“Fakaeʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Foha ʻo e ʻOtua”

Naʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa fakatupú ki he muná “ke ne ʻamanaki pe” ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ʻaho ʻe taha ʻe toe fakafoki mai ai ʻa e tauʻatāiná ki he fāmili ʻo e tangatá fakafou ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa e “ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtua.” Ko hai ʻa e faʻahinga ko ʻeni ko e “ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtua”? Ko e kau ākonga kinautolu ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia, hangē pē ko e toenga ʻo e “meʻa fakatupu [ko e tangatá],” ʻoku fanauʻi mai ʻo pōpula ki he angahalá mo e taʻehaohaoá. ʻI honau fanauʻí ʻoku ʻikai hanau tuʻunga totonu ʻi he fāmili maʻa, haohaoa, fakaʻuniveesi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ka ʻoku fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa fakaofo maʻanautolu. Fakafou ʻi he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻokú Ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi ai kinautolu mei he haʻisia ki he angahala tukufakaholó pea lau kinautolu ʻoku nau “angatonu,” pe maʻa fakalaumālie. (1 Kolinito 6:11) Hili iá ʻokú ne ohi leva kinautolu ko e “ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtua,” ʻo fakafoki mai kinautolu ki hono fāmili fakaʻunivēsí.​—Loma 8:​14-17.

ʻI he tuʻunga ko e ngaahi foha ohi ʻo Sihová, te nau maʻu ha monū lāngilangiʻia. Te nau hoko ko e “ngaahi taulaʻeiki: Pea te nau hau ʻi mamani” fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi ko e konga ʻo e Puleʻanga fakahēvani pe founga-pule ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Fakahā 5:​9, 10; 14:​1-4) Ko ha founga-pule ʻeni naʻe fokotuʻu maʻu ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e tauʻatāiná mo e fakamaau totonú​—ʻikai ʻi he fakaaoao mo e pule-kakaha. (Aisea 9:​6, 7; 61:​1-4) ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ko e ngaahi foha ko ʻeni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau feohi mo Sīsū, ʻa e ‘hako ʻo ʻĒpalahame’ naʻe talaʻofa fuoloa ʻaki maí. (Kaletia 3:​16, 26, 29) ʻI heʻene peheé, ʻoku nau fakahoko ha ngafa tefito ʻi hono fakahoko ha talaʻofa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtuá ki hono kaumeʻa ko ʻĒpalahamé. Ko e konga ʻo e talaʻofa ko iá ʻoku pehē fakafou ʻi he hako ʻo ʻĒpalahamé (pe, fānau), “ʻe monuʻia ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo mamani.”​—Senesi 22:18.

ʻE kamata ʻafē ʻa e “fakaeʻa ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtua”? ʻOku vavé ni ʻaupito ia, ʻi he taimi ʻe ʻai ai ʻe Sihova ke hā mahino ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻE hoko ʻeni ʻi he taimi ʻa ia ko e “ngaahi foha” ko ʻení, ʻi heʻenau toetuʻu ki he nofoʻanga laumālié, te nau kau fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi hono fakamaʻa ʻa e foʻi māmani ko ʻení mei he koví mo e fakafeʻātungiá ʻi he tau ʻa e ʻOtuá ko ʻĀmaketoné. (Taniela 2:​44; 7:​13, 14, 27; Fakahā 2:​26, 27; 16:16; 17:14; 19:​11-​21) ʻOku tau sio takatakai ʻiate kitautolu ki he fokotuʻuna ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻoku tau lotolotoi ʻi he “kuonga fakamui,” ʻa ia ʻe ngata ai ʻa e kātakiʻi fuoloa ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e angatuʻú mo hono ikuʻanga ko e anga-fulikivanú.​—2 Timote 3:​1-5; Mātiu 24:​3-​31.

Naʻe ‘ʻosi atu ʻa e ʻaho mo e fai honau tamateʻi’ hangē “ko e fanga sipi pe ke tamateʻi.” (Loma 8:36) Naʻa nau fakaʻatā ia ke ne lōmekina kinautolu?
