MORE GRACE

KELESI KE FAKALAHI MAI

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

2 KOLINITO 9:8

Pea ‘oku mafai noa pē ‘e he ‘Otua ke ‘atu ke mou fonu mahuohua ‘i he fa‘ahinga foaki kotoa pē; koe‘uhi ke fe‘unga ho‘omou koloa kehekehe ‘i he taimi kotoa pē mo e me‘a kotoa pē, pea toe ha‘amou me‘a ke fai‘aki ‘a e ngāue lelei kehekehe.

 

Sola Gratia - Grace Alone - Ko e Kelesi´ pe    

 

Between this hour and the consummation of all things, every promise of God and every provision of the covenant of grace will be brought into requisition. The urgent need of the believing soul is confirmation, continuance, final perseverance, preservation to the end. This is the great necessity of the most advanced believers, for Paul was writing to saints at Corinth, who were men of a high order, of whom he could say, "I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ." Such men are the very persons who most assuredly feel that they have daily need of new grace if they are to hold on, and hold out, and come off conquerors at the last.

If you were not saints you would have no grace, and you would feel no need of more grace; but because you are men of God, therefore you feel the daily demands of the spiritual life.

Mei he ‘aho ni ki he ngata’anga ‘o taimi, ko e ngaahi palomesi kotoa ‘a e ‘Otua mo ‘ene tokonaki kotoa fekau’aki mo ‘Ene kovinanite ‘o e kelesi, kuopau ke hoko. Pea ko e fiema’u vivili ‘a e laumalie, ke ne pau’ia, mo tauhi ma’u, vilitaki mo kikitaki ki he ngata’anga. Ko e tu’unga eni ‘o e mo’ui ‘a e kalisitiane matu’otu’a. ‘I he tohi ‘a Paula ki he kakai Kolinito, na’a ne pehee ai, “ ‘Oku ou fakafeta‘i ma‘u ai pē ki hoku ‘Otua ‘iate kimoutolu, ko e me‘a ‘i he kelesi ‘a e ‘Otua kuo foaki atu ‘ia Kalaisi Sīsū" (1 Kolinito 1:4), ko e fa’ahinga eni na’a nau pau’ia ‘i he’enau fiema’u faka’aho ‘a e kelesi fo’ou faka’aho, kapau ko ha kakai kinautolu ke nau puke ma’u mo kitaki ke nau ikuna ‘i he ngata’anga ‘o e fononga. 

Kapau na’e ‘ikai ko ha kau lotu mo’oni (ma’oni’oni) kimoutolu, na’e ‘ikai te mou ma’u ha kelesi, pea ‘e ‘ikai te mou hohoi ke fakalahi mai ho’omou kelesi; ka koe’uhi, ko e kakai kimoutolu ‘a e ‘Otua, pea ‘oku mou kaunga ongo’i ‘a e mafatukituki ‘o e mo’ui fakalaumalie ‘oku fakafonu ‘i he kelesi.
