Papitaisó​—Ko ha Taumuʻa Fisifisimuʻa!

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ko e kau Kalisitiané kuo pau ke nau papitaiso. (Lau ʻa e Mātiu 28:19, 20.) Ka ko e hā ʻa e papitaiso? Pea ko e hā kuo pau ke fai ʻe ha taha ke aʻusia ʻa e taumuʻa ko iá?

1. ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻa e papitaisó?

Ko e foʻi lea “papitaiso” ko e haʻu mei he foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku ʻuhingá “ke fakauku” ʻi he vaí. ʻI hono papitaiso ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe fakauku ia ʻi he Vaitafe Sioataní, peá ne mālanga hake pē mei he vaí. (Maʻake 1:9, 10) Hangē ko Sīsuú, ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ʻoku papitaiso kinautolu ʻaki hono fakauku kakato ʻi ha vai.

2. Ko e hā ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻi heʻene papitaisó?

ʻI he hoko ʻo papitaisó ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe ha taha kuó ne fakatapui ʻene moʻuí kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. ʻE anga-fēfē hono fakahoko ʻe ha taha ʻa e fakatapuí? Ki muʻa ke papitaisó, ʻi haʻane lotu fakafoʻituitui, ʻokú ne tala ange kia Sihova ʻokú ne loto ke tauhi kiate Ia ʻo taʻengata. ʻOkú ne palōmesi te ne lotu kia Sihova tokotaha pē pea ko e meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi heʻene moʻuí ʻa hono fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne fili ke “siʻaki ʻe ia ia pea . . . hanganaki muimui” ki he ngaahi akonaki mo e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú. (Mātiu 16:24) Ko ʻene fakatapuí mo e papitaisó ʻoku ʻai ai ke ne malava ʻo maʻu ha kaumeʻa vāofi mo Sihova mo e faʻahinga ʻoku lotu kiate iá.

3. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ha tokotaha ke ne fai ki muʻa ke hoko ʻo papitaisó?

Ki muʻa ke ke hoko ʻo papitaisó, ʻoku mahuʻinga ke ako fekauʻaki mo Sihova pea fakatupulekina ha tui mālohi kiate ia. (Lau ʻa e Hepelū 11:6.) ʻI he tupulaki hoʻo ʻiló mo e tuí, ʻe pehē pē hoʻo ʻofa kia Sihová. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua te ke loto ke malanga fekauʻaki mo ia pea moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻungá. (2 Tīmote 4:2; 1 Sione 5:3) ʻI he hoko ha taha ʻo “ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo Sihova koeʻuhí ke fakahōifuaʻi kakato ia,” te ne fili leva ke ne fakatapui ʻene moʻuí ki he ʻOtuá pea hoko ʻo papitaiso.​—Kolose 1:9, 10.a
