Ko e hīkisiá ko ha angahala ʻoku lahi ʻene taʻemahinó, pea ʻoku faiangahala taʻe-ʻilo ai ha tokolahi (vakai, Mōsaia 3:11; 3 Nīfai 6:18). ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ʻi he folofolá ko e hīkisia māʻoniʻoni—ʻoku lau maʻu pē ia ko e angahala. …
Ko e tefitoʻi fōtunga ʻo e hīkisiá ko e loto tāufehiʻá—tāufehiʻa ki he ʻOtuá pea mo hotau kāingá. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e tāufehiʻá ko e “fehiʻa ki ha taha, fakafili ki ha taha, pe tuʻunga fakafepaki.” Ko e mālohi ia ʻoku fakaʻamu ʻa Sētane ke ne puleʻi ai kitautolú.
Ko e hīkisiá ʻoku natula feʻauʻauhi. ʻOku tau ʻai ke fehangahangai hotau lotó mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e taimi ʻoku tau hīkisia ai ki he ʻOtuá, ʻoku fai ia ʻi he laumālie “ke fai hoku lotó kae ʻikai ko Ho finangaló.” …
ʻI he feʻauʻauhi ko ia hotau lotó mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻoku fakaʻatā ai ʻetau ngaahi holí, uʻá, mo hotau lotó ke ʻikai toe mapuleʻi (vakai, ʻAlamā 38:12; 3 Nīfai 12:30).
He ʻikai lava ke tali ʻe he hīkisiá ʻa e mafai ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fai-tuʻutuʻuni ange ki heʻenau moʻuí (vakai, Hilamani 12:6). ʻOku nau fokotuʻu ʻenau fakakaukau ki he moʻoní ke fakafepaki mo e ʻilo aoniu ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau lavá mo e mālohi fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ʻenau ngaahi lavameʻá mo e ngaahi ngāue lalahi ʻa e ʻOtuá.
… ʻOku fakaʻamu ʻa e kau hīkisiá ke finangalo tatau ʻa e ʻOtuá mo kinautolu. ʻOku ʻikai ke nau tokanga kinautolu ke liliu ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú ke tatau mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá.
Ko e konga lahi ʻe taha ʻo e angahala lahi ko ʻeni ʻo e hīkisiá ko e tāufehiʻa ki hotau kāingá. ʻOku ʻahiʻahiʻi fakaʻaho kitautolu ke tau ʻai ke tau māʻolunga ange ʻi ha toe taha kae tuku hifo kinautolu (vakai, Hilamani 6:17; T&F 58:41).
ʻOku ʻai ʻe he hīkisiá ʻa e taha kotoa ko hono fili ʻaki hono fuatautau honau potó, fakakaukaú, ngāué, koloá, talēnití, pe ngaahi meʻa fakamāmani pē ke ke fehangahangai mo e niʻihi kehé. ʻI he fakalea ʻe C. S. Luisí: “ʻOku ʻikai fiefia ʻa e hīkisiá ia ʻi he maʻu ʻo ha faʻahinga meʻa, ka ʻi he maʻu ʻo lahi ange pē ʻi he meʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he taha hokó. … Ko e fakatataú ʻokú ne ʻai ke ke hīkisiá: ko e fiefia ʻi he māʻolunga ange ʻi he toengá. Ko ʻene mole pē ʻa e ʻelemēniti ʻo e feʻauʻauhí, kuo mole mo e hīkisiá” (Mere Christianity [1952], 109–10). …
ʻOku lahi ange e ilifia ʻa e hīkisiá ki he fakakaukau ʻa e tangatá ʻi he fakamaau ʻa e ʻOtuá (vakai, T&F 3:6–7; 30:1–2; 60:2). ʻOku mamafa ange ʻa e “Ko e hā ha fakakaukau ʻa e kakaí kiate aú?” ʻi he “Ko e hā ha fakakaukau ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate aú?” …
Ko e taimi ʻoku piki ai ʻa e hīkisiá ki hotau lotó, ʻoku mole leva ʻetau tauʻatāina he māmaní kae ʻoatu ʻetau tauʻatāiná ki he pōpula ʻo e fakamaau ʻa e tangatá. ʻOku leʻo lahi ange ʻa e kaila ʻa e māmaní ʻi he fanafana ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku pule leva e fakaʻuhinga ʻa e tangatá ʻi he ngaahi fakahā ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku tukuange leva ʻe he loto-hīkisiá ʻa e vaʻa ukameá (vakai, 1 Nīfai 8:19–28; 11:25; 15:23–24). …
Ko e hīkisiá ko e maka tūkiaʻanga lahi ki Saione. Te u toe fakaongo atu: Ko e hīkisiá ko e maka tūkiaʻanga lahi ki Saione. …
Kuo pau ke tau talangofua “ki he ngaahi fakahinohino ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní,” pea liʻaki ʻa e “tangata fakakakanó,” ʻo hoko “ko ha tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakalelei ʻa Kalaisi ko e ʻEikí,” pea hoko ʻo “angatatau mo ha tamasiʻi siʻi, angavaivai, angamalū, loto fakatōkilalo” (Mōsaia 3:19; vakai foki, ʻAlamā 13:28).
