STRUGGLE
AGAINST OUR FOE
MILIMILISINO MO HOTAU FILI
JOHN 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.
SIONE 10:10
Tala‘ehai
‘oku ha‘u ‘a e kaiha‘a ki ha me‘a, ka ke kaiha‘a pē, mo tāmate‘i, mo maumau: ko
au kuo u ha‘u koe‘uhi ke nau ma‘u mo‘ui, pea ke nau ma‘u ‘o lahi ‘aupito.
Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God
Alone
Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe
One thing which ought to animate us to perpetual contest is he is everywhere both our adversary and the adversary of God. For if the glory of God is dear to us, as it ought to be, we ought to struggle with all our might against him who aims at the extinction of that glory. If we are animated with proper zeal to maintain the kingdom of Christ, we must wage irreconcilable war with him who conspires its ruin.
Again, if we have any anxiety about our own salvation, we ought to make no peace nor truce with him who is continually laying schemes for its destruction. But such is the character given to Satan in the third chapter of Genesis, where he is seen seducing man from his allegiance to God, that he may both deprive God of His due honor, and plunge man headlong in destruction.
