ʻE pau pē ke ʻi ai ha taimi ʻe fehangahangai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané kotoa mo e fakafepaki, naʻa mo e fakatangá. ʻOku totonu ke tau ilifia ai?

ʻOku māʻalaʻala ʻa e lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú: “Ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau loto ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua ʻi he fekauʻaki mo Kalaisi Sīsuú, ʻe fakatangaʻi foki kinautolu.” (2 Tīmote 3:12) Naʻe fakatangaʻi ʻa Sīsū koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ke ne hoko ko ha konga ʻo e māmani ʻo Sētané. Ko kitautolu foki ʻoku ʻikai ke tau hoko ko ha konga ʻo e māmaní, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ke tau ofo ai ʻi hono fakatangaʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo e māmaní mo e ngaahi kautaha fakalotú.​—Sione 15:18, 19.

2. ʻE anga-fēfē haʻatau teuteu ki he fakatangá?

ʻOku fiemaʻu ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻetau falala kia Sihová ʻi he taimí ni. Vaheʻi ha taimi ʻi he ʻaho taki taha ke lotu kiate ia pea lau mo ʻene Folofolá. Maʻu maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi fakataha ʻa e fakatahaʻangá. Ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ení te ne ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa e mālohi ʻokú ke fiemaʻú ke fehangahangai ʻi he loto-toʻa mo ha faʻahinga fakatanga pē, naʻa mo ʻene haʻu mei he ngaahi mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá, ʻa ia naʻe faʻa fakatangaʻí: “Ko Sihova ʻa hoku tokoní; ʻe ʻikai te u ilifia.”​—Hepelū 13:6.

ʻOku lava ke tau toe langa hake ʻetau loto-toʻá ʻaki ʻa e malanga maʻu pē. ʻI heʻetau ngāue fakamalangá ʻoku tau ako ai ke falala kia Sihova pea ikuʻi ha manavahē tangata pē. (Palōveepi 29:25) Kapau ʻokú ke fakatupulekina ʻa e loto-toʻa ke malanga he taimí ni, te ke mateuteu lahi ange ai ke hanganaki malanga neongo kapau ʻe fakangatangata ʻe he puleʻangá ʻetau ngāué.​—1 Tesalonaika 2:2.

3. ʻE anga-fēfē ʻetau maʻu ʻaonga ʻi hono kātekina ʻa e fakatangá?

Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fiefia ʻi hono fakatangaʻí, ka ʻi heʻetau kātekina lavameʻa ʻa e fakatangá, ʻe hoko ʻo mālohi ange ʻetau tuí. ʻOku tau ʻunuʻunu ofi ange kia Sihova koeʻuhí ʻoku tau hokosia ʻene tokoní ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ongoʻi ai heʻikai ke tau toe lava ʻo hoko atú. (Lau ʻa e Sēmisi 1:2-4.) ʻOku mamahi ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene sio mai ki heʻetau faingataʻaʻiá, ka ʻokú ne hōifua ʻi he sio mai ʻoku ʻikai ke tau foʻí. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú: “Kapau ʻoku mou kātekina ʻa e faingataʻá koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou faileleí, ko ha meʻa fakahōifua eni ki he ʻOtuá.” (1 Pita 2:20) Kapau te tau nofoʻaki faitōnunga ʻe fakapaleʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani foʻoú. Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻi aí, te nau tauhi kia Sihova pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fakafepakiʻi kinautolu.​—Mātiu 24:13.
