Study the Principle of Learning: You Are a Child of God

Ko e Fānau Koe ʻa e ʻOtuá

I am a child of God with eternal potential and purpose.

Ko e fānau au ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻi ai hoku tufakanga mo e taumuʻa ʻoku taʻengata.

Ko ha fānau ʻofeina kimoutolu ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻi ai homou mahuʻinga mo e ivi malava taʻengata. ʻOku tau ako lahi ange ki heni mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻOku tau lau ki ha taimi naʻe akonaki ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi mo faitāpuekina ʻa e kakaí. Naʻá Ne tuku ha taimi ke tāpuakiʻi tahataha ai ʻa e tokotaha takitaha. Naʻá Ne tuku ha taimi ke tāpuakiʻi mo akoʻi ai ʻenau fānaú.

ʻI Heʻene tāpuakiʻi ʻa e fānau īkí, naʻe hoko ha meʻa fakaofo: “[Naʻe] vete ange ʻe [Sīsū Kalaisi] honau ʻeleló, pea naʻa nau lea ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí ʻaki ʻa ha ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga mo fakaofo, … pea naʻá ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻa e mālohi ke nau lea” (3 Nīfai 26:14).

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he fānau īkí ki he kakaí ha ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga mo fakaofo. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he fānau iiki ko ʻení ha ivi malava kāfakafa, pea naʻe tokoniʻi kinautolu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke nau ʻiloʻi e meʻa te nau malavá. ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ke ʻiloʻi e meʻa te ke malavá. ʻOku lahi fau e meʻa te ke lava ʻo fakahokó. ʻOku ʻi ai hoʻo taumuʻa, pea ʻe lava ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fakahā atu e meʻa ʻoku malavá ʻi hoʻo kumia ʻEne tokoní. Hangē pē ko e foaki ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki he fānaú ke nau malava ʻo leá, ʻe lava foki ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo vete ho ʻeleló. Te Ne lava ʻo tokoniʻi koe ke ke lea. Te Ne lava ʻo tokoniʻi koe ke ke tui ki he tuʻunga taʻengata te ke malavá.
