Noa ' tu te parau mau, e o te Bible te buka hoo-rahi-roa ' ' e-hia e te " tai'o " i te ao nei, Ua aro atoa te Bibel i te Buka faufaa roa ' ' e i te ao nei. Many countries are afraid of the Bible and have forbidden Bibles. E ere i te mea huru ê, since the Bible is the only Book in the world, wherein God reveals Himself and the truth through His words. The Bible is so powerful that it divides soul and spirit and changes lives. But is the Bible still considered the true and eternal Word of God? Do Christians spend time in the Bible and is the Bible the highest authority in their lives? Is the Bible still compelling and relevant to Christians or do the hearts of Christians go out to other books and is the Bible faded into the background or even completely disappeared from their lives?
The sons of God spent time in the Bible
Ia fanau-faahou-hia te hoê taata, which means that the flesh dies and the spirit is raised from the dead in Christ, and the person becomes a new creation, the person shall long to spend time in the Bible and search the Scriptures and feed themselves with the words of God. No te mea te Varua Mo'a, O vai te parahi i roto i te hamaniraa apî, draws the new creation to the Word of God and desires to be in unity with Jesus Christ; te parau, e te Metua.
Ua tamâ outou i to outou mau varua i roto i te hi'opo'araa i te parau mau na roto i te Varua ia ore ia here i te taea'e, hi'o e, te here ra outou i te tahi e te tahi e te hoê mafatu mâ: Ua fanauhia ', e ere i te hoê huero, e ere râ i te mea ino roa., na roto i te parau a te Atua, o vai te ora e te tahi atu mau taata (1 Peter 1:22-23)
Mai ia Iesu ana'e, te Tamaiti a te Atua, withdrew Himself to spend time with the Father, Oia, who are born of God and belong to Him shall also withdraw themselves to spend time with Jesus Christ and the Father in the Word and in prayer. (A tai'o atoa: Te ora huna o te taata faaroo).
E na roto i te reira, te ite nei tatou e, ua ite tatou Ia'na, mai te mea e, e haapa'o tatou i Ta'na mau faaueraa. Ua parau oia, Ua ite au Ia'na, e aita oia e haapa'o i Ta'na mau faaueraa, e ere i te mea ino roa, e aita e parau mau i roto ia'na. Teie râ, o te haapa'o i Ta'na parau, I roto ia'na, te vai ra te here o te Atua tei ti'amâ: Te ite nei tatou e, tei roto tatou Ia'na. O te parau ra e, te parahi nei oia i roto ia'na, e ti'a ia'na ia haere mai te reira te huru, noa'tu e, ua haere Oia (1 John 2:3-6)
The Bible is the Word of God and contains the truth. Na roto i te Bible, e ite outou i te Iesu Mesia mau and the will of God and His Kingdom.
The more time you spend in the Bible, the better you shall get to know God and His will. And by believing, obeying, e doing the words of God, you shall walk as Jesus Christ in the will of God.
The Bible should be the highest authority in the lives of Christians
The Bible is the power of God and should be the highest authority in the lives of every born-again Christian, tei riro mai ei tamaiti na te Atua (Te tane e te vahine). Te vahi pe'ape'a râ, e ere te reira i te mau taime atoa.
Many Christians don’t consider the words of God as credible, compelling, and relevant, but as outdated, dusty, and old-fashioned that don’t fit in today’s society. Ei faahopearaa, God’s words are no longer believed, mātāmua, and applied, but adjusted, ua taui, and/or rejected.
E (Iesu) ua pahono maira oia e ua parau atu ia ratou, My mother and My brethren are these which hear the word of God, e te rave i te reira (Luka 8:21)
But He (Iesu) I tuʻu, Oia mau, e ao to ratou e faaroo ra i te parau a te Atua, e a tape'a i te reira (Luka 11:28)
The deception of the devil
The prince and ruler of this world (te diabolo) doesn’t want people to find out the truth and discover his lies in which many people live. No reira, the devil adjusts and corrupts the words of God very subtle through modern Bible translations and false teachings of man.
He keeps the people away from the truth and the Kingdom of God by keeping them away from the Bible; te parau a te Atua.
He tempts, seduces, e entertains people with the things of this world and claim their time.
True born again Christians, who walk after the Spirit shall spend time in the Word and consider the Bible as the truth. Te haere nei ratou i te vahi, the Bible is compelling and relevant and the highest authority in their lives.
Tera râ,, e'ā, aita i fanau-faahou-hia e aita te Varua o te Atua e parahi ra i roto ia ratou, but the spirit of the world, shall not long to be with Jesus and the Father and spend time in the light of the Word. They rather spend time in the light of the world aka the light of their phone, te afata teata, (ha'utiraa)ta'atārere, e te tahi atu â.
Te anaanatae noa ra anei te Bible i te mau Kerisetiano?
Many Christians don’t consider the Bible a compelling spiritual Book, which contains the life of God and reveals the will of God and is relevant and needed for the spiritual man to grow up into a mature son of God and to stand against all the temptations and wiles of the devil.
They don’t consider the Bible as the Sword of the Spirit and don’t know how the handle the Sword of the Spirit in the ongoing spiritual battle.
Maoti râ, they walk in pride by thinking, that they know the Bible after reading the Bible so many times.
E mea vitiviti hoi te Parau a te Atua, Fa'atumu, e hau atu i te piti o te 'ode, Noa'tu e, e mea maitai roa te Atua i raro a'e i te varua e te varua, e te mau amuiraa e te mau pahi tama'i, e te hoê taata aravihi no te mau mana'o e te mau tumu o te mafatu (Heberia 4:12)
But Jesus answered and said, Ua papa'i, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Mataio 4:4)
But as long as someone doesn’t walk and lives as a mature son of God in the will of God, as Jesus walked in the will of the Father, someone doesn’t know the Bible completely
Head knowledge puffs up
You can have a lot of head knowledge of the Bible, but head knowledge doesn’t do anything with a person, except that it puffs up a person and exalt himself above others.
You don’t enter the Kingdom of God by having head knowledge of the Bible, even though many people think they do. But that’s because, despite their head knowledge, they don’t know the Word experientially nor have the Word abiding in their heart.
And so many Christians are misled and lead defeated lives and are controlled by the spirit of the world. They rather feed themselves with the knowledge and wisdom of the world and listen to what ‘learned’ people have to say and consider their words as the truth and walk by faith according to their words.
What is the difference between believers and unbelievers?
E mea fifi roa ia ite i te mau taa-ê-raa i rotopu i te feia faaroo e te mau ti'aturiraa. That’s because many Christians believe the words of the world above the words of God. The words of the world that correspond with the carnal mind and will of the flesh, are the highest authority in their lives.
To ratou mau mana'o, huru feruriraa, Re'o, and opinions hardly differ from each other. The only difference is that believers say they believe that God exists and believe in Jesus Christ and the unbelievers don’t. But their walk, Re'o, works and life are many times identical, since they walk after the flesh and are led by the same spirit that reigns in the flesh. (A tai'o atoa: Mai te mea e, te ora nei te mau Kerisetiano mai te ao nei, Eaha ta te ao nei e pahono mai?).
Most Christians are carnal and are led by the spirit of the world, mai te feia ti'aturi ore. They walk after the flesh and are led by their feelings and what happens in the natural realm. They are dependent upon situations, the surrounding, e, mai te ao nei. Their outside world determines how they feel and determines their state. Ia haapoto noa, their lives and well-being depend upon external factors in the natural realm.
They follow the same path as the world and read all kinds of books, written by man, E ere i te mea matauhia i te Bible, e. They engage in various teachings, fa'a'ōfa'i, and technics that often derive from te mau philosophia o te taata and pagan religions that are popular in the world, whereby the carnal man is strengthened and the spiritual man weakens. Through all this carnal knowledge they defile themselves and enter sideways, which eventually leads to the abyss.
The devil wants to keep you ignorant
ōhipa, o te arii ïa o te ao nei, shall do anything to keep the people away from the Bible and eliminate the Bible from people’s lives. All because the devil knows the power of the Bible.
Without the Bible and the renewing of the mind with the Word of God, people shall never get to know the will of God and never find out the Truth, and never walk by faith in the will of God. E o te reira iho â ta te diabolo e hinaaro ra.
No reira, e noaa mai te faaroo na roto i te faarooraa, e te faarooraa i te Parau a te Atua
Roma 10:17
'Ia riro ei miti no te fenua’
