E kala mai iā mākou i kā mākou hana kolohe

ʻO ka Worldwide Church of God for short WKG, English Worldwide Church of God (mai 3. ʻApelila 2009 Grace Communion International), ua hoʻololi i nā kūlana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei ma kekahi mau manaʻoʻiʻo a me nā hana lōʻihi. Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia mau hoʻololi i ka manaʻo e hiki mai ke ola ma o ka lokomaikaʻi, ma o ka manaʻoʻiʻo. ʻOiai mākou i haʻi aku i kēia i ka wā ma mua, ua pili mau ia i ka ʻōlelo a ke Akua e uku mai iā mākou no kā mākou hana hemolele, pono.

No nā makahiki he mau makahiki, ua noʻonoʻo mākou i ka mālama ʻana i ke kānāwai i lilo i kumu no ko mākou kaulike. I ko mākou makemake makemake e hōʻoluʻolu iā ia, ua ho'āʻo mākou e hoʻokumu i kahi pilina me ke Akua ma o nā kānāwai a me nā rula o ke Kauoha Kahiko. Ma kāna lokomaikai, ua hōʻike mai ke Akua iā mākou e pili ʻole i nā kuleana āpau o nā kānāwai āpau i nā Kristiano ma lalo o ke Kauoha Hou.

Ua lawe mai ʻo ia iā mākou i loko o ka waiwai o kona lokomaikaʻi a i kahi pilina hou me Iesū Kristo. Ua wehe ʻo ia i ko mākou mau puʻuwai a i nā ʻoliʻoli o kona ola. Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻolelo iā mākou i ka manaʻo hou a hauʻoli mākou i ka pilina pilikino i loaʻa iā mākou me ka Haku a me ka Hoʻōla i kēlā me kēia lā. 

I ka manawa like, ʻike mākou i ka luhi kaumaha o ka wā ma mua. ʻO kā mākou ʻike moʻomanaʻo kūpono ʻole i kahaki ʻia i ka ʻikepili maopopo a Iesū Kristo a alakaʻi ʻia i nā manaʻo hewa ʻole a me nā hana hewa ʻole. Ua nui ke mihi a mākou i ke kala nui ʻia no ka nui.

He ʻuhane mākou a kū i ka pono o mākou iho - ua hoʻāhewa mākou i nā poʻe Kristiano ʻē aʻe ma ke kāhea ʻana iā lākou "he aha i kapa ʻia ʻo Kristiano", "hoʻowalewale" a me "nā mea hoʻowalewale o Sātana". Hāʻawi mākou i ko mākou mau lālā i kahi ala kūpono no ka nohona Kalikiano. Ua noi mākou i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā koina luhi o ke kānāwai o ka Old Testament. Hana mākou i kahi ala kūpono loa no ka alakaʻi alakaʻi i ka hale pule.

ʻO ko mākou mau hiʻohiʻona kahiko o ka Old Testament ua hoʻoikaika i nā ʻano o ke ʻano nui a me ka haʻaheo, ma mua o ka ʻōlelo aʻo o ke Kauoha Hou e pili ana i ka pilina a me ka hui ʻana.

Ua pau mākou i ka wānana wānana a me ka wānana wanana, a laila e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ana i ka ʻeuanelio maoli o ke ola ma o Iesū Kristo. ʻO ke aʻo ʻana a me kēia mau hana i ke mihi nui loa. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa loa mākou i ke kaumaha a me ka ʻeha a hōʻeha.

Ua kuhi hewa mākou, ua hewa loa mākou. ʻAʻohe manaʻo i hoʻopunipuni i kekahi. Maʻa nui mākou i mea i manaʻoʻiʻo ai mākou e hana no ke Akua, ʻaʻole ʻike mākou i ke ala faaleagaga a mākou i hele ai. Inā makemake ʻia a i ʻole hoʻi, ʻaʻole kēia ala pili ka Baibala.

Ke nānā nei i hope, nīnau mākou iā mākou iho pehea i hewa ai mākou. Hele aku kā mākou naʻau i ka poʻe āpau i hoʻopunipuni ʻia e kā mākou mau aʻo ʻana. ʻAʻole mākou e hōʻemi i kā lākou hōʻino ʻenemi a me nā hilahila. Ke ʻimi nui nei mākou i kou ʻike a me ke kala ʻana.

Hoʻomaopopo mākou e hiki i kahi hohonu o ke kaʻawale ke paʻakikī i ka hoʻoulu hou ʻana. Ma kahi o ke kanaka, ʻo ka hoʻokuʻi ʻana he pinepine ka hana lōʻihi a paʻakikī hoʻi e pono ai ka manawa. Ke pule nei mākou no kēlā me kēia lā a ke ʻike nei mākou hiki i ka ʻoihana hoʻōla a Kristo ke pani i nā hōʻeha hohonu loa.

ʻAʻole mākou e hana ʻē e uhi i nā hewa pili mua a me ka Baibala i hala. ʻAʻole o kā mākou manaʻo e uhi wale i nā kalana. Kū alo mākou i kā mākou moʻolelo ma ke alo o nā hewa a me nā hewa a mākou e ʻike ai. E noho mau lākou i loko o kā mākou mōʻaukala ma ka hoʻomanaʻo mau ʻana iā mākou i nā pōpilikia o legalism.

Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ola i ka wā i hala. Pono mākou e ala aʻe ma luna o ko mākou hala. Pono mākou e hoʻomau. Ke ʻōlelo nei mākou me ka lunaʻōlelo ʻo Paulo: "Poina wau i ka mea ma hope, a hoʻopaʻa au i ka mea ma mua a hahai i ka pahuhopu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia, ʻo ka makana o ka hea ʻana o ke Akua ma ka lani ma o Iesū Kristo." - Phil. 3:13-14 ).

No kēia lā mākou e kū nei ma ka wāwae o ke keʻa - ʻo ka hōʻailona nui o ka hoʻokau ʻana o ke ʻoluʻolu. ʻO ka papa maʻamau kahi e hiki ai i nā poʻe malihini ke hālāwai. Ma muli o nā Karistiano, ʻike mākou āpau me nā ʻeha i hiki mai i laila a ke manaʻo nei mākou e hui pū kēia ʻike.

Makemake mākou e launa i nā mea a mākou e hōʻeha paha ma laila. ʻO ke koko wale nō o ke Keikihiki a me ka mana o ka ʻUhane e hiki ai iā mākou ke hōʻea i nā hōʻeha a hoʻokō i kā mākou pahuhopu maʻamau.

ʻAʻole kēia e hōʻike nei i kaʻu mau ʻoluʻolu koʻikoʻi a me ka naʻau aloha i nā lālā a pau, nā lālā i hala, nā hui a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe - nā mea a pau i hewa i ka hala o kā mākou lawehala a me ka hoʻopunipuni hewa loa o nā Palapala Hemolele. A ke kono aku nei au iā ʻoe e hui pū me mākou ma ka haʻi ʻana i ka ʻeuanelio maoli a Iesū a puni ka honua a puni, ke hoʻomaikaʻi mai nei ke Akua iā mākou me ka ulu hou a me ka ikaika i kāna ʻoihana.
