Na‘e haohaoa ‘ene ngaue‘i hoku fakamo‘uí

( Christ did it perfectly for me)

Fehu‘i #33

‘Oku totonu nai ke toe kumi ‘e he kau tui kia Kalaisí honau fakamo‘uí mei he‘enau ngaué, pe ko ha toe potu kehe?

‘Ikai, ‘oku ‘ikai totonu ke nau toe fai ha me‘a, he kuo kakato ‘a e me‘a kotoa ki he fakamo‘uí ‘ia Kalaisi. Ka toe fai ha kumi fakamo‘ui mei ha ngaue lelei, pea tā kuo te faka‘ikai‘i ko Kalaisi tokotaha pe ‘a e huhu‘í mo e fakamo‘uí.

Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else?

No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior.

KALETIA 2:16

Ka ‘i he‘eta ‘ilo ‘oku ‘ikai fakatonuhia ha tangata mei he ngaahi ngāue faka-Lao, kae ngata pē ‘i he tui kia Sīsū Kalaisi, ko ia, ko kitaua foki na‘a ta tui kia Kalaisi Sīsū, koe‘uhi ke ta ma‘u fakatonuhia mei he tui kia Kalaisi, ‘o ‘ikai mei he ngaahi ngāue faka-Lao: koe‘uhi ko e me‘a ki he ngaahi ngāue faka-Lao, ‘e tu‘u mola ai ‘a e kakano kotoa pē, ‘o ‘ikai hanau fakatonuhia mei ai.

GALATIANS 2:16

Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Commentary - TIMOTHY KELLER (cont…)

It's the same with Jesus Christ's work. Because when Jesus died, he said, "It is finished." There is nothing else to add to it. It's perfect. And if you add to it, you subtract from it. If you say, "He did this but I have to add this," anything you add becomes the real basis of your salvation and makes you your own savior.
