A WELCOME GUEST

‘OKU TALITALI FIEFIA KOE

GALATIANS 5:1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

KALETIA 5:1

KO E tau‘atāina koā na‘e fakatau‘atāina kitaua ki ai ‘e Kalaisi? Pe‘i mou tu‘u ma‘u ai, pea ‘oua te mou toe mo‘ua ‘i he ‘ioke fakapōpula.

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

This "liberty" makes us free to heaven's charter--the Bible. Here is a choice passage, believer: "When thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee." You are free to that. Here is another: "The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee”; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the Promises.

Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith and you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father's love-token; thou art free to it at all times.

CHARLES SPURGEON

Ko e “tau’ataina” ko ‘eni, ‘oku ne faka’atā kitautolu ki he konisitutone ‘o loto langi – ko e Tohitapu.  Ko e potu tohi fakakoloa eni: “ka ke ka ‘alu ‘i he vai, te u ‘iate koe” (‘Aisea 43:2).  ‘Oku ke ma’u ‘a e ngofua ki he tapuaki  ko ‘eni.  Ko e palomesi eni ‘e taha: “seuke, ‘e hiki nai ‘a e ngaahi mo’unga pea ngaue ‘a e ngaahi potu ma’olunga; ka ‘e ‘ikai hiki ‘eku ‘ofa meiate koe” (‘Aisea 54:10).  ‘Oku ‘i ai ho’o ngofua ki he tala ko ‘eni.  ‘Oku fakaafe’i koe ki he tepile ‘o e ngaahi palomesi ‘a e ‘Otua.

Ko e Folofola, ko ha koloa pau mo ta’e toe ue’ia pea ko e feleoko ‘oku fonu ‘i he ngaahi kelesi kehekehe.  Ko e pangikē ia ‘o hevani; ‘oku ‘atā ke ke toho ta’e fakangatangata mei ai.  Ha’u ‘i he tui pea ‘oku talitali koe ki he ngaahi tapuaki kehekehe ‘o e kovinanite ‘a e ‘Otua.  ‘Oku ‘ikai ha palomesi ‘i he Folofola ‘e ta’ofi meiate koe.  ‘I he uhouhonga ‘o ho ngaahi mamahi, tuku ke hoko ‘a e tau’ataina ko ‘eni ko ho fakanonga; ‘i he hake ‘a e peau ‘o e mo’ui, tuku ke ne fakafiemālie koe; pea ‘i he hake’uta ‘a e faingata’a, tuku ke ne hoko ko ha taulanga ū.  Ko e koloa malu’i eni ‘a e Tamai ke fakahaa’i ‘aki ‘ene ‘ofa kiate koe; ‘oku ke ‘atā ki he ngaahi tapuaki ko ‘eni ‘i ha taimi pe ‘oku ke fiema’u ai.
