THE MYSTERIES OF GOD'S WORD

KO E MISITELI ‘O E FOLOFOLA ‘A E ‘OTUA

PSALM 103:7

He makes known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

SAAME 103:7

Na‘a ne fakahā hono ngaahi founga kia Mōsese, Pea ki ha‘a ‘Isileli ‘ene ngaahi ngāue.

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

“Bless the Lord," said David, "O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.” If there is a curiosity within us, it ought to be employed and developed in a search after truth. "All that is within me," sanctified by the Spirit, should be developed. And verily, the Christian man feels an intense longing to bury his ignorance and receive wisdom. If he, when in his natural estate panted for terrestrial knowledge, how much more ardent is the wish to unravel, if possible, the sacred mysteries of God's Word!

A true Christian is always intently reading and searching the Scripture that he may be able to certify himself as to its main and cardinal truths. I do not think much of that man who does not wish to understand doctrines; I cannot conceive him to be in a right position when he thinks it is no matter whether he believes a lie or truth, God's Word will ever be to a Christian a source of great anxiety: a sacred instinct within will lead him to pry into it; he will seek to understand it.

‘Oku pehe ‘e Tevita, “fakafeta’i kia Sihova hoku laumalie: mo ia kotoa pe ‘oku ‘iate au, fakafeta’i ki hono huafa ma’oni’oni” (Sāme 103:1).  Kapau ‘oku ‘i ai ha loto fifili ‘iate kitautolu pea ‘oku totonu ketau ngaue’aki hotau ivi kotoa ketau fekumi ki he mo’oni “mo ia kotoa pe ‘oku ‘iate au”, ke fakatāpui ‘e he Laumālie ke ngaue ki ai.  Pea ‘i he kau ‘a e ‘Otua,  ‘e ongo’i ‘e he kalisitiane ‘a ‘ene loto malohi ke ne tanu ‘ene ‘afungi kae ma’u mai ‘a e poto.  Pea kapau na’e hohoi pe ki he poto fakamamani, ‘i hono tu’unga fakanatula, pea huanoa ai ‘a ‘ene veekeveke ke ne ‘ilo ki he ngaahi misiteli toputapu ‘i he Folofola ‘a e ‘Otua. 

Ko e kalisitiane mo’oni ‘oku ne nofo’i ke lau mo hakule ‘a e Folofola ke ne fakahaa’i ‘oku ne tofa totonu mo ma’unga nofo ‘i he mo’oni’i me’a ‘o e tui fakalotu.  ‘Oku ma’ama’a kiate au ha tangata ‘oku ‘ikai te ne fie’ilo ki he tokateline.  ‘Oku faingata’a kiate au ke u mahino’i ha taha ‘oku ‘ikai te ne pau’ia ‘i he tui ‘oku ne ma’u, pe ‘oku tonu pe hala ‘a e tui ‘oku ne ma’u.  ‘Oku hoko ‘a e Folofola ‘a e ‘Otua ‘o hange ha fu’u kolo tapu pea ‘oku angi ‘a e Laumalie ‘i he loto ‘o e kalisitiane ke ne a’u ki loto; te ne vivili ke a’u tonu, ke ne ‘ilo pau mo ne mahino’i ‘a e ‘uunime’a ‘oku ‘i he loto kolo.
