Ko Sehova ʼe Ko He ʼAtua Loto Fakafetaʼi
Ko Sehova ʼe Ko He ʼAtua Loto Fakafetaʼi
“E mole agakovi te Atua pea e mole ina galoi [takotou ʼu] gaue mo [tokotou] ofa nee koutou fakaha o uhiga mo tona Huafa.”—Hepeleo 6:10.
1. ʼE fakahā feafeaʼi e Sehova ia tona ʼofa ʼaē ki te fafine Moapite ko Lute?
KO SEHOVA ʼe ina leleiʼia ʼaupitō te ʼu faiga ʼa nātou ʼaē ʼe natou kumi moʼoni ke natou fai tona finegalo, pea ʼe lahi te ʼu tapuakina ʼe natou maʼu. (Hepeleo 11:6) Neʼe ʼiloʼi lelei e te tagata agatonu ko Poase ia te kalitātē taulekaleka ʼaia ʼo te ʼulugaaga ʼo te ʼAtua, he neʼe ina ʼui fēnei ki te fafine Moapite ko Lute, ʼaē neʼe tokaga fakalelei ki te faʼē vītua ʼo tona ʼohoana: “ ʼOfa pē ke fakapale e Sehova tau aga, pea ʼofa pē ko he totogi kātoa ʼaē kā ke maʼu anai mai ia Sehova.” (Lute 2:12) Neʼe tapuakinaʼi koa e te ʼAtua ia Lute? ʼEī! Pea ʼe fakamatala tona hisitolia ʼi te Tohi-Tapu! Tahi ʼaē meʼa, neʼe ʼohoana ia mo Poase pea neʼe liliu ia ko te kui fafine ʼo te Hau ko Tavite pea mo Sesu Kilisito. (Lute 4:13, 17; Mateo 1:5, 6, 16) ʼE mole ko te gataʼaga pē ʼaenī ʼo te ʼu faʼifaʼitaki ʼi te Tohi-Tapu, ʼe hā ai ko Sehova ʼe ʼofa ki tana ʼu kaugana.
2, 3. (a) Ko te faʼahi fea ʼaē ʼe makehe ai te loto fakafetaʼi ʼa Sehova? (b) He koʼē ʼe lava fakahā e Sehova te loto fakafetaʼi moʼoni? Kotou tuku mai he faʼifaʼitaki.
2 ʼE faka ʼuhiga anai ko Sehova ʼe heʼe faitotonu mo kapau ʼe mole ina fakahā he loto fakafetaʼi. ʼE ʼui fēnei iā Hepeleo 6:10: “E mole agakovi te Atua pea e mole ina galoi [takotou ʼu] gaue mo [tokotou] ofa nee koutou fakaha o uhiga mo tona Huafa, i [takotou] tauhi te kaigalotu pea e kei koutou fai aipe.” Ko te meʼa ʼaē ʼe makehe ʼi te manatu ʼo te vaega ʼaenī, heʼe ko te ʼAtua logolā te ʼuhiga agahala ʼo te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe tauhi agatonu age kiā te ia pea mo tanatou mole aʼu ki tona kolōlia, kae ʼe loto fakafetaʼi ki te ʼu gāue ʼaē ʼe natou fai.—Loma 3:23.
3 ʼUhi ko totatou ʼuhiga agahala, ʼe lagi hagē kiā tātou ʼe mole faʼa maʼuhiga tatatou ʼu gāue faka lotu pea ʼe mole tuha mo tātou ia te tapuakina ʼa te ʼAtua. Kae ʼe mahino lelei ia Sehova ki te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou fai he meʼa pea mo te ʼu ʼaluʼaga ʼo totatou maʼuli, pea ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupitō kiā te ia tatatou tauhi age mo totatou loto kātoa. (Mateo 22:37) Tou toʼo he faʼifaʼitaki: ʼE maʼu e he faʼē ʼi te laupapa ia he meʼa ʼofa, ko he kahoa ʼe mole totogi kovi. ʼE feala ke mole faʼa maʼuhiga kiā ia te meʼa ʼofa ʼaia pea mo ina liʼaki. Kae ʼe tohi ʼi te kate ʼo te meʼa ʼofa ʼaia, neʼe ko tana kiʼi taʼahine ʼaē neʼe ina fai age, pea neʼe ina fakaʼaogaʼi fuli tana foʼi falā ʼaē neʼe ina tānaki moʼo totogi ʼo te meʼa ʼofa ʼaia. ʼI te lakaga leva ʼaia kua hagē te meʼa ʼofa ki te faʼē kua makehe age tona maʼuhiga. ʼI tana fāʼufua ki tana kiʼi taʼahine ʼe lagi loʼa ʼona mata, pea ʼuma kiai ʼo fakahā age ia tana leleiʼia tona meʼa ʼofa.
4, 5. Neʼe faʼifaʼitakiʼi feafeaʼi e Sesu ia Sehova ʼi te fakahā ʼo te loto fakafetaʼi?
4 ʼI te ʼiloʼi lelei ʼaē e Sehova ia te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe tou fai pea mo totatou ʼu tuʼakoi, ʼe ina leleiʼia mokā tou foaki age te meʼa ʼaē ʼe lelei, tatau aipē peʼe veliveli peʼe lahi. ʼO ʼuhiga mo te faʼahi ʼaia, ko Sesu neʼe ko he fakatā haohaoa ʼo tana Tamai. Kotou manatuʼi te fakamatala ʼi te Tohi-Tapu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fafine vītua masiva. “I te tagaki ake ona fofoga, nee mamata Sesu ki te tuku e te hahai maukoloa anatou meaofa ki te tanakiʼaga koloa. Pea nee mamata ki he finetaka masiva nee ina tuku ki ai tana kii fala-lua. Pea nee folafola maʼana: ‘Mooni, e au tala atu kia koutou, e lahiʼage te mea nee tuku e te finetaka masiva aeni ia natou fuli. Koteuhi nee natou li te toe o onatou koloa ki te u molaga, kae kia te ia, mai tona masiva, nee ina li te mea nee ina mau, tona mauliʼaga katoa.’ ”—Luka 21:1-4.
5 ʼEī, ʼi tana mahino ki te maʼuli ʼo te fafine—neʼe ko he fafine vītua pea neʼe maʼuli masiva—neʼe mahino kiā Sesu ia te maʼuhiga moʼoni ʼo tona meʼa ʼofa, pea neʼe ina faka maʼuhigaʼi. ʼE toe fēia pē mo Sehova. (Soane 14:9) ʼE mole koa lā ko he fakaloto mālohi hatatou ʼiloʼi ia te meʼa ʼaia logolā te ʼaluʼaga ʼo totatou maʼuli, kae ʼe feala ke leleiʼia tātou e totatou ʼAtua pea mo tona ʼAlo, heʼe nā leleiʼia te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe tou fai?
Neʼe Fakapale e Sehova Ia Te Tagata Etiopea ʼAē Neʼe Manavasiʼi Ki Te ʼAtua
6, 7. He koʼē neʼe fakahā e Sehova tana leleiʼia ia Epeti-Meleki, pea neʼe ina fakahā feafeaʼi ki ai?
6 ʼE tuʼa lahi te fakahā ʼi te Tohi-Tapu ia te leleiʼia e Sehova ia nātou ʼaē ʼe natou fai tona finegalo. Tou vakaʼi te felōgoi ʼa te ʼAtua mo te tagata Etiopea ko Epeti-Meleki ʼaē neʼe manavasiʼi kiā te ia, pea neʼe maʼuli ʼi te temi ʼo Selemia pea neʼe kaugana ʼi te loto fale ʼo te Hau heʼe agatonu ko Setesiasi ʼo Suta. Neʼe ʼiloʼi e Epeti-Meleki, neʼe fai e te ʼu tama ʼaliki ʼo Suta ia te ʼu tukugākovi hala ʼo ʼuhiga mo te polofetā ko Selemia, ʼe fakafeagai ki te puleʼaga pea neʼe natou lī leva ia ia ki te foʼi vai keli, ke mate pakupaku ai. (Selemia 38:1-7) ʼI tana ʼiloʼi ʼaē neʼe fehiʼaʼinaʼi ʼaupitō ia Selemia ʼuhi ko te logo ʼaē neʼe ina faka mafola, neʼe tali e Epeti-Meleki hona matehi kae neʼe ʼalu ʼo tagi ki te hau ʼo ʼuhiga mo Selemia. ʼAki he lototoʼa, neʼe lea fēnei ia te tagata Etiopea: “Ê ʼaliki toku hau, neʼe agakovi te ʼu tagata ʼaia ki te polofetā ko Selemia, pea neʼe natou lī ia ia ki te vai keli, ke mate pakupaku ai.” ʼI te fakatotonu ʼa te hau, neʼe toʼo ai e Epeti-Meleki te ʼu tagata e toko 30 pea mo fakahola ia te polofetā ʼa te ʼAtua.—Selemia 38:8-13.
7 Neʼe sio ia Sehova ki te tui ʼa Epeti-Meleki, pea neʼe tokoni ki ai ke ina tauʼi te mataku ʼi te ʼu ʼaluʼaga ʼaē ʼe feala ke tau mo ia. Koia, neʼe fakahā e Sehova tana leleiʼia ia Epeti-Meleki, pea neʼe ina ʼui fēnei kiā te ia ʼaki ia Selemia: “Koʼenī ʼe au fakahoko taku ʼu folafola ki te kolo nei, ki te malaʼia kae mole ki he meʼa lelei . . . Pea ʼe au haofaki anai koe ʼi te ʼaho ʼaia, . . . pea ʼe mole tuku anai koe ki te nima ʼo te kau tagata ʼaē ʼe ke mataku kiai. Heʼe au haofaki moʼoni anai koe . . . ʼeī, ko tou totogi ʼe ke maʼu anai ko tou nefesi, he neʼe ke tuku tau falala kiā te au.” (Selemia 39:16-18) ʼEī, neʼe haofaki e Sehova ia Epeti-Meleki, ʼo fēia mo Selemia, mai te agakovi ʼo te kau tama ʼaliki ʼo Suta pea ki muli age mai te kau Papiloni, ʼaē neʼe natou fakaʼauha ia Selusalemi. ʼE ʼui fēnei iā Pesalemo 97:10: “[Ko Sehova] ʼe ina taupau te ʼu nefesi ʼo tana kau agatonu; mai te nima ʼo te kau agakovi, ʼe ina haofaki ia nātou.”
“Ko Tau Tamai e Sio i Te Lilo, e Ina Liufaki Atu Anai Kia Te Koe”
8, 9. Ohagē ko tona fakahā e Sesu, ko te ʼu faikole fea ʼaē ʼe leleiʼia e Sehova?
8 ʼI te Tohi-Tapu, ko te faikole ʼe ko he tahi ʼaia fakamoʼoni ko Sehova ʼe ina leleiʼia pea mo faka maʼuhigaʼi tatatou pipiki age kiā te ia. Neʼe ʼui fēnei e te tagata poto: “Ko te faikole ʼa te hahaʼi agatonu ʼe ko he meʼa fakafiafia kiā te ia.” (Tāʼaga Lea 15:8) Neʼe tokolahi te kau takitaki lotu ʼi te temi ʼo Sesu neʼe natou faikole ʼi muʼa ʼo te kaugamālie, kae neʼe faka mālualoi tanatou aga faka lotu, he neʼe natou loto ke vikiʼi nātou e te hahaʼi. Neʼe ʼui fēnei e Sesu: “Kua natou mau tonatou fakapale.” Neʼe ina fakatotonu fēnei ki tana kau tisipulo: “Kae . . . , ka ke faikole, hu ki tou kogafale pea ke tapunu tou matapa, faikole i ai ki tau Tamai i te lilo; pea ko tau Tamai e sio i te lilo, e ina liufaki atu anai kia te koe.”—Mateo 6:5, 6.
9 ʼE moʼoni ia, neʼe mole tauteaʼi e Sesu te ʼu faikole ʼaē ʼe fai ʼi muʼa ʼo te kaugamālie, heʼe mo ia totonu pē lā ʼi ʼihi temi neʼe faikole ʼi muʼa ʼo te kaugamālie. (Luka 9:16) ʼE leleiʼia ʼaupitō e Sehova mokā tou faikole age ʼaki he loto kātoa, ʼo mole tou fai ke vikiʼi tātou e te hahaʼi. Kae kā tou faikole ʼāteaina, ʼe tou fakahā te lelei ʼo tatatou ʼu felōgoi mo te ʼAtua pea mo tatatou falala ʼaē kiā te ia. Koia, ʼe mole tou punamaʼuli ai, ʼi te agamāhani ko Sesu neʼe ina kumi he ʼu koga meʼa lāvaki ke faikole ai. ʼI te tahi ʼaho, neʼe faikole “i te hegihegi, kae kei fakapouli.” ʼI te tahi lakaga, “nee hake tokotahi ia ki te mouga o faikole.” Pea ʼi muʼa ʼo tana filifili tana kau ʼapositolo e toko 12, neʼe faikole ia Sesu ʼi te pō kātoa.—Maleko 1:35; Mateo 14:23; Luka 6:12, 13.
10. Kā hā ʼi tatatou ʼu faikole he aga fakamālotoloto pea mo he ʼu manatu loloto, koteā ʼaē ʼe feala ke tou ʼiloʼi papau ai?
10 Kotou fakafuafua age muʼa ki te fakalogo lelei ʼa Sehova ki te ʼu faikole fakamālotoloto age ʼo tona ʼAlo! ʼIo, ʼi ʼihi temi neʼe faikole ia Sesu “ ʼaki te ʼu lāuga mālohi pea mo te ʼu loʼimata . . . pea neʼe tali leleiʼi ia ia ʼuhi ko tana manavasiʼi ki te ʼAtua.” (Hepeleo 5:7, MN; Luka 22:41-44) Kā hā ʼi tatatou ʼu faikole he aga fakamālotoloto fēia pea mo he ʼu manatu loloto, ʼe feala hatatou ʼiloʼi papau ko tatatou Tamai ʼaē ʼe ʼi selō, ʼe fakalogo lelei pea mo ina leleiʼia tatatou ʼu faikole. ʼEī, “ ʼe ovi ia Sehova kiā nātou fuli ʼaē ʼe fetapā age kiā te ia, . . . ʼi te agatonu.”—Pesalemo 145:18.
11. ʼE feafeaʼi ia Sehova ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe tou fai ʼi te lilo?
11 Kapau ʼe leleiʼia e Sehova mokā tou faikole age kiā te ia ʼi te fakalilo, ʼe ina toe leleiʼia pē foki mokā tou fakalogo age kiā te ia ʼi te lilo! ʼEī, ʼe ʼiloʼi e Sehova te meʼa ʼaē ʼe tou fai ʼi te lilo. (1 Petelo 3:12) ʼIo, kā tou agatonu pea mo fakalogo mokā tou nofo tokotahi, ʼe tou fakahā ʼi te temi ʼaia kua ‘kātoa totatou loto’ kiā Sehova, ko he loto ʼe maʼa pea mo pipiki maʼu ki te meʼa ʼaē ʼe totonu. (1 Fakamatala 28:9) ʼE fiafia te loto ʼo Sehova ʼi te aga ʼaia!—Tāʼaga Lea 27:11; 1 Soane 3:22.
12, 13. ʼE feafeaʼi hatatou lava puipui totatou ʼatamai pea mo totatou loto, pea mo tou hagē ko te tisipulo agatonu ko Natanaele?
12 Koia, ko te kau Kilisitiano agatonu ʼe natou tōkakaga ke ʼaua naʼa natou fai he ʼu agahala fakafufū ʼe lava ʼulihi ai te ʼatamai pea mo te loto, ohagē ko te sioʼi ʼo he ʼu ʼata ʼe fai ai ni ʼu felāveʼi fakasino heʼeʼaoga pea mo te agamālohi. ʼE feala ki ʼihi agahala ke mole ʼiloʼi e te tagata, kae tou manatuʼi ko “meafuape e telefua mo fasi ifo i ona mua, Iaʼia ae e tonu ke tou fakaau ki ai.” (Hepeleo 4:13; Luka 8:17) ʼI tatatou tekeʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe mole leleiʼia e Sehova, ʼe tou taupau ai he leʼo ʼo loto ʼe maʼa pea mo fiafia ʼi tatatou ʼiloʼi ʼaē ʼe leleiʼia tātou e te ʼAtua. ʼEī, ʼe mole tou lotolotolua ko Sehova ʼe ina leleiʼia moʼoni te tagata “ ʼaē ʼe haʼele agatonu pea mo ina maʼuliʼi te faitotonu, pea mo maʼu te moʼoni ʼi tona loto.”—Pesalemo 15:1, 2.
13 ʼE feafeaʼi hatatou lava puipui totatou ʼatamai pea mo totatou loto ʼi he mālama ʼe fonu ai te agakovi? (Tāʼaga Lea 4:23; Efeso 2:2) ʼE mole gata pē ʼi tatatou fakaʼaogaʼi lelei te ʼu fakatuʼutuʼu fakalaumālie fuli ʼaē ʼe tou maʼu, ʼe tonu ke tou tekeʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe kovi pea mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe lelei, ʼo foimo fakamate te ʼu holi ʼaē ʼe mole lelei pea mo fakatupu ai he agahala. (Sakopo 1:14, 15) Kanapau lā neʼe ko koutou ʼaē neʼe ʼui atu kiai e Sesu te ʼu palalau ʼaē neʼe ina fai kiā Natanaele, ʼe lagi kotou fiafia: “Koeni he tagata . . . e mole mau he kaka ia te ia.” (Soane 1:47) Ko Natanaele, ʼaē neʼe toe higoaʼi ko Paletolomeo, ki muli age neʼe ina maʼu te pilivilēsio ʼaē ke kau ki te toko 12 kau ʼapositolo ʼa Sesu.—Maleko 3:16-19.
“Ko He Pelepitelō Lahi ʼe Agaʼofa Pea Mo Agatonu”
14. Neʼe faka ʼuhigaʼi feafeaʼi e Sesu te meʼa ʼaē neʼe fai e Malia ʼo mole tatau tana mahino mo nātou ʼaē?
14 Ko Sesu ʼe ko “te pāki ʼo te ʼAtua fakapulipuli” ko Sehova, koia ʼi te temi fuli pē ʼe ina faʼifaʼitakiʼi fakalelei tana Tamai ʼo ina fakahā tana leleiʼia ia nātou ʼaē ʼe tauhi ki te ʼAtua mo he loto ʼe maʼa. (Kolose 1:15, MN ) Ohagē lā, iā ʼaho e nima ʼi muʼa ʼo te mate ʼa Sesu, neʼe fakaafe ia ia pea mo tana tahi ʼu tisipulo ki te ʼapi ʼo Simone ʼo Petania. Lolotoga te pōʼuli, ko Malia te tehina ʼo Maleta pea mo tuagaʼane ʼo Lasalo “nee [ina] tooʼage . . . he hina lolo naleto taufúa nee totogi mamafa aupito” (e teitei pē ko te totogi ʼo te taʼu kātoa), pea ina liligi ki te ʼulu pea mo te ʼu vaʼe ʼo Sesu. (Soane 12:3) Neʼe ʼui age e ʼihi: “Moʼoā te maumau noa ʼaia?” Kae neʼe mahino ia Sesu ki te meʼa ʼaē neʼe fai e Malia. Neʼe ina faka ʼuhigaʼi te meʼa ʼaē neʼe ina fai ko he toe manavaʼofa lahi pea mo he faka maʼuhigaʼi ʼaupitō e Malia ia tona mate pea mo tona ʼavaifo ʼaē kua vave hoko mai. Koia, neʼe ina vikiʼi ai ia Malia, kae neʼe mole ina tauteaʼi te meʼa ʼaē neʼe ina fai age kiā te ia. Neʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “ ʼI te potu fuli pē ʼe faka mafola ai anai te logo lelei ʼaenī ʼi te mālamanei kātoa, ʼe toe fakamatala ai anai, ʼo fakamanatu kiā te ia, te meʼa ʼaē neʼe fai e te fafine nei.”—Mateo 26:6-13, MN.
15, 16. ʼE fua lelei feafeaʼi kiā tātou ia te maʼuli ʼo Sesu pea mo tana tauhi ki te ʼAtua ʼi tana maʼuli ʼi te kele?
15 ʼI pilivilēsio lahi leva ʼi tatatou maʼu he taʼi tagata loto fakafetaʼi ohagē ko Sesu ko hatatou Takitaki! ʼI tona fakahagatonu, ko te maʼuli ʼo Sesu ʼi te kele, neʼe ina teuteuʼi ia ia ki te gāue ʼaē neʼe fakatuʼutuʼu e Sehova ke ina fakahoko—ke liliu ko he Pelepitelō Lahi pea mo Hau, ʼuluaki ki te kōkelekāsio ʼo te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo pea ki muli age ki te mālamanei.—Kolose 1:13; Hepeleo 7:26; Apokalipesi 11:15.
16 ʼI muʼa ʼo tana tupu tagata ʼi te kele, neʼe kua ʼofa ʼaupitō ia Sesu pea mo tokaga makehe ki te mālamanei. (Tāʼaga Lea 8:31) ʼI tana maʼuli ʼi te kele, neʼe toe lahi age tana tokagaʼi te ʼu ʼahiʼahi ʼaē neʼe tau mo tātou ʼuhi ko tatatou tauhi ki te ʼAtua. Neʼe tohi fēnei e te ʼapositolo ko Paulo: “Neʼe tonu ke liliu [ia Sesu] ʼo tatau mo tona ʼu ‘tehina’ ʼi te ʼu faʼahi fuli pē, ke feala ai hana liliu ko he pelepitelō lahi . . . Mai tona ʼaluʼaga ʼaē neʼe mamahi ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe ʼahiʼahiʼi ai ia ia, koia ʼe feala ai hana tokoni kiā nātou ʼaē ʼe ʼahiʼahiʼi.” ʼE lava ‘mahino Sesu ki ʼotatou vaivaiʼaga,’ koteʼuhi ‘neʼe kua ʼahiʼahiʼi ia ʼi te ʼu faʼahi fuli pē ohagē ko tātou, kae neʼe mole hana agahala.’—Hepeleo 2:17, 18, MN; 4:15, 16.
17, 18. (a) Koteā ʼaē ʼe hā mai ʼi te ʼu tohi ʼaē neʼe fai e Sesu ki te ʼu kōkelekāsio e fitu ʼo Asia Veliveli ʼo ʼuhiga mo tona loto fakafetaʼi lahi? (b) Koteā ʼaē neʼe teuteu kiai te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo ʼaia?
17 Neʼe hā lelei ʼi te fakatuʼuake ʼo Sesu ia tana tokagaʼi te ʼu faigataʼaʼia ʼaē neʼe tau mo tana kau tisipulo. Kotou fakatokagaʼi tana ʼu tohi ʼaē neʼe ina fai ki te ʼu kōkelekāsio e fitu ʼi Asia Veliveli, ohagē ko tona tohi e te ʼapositolo ko Soane. Neʼe ʼui fēnei e Sesu ki te kōkelekāsio ʼi Simina: “E au iloi tou mamahi mo tou masiva.” ʼI henī, neʼe fia ʼui e Sesu: ‘ ʼE au mahino lelei ki te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe lolotoga hoko kiā te koe.’ ʼOsi ʼaia, ʼuhi he neʼe mamahi ʼo iku ai mo tona matehi, neʼe ina hilifaki ki te manavaʼofa pea mo te pule, ʼo ʼui māʼana: “Agatonu o kaku ki te mate, pea e au foaki atu anai kia te koe te kolona o te mauli.”—Apokalipesi 2:8-10.
18 ʼI te ʼu tohi ʼaē neʼe fai e Sesu ki te ʼu kōkelekāsio e fitu, ʼe tuʼa lahi ai tana fai he ʼu palalau ʼe hā mai tana mahino kātoa ki te ʼu fihifihia ʼaē neʼe tau mo tana kau tisipulo pea tona loto fakafetaʼi moʼoni ʼo ʼuhiga mo tanatou nofo agatonu. (Apokalipesi 2:1–3:22) Kotou manatuʼi ko nātou ʼaē neʼe faitohi kiai Sesu neʼe ko te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo, pea neʼe natou maʼu ia te ʼamanaki ʼaē ke natou kaugā hau mo ia ʼi selō. ʼO mulimuli ʼi te ʼu tapugā vaʼe ʼo tonatou ʼAliki, neʼe teuteuʼi nātou ki he tuʼulaga māʼoluga ʼaē ko te lagolago ki te fakahoko ʼaki he manavaʼofa lahi ia te ʼu lelei ʼo te sākilifisio faitotogi ʼo Kilisito maʼa te mālamanei ʼaē ʼe tau mo te mamahi.—Apokalipesi 5:9, 10; 22:1-5.
19, 20. ʼE feafeaʼi kiā nātou ʼaē ʼe natou faʼufaʼu te “toe hahaʼi tokolahi” tanatou fakahā ia tonatou loto fakafetaʼi ʼaē kiā Sehova pea mo tona ʼAlo?
19 ʼIo, ko te ʼofa ʼo Sesu ki tana kau tisipulo fakanofo neʼe ina toe fakahā foki ki tana “tahi ʼu ovi,” ia te ʼu toko lauʼi miliona hahaʼi ʼaē ʼi te temi nei ʼe natou faʼufaʼu “te toe hahaʼi tokolahi . . . mai te ʼu fenua fuli,” pea ʼe natou hao mai anai mai “te toe mamahi lahi” ʼaē kā ʼamanaki hoko mai. (Soane 10:16, MN; Apokalipesi 7:9, 14, MN ) Ko nātou ʼaia ʼe natou fakatahitahi iā tafa ʼo Sesu, heʼe natou loto fakafetaʼi ki tana sākilifisio faitotogi pea mo te ʼamanaki ʼaē ʼe natou maʼu ki te maʼuli heʼegata. ʼE natou fakahā feafeaʼi tonatou loto fakafetaʼi? ʼE natou fakahā ʼaki tanatou “foaki [ki te ʼAtua] he tauhi [taputapu] ʼi te ʼaho mo te pō.”—Apokalipesi 7:15-17, MN.

21 ʼO ʼuhiga mo tanā ʼu felōgoi mo te hahaʼi heʼe haohaoa, neʼe fakahā e Sehova pea mo tona ʼAlo ia he loto fakafetaʼi lahi ʼe mole hona fakatatau. Kae meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa, heʼe ʼi te tōkakaga fau ʼa te tokolahi ki tanatou ʼu meʼa neʼe mole natou tokagaʼi te ʼAtua. ʼI tana fakamatalatala te maʼuli ʼo te hahaʼi ʼi “te u aho fakamuli,” neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “E liliu anai te hahai o tahi ofa pe kia te ia, o manumanu paaga . . . o heeʼofa.” (2 Timoteo 3:1-5) ʼE kehekehe te hahaʼi ʼaia mo te kau Kilisitiano moʼoni, ʼaē ʼe natou fakahā tonatou loto fakafetaʼi kiā meʼa fuli ʼaē neʼe fai e te ʼAtua maʼa nātou ʼaki tanatou ʼu faikole fakamālotoloto, mo tanatou fakalogo kātoa, pea mo tanatou tauhi mo he loto kātoa kiā te ia!—Pesalemo 62:8; Maleko 12:30; 1 Soane 5:3.
22 ʼI te ʼalatike ʼaē kā hoa mai, ʼe tou vakaʼi anai te ʼu tuʼuga fakatuʼutuʼu fakalaumālie neʼe fai e Sehova maʼa tātou ʼaki te ʼofa. Kapau ʼe tou fakakaukauʼi te ʼu ‘meʼa ʼofa lelei’ ʼaia, ʼofa pē ke lahi age totatou loto fakafetaʼi.—Sakopo 1:17.

• Mokā tou tokotahi, ʼe feafeaʼi hatatou lava fakafiafiaʼi te loto ʼo Sehova?
• Ko te ʼu ʼaluʼaga fea ʼaē neʼe fakahā ai e Sesu ia he loto fakafetaʼi?
• ʼI te maʼuli ʼo Sesu ʼi te kele, neʼe ina fakahā feafeaʼi ko he takitaki manavaʼofa pea mo loto fakafetaʼi?
