20. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa Sihova ki hotau ngaahi ngataʻangá?
20 ʻOku ʻamanekina ʻe Sihova mei he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kitautolu ke tau ʻofa kiate ia ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo hotau mālohí, ka ko ha meʻa fakalotomāfana ē “he ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻe ia hota anga; ʻoku ne manatu ai pe ko e efu pe kitaua”! (Sāme 103:14) ʻOku pehē ʻi he Palōvepi 21:2 ʻoku “hanga ʻa Sihova ʻo fua ʻa e ngaahi loto”—ʻikai ko e mataʻifiká. ʻOku mahino kiate ia ha ngaahi fakangatangata ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te tau mapuleʻi, tatau ai pē pe ko e meʻa fakapaʻanga, fakaesino, fakaeongo, pe ko ha meʻa kehe. (ʻAisea 63:9) ʻI he taimi tatau pē, ʻokú ne ʻamanekina ke tau ngāueʻaki ki he lelei tahá ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau maʻú. ʻOku haohaoa ʻa Sihova, ka ʻi heʻene feangainga mo ʻene kau lotu taʻehaohaoá, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻamanekina ʻa e haohaoá meiate kinautolu. ʻOku ʻikai te ne taʻefaituʻunga ʻi heʻene ngaahi feangaingá pe taʻefakapotopoto ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne ʻamanekiná.
21. Kapau ʻoku ueʻi ʻe he ʻofá ʻa ʻetau ngāue ki he ʻOtuá, ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ola lelei ʻe hoko aí?
21 Ko e ʻofa kia Sihova ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo hotau lotó, laumālié, fakakaukaú mo e mālohí “ʻoku hulu noa pe ia ʻi he ʻatu ʻo e ngaai feilaulau liʻaki pe ko e ngaahi ʻinasi.” (Maʻake 12:33) Kapau ʻoku ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofá, pea te tau fai ʻa e meʻa hono kotoa pē ʻoku tau lava ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe tohi ʻe Pita kapau ko e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, kau ai ʻa e ʻofá, “ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo tupulekina, ʻe ʻikai ai te mou fakapikopiko pe taʻefua, ʻi he lavaʻi ʻo e ʻilo kanokano ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.”—2 Pita 1:8.
