Stap Berem Ol Tul blong Faet blong Yumi blong Agens
Bae yumi berem—gud i go daon—eni samting we i go agensem God long laef blong yumi mo gat wan hat mo maen we i wantem mekem samting.
Buk blong Momon i rekodem se kolosap 90 yia bifo we Kraes i bon i kam long wol, ol boe blong King Mosaea oli statem misinari wok wetem Ol Man blong Leman blong 14 yia. I bin gat plante traehad we i no bin go gud blong mekem Ol Man blong Leman blong bilif long doktrin blong Kraes blong plante jeneresen. Be long taem ia, tru long ol merikel wok blong Tabu Spirit, taosen blong ol Man blong Leman oli jenisim laef mo kam ol disaepol blong Jisas Kraes.
Yumi ridim, “Mo i tru se olsem we Lod i stap laef, i tru se olgeta we oli biliv, o olgeta we oli tekem olgeta blong kam save long saed blong trutok, tru long ol prijing blong Amon mo ol brata blong hem, folem spirit blong revelesen, mo blong profesi, mo paoa blong God we i stap mekem ol merikel long olgeta—yes, mi talem long yufala se, olsem we Lod i stap laef, olgeta long Ol Man blong Leman we oli bin biliv long ol prijing blong olgeta, mo oli jenisim laef blong olgeta long Lod, oli neva foldaon i go lus.”
Ki ia we i mekem oli pipol ia oli gohed strong blong jenisim laef i stap long ves ia: “From oli bin kam wan stret mo gud pipol; oli bin putum daon ol tul blong faet blong olgeta, we oli yusum taem oli tanem olgeta agensem man, blong oli no faet agensem God bakegen, mo agensem eni long ol brata blong olgeta.”
Toktok ia “tul blong faet blong agens” hem i save gat tu defren wei blong tokbaot. Hem i minim ol naef mo ol nara tul blong faet blong wo be tu i minim fasin blong no stap obei long God mo ol komanmen blong Hem.
King blong Ol Man blong Leman we i jenisim laef i talem olsem: “Mo nao luk, ol brata blong mi, from hemia hem i evri samting we yumi save mekem … we i blong sakem evri sin blong yumi mo plante fasin blong kilimded man we yumi bin mekem, mo blong mekem God i tekemaot olgeta long hat blong yumi, from hemia evri samting we yumi bin save mekem blong sakem sin inaf long fored blong God blong mekem se bae hem i tekemaot ol doti mak blong yumi.”
Tingting long ol toktok blong king—tru fasin blong sakem sin blong olgeta i no lid nomo i go long fogivnes blong ol sin blong olgeta, be God tu i tekemaot long hat blong olgeta ol doti mak blong ol sin ia mo iven ol sin we oli wantem mekem. Olsem we yu save, oli fraet blong gobak long fasin blong bifo blong go agensem God, mekem se oli berem ol tul blong faet blong olgeta. Mo taem we oli berem ol tul blong faet blong olgeta blong wol ia, wetem ol hat we i jenis, oli nomo wantem mekem sin.
Maet bae yumi askem yumiwan wanem bae yumi mekem blong folem paten ia, blong “putum daon ol tul blong faet blong [yumi],” nomata wanem tul, mo “jenisim laef blong yumi long Lod” mekem se mak blong ol sin mo tingting blong wantem mekem sin bae i kamaot long ol hat blong yumi mo bae yumi neva lus.
Fasin blong agens i save stap agens mo agensem. Wan gudfala eksampol blong go agens hem i Lusifa, we long laef bifo wol ia, hem i go agensem plan blong Papa blong sevem man mo karem ol narafala wan blong go agensem God tu,“mo long dei ia, plante oli bin folem hem.” I no had blong luksave paoa blong hem blong go agens long taem blong yumi tedei.
Ol trifala nogud man we oli agensem Kraes insaed long Buk blong Momon—Serem, Nehor, mo Koriho—oli wan gudfala eksampol blong stap go agensem God. Ol prijing blong Nehor mo Koriho se i nogat wan samting olsem sin, mekem se, i no nid blong sakem sin mo i nogat wan Sevya. “Evri man bae oli stap gud o nogud long laef ia, folem fasin blong hemwan; from hemia, evri man i gro i kam antap folem bigfala waes blong hem, mo eni samting we wan man i mekem, i no brekem loa.” Ol man we oli agensem Kraes oli no akseptem raet blong relijin, oli tekem ol odinens mo ol kavenan we i stap hapen olsem “ol wok we ol pris blong bifo oli bin stanemap, blong fosem paoa mo atoriti.”
Wan eksampol blong tedei hem i storian blong William W. Phelps we en blong hem i moa hapi. Phelps i joenem Jos long 1831 mo oli jusum hem olsem man blong raet blong Jos. Hem i stretem sam samting we Jos i bin pablisim, raetem plante hym, mo givim seves olsem man blong raet blong Josef Smit. Sore nomo, hem i go agensem Jos mo profet, iven go kasem we i mekem wan giaman stori agensem Josef Smit long Misuri kot, we i mekem se Profet i go long presin.
Samtaem afta Phelps i bin raet i go long Josef blong askem hem blong fogivim hem. “Mi save situesen blong mi, yu save, mo God i save; mo mi wantem se Lod i sevem mi sapos ol fren blong mi oli save helpem mi.”
Long ansa blong hem Profet i talem: “Hem i tru mifala i bin safa plante long wanem yu bin mekem. … Be, hadtaem i hapen finis, wanem we Papa long Heven i wantem blong i hapen i hapen finis, mo yumi laef yet i stap. … Kam, dia brata, wo i finis finis, ol fren long fas ples, bae oli fren bakegen long en.”
Wetem tru fasin blong sakem sin, William Phelps i berem “ol tul blong faet blong hem” mo kambak fulwan long Jos, mo i neva foldaon bakegen.
Ating wei blong go agensem God, we i moa nogud, i blong agensem—blong no wantem save long wanem we Hem i wantem yumi blong mekem long laef blong yumi. Plante we bae oli neva tingting blong stap agens be yet oli gohed blong agensem tingting mo tok blong God taem oli stap folem tingting blong olgetawan mo no tingbaot God. Mi tingbaot wan singsing we i popula plante yia i pas we Frank Sinatra nao i singsing long hem “Mi bin mekem long wei blong mi.” (“I did it my way.”) I tru, long laef i gat plante rum blong wanem yu wantem mo ol joes blong yuwan, be taem hem i kam long ol samting blong fasin blong sevem man mo laef we i no save finis, stamba singsing blong yumi i mas, “Mi bin mekem long wei blong God,” from i tru i nomo gat eni nara wei.
Tekem olsem, eksampol blong Sevya long saed blong kasem baptaes. Hem i kasem baptaes blong soemaot se Hem i stap tru long Papa mo olsem wan eksampol long yumi.
“Hem i soem long ol pikinini blong ol man we, folem bodi blong mit mo bun, hem i putum tingting blong hem i stap daon long fored blong Papa, mo hem i witnes long Papa se bae hem i obei long hem blong obei ol komanmen blong hem. …
“Mo hem i bin talem long ol pikinini blong ol man se: Yufala i folem mi. Taswe, ol brata blong mi we mi lavem tumas, ?bae yumi save folem Jisas sapos yumi no glad blong obei long ol komanmen blong Papa?”
I nogat “wei blong mi” sapos yumi wantem blong folem eksampol blong Kraes. Blong faenem wan nara wei i nogat yus, i olsem we yu stap wok long [Taoa blong Babel], bitim hemia blong lukluk long Kraes mo fasin blong Hem blong sevem man.
Ol naef mo ol nara tul blong faet we Ol Man blong Leman oli bin berem, oli ol tul ia nao we oli yusum blong agens. Ol semmak kaen tul ia nao i stap long ol han blong ol boe blong olgeta, oli stap yusum blong difendem olgeta blong famli mo fridom, oli no ol tul blong go agensem God.long eni taem. Semmak olsem ol tul blong faet we i stap long ol han blong Ol Man blong Nifae: “Be, Ol Man blong Nifae oli gat insperesen we i kam long wan wok we i moa gud, from oli no bin faet blong kam king o from paoa, be oli stap faet from ol haos blong olgeta, mo ol fridom blong olgeta, ol waef blong olgeta mo ol pikinini blong olgeta, mo evri samting blong olgeta, yes, from ol fasin blong wosip blong olgeta mo jos blong olgeta.”
Long semmak wei ia, i gat sam samting long laef blong yumi we i nid blong yumi stap long medel o blong mekem gud be sapos oli yusum long rong wei oli save kam “ol tul blong faet blong agens.” Eksampol, ol toktok blong yumi, i save leftemap o putum yumi daon. Olsem Jemes i bin talem:
“Be i no gat man samtaem we i save mekem tang blong hem i stap kwaet. Tok we i kamaot long hem i nogud tumas, mo yumi no save blokem. Hem i olsem posen we i save kilim man i ded.
“Yumi stap yusum tang blong yumi blong presem Hae God ya we i Papa blong yumi, mo yumi stap yusum tu blong tok nogud long ol narafala man we God i mekem olgeta long pikja blong hem.
“Aot long sem maot, ol blesing mo ol strong nogud tok oli kamaot long hem. Long sem maot nomo, yumi stap toktok gud, mo yumi stap toktok nogud. Be samting ya i krangke olgeta.”
I gat plante toktok long pablik mo yuwan tedei we i no stret mo i no kaen. I gat ol storian we i gat swea mo i rabis, iven long medel blong ol yut. Ol kaen toktok olsem i wan “tul blong faet” agensem God, “ i olsem posen we i save kilim man i ded.”
Tingting long nara eksampol ia blong wan samting we i naes tumas be i save go agens long wan samting we i gud—wok blong wan man. Wan i save faenem glad mo laekem wan wok, strong tingting, o seves, mo yumi evriwan i kasem blesing long wanem ol pipol ia we oli putum taem mo talen blong olgeta long ol plante wok we oli traem mo oli winim.
Be yet, blong tingting nomo long wok blong yu i save kam mein lukluk nomo long laef blong yu. Afta evri samting i kam nambatu, hemia wetem eni samting we Sevya i mekem long laef mo talen blong wan. I go long ol man, mo woman tu, we oli no wantem mared, no wantem blong joen wetem man o woman blong hem, no wantem lukaotem pikinini blong hem, o wantem blong gat pikinini from nomo oli wantem wok gud i save mekem ol gudfala wok ia bae i kam wan fasin blong go agens.
Wan nara eksampol hem i bodi blong yumi. Pol i rimaenem yumi blong givim glori i go long God tugeta long bodi mo spirit mo bodi ia tempol blong Tabu Spirit, “Fastaem,bodi blong yufala i blong yufala nomo, be naoia i blong God.” Mekem se, yumi gat raet ia blong spendem taem blong lukaotem gud bodi blong yumi.olsem we yumi save mekem. Sam long yumi i kasem long top, olsem we yumi stap luk long Olimpik mo Paralimpik, sam long yumi i stap kam olfala, o wanem Presiden M. Russell Ballard i singaotem “ol joen oli stap kam slak.”
Be, mi bilif se Krieta bae i glad sapos yumi lukaotem gud naesfala presen blong Hem we i bodi. Bae hem i wan mak blong go agens sapos yumi no mekem gud, abiusum, o no stap mekem wanem we wan i save mekem blong gat wan helti laefstael. Long semmak taem, hae tingting mo blong stap mekmekem gud yu i save stap olsem blong go agens, i lidim yu blong go wosipim presen blong God be no wosipim God.
Long en, blong berem ol tul blong faet blong yumi agensem God i minim nomo blong mekem folem ol gudfala toktok blong Tabu Spirit, mo i tekemaot man we i folem fasin blong wol, mo kam wan sent tru long atonmen blong Kraes we i Lod.” I minim blong putum fas komanmen faswan long ol laef blong yumi. I minim blong stap letem God i win. Sapos lav blong yumi long God mo strong tingting ia blong wok blong Hem wetem ful hat, ful maen, mo ful paoa mo kam olsem ston we oli raet long hem tru long hem bae oli jajem yumi long hem mo mekem ol desisen blong yumi, bae yumi berem ol tul blong faet blong agens. Tru long sore blong Kraes, God bae i fogivim ol sin mo ol agens blong bifo mo bae i tekemaot ol mak blong ol sin mo ol agens ia long ol hat blong yumi. Afta, bae Hem i tekemaot ol rabis tingting blong hat, olsem we Hem i bin mekem long olgeta Man blong Leman blong bifo. Mo afta, bae yumi tu “bae yumi neva lus.”
Putum daon fulwan ol tul blong faet blong stap agens i lid i go long wan spesel glad. Wetem olgeta evriwan we oli jenisim laef i kam long Lod, yumi stap “singsing long singsing blong lav we i pemaot man.” Papa blong yumi long Heven mo Pikinini Boe blong Hem, Ridima blong yumi, i talemaot komitmen blong Tufala blong mekem yumi stap glad tru long lav mo sakrifaes we i kam long hat. Yumi eksperiensem lav blong Tufala evri dei. Yes yumi save mekem i semmak wetem lav mo tras blong yumiwan. Bae yumi berem—i go daon,i dip—eni samting we i pat blong go agensem God long ol laef blong yumi mo jenisim wetem wan hat mo maen we i wantem.mekem samting. Long nem blong Jisas Kraes, amen.
