Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe
Every believer understands that to know God is the highest and best form of knowledge, and this spiritual knowledge is a source of strength to the Christian. It strengthens his faith. Believers are constantly spoken of in the Scriptures as being persons who are enlightened and taught of the Lord; they are said to have an unction from the Holy One," and it is the Spirit's peculiar office to lead them into all truth, and all this for the increase and the fostering of their faith.
Knowledge strengthens love as well as faith. Knowledge opens the door, and then through that door we see our Saviour. Or, to use another similitude, knowledge paints the portrait of Jesus, and when we see that portrait then we love Him; we cannot love a Christ whom we do not know at least in some degree. If we know but little of the excellences of Jesus, what He has done for us, and what He is doing now, we cannot love Him much; but the more we know Him, the more we shall love Him.
CHARLES SPURGEON
Ko e kalisitiane kotoa pe ‘oku ne mahino’i ko e ‘ilo ki he ‘Otua ko e maama ma’olunga taha ia ‘o e ‘ilo ‘a e tangata, pea ko e ‘ilo fakalaumālie ko ‘eni ko e fauniteni ia ‘o e ivi ‘o e kalisitiane. ‘Oku malohi ai ‘a ‘ene tui. Ko e kau kalisitiane, ko e kakai ‘oku fakamaama mo akonekina ‘e he ‘Eiki, ‘o fakatatau ki he Folofola; ‘oku lea ‘a e Laumālie Mā’oni’oni kiate kinautolu, pea ‘oku tataki kinautolu ‘e he Laumālie, pea ‘oku fai kotoa eni ke tupulaki ai ‘enau tui.
Ko e ‘ilo, ‘oku ne fakaivia ‘a
e ‘ofa pea mo e tui ‘i he mo’ui ‘a e kalisitiane. ‘Oku fakaava ‘e he ‘ilo ‘a e matapa, pea ‘oku
fou ‘i he matapa ko ia ‘a ‘etau mamata
ai ki hotau Fakamo’ui. ‘I hono toe
fakalea ‘e taha, ko e ‘ilo ‘oku ne ta valivali ‘a e ‘ata ‘o Sisu, pea ‘i he’etau

lahiange ‘etau ‘ilo kiate Ia, ko e lahi ange ia ‘etau ‘ofa kiate Ia.

As also mentioned in the commentary, there is power with knowledge. As they say… “knowledge is power”. What do we have knowledge of? The most valuable and priceless thing one could have. After breaking it down, it emphasizes how we as His people should “take action”. With everything that continues to change and emerge in our earth, the one thing that can truly rely on is our foundation. The knowledge of God and His word. So then what do we do with this? (May come back and add on)
DeleteDon’t forget to go back and just read the verse “naturally”. In it, you will discover something God wants us to “know” and “do”. So a good way to not get lost in the “breakdown” - is to ask yourself, “What does God want me know?” And, “what does God want me to do?”
DeleteThese 2 concepts will streamline our reading and help point us in the right direction.
Thank you all for following through with the “breakdown” of each verse.
ReplyDeleteI will be introducing the A.L.P.H.A. Method way of reading and digging deeper into Scripture.
I have wanted a way for all of us to engage with Scripture and I have put together this acronym for us to use and hopefully be a permanent tool in our Bible tool box as we grow and mature in grace through His Word.
I will preview this in the zoom call on Saturday night and will touch on it in my message on Sunday.
Stay tuned!
