Kae kehe, ke fakahōifua kakato kia Sihová, kuo pau foki ke tau talangofua ki he fekau: “Mou kofuʻaki kimoutolu ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú.” (Kol. 3:10) ʻI he kupu ko ení, te tau tali ʻa e ongo fehuʻi ko ení: Ko e hā “ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú”? ʻE lava fēfē ke tau kofuʻaki ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú pea ʻoua ʻe toe vete?

Ko ha tokotaha ʻokú ne kofuʻaki ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú ʻaki ʻene fakahāhā ʻa e fua ʻo e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻo fakaʻatā ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ke ne tākiekina ʻene fakakaukaú, ongoʻí mo e tōʻongá. (Lau ʻa e Kalētia 5:22, 23.) Ko e fakatātaá, ʻokú ne ʻofa kia Sihova mo ʻEne kakaí. (Māt. 22:36-39) Ko ha tokotaha pehē ʻokú ne tauhi maʻu ʻene fiefiá ʻi he fekuki mo e ʻahiʻahí.

ʻE LAVA FĒFĒ KE TAU KOFUʻAKI ʻA E ANGAʻITANGATA FOʻOÚ?

Ko e lahi ange ʻetau ako ke fakakaukau ʻo hangē ko Sīsuú, ko ʻetau lavameʻa ange ia ʻi hono tapua atu hono ʻulungāngá (Sio ki he palakalafi 5, 8, 10, 12, 14)

5. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa hono ‘maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Kalaisí,’ pea ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau ako ki he moʻui ʻa Sīsuú? (1 Kolinitō 2:16)

Ke kofuʻaki ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau “maʻu ʻe kitautolu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Kalaisí.” ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, kuo pau ke tau ako ʻa e founga fakakaukau ʻa Sīsuú pea faʻifaʻitaki leva kiate ia. ʻOku fakahāhā haohaoa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fua ʻo e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. Hangē ko ha sioʻata maʻa ʻāsinisini, ʻokú ne tapua tofu pē mai ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihová. (Hep. 1:3) Ko e lahi ange ʻetau fakakaukau ʻo hangē ko Sīsuú, ko e lahi ange ia ʻetau tōʻonga ʻo hangē ko iá pea te tau lavameʻa ange ai ʻi hono tapua atu hono ʻulungāngá.​—Fil. 2:5.

6. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi ʻi heʻetau feinga ke kofuʻaki ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú?

6 ʻOku malava moʻoni ke tau muimui ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú? Te tau fakakaukau nai: ‘ʻOku haohaoa ʻa Sīsū. Heʻikai ʻaupito lava ke u hangē ko iá!’ Kapau ʻokú ke ongoʻi pehē, manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ení. ʻUluakí, naʻe ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko Sihova mo Sīsuú. Ko ia ʻe lava ke ke fili ke faʻifaʻitaki kiate kinaua, pea te ke lavameʻa ʻi ha tuʻunga. (Sēn. 1:26) Uá, ko e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e ivi mālohi taha ia ʻi he ʻunivēsí. ʻI he tokoni ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní te ke fakahoko ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa heʻikai ʻaupito lava ke ke fai ia ʻi he mālohi pē ʻoʻoú. Tolú, ʻoku ʻikai ʻamanekina mai ʻe Sihova ke ke fakahāhā haohaoa ʻi he taimí ni ʻa e fua ʻo e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. Ko hono moʻoní, kuo vaheʻi ʻe heʻetau Tamai ʻofá ha taʻu ʻe 1,000 maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ke moʻui ʻi he māmaní ke nau hoko ai ʻo haohaoa. (Fkh. 20:1-3) Ko e meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe Sihova meiate kitautolu ʻi he taimi ní ke tau fai hotau lelei tahá pea falala kiate ia ki ha tokoni.

7. Ko e hā te tau lāulea ki ai ʻi he taimi ní?

7 ʻE lava fēfē ke tau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū? Te tau sivisiviʻi nounou ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻe fā ʻo e fua ʻo e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he tuʻunga taki taha, te tau vakai ki he meʻa ʻe lava ke tau ako mei he founga naʻe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ko iá. ʻI heʻetau fai iá, te tau lāulea ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ʻe niʻihi ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke sivisiviʻi ʻa e fakalakalaka ʻetau kofuʻaki ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú.

8. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻofá?

8 Ko e ʻofa loloto ʻa Sīsū kia Sihová naʻá ne ueʻi ia ke fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau maʻa ʻene Tamaí pea maʻatautolu. (Sione 14:31; 15:13) Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa ki he kakaí ʻi he founga naʻá ne moʻui ai ʻi he māmaní. ʻI he ʻaho taki taha, naʻá ne anga-ʻofa mo manavaʻofa, naʻa mo e ʻi he taimi naʻe fakafepakiʻi ai ia ʻe ha niʻihi. Ko e founga tefito naʻá ne fakahāhā ai ʻene ʻofa ki he kakaí ko ʻene akoʻi kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Luke 4:43, 44) Naʻe toe fakamoʻoniʻi foki ʻe Sīsū ʻene ʻofa feilaulauʻi-kita ki he ʻOtuá mo e tangatá ʻaki ʻene loto-lelei ke faingataʻaʻia ʻi ha mate fakamamahi ʻi he nima ʻo e kau angahalá. Ko ia naʻá ne fakaava mai ai ʻa e hala ke tau maʻu kotoa ai ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.

9. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū ʻi hono fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá?

9 Naʻa tau fakatapui kitautolu kia Sihova pea papitaiso koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ʻofa ki heʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní. Ko ia ai, hangē ko Sīsuú, ʻoku totonu ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa kia Sihová ʻi he anga ʻo ʻetau fakafeangai ki he kakaí. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻofa ki hono tokouá, ʻa ia kuó ne mamata ki aí, heʻikai lava ke ne ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá, ʻa ia kuo ʻikai ke ne mamata ki aí.” (1 Sio. 4:20) ʻE lava ke tau ʻeke hifo kiate kitautolu: ‘ʻOku ou fakatupulekina ha ʻofa loloto ki he kakaí? ʻOku ou fakafeangai manavaʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé, naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku nau anga-kovi mai aí? ʻOku ueʻi au ʻe he ʻofá ke ngāueʻaki hoku taimí mo e koloá ke tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau ako fekauʻaki mo Sihova? ʻOku ou loto-lelei ke fai eni naʻa mo e ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻikai houngaʻia ai ʻa e kakai tokolahi tahá ʻi heʻeku ngāué pe ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fakafepakiʻi ai aú? ʻE lava ke u kumi ki ha ngaahi founga ke kau lahi ange ai ʻi he ngāue ngaohi ākongá?’​—ʻEf. 5:15, 16.

10. Naʻe anga-fēfē hoko ʻa Sīsū ko ha tokotaha fakamelinó?

10 Ko Sīsū ko ha tangata naʻe fakamelino. ʻI he fakafeangai kovi ʻa e kakaí kiate iá, naʻe ʻikai ke ne fetongi ʻa e koví ʻaki ʻa e kovi. Ka naʻá ne fai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ai. Naʻá ne tamuʻomuʻa ke fakamelino pea fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau fakaleleiʻi ʻenau fakakikihí. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne akoʻi kinautolu kuo pau ke nau fakamelino mo honau tokouá kapau ʻoku nau loto ke tali ʻe Sihova ʻenau lotú. (Māt. 5:9, 23, 24) Pea naʻá ne toutou tokoniʻi ʻa e kau ʻapositoló ke fakaleleiʻi ʻenau fakakikihi pe ko hai ʻiate kinautolu naʻe lahi tahá.​—Luke 9:46-48; 22:24-27.

11. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau hoko ko ha tokotaha fakamelino?

11 Ke hoko ko ha tokotaha fakamelino, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ʻi he fakaʻehiʻehi pē mei hono fakatupunga ha fepaki. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau tamuʻomuʻa ke fakamelino mo e niʻihi kehé pea fakalototoʻaʻi hotau fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné ke nau fakaleleiʻi ʻenau fetōkehekeheʻakí. (Fil. 4:2, 3; Sēm. 3:17, 18) ʻE lava ke tau ʻeke hifo kiate kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ení; ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ou loto-lelei ke feilaulauʻi ke fakamelino ai mo e niʻihi kehé? ʻI hono fakalotomamahiʻi au ʻe ha tokoua pe ko ha tuofefine, ʻoku ou tukulotoʻi ʻa e ʻitá? ʻOku ou tatali ki he tokotaha ʻe tahá ke tomuʻa haʻu ʻo fakamelino pe ʻoku ou tamuʻomuʻa, neongo kapau ko e tokotaha ʻe tahá naʻá ne fakatupunga nai ʻa e palopalemá? ʻOku ou fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻi ai haʻanau fetōkehekeheʻaki ke nau fakamelino ʻi heʻene feʻungamālié?’

12. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e anga-leleí?

12 Naʻe anga-lelei ʻa Sīsū. (Māt. 11:28-30) Naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e anga-leleí ʻaki ʻene anga-fakaalaala mo ʻulutukua, naʻa mo e ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga faingataʻá. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he kōlenga kiate ia ha fefine Finisia ke ne fakamoʻui ʻene tamá, naʻe ʻikai ke ne tali ʻa e ʻuluaki kole ʻa e fefiné, ka ʻi heʻene fakahāhā ʻa e tui lahí, naʻá ne anga-lelei ʻo fakamoʻui ʻene tamá. (Māt. 15:22-28) Neongo naʻe anga-lelei ʻa Sīsū, naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakavaivai. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e anga-leleí ʻaki ʻa e lea hangatonu ki he faʻahinga naʻá ne ʻofa aí. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he taimi naʻe feinga ai ʻa Pita ke fakalotosiʻiʻi ʻa Sīsū mei hono fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová, naʻe valokiʻi ia ʻe Sīsū ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau ākonga kehé. (Mk. 8:32, 33) Naʻá ne fai ení, ʻo ʻikai koeʻuhí ke fakamaaʻi ʻa Pita, ka ke akoʻi ia pea ʻoatu ai ha fakatokanga ki he kau ākonga kehé ke ʻoua te nau hoko ʻo ʻafungi. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua naʻe kiʻi ongoʻi fakamāʻia ʻa Pita, ka naʻá ne maʻu ʻaonga mei he akonakí.

13. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau hoko ʻo anga-lelei loto-moʻoni?

13 ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ko e hoko ʻo anga-lelei loto-moʻoni ki he faʻahinga ʻokú ke ʻofa aí, ʻe fiemaʻu nai ke ke lea hangatonu kiate kinautolu. ʻI hoʻo fai peheé, faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū ʻaki hono fakatefito hoʻo akonakí ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mei he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Hoko ʻo anga-fakaalaala.
