ʻO Iesu wale nō ke kumua o ke aloha wale nō, hauʻoli, a me ka maluhia
Ma mua iki o kona make ʻana, ua haʻi ʻo Iesū i kāna poʻe haumāna - “ʻO wau nō ke kumu waina maoli, a ʻo koʻu Makua ka māla waina. ʻO nā lālā i loko oʻu e hua ʻole ana i ka hua, ʻo ia kāna e ʻānai; a ʻo nā lālā e hoʻohua i kāna hua, kālua ʻo ia ia, i hoʻohua aʻe i ka hua. Ua maʻemaʻe ʻoe ma mua o ka ʻōlelo aʻu i ʻōlelo aku ai iā ʻoe. E noho i loko oʻu, a ʻo wau i loko o ʻoukou. ʻAʻole hiki i ka lālā ke hoʻohua i kona hua iho, ke pili ʻole ma ke kumu waina, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe, ke pili ʻole ʻoe iaʻu. (ʻO John 15: 1-4) ʻIke mākou i ka hua o ka ʻUhane mai ka mea a Paulo i aʻo aku ai i Galatia. "Akā ka hua o ka ʻUhane, ke aloha, ka hauʻoli, ka maluhia, ka hoʻomanawanui, ka maikaʻi, ka maikaʻi, kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ka ʻoluʻolu, ka naʻau." (Gal. 5:22-23)
He aha haole kupaianaha kēia i kā Iesu hea ʻana i kāna mau haumāna! Ka mea a ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole he hoʻomana ʻole, akā he pilina a me ke Akua. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Iesū i kāna poʻe haumāna e pule ʻo ia i ka Makua, a e hāʻawi ka Makua iā lākou i kahi kōkua e mau pū ana me lākou a mau loa. Na ke kōkua, ka ʻUhane Hemolele e noho mau iā lākou i nā wā a pau (ʻO John 14: 16-17). Noho pū ke Akua i loko o ka puʻuwai o ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo, e hana ana i kēlā me kēia pā hale o kāna ʻUhane Hemolele. "A ʻaʻole anei ʻoe i ʻike ʻo kou kino he luakini ia o ka ʻUhane Hemolele i loko ou, nā mea na ke Akua mai, ʻaʻole ʻoe nou? No ka mea, ua kūʻai ʻia ʻoukou i ke kumu kūʻai; no laila e hoʻonani aku ai i ke Akua i kou kino a i kou ʻuhane, na ke Akua ia. (1 Kor. 6: 19-20)
Ma ke ʻano he poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo, inā ʻaʻole mākou e "noho" iā Iesū Kristo, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke lawe i ka hua maoli o kona ʻUhane. Hiki paha iā mākou ke "hana" me ka maluhia, ʻoluʻolu, aloha, maikaʻi, a akahai paha. Eia naʻe, hōʻike pinepine ʻia nā hua i hana ʻia e like me ka mea maoli. ʻO ka ʻUhane o ke Akua wale nō ka mea hiki ke hoʻohua i ka hua maoli. Loaʻa pinepine nā hua ponoʻī i ka hana o ka ʻiʻo - "… Ka moekolohe, ka hoʻokamakama, ka haumia, ka moekolohe, ka hoʻomana kiʻi, ka hoʻokalakupua, ka inaina, ka hakakā, ka lili, ka huhū o ka inaina, nā manaʻo kūʻē, nā kūʻē, nā manaʻo kūʻē, ka lili, ka pepehi kanaka, ka ʻona, nā leʻaleʻa ..." (Gal. 5:19-21)
Ua kākau ʻo CI Scofield e pili ana i ka noho mau ʻana i loko o Kristo - "To stay in Christ is, on the one hand, to have not know sin unjudged and unconfessed, no interest into which He was not gidala, no life which He cannot share. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, lawe ka 'noho' i nā kaumaha a pau iā ia, a huki i ka naʻauao, ke ola, a me ka ikaika mai iā ia ʻAʻole ia he ʻike mau i kēia mau mea, a nona, akā ʻaʻohe mea i ʻae ʻia i ke ola i hoʻokaʻawale iā ia. ʻO kēlā pilina nani a me ko mākou launa pū ʻana me Iesū, ua hoʻomālamalama hou ʻia e ka lunaʻōlelo John i kāna wā i kākau ai - "A ka mea a makou e ike ai, ai lohe ai makou, ke hai aku nei makou ia oe, i launa pu ai hoi makou me makou; ao ko makou aloha pu ana me ka Makua a me kana Keiki o Iesu Kristo. A ʻo kēia mau mea mākou e kākau nei iā ʻoe, i piha ai kou ʻoliʻoli. O kēia ka leo a mākou i lohe ai mai iā ia a e haʻi aku hoʻi iā ʻoe, he mālamalama ke Akua ʻaʻole iā ia he pouli. Inā mākou e ʻōlelo he launa pū me ia, a e hele nei i ka pouli, ke hoʻopunipuni nei mākou a ʻaʻole hoʻi e hana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. Akā, inā e hele mākou i ke kukui e like me ia i loko o ka mālamalama, ke hui pū nei mākou me kekahi, a ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe ke koko o Iesū Kristo kāna keiki mai nā hewa a pau. Inā mākou e ʻōlelo ʻole ʻaʻohe hewa, e hoʻopunipuni aku nei mākou iā mākou iho, a ʻaʻole ʻo ka pono i loko o mākou. Ina e hai aku i ko kakou mau hewa, he oiaio a he pono oia e kala mai i ko kakou mau hewa, a e hoomaemae mai ia kakou mai na mea pono ole a pau. Inā kākou e ʻōlelo ʻaʻole i hana hewa, e hoʻokau hewa kākou iā ia, ʻaʻole hewa kāna ʻōlelo. " (1 Ioane 1: 3-10)
