Ka lokomaikai like ole o ke Akua

He waiwai nui ka hua'ōlelo "aloha" ma nā pōʻai Karistiano. ʻO ia ke kumu he mea nui e noʻonoʻo i ko lākou manaʻo maoli. He paʻakikī nui ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka lokomaikaʻi, ʻaʻole no ka maopopo ʻole a paʻakikī paha ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia, akā no ka nui o kona ākea. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "aloha" i loaʻa mai ka huaʻōlelo Helene "charis" a, ma nā ʻōlelo Karistiano, wehewehe i ka lokomaikaʻi ʻole a i ʻole ka lokomaikaʻi a ke Akua i hōʻike ai i nā kānaka. ʻO ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua he makana a me ka pane i ke kūlana kanaka. ʻO ka lokomaikaʻi ke aloha ʻole o ke Akua iā mākou, kahi e ʻae ai ʻo ia iā mākou a hoʻohui iā mākou i loko o kona ola. ʻO ke aloha o ke Akua ke kumu o kāna mau hana a pau iā mākou. "O ka mea aloha ole, aole ia i ike i ke Akua; no ka mea, he aloha ke Akua" (1. Johannes 4,8 Butcher Bible).

Ua koho ko mākou Akua lokomaikaʻi e aloha iā mākou me ka nānā ʻole i kā mākou hana a i ʻole nā ​​​​hana. ʻO Agape ke aloha pau ʻole, a ʻo ka lokomaikaʻi ka hōʻike ʻana o kēlā aloha i hāʻawi ʻia i ke kanaka inā mākou e ʻike, manaʻoʻiʻo, a ʻae paha. Ke hoʻomaopopo mākou i kēia, e loli ko mākou ola: "A i ʻole ʻoe e hoʻowahāwahā i ka waiwai o kona maikaʻi, hoʻomanawanui a hoʻomanawanui? ʻAʻole anei ʻoe i ʻike ʻo ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i ka mihi?" (Roma 2,4).

Inā he maka ka lokomaikaʻi, ʻo ko Iesū Kristo ia. No ka mea, i loko ona ke ʻike nei kākou i ka lokomaikaʻi ʻoiaʻiʻo e noho nei i loko o kākou a ma o kākou lā. E like me ka ʻōlelo a ka aposetolo Paulo: "Ke ola nei au, ʻaʻole wau, akā ʻo Kristo ke ola i loko oʻu" (Galatia. 2,20).

ʻO ka noho ʻana i ke ola lokomaikaʻi, ʻo ia ka hilinaʻi ʻana aia ke Akua ma ko mākou ʻaoʻao a hoʻokō i kāna kumumanaʻo no mākou ma o ka mana o ka ʻUhane o Kristo. Ua olelo mai ka lunaolelo o Petero no ke ano o ka lokomaikai o ke Akua: “E malama oukou i kekahi i kekahi, i kela mea i keia mea me ka haawina i loaa ia ia, e like me na puuku maikai o ka lokomaikai o ke Akua. Ina e lawelawe kekahi, e hana ia pela ma ka mana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai, i hoonaniia ke Akua ma na mea a pau ma o Iesu Kristo la.1. Petrus 4,10-11th).
Ua like ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua me ke daimana me nā ʻano he nui: nānā ʻia mai kahi kihi, hōʻike ia i kahi nani kūʻokoʻa. Inā ʻoe e hoʻohuli, e hōʻike ana i kahi helehelena ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ke aloha ma ke ʻano he nohona

ʻO ko mākou manaʻoʻiʻo i ke Akua a me kāna lokomaikaʻi e hoʻoikaika nui i ko mākou ʻike ʻana iā mākou iho a me kā mākou ʻano i kekahi. ʻO ka nui aʻe o ko mākou ʻike ʻana he Akua aloha a me ka lokomaikaʻi ke Akua a hāʻawi ʻo ia iā mākou i kēia aloha a me ka lokomaikaʻi ma o kāna Keiki ʻo Iesū Kristo, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻololi ʻia a hoʻololi ʻia. Ma kēia ala e hiki ai iā mākou ke hāʻawi aku i ke aloha a me ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe: "E lawelawe kekahi i kekahi, i kēlā me kēia me ka makana i loaʻa iā ia, e like me nā puʻukū maikaʻi o ka lokomaikaʻi like ʻole o ke Akua" (1 Peter. 4,10).

Hoʻololi ka lokomaikaʻi i ko mākou manaʻo i ke Akua. Hoʻomaopopo mākou aia ʻo ia ma ko mākou ʻaoʻao. Hoʻololi ia i ke ʻano o kā mākou ʻike iā mākou iho - ʻaʻole i pili i ka maikaʻi o mākou, akā i ka maikaʻi o ke Akua. ʻO ka hope, hoʻoikaika ka lokomaikaʻi i ke ʻano o kā mākou launa ʻana me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe: "E manaʻo like ʻoukou i waena o ʻoukou iho, e like me ka pono o ka launa ʻana iā Kristo Iesu" (Philipiians). 2,5). I ko kakou hele pu ana ma keia ala, pono kakou e apo i ka lokomaikai o ke Akua, a e ulu i kona aloha hou.
