Whare, he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti i runga i ta te Atua i pai ai, ko Timoti hoki to tatou teina, Ki te hunga tapu, ki nga teina whakapono hoki i roto i a te Karaiti, i Korohe: Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti. Ka whakawhetai tonu matou ki te Atua, ki te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, e inoi ana mo koutou, Mai i te rongonga o to whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu, me to koutou aroha ki te hunga tapu katoa (Kolosa 1:1-4)
Ko te reta a te apotoro a Paulo ki te hunga tapu i Kolosa
He apotoro a Paora, ko wai i whiriwhiria, i whakaritea e te Atua hei apotoro, hei kaiwhakaatu mo Ihu Karaiti. Ko te hiahia o te Atua ki a ia kia kauwhau i te rongopai o Ihu Karaiti me te whakaatu me te kawe mai i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te iwi. (nga iwi).
Ko te pukapuka Kolosa te reta, ta Paora i tuhituhi ki te hunga tapu (Te Ekalesia) i Kolose.
He aha te Kolosans 1:1-4 ngākau tūtūā?
I Ngā Hoa Mahi 1:1-4, Ua papai o Paulo i te feia mo‘a e te mau taeae haapao maitai i roto i te Mesia i Kolosa no nia i to ratou tiaraa e to ratou haerea. Ua farii o Paulo i te tiaraa o te feia mo‘a e to ratou haerea i roto i te Mesia.
Na ka tuhituhi ia, kia tau ki a ratou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
Na ka whakawhetai a Paora raua ko Timoti ki te Atua, ara ki te Matua o to ratou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mo ratou. I inoi tonu ratou mo te hunga tapu, no te mea i rongo ratou ki to ratou whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki to ratou aroha hoki ki te hunga tapu katoa.
I pehea to ratou whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu, me to ratou aroha ki te hunga tapu katoa?
Na a ratou mahi i kitea ai te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu, me te aroha ki te hunga tapu katoa. Na roto i ta raatau hikoi me o raatau mahi, ua faaite ratou i to ratou faaroo e to ratou here e ua faatupu i na faaueraa rahi e piti, ta Iesu i faahiti i roto i te Mataio 22:37-40 ko Luke 10:27.
Kei runga i enei kupu e rua e iri ana te ture me nga poropiti.
He aha nga ture nui e rua?
Ko nga ture nui e rua: ki aroha ki te Atua ma o koutou ngakau katoa, hinengaro, wairua, me te kaha, kia aroha hoki ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.
Aroha ki te Atua ma o koutou ngakau katoa, hinengaro, wairua, me te kaha
“Ki te aroha koutou ki ahau, you will keep My commandments” (Hone 14:15)
When you love God with all your heart, hinengaro, wairua, me te kaha, you will listen to Him, whakarongo ki a ia, me te pupuri i ana whakahau. You will follow Him and walk in His will.
The Father sent His Word; Jesus Christ to the earth to become the Savior of humanity and the Way, the Truth and the Life to everyone who believes.
If you really love Jesus Christ, then you will obey His words and keep His commandments. (Panuitia hoki: ‘Ko nga ture a te Atua me nga ture a Ihu Karaiti')
I roto i nga Hiperu 11:6, we read that without faith, e kore e taea te whakamanawareka ki te Atua. Because if you don’t have faith, you don’t do what the Word says.
Only when you believe in God and love God with all of your heart, e haapa‘o outou i Ta’na mau parau e e haapa‘o i Ta’na mau faaueraa.
If you have faith in Jesus Christ and faith in His Name, you will walk by faith in obedience to His words and keep His commandments and fulfill His will on earth.
What is the will of the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ?
Te hinaaro o te Metua e o te Fatu ra o Iesu Mesia o te feia faaroo ïa:
- kia iriiria,
- kia ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu,
- hei kaiwhakaatu mo te Karaiti,
- kauwhautia te rongopai,
- whakaora i nga turoro,
- peia nga rewera,
- whakaarahia te hunga mate
Ko te whakapono ki te Ingoa o Ihu te putake o enei mea katoa. Ko te putake o to haere i roto i a te Karaiti i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu.
Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe
Ko te ture tuarua ko te aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe. Ko te tikanga tenei ka atawhai koe i to hoa tata, te huarahi e hiahia ana koe kia tukinotia koe. Mena ka maumahara tonu koe ki enei kupu, ka kore e taea e koe te he.
He wairua kotahi koe ki o tuakana me o tuakana. Te Wairua Tapu, Ko wai e noho ana i roto i a koe me o tuakana, teina, te hono, te here i a koe. No reira, me mahi koe ki ou tuakana, te huarahi e hiahia ana koe kia tukinotia koe, no te mea e ora ana a te Karaiti i roto ia ratou.
Ko te tikanga tenei, kia korero pono ai koe, kaua hoki e teka ki a ratou, tahae i a ratou, tāhae, mahi puremu, kohukohu, kare e murua, noho riri ki a ratou, kia hae ki a ratou, etc.
Engari ka tika koe ki a raatau (E ai ki te Paipera) kia pai ake hoki tera i a koe (Philipi 2:3).
Heoi ano, te hereraa i to taata-tupu e ere ïa i te fariiraa e te fariiraa i te hara. No te mea na te Paipera, e whakaae ana ki te hara, me te whakaaro ki nga mea kino, ehara i te mea pai na Ihowa.
Mena ka aroha koe ki to hoa tata kaore koe e hiahia kia pa mai tetahi mea kino ki a raatau.
Mena kua mohio koe ki te pono o te Atua me te aroha ki to hoa tata, ka whakatupato koe i to hoa tata ki te pono o te Atua. Ka karanga koe ia ratou ki te ripeneta me te tango i te hara i roto i to ratau oranga. No te mea e matau ana koutou ko te hara e arahi ai ki te mate, ehara hoki te hara i te hiahia o te Atua. (Panuitia hoki: He aha te tino tikanga o te aroha ki to hoa tata ano ko koe?).
Engari ka timata katoa i to aroha ki te Atua. No te mea na to aroha ki te Atua ka aroha koe ki nga tangata e tata ana ki a koe.
He whakapono to te hahi ki a Karaiti Ihu me te aroha ki te hunga tapu
Ko tenei aroha ehara i te aroha kikokiko, engari ko te aroha tika o te Atua, o Ihu Karaiti. He maha nga wa, E mana‘o hape to te mau Kerisetiano no nia i te here Bibilia. No reira e mea faufaa ia haapii i te Parau a te Atua. Kia kitea ai e koe te pono o te Atua, he aha te tino aroha o te Atua, he aha te Aroha rūpahu (o tenei ao) ko.
Ka rite ki te Karaitiana; e taata faaroo e e pee ia Iesu Mesia e e melo no te Ekalesia (te Tino o te Karaiti i runga i te whenua), e whakapono ana koe ki a Karaiti Ihu, e aroha ana hoki ki te hunga tapu; to outou mau taeae e tuahine i roto i te Mesia.
'Kia tote o te whenua'
