O le eseesega i le va o atalii o le Atua ma atalii o le tiapolo, o le savavali lea o atalii o le Atua i le upu moni o le Afioga a le Atua ma o atalii o le tiapolo e savavali i le upu moni o le lalolagi.. What does the walk of the sons of God (e faatatau lenei mea i alii ma tamaitai) look like according to the Bible?
The Kingdom of God vs the kingdom of darkness (le lalolagi)
Since the kingdom of darkness aka the kingdom of the world, e matuā tetee lava i le Malo o le Atua, o upu o le malo o le lalolagi e matua tetee lava i upu o le Malo o le Atua.
Ona o lena, the world speaks against every word of God. The world cast down and destroys everything that derives from the Kingdom of God.
E mafai ona o mai tagata ma ituaiga uma (faasaienisi) faamaoniga, talavai, ma Aoaoga Faavae, but if they go against the Bible (Le Afioga a le Atua) and ensure that people leave the words of God and therefore leave Le Ala a le Atua, then people should reject these words and doctirnes, auā o pepelo ia.
Afai e te le teenaina nei pepelo, but believe them above the truth of God, ona teena ai lea o outou e le Atua, aua ua ia te oe rejected God and His Word.
What is the difference between the old man and the new man?
Faauta, O Le a Le Sili o le Alofa ua Lafoaia Tatou Tamā ia Tatou, e pei ona valaauina i tatou uma o atalii o le Atua: O le mea lea ua iloa ai e le lalolagi ia i tatou, Aua na ia le iloa o ia (1 Ioane 3:1)
Everything you see around you has its origin in God. Everything is created by God through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. O le foafoaga atoa e maua mai le malo faaleagaga nai lo le tulaga masani.
Man walked with God until man disobeyed God and sinned. Because of that man fell.
Ona o le pa'u o le tagata, ua oti le agaga o le tagata ma ua vavaeeseina le tagata mai le Atua.
Na avea le tagata ma mea faaletino ma pulea le mafaufau.
That’s why the old man differs from the new man in the fact that the old man is carnal and the new man is spiritual.
The old man is born of the seed of man and has a body and soul (o le tino) ma e faaletino. Therefore the old man lives sense ruled.
The old man has a carnal mind and lives according to the principle that every aafiaga faanatura e iai a mafuaaga faanatura.
Ona o lena, o le tagata tuai e ola i la le tino e tusa ma le natura (faasaienisi) a'oa'oga ma tulafono ma fa'aogaina auala fa'anatura, metotia, mataupu faavae, ma isi.
O le tagata fou e faaleagaga
The new man is born again in Jesus Christ and born of God. Ua toe faatuina mai le agaga mai le oti, whereby the new man has become spiritual.
The new man has the mind of Christ. The new man lives according to the principle that every aafiaga faanatura e iai a mafuaaga faaleagaga.
O lea la, e ola le tagata fou ma galue mai lona tulaga (Faauuga) o le atalii o le Atua (alii ma tamaitai) mai le Upu e tusa ma le Agaga ma taʻua mea e le o iai e peiseaī sa iai.
Le malo faaleagaga ua faaalia i le Feagaiga Tuai
God revealed the spiritual realm and His Kingdom to humankind through His Word (Le Tusi Paia).
I le Feagaiga Tuai na faaalia ai e le Atua le malo faaleagaga i Ona tagata e ala i le Tulafono, the words of His prophets, ma e le Ooga o Iesu Keriso. Jesus Christ was (ma o) the Word made flesh (Ioane 1:14).
Le malo faaleagaga ua faaalia i le Feagaiga Fou
Ae ina ua oo mai le atoaga o le taimi, Na auina mai e le Atua Lona Alo, na faia i se tamaitai, faia i lalo o le tulafono, Ina ia togiolaina i latou o e sa i lalo o le tulafono, ina ia mafai ona tatou maua le vaetamaina o atalii. Ma ona o outou o atalii, Ua auina mai e le Atua le Agaga o lona Alo i o outou loto, tagi, Abba, Tama. (Kalatia 4:4-6)
E ala i le afio mai, oti, ma le toetu o Iesu Keriso (o le Afioga soifua), o le Feagaiga Fou na ola mai. O le feagaiga fou ua faamauina ma le toto o Iesu Keriso (Eperu 12:24).
E ala i le toe faafouina ia Keriso, the new man is created. Ua le toe avea le tagata fou ma toeaina. O lea la, o le tagata fou le toe avea ma tagata agasala.
The new man is justified by His blood and made holy in Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit. (a.o. Roma 3:25; 5:9, 19; Efeso 1:7; Kolose 1:14; 1 Ioane 3:7),
E ala i le afio o le Agaga Paia, the will of God is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man. O le faaiuga, e savali le tagata fou i le Agaga e tusa ma le Upu i le finagalo o le Atua.
Ua Ova ia Atalii o le Atua i le moni o le Afioga a le Atua
O lea la, Uso, o i matou o tagata nofo aitalafu, e le o le tino, ia ola i la le tino. Aua afai tou te ola i le tino, e oti o le a: ae afai o outou i le Agaga e faʻamalosia ai galuega a le tino, o le a ola. Mo le toatele i latou e taʻitaʻiina e le Agaga o le Atua, O Atalii o le Atua (Roma 8:12-14)
O le Afioga a le Atua o le upu moni ma Ua mautu le Afioga a le Atua e faavavau. E leai se mea ma e leai se tasi e mafai ona faia se mea e uiga i ai.
E leai se tasi e mafai ona suia le upu moni o le Afioga a le Atua.
O lea la, manatu uma, aoaoga faavae, ma manatu, that opposes the Word of God (Le Tusi Paia) should be rejected. O lena la, the people stay obedient to God and His Word and walk on God’s way.
God’s way is the way of life and leads to eternal life.
A o oe toe fanauina ma e te talitonu i le Atua, you believe in His Word and you obey the Word.
You shall do what the Word says, ma avea ma e anaana i le Upu.
If you do what the Bible says and obey the Word, you obey God. Through your obedience to God and keeping His commandments, e te faaali atu ia te Ia o oe Alofa ia te Ia.
Through your faith in God and His Word and by being a doer of the Word, you’ll stay in Him. You shall walk after the Spirit in the truth of God’s Word, whereby you walk as the Word in the alofa i le Atua i le Lalolagi .
‘Ia fai ma masima o le lalolagi’
