1. Ko e hā ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová ʻo fekauʻaki mo e lotu, pea ko e hā ʻa e fakalototoʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻo kau ki he lotu?

KO SIHOVÁ “ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻa ʻEne ʻAfio ʻa e fakaʻamanaki” ki he kotoa ʻo ʻene kakai angatonu. ʻI hono tuʻunga ko “Tokotaha-fanongo ki he lotu,” ʻokú ne fanongo mai ki heʻenau ngaahi kole ki he tokoni ke maʻu ʻa e ʻamanaki fiefia kuó ne fokotuʻu kiate kinautolú. (Loma 15:13; Sāme 65:2, NW) Pea fakafou ʻi heʻene Folofolá, ko e Tohitapú, ʻokú ne fakalototoʻaʻi kotoa ai ʻa ʻene kau sevāniti ke nau haʻu kiate ia ʻi ha taimi pē te nau loto ki aí. He ʻokú ne ʻi ai maʻu ai pē, mo finangalo ke maʻu ʻenau ngaahi tokanga tefito ʻi he lotó. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻokú ne fakalototoʻaʻi kinautolu ke “kītaki ʻi he lotu” mo “lotu taʻetuku.”a (Loma 12:12 NW; 1 Tesalonaika 5:17) Ko e finangalo ia ʻo Sihová ki he kau Kalisitiane kotoa pē ke nau toutou ui kiate ia ʻi he lotu, ʻo fakahā honau loto kotoa kiate ia pea fai ʻeni ʻi he huafa ʻo hono ʻAlo ʻofaʻangá, ko Sīsū Kalaisi.​—Sione 14:​6, 13, 14.

³ Naʻe tohi ʻe he ākonga ko Sēmisí: “ʻUnuʻunu atu ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ia kiate kimoutolu.” (Sēmisi 4:8) ʻIo, ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ke fuʻu māʻolunga pea ʻikai ke fuʻu mamaʻo ke ne fanongoa mai ʻetau ngaahi lea ʻoku fai kiate iá, neongo hotau tuʻunga ko e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata taʻehaohaoá. (Ngāue 17:27) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻehohaʻa mo taʻetokanga. ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku lalama ki he kau maʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ne fakaongo ke maʻu ʻenau tangi.”​—Sāme 34:15; 1 Pita 3:12.

4. ʻOku fēfē hono fakatātaaʻi ʻa e anga ʻo e tokanga mai ʻa Sihova ki he lotú?

⁴ ʻIo, ʻoku tokanga mai ʻa Sihova ki he lotú. Te tau malava ke fakatatau ʻeni ki ha fakatahataha ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e kakai ʻoku nau fetalanoaʻaki fakataha. ʻOkú ke kau aí, ʻo ke fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ko ho tuʻunga ʻokú ke ʻi aí ko ha tokotaha ke fakafanongo. Pea hanga mai ha taha kiate koe, ʻo leaʻaki ho hingoá, pea fakahanga ʻene ngaahi lea kiate koe. Te ne puke heni hoʻo tokanga ʻi ha founga makehe. ʻOku faitatau ia, ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku tokanga maʻu pē ki hono kakaí, pe ko e fē pē ha feituʻu ʻoku nau ʻi ai. (2 Kalonikali 16:9; Palōvepi 15:3) Ko ia ʻokú ne fanongo ki heʻetau ngaahi leá, pea ʻokú ne maluʻi mo mahuʻingaʻia ʻiate kitautolu. Kaekehe, ʻi heʻetau ui ki hono huafá ʻi he lotu, ʻoku tokanga mai ia kiate kitautolu, pea ʻokú ne toki hanga kiate kitautolu ʻi he founga pau. ʻI hono mālohí, ʻe malava ai ʻe Sihova ke ne ʻilo mo tatae ʻa e ngaahi kole ʻa e tangata ʻoku ʻikai te ne leaʻaki mei he tuʻunga lilo ʻo hono lotó mo ʻene fakakaukaú. ʻOku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kitautolu te ne ʻunuʻunu ke ofi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ui ki hono huafa ʻi he loto-totonu mo fekumi ke nofo ofi kiate iá.​—Sāme 145:18.
