He aha ke aloha o ke Akua no ka poʻe Kristiano
ʻO ke aloha ke aloha pono ʻole ʻia a me ke aloha o ke Akua
ʻO Grace, ka huaʻōlelo Helene charis i loko o ke Kauoha Hou, ʻo ia ka lokomaikaʻi ʻole ʻia o ke Akua. ʻAʻole mākou i hana i kekahi mea, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana i loaʻa kēia ʻoluʻolu. He makana ia na ke Akua. ʻO ke aloha kahi kōkua mai ke akua i hāʻawi ʻia i nā kānaka no kā lākou hana hou ʻana (hānau hou) a hoʻāno paha; he mana mai ke Akua mai; kahi kūlana hoʻāno i ʻoluʻolu ʻia e ke aloha akua.
Hāʻawi ʻo Webster's New World College Dictionary i kēia wehewehe theological o ka lokomaikaʻi: “Ke aloha a me ke aloha a ke Akua no nā kānaka; hana a ke akua e hana ana i loko o ke kanaka e hoʻomaʻemaʻe, ikaika ikaika; ua alakaʻi ʻia ke kūlana o ke kanaka i ko ke Akua ʻoluʻolu ma o kēia mana; kahi mana kūikawā, makana a kōkua paha i hāʻawi ʻia i ke kanaka e ke Akua.
Ka lokomaikaʻi a me ke aloha o ke Akua
I ka hoʻomana Kalikiano, huikau pinepine ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua a me ko ke Akua lokomaikaʻi. ʻOiai he mau ʻano like ko lākou o kāna punahele a me kāna aloha, he ʻano maopopo ko lākou. Ke ʻike mākou i ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua, loaʻa iā mākou ka lokomaikaʻi ʻaʻole pono iā mākou. Ke ʻike mākou i ke aloha o ke Akua, ua hoʻopaʻi ʻia mākou i ka hoʻopaʻi i kūpono ʻole iā mākou.
Lokomaikaʻi kupaianaha
Kupaianaha maoli ko ke Akua lokomaikaʻi. ʻAʻole wale ia e hoʻolako ai i ko mākou ola, akā hiki iā mākou ke ola i kahi ola nui iā Iesū Kristo.
2 Kolinito 9: 8
A e hiki nō i ke Akua ke hoʻonui iā ʻoe i loko o nā lokomaikaʻi āpau, i lawa ai nā mea a pau i nā mea a pau i nā manawa a pau, i nui ai kāu i nā hana maikaʻi a pau. (ESV)
Loaʻa ke aloha o ke Akua iā mākou i nā manawa āpau, no nā pilikia a me nā hemahema a mākou e alo ai. Hoʻokuʻu ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua iā mākou mai ka luhi o ka hewa, ka hewa a me ka hilahila. ʻAe ka lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua iā mākou e alualu i nā hana maikaʻi. ʻAe ke lokomaikaʻi o ke Akua iā mākou e lilo i mea a ke Akua e makemake ai. Kupaianaha maoli ko ke Akua lokomaikaʻi.
