A VIEW OF PROVIDENCE

KO E PALOVITENISI ‘A E ‘OTUA

PSALM 33:8

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him

SAAME 33:8

Ke manavahē ‘a e fonua kotoa kia Sihova: Ke teki ‘iate ia ‘a e nofo māmani kotoa

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

In the Bible, we have an account of the whole scheme of Providence, from the beginning of the world to the end of it, either in history or prophecy, and are told what will become of things at last; how they will issue in the subduing of God's enemies, and in the salvation and glory of His church, and setting up of the everlasting kingdom of His Son.

How rational, worthy, and excellent a revelation is this! And how excellent a book is the Bible, which contains so much beyond all other books in the world! And what characters are here of its being indeed a divine Book! A Book that the great Jehovah has given to mankind for their instruction, without which we should be left in miserable darkness and confusion. From what has been said, we may see the glorious majesty and power of God in this affair of redemption.

‘I he Tohitapu ‘oku tau ma’u ‘a e fakamatala ki he fokotu’utu’u ‘o e polokalama ‘o e Palovitenisi, mei he kamata’anga ki he faka’osi; tatau pe ‘i he hisitolia mo e ngaahi kikite, pea mo e ngaahi me’a ‘e hoko ‘i he kuonga fakamui; ‘io ‘oku kau mo hono tukuhifo ‘a e ngaahi fili ‘o e ‘Otua; pehe foki ki he Fakamo’ui pea mo e fakalangilangi’i ‘a hono siasi, pea mo hono fokotu’u ‘a e pule’anga ta’engata ‘o e ‘Alo.

Ko ha tohi tatala me’a eni ‘oku ‘uhinga lelei, taau pea fakaofo fau.  Hono ‘ikai mahulu hake ‘a e lelei ‘a e Tohitapu ‘i ha toe tohi ‘i mamani.  Pea ko hono tu’ung fakaofo ‘oku ne fakahaa’i ko e tohi mei loto langi.  Ko e tohi kuo foaki ‘e he ‘Otua Mafimafi ma’a e fa’ahinga ‘o e tangata.  Ko e fakahinohino – he ka ne ‘ikai, te tau kei nofo pe ‘i he fakapo’uli mo e tailiili.  Pea fakatatau ki he ngaahi me’a kuo ‘osi tuku mai, te tau toki mamata ai ki he langilangi fakatalutalu ‘o e mafi ‘o e ‘Otua ‘i he’ene huhu’i ‘a e tangata.
