OBJECTS OF LOVE

KO E TAUMU‘A ‘O ‘ENE ‘OFA´

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.

JAMES 1:17

‘Ilonga ha foaki lelei, pea ‘ilonga ha me‘a‘ofa haohaoa, ko e ‘alu hifo pē ia mei he Tamai ‘a e ngaahi maama, ‘a ia ‘oku ‘ikai ‘i He‘ene ‘Afio ha feto‘oaki, pe ko ha nenefu tupu ‘i ha‘ane liliu.

SEMISI 1:17

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

The Father gives us His promises, the Son signs them in His blood, and the Holy Spirit seals them with His signet. The Father ordains salvation to us, the Son acquires it, and the Holy Spirit applies it. The Father adopts us to be His children, the Son purchases us to be His members, and the Holy Spirit regenerates us to be His temples. So we become objects of the love of these three adorable persons, and as the Father takes particular care of us as His children, the Son and the Holy Spirit give themselves to us with all their graces.

Jesus Christ is our Surety to make satisfaction for us, our Head to give us life, our Prophet to promise us salvation in His Word, our Priest to merit it by His blood, and our King to apply it to us by His power. The Holy Spirit is our Doctor to teach us in our ignorance, our Comforter to gladden us in our afflictions, our Sanctifier to cleanse us of our stains, and our Life to deliver us from our death. In short, we find nothing in the Holy Trinity which is not ours, and which does not work for our good.
