Kaupapa Ora / Kua Tutuki ✅

Ko te mea nui rawa atu i roto i tēnei oranga ko te whiwhi i te koha o te whakaora nā te Atua. He kore utu te whakaora, ā, mō te katoa.

Kua utua mō ō hara katoa e tō tātou Ariki, a Ihu. Ināianei ko tō wā kia whakaae koe.

Ko tō tātou kōwhiringa noa te anatoru anake e aukati ana i a tātou mai i te whiwhi i tēnei koha tino nui. E whakawhetai ana te Atua ki ā tātou kōwhiringa. Kua rite koe ki te whakaae i te whakaora me te ora ake tonutanga?

Kāore he mea nui ake i tēnei. E tautokohia ana tēnei kaupapa e te Paipera Tapu katoa, ā, i hangaia i raro i te ārahi a te Wairua Tapu. Mēnā kua rite koe, tēnā kōrero i tēnei inoi ki te reo nui, i roto i tō ngākau pono mō ia kupu.

"E Matua i te rangi,
e mōhio ana ahau he hara ahau, ā, e hiahia ana ahau i tōu ārahitanga.
E whakapono ana ahau i mate a Ihu mōku, ā, i ara ake ia i te mate.
Ka huri taku ngākau i ōku hara, ā, ka whakaae ahau ki a Ihu hei Tohuaki me te Kaiwhakaora mōku.

E Ihu Karaiti rangatira, tēnā koe mō tō whakaora i ahau. Āmena."

Kua oti tāu mahi? Ngā mihi! Kua oti tō kaupapa ora! I uaua rānei? Kāo—he māmā noa iho, engari he tokomaha ka kore e eke, ā, ka mahue atu te ora tonu o te rangimārie.

“He tokomaha ngā karanga, he iti nei ngā kōwhiria.” – Mātiu 22:14
“Nā te aroha anake i whakaoratia ai koutou mā te whakapono; kāore i ahu mai i a koutou; he koha tenei nā te Atua—ehara i ngā mahi kia kaua e whakakake tētahi.” – Āperahama 2:8-9

He koha tēnei nā te Atua mō te hunga kua rite ki te whiwhi. Tēnā whakamōhiohia te Kupu a te Atua kia tae atu ki ngā kōwhiria.

“I tīpako mai ia i a tātou i roto i a Ia i mua i te hangatanga o te ao kia tapu tātou, kāore he hē i roto i a tātou i tana aroha…” – Āperahama 1:4-5

Ki te oti i a koe tō kaupapa, ko koe tētahi o te hunga hokona nō te hoatu o te tino koha a te Atua, ara ko te ora ake tonutanga.

Ki te kī koe i ēnei kupu ki tō ngākau katoa, ĀE, kua ora koe ināianei

Ko te whakaora, ko te whiwhi i te ora ake tonutanga mā Ihu Karaiti, me te karo i te ū ki te takiwa o ngā hara.
“Ko te ingoa kāore i tuhia ki te pukapuka ora, ka whēria ki roto i te moana ahi.” – Whakakitenga 20:15

E hiahia ana mātou ki te whakaora nā te mea kei roto mātou i te āhua o te hara, ā, kua wehe mātou i te Atua i te hē o Ārama rāua ko Hawa i te kāinga o Edene (Whetūma 3). Ka ara tēnei wehenga ki te mate o te tinana me te mate wairua—ko te wehe ake tonu i te Atua i te rā o te whiringa.

Ka whakakapi tēnei inoi i ngā kaupae nui mō te whakaora:

Whakaae ki te hiahia mō te whakaora: “Nā te mea kua hara tana katoa, ā, kua ngaro te korōria o te Atua ia ratou.” (Rōma 3:23)
Whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti hei Tohuaki me te Kaiwhakaora: “Nā te mea koia tonu te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, kia hoatu e ia tana Tama kotahi, ko ia anake, kia kore te tangata e ngaro, engari kia whai ora ake tonutanga.” (Hoani 3:16)
Whakapuaki hara me te whakahoki ki te Atua: “Ki te whakapuaki mātou i ō mātou hara, ko ia he pono, he tika kia tuku i ō mātou hara kia mātou anō, kia horoia mātou i ngā kino katoa.” (1 Hoani 1:9); “Whakahoki, ka hoki mai ki te Atua, kia mukua ō hara.” (Mahi 3:19)
Whakapuaki whakapono mā ōu kupu: “Ki te whakapuaki āu i te kauhoe, ‘Ko Ihu tōku Tohuaki,’ ā, me te whakapono āu i te ngākau, “I ara ake ia i te mate,” ka ora koe.” (Rōma 10:9-10)

Āe, he tikanga noa. Kua whiwhi koe i te koha tino whai mana—te ora ake tonutanga. Ināianei ko koe he tamaiti a te Atua, ā, kua ora koe. Ka hinga te tātāpuhia i tō aroaro.

He huarahi ātaonga tēnei mō te katoa, ahakoa he aha tō whakapono. He koha tēnei nā te Atua ki te tangata e whakapono ana ki a Ihu Karaiti hei Tohuaki me te Kaiwhakaora. Ka whakaako te Paipera ko Ihu anake te ara ki te Matua (Hoani 14:6). Ahakoa Karaitiana, ahakoa kī, he ōrite te katoa i te aroaro o te Atua; ko te mea rerekē, ko te hunga e pupuri ana i āna whakahau ka ora, ā, ko te hunga kāore e pupuri ka ngaro.

Ka tuku te karere whakaora i te kōwhiringa: mēnā kia whakaae rānei kaua. Ko tenei kōwhiringa te ārahi matua o te whakapono Karaitiana, ā, ka whakaatu i te hiranga o te mana motuhake.

He rerekē te whakapono ake me te hāhi whakahaere. Rapua te Atua mā te inoi, noho koretaka ki te hara, pānuitia te Paipera ia rā, ka ārahihia e te Wairua Tapu.

Kia mau tonu te ora, kia ū tō whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti, kia whakapono tonu mā te inoi, pānuitia te Paipera, me te whakamahi i ngā mātāpono Paipera i ia rā.

He kotahi tonu te pono: ko Ihu Karaiti anake te ara hei whakaora i a tātou i ngā hara. Rapua te Paipera hei kimi i ngā whakautu katoa.

He wāhanga o te haerenga whakapono ngā ruarua. Rapua te arahina mā te inoi, pānuitanga Paipera, me ngā whakawhitiwhitinga kōrero ki ngā karaiti me te pakeke. Ehara te whakapono i te mōhio ki ngā whakautu katoa, engari ko te whakawhirinaki ki te Atua ahakoa he ruarua.

Ka puta te ora mā te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti, kāore i te ahu noa i te whakapono kei reira te Atua. Ko te whakapono tūturu ka whiwhi i a Ihu hei Tohuaki me te Kaiwhakaora, ā, ka hurihia te oranga.

Hei mōhio ki te hiahia a te Atua, inoi, pānuitia te Paipera, rapua ngā tohutohu i ngā karaiti mohio, ā, whakarongo ki te Wairua Tapu i roto i tō ngākau me ngā āhuatanga katoa.

He mea nui kia pānui i te Paipera i ia rā kia tupu te whakapono me te mārama ki te hiahia a te Atua. Tonoa kia pānui ia rā, engari whakatika ki tō rārangi wā.

He maha e whakapono ana he haumaru te whakaora ki roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ā, kāore te hara e taea te wehe i te tangata whakapono i te aroha a te Atua. Heoi, ka taea e te hara me te kore inoi whakapae te parakore o te hononga ki te Atua, nō reira he mea nui te inoi inōki i ngā hara me te urupare māmā.

Āe, e whakaingoatia ana te whakaora hei koha nā te Atua ki te katoa, engari me whiwhi ake mā te whakapono ake. E whakaako ana te Paipera he hiahia a te Atua kia ora te katoa, kia mōhio ki te pono (1 Timoti 2:4), ā, e whakamārama ana a Āperahama 2:8-9 ko te whakaora he koha, ehara i te hua mahi.
