻOku Kaumeʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e Faʻahinga ʻo e Tangatá. Ko e ʻOtuá ʻa ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní. (Mātiu 6:9) Kapau te tau tui kiate ia, ʻe lava ke tau hoko ko hono ngaahi kaumeʻa. (Saame 25:14) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fakaafeʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ke ʻunuʻunu ofi kiate ia ʻi he lotu pea ke “lī atu ʻa e kotoa hoʻomou loto-moʻuá kiate ia, koeʻuhí he ʻokú ne tokanga mai kiate kimoutolu.”—1 Pita 5:7; Sēmisi 4:8.

ʻOku ʻIkai ko e ʻOtuá ʻa Sīsū. ʻOku makehe ʻa Sīsū—he ko ia tokotaha pē naʻe fakatupu fakahangatonu ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ui ai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Sione 1:14) Hili hono fakatupu ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ʻuluaki fakatupú ko ha “tufunga pōtoʻi” ke fakatupu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē mo e tokotaha kotoa pē.—Palōveepi 8:30, 31; Kolose 1:15, 16.

 Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito taukaveʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ko ia ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI hono kehé ʻokú ne fakamatala: “Ko ha fakafofonga au [mei he ʻOtuá], pea ko e Tokotaha ko iá naʻá ne fekau mai aú.” (Sione 7:29) ʻI heʻene lea ki he taha ʻo ʻene kau ākongá, naʻe ui ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa Sihova ko “[ʻeku] Tamaí pea ko hoʻomou Tamai” pea “ko hoku ʻOtuá pea ko homou ʻOtua.” (Sione 20:17) Hili ʻa e pekia ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe toe fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe Sihova ke moʻui ʻi hēvani pea ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e mafai lahi ʻi Hono nima toʻomataʻú.—Mātiu 28:18; Ngāue 2:32, 33.

Lava ke Tokoniʻi Koe ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi Ke Ke ʻUnuʻUnu Ofi ki he ʻOtuá

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Sīsū ki he māmaní ke akoʻi kitautolu ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻene Tamaí. Naʻe lea ʻa Sihova tonu ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīsū: “Ko hoku ʻAló eni, ʻa e ʻofeiná. Mou fanongo kiate ia.” (Maʻake 9:7) ʻOku ʻiloʻi lelei ange ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi ha toe taha. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻiloʻi ko hai ʻa e Tamaí tuku kehe pē ʻa e ʻAló pea mo ha taha pē ʻa ia ʻoku loto-lelei ʻa e ʻAló ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e Tamaí ki aí.”—Luke 10:22.

ʻOku tapua haohaoa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe faʻifaʻitaki ofi ʻa Sīsū ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻene Tamaí ʻo ne pehē ai: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia kuó ne mātā aú kuó ne mātā foki ʻa e Tamaí.” (Sione 14:9) Naʻe tohoakiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kakaí ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e tapua atu ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻofa ʻene Tamaí fakafou ʻi heʻene leá mo ʻene ngāué. Naʻá ne pehē: “Ko au ʻa e halá pea mo e moʻoní pea mo e moʻuí. ʻOku ʻikai haʻu ha taha ki he Tamaí ka ʻi heʻene fou pē ʻiate au.” (Sione 14:6) Naʻá ne toe pehē: “Ko e kau lotu moʻoní te nau lotu ki he Tamaí ʻi he laumālie mo e moʻoni, he ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku kumi ʻa e Tamaí ki he faʻahinga peheé ke lotu ange kiate ia.” (Sione 4:23) Fakaʻuta atu! ʻOku vakai mai ʻa Sihova ki he kakai hangē ko koé ʻa ia ʻoku loto ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo iá.
