<strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> <strong>mga</strong> anak. Ang paggamit niining gahum <strong>sa</strong> paglalang<br />
gimando <strong>sa</strong> unang s<strong>ug</strong>o <strong>sa</strong> “pag<strong>sa</strong>nay <strong>ug</strong> pagdaghan”<br />
(Genesis 1:28). Ang laing importante nga s<strong>ug</strong>o nagdumili<br />
<strong>sa</strong> <strong>sa</strong>yop nga paggamit niini: “Dili ka manapaw” (Exodo<br />
<strong>20</strong>:<strong>14</strong>), <strong>ug</strong> “kamo managlikay <strong>sa</strong> pakighilawas” (1 Mga Taga-Te<strong>sa</strong>l<strong>on</strong>ica<br />
4:3). Ang balaod <strong>sa</strong> kaputli am<strong>on</strong>g gihatagan<br />
og gib<strong>ug</strong>-at<strong>on</strong> pinaagi <strong>sa</strong> am<strong>on</strong>g pag<strong>sa</strong>but <strong>sa</strong> katuyoan <strong>sa</strong><br />
gahum <strong>sa</strong> paglalang ar<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong> pagtuman <strong>sa</strong> plano <strong>sa</strong> Dios.<br />
Adunay daghang politikal, legal, <strong>ug</strong> sosyal nga <strong>mga</strong><br />
pagpam<strong>ug</strong>os alang <strong>sa</strong> kau<strong>sa</strong>ban nga nakapalibog <strong>sa</strong><br />
pagkalalaki o pagkababaye [gender], nakapaubos <strong>sa</strong><br />
kaimportante <strong>sa</strong> kaminyo<strong>on</strong> o nakapau<strong>sa</strong>b <strong>sa</strong> kahul<strong>ug</strong>an<br />
niini, o nakapalib<strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> <strong>mga</strong> kalainan tali <strong>sa</strong> lalaki <strong>ug</strong><br />
babaye nga gikinahanglan <strong>sa</strong> pagtuman <strong>sa</strong> dak<strong>on</strong>g plano<br />
<strong>sa</strong> kalipay <strong>sa</strong> Dios. Ang am<strong>on</strong>g mahangtur<strong>on</strong>g panglantaw<br />
nakapahimutang kanamo nga supak <strong>sa</strong> ing<strong>on</strong> nga<br />
<strong>mga</strong> kau<strong>sa</strong>ban.<br />
Sa katapu<strong>sa</strong>n, ang am<strong>on</strong>g pag<strong>sa</strong>but <strong>sa</strong> katuyoan <strong>sa</strong><br />
mortal nga kinabuhi naglakip og pipila ka walay <strong>sa</strong>ma<br />
nga doktrina kabahin <strong>sa</strong> un<strong>sa</strong> ang mosunod <strong>sa</strong> mortalidad.<br />
Sama <strong>sa</strong> ubang <strong>mga</strong> Kristiyano, kami nagtuo nga k<strong>on</strong> kita<br />
mobiya niini nga kinabuhi, kita moadto <strong>sa</strong> langit (paraiso)<br />
o <strong>sa</strong> impyerno. Apan alang kanamo kining duha ka bahin<br />
<strong>sa</strong> pagtunga <strong>sa</strong> matarung <strong>ug</strong> dautan temporaryo lamang<br />
<strong>sa</strong>mtang ang <strong>mga</strong> espiritu <strong>sa</strong> patay nagpaabut <strong>sa</strong> ilang<br />
pagkabanhaw <strong>ug</strong> Katapu<strong>sa</strong>ng Paghukom (tan-awa <strong>sa</strong> Alma<br />
40:11–<strong>14</strong>). Ang <strong>mga</strong> kapaingnan nga mosunod <strong>sa</strong> Katapu<strong>sa</strong>ng<br />
Paghukom mas nagkalain-lain, <strong>ug</strong> kini nagbar<strong>ug</strong> isip<br />
ebidensya <strong>sa</strong> kadako <strong>sa</strong> g<strong>ug</strong>ma <strong>sa</strong> Dios alang <strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> <strong>mga</strong><br />
anak—ang tanan kanila.<br />
Ang g<strong>ug</strong>ma <strong>sa</strong> Dios dako kaayo nga Siya mis<strong>ug</strong>o <strong>sa</strong><br />
<strong>Iyang</strong> <strong>mga</strong> anak <strong>sa</strong> pagsunod <strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> <strong>mga</strong> s<strong>ug</strong>o tungod<br />
kay pinaagi lamang nianang pagkamasulund<strong>on</strong><br />
sila molambo paing<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong> mahangtur<strong>on</strong>g padulngan nga<br />
Siya nagtinguha alang kanila. Mao nga, <strong>sa</strong> Katapu<strong>sa</strong>ng<br />
Paghukom kitang tanan ibutang ngadto <strong>sa</strong> gingharian<br />
<strong>sa</strong> himaya nga angay lang <strong>sa</strong> at<strong>on</strong>g pagkamasulund<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> balaod. Sa iyang ikaduhang sulat ngadto <strong>sa</strong><br />
<strong>mga</strong> Taga-Corinto, si Apostol Pablo mi<strong>sa</strong>y<strong>sa</strong>y <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka<br />
panan-aw<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka tawo nga “gi<strong>sa</strong>kgaw ngadto <strong>sa</strong><br />
ikatul<strong>on</strong>g langit” (2 Mga Taga-Corinto <strong>12</strong>:2). Naghisgut<br />
kabahin <strong>sa</strong> pagkabanhaw <strong>sa</strong> patay, siya mihulagway <strong>sa</strong><br />
“<strong>mga</strong> lawas” uban <strong>sa</strong> lain-laing <strong>mga</strong> himaya, <strong>sa</strong>ma <strong>sa</strong><br />
<strong>mga</strong> himaya <strong>sa</strong> adlaw, bulan, <strong>ug</strong> <strong>mga</strong> bito<strong>on</strong>. Siya mipa<strong>sa</strong>but<br />
<strong>sa</strong> unang duha niini nga “<strong>mga</strong> lawas nga langitn<strong>on</strong>,<br />
<strong>ug</strong> <strong>mga</strong> lawas nga yutan-<strong>on</strong>” (tan-awa <strong>sa</strong> 1 Mga<br />
Taga-Corinto 15:40–42). Alang kanamo, ang kinabuhing<br />
day<strong>on</strong> diha <strong>sa</strong> celestial, ang kinatas-an, nga himaya dili<br />
u<strong>sa</strong> ka kahibulungan nga panaghiu<strong>sa</strong> uban <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka dili<br />
ma<strong>sa</strong>btan nga dios nga espiritu. Apan, ang kinabuhing<br />
day<strong>on</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka kinabuhi <strong>sa</strong> pamilya uban <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka mahig<strong>ug</strong>ma<strong>on</strong>g<br />
Amahan <strong>sa</strong> Langit <strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> at<strong>on</strong>g <strong>mga</strong> katigulangan<br />
<strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> at<strong>on</strong>g <strong>mga</strong> kaliwat.<br />
Ang teyolohiya <strong>sa</strong> gipahiuli nga ebanghelyo ni<br />
Jesukristo ma<strong>sa</strong>btan, alang <strong>sa</strong> tanan, may gahum, <strong>ug</strong> tinuod.<br />
Human <strong>sa</strong> gikinahanglan nga kasinatian <strong>sa</strong> mortal<br />
nga kinabuhi, ang tanang anak nga <strong>mga</strong> lalaki <strong>ug</strong> <strong>mga</strong><br />
babaye <strong>sa</strong> Dios <strong>sa</strong> katapu<strong>sa</strong>n mabanhaw <strong>ug</strong> moadto <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong><br />
ka gingharian <strong>sa</strong> himaya nga mas nindot kay<strong>sa</strong> mahunahuna<br />
ni bi<strong>sa</strong>n kin<strong>sa</strong> nga mortal. Gawas <strong>sa</strong> pipila lamang,<br />
bi<strong>sa</strong>n ang pinakadautan <strong>sa</strong> katapu<strong>sa</strong>n moadto <strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka talag<strong>sa</strong><strong>on</strong>—hino<strong>on</strong><br />
mas ubos—gingharian <strong>sa</strong> himaya. Kining<br />
tanan mahitabo tungod <strong>sa</strong> dak<strong>on</strong>g g<strong>ug</strong>ma <strong>sa</strong> Dios alang<br />
<strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> <strong>mga</strong> anak, <strong>ug</strong> kining tanan mahim<strong>on</strong>g posible<br />
tungod <strong>sa</strong> Pag-ula <strong>ug</strong> Pagkabanhaw ni Jesukristo, “kin<strong>sa</strong><br />
naghimaya <strong>sa</strong> Amahan, <strong>ug</strong> nagtubos <strong>sa</strong> tanan nga <strong>mga</strong><br />
binuhat <strong>sa</strong> iyang <strong>mga</strong> kamot” (D&P 76:43).<br />
3. Mga Tinubdan <strong>sa</strong> Kamatuoran<br />
Ang <strong>mga</strong> Santos <strong>sa</strong> Ulahing <strong>mga</strong> Adlaw adunay dak<strong>on</strong>g<br />
interes <strong>sa</strong> pagbat<strong>on</strong> og kahibalo. Si Brigham Young (1801–<br />
77) maayo kaay<strong>on</strong>g misulti niini: “Ang [am<strong>on</strong>g] relihiy<strong>on</strong><br />
. . . mag-aghat [kanamo] <strong>sa</strong> pagsiksik nga mak<strong>ug</strong>ih<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong><br />
kahibalo. Walay laing katawhan nga nagpuyo nga labaw<br />
kaayo ang tinguha nga makakita, makadungog, makakat-<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>ug</strong> maka<strong>sa</strong>but <strong>sa</strong> kamatuoran.” 6<br />
Sa lain nga okasy<strong>on</strong> siya mipa<strong>sa</strong>but nga kami moawhag<br />
<strong>sa</strong> am<strong>on</strong>g <strong>mga</strong> miyembro “<strong>sa</strong> pagpalambo <strong>sa</strong> [ilang] kahibalo<br />
. . . <strong>sa</strong> matag bahin <strong>sa</strong> [pagkat-<strong>on</strong>], kay ang tanang<br />
kaalam, <strong>ug</strong> tanang <strong>mga</strong> art <strong>ug</strong> siyensya <strong>sa</strong> kalibutan nagagikan<br />
<strong>sa</strong> Dios, <strong>ug</strong> gihimo alang <strong>sa</strong> kaayohan <strong>sa</strong> iyang <strong>mga</strong><br />
katawhan.” 7<br />
Kami nagtinguha <strong>sa</strong> kahibalo, <strong>ug</strong> amo kining gibuhat<br />
<strong>sa</strong> u<strong>sa</strong> ka espesyal nga paagi tungod kay kami nagtuo<br />
nga adunay duha ka dimensi<strong>on</strong> ang kahibalo: materyal<br />
<strong>ug</strong> espiritwal. Kami nagtinguha og kahibalo <strong>sa</strong> materyal<br />
nga dimensi<strong>on</strong> pinaagi <strong>sa</strong> siyentipik<strong>on</strong>g pagpangutana <strong>ug</strong><br />
<strong>sa</strong> espiritwal nga dimensi<strong>on</strong> pinaagi <strong>sa</strong> pagpadayag. Ang<br />
pagpadayag mao ang pagpakigsulti <strong>sa</strong> Dios ngadto <strong>sa</strong><br />
tawo—ngadto <strong>sa</strong> <strong>mga</strong> propeta <strong>ug</strong> kanat<strong>on</strong>g tanan k<strong>on</strong> kita<br />
magtinguha niini.<br />
Ang pagpadayag klaro nga mao ang u<strong>sa</strong> <strong>sa</strong> walay<br />
kapareha nga karakter <strong>sa</strong> am<strong>on</strong>g tinuohan. Si Propeta<br />
Joseph Smith nadirektahan <strong>ug</strong> nalig-<strong>on</strong> pinaagi <strong>sa</strong> nagpaday<strong>on</strong>g<br />
pagdawat og pagpadayag <strong>sa</strong> iyang tibuok kinabuhi.<br />
Ang hilabihan nga kadaghan <strong>sa</strong> iyang namantala<br />
nga <strong>mga</strong> pagpadayag, lakip na <strong>sa</strong> Ba<strong>sa</strong>h<strong>on</strong> ni Morm<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> Doktrina <strong>ug</strong> <strong>mga</strong> Pakig<strong>sa</strong>ad, makapaday<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong> iyang<br />
walay <strong>sa</strong>ma nga calling isip Propeta niining katapu<strong>sa</strong>ng<br />
dispen<strong>sa</strong>sy<strong>on</strong> <strong>sa</strong> panah<strong>on</strong>. Niining propetikanh<strong>on</strong> nga<br />
pagpadayag—ngadto kang Joseph Smith <strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> iyang<br />
<strong>mga</strong> manununod isip <strong>mga</strong> Presidente <strong>sa</strong> Simbahan—ang<br />
Dios nagpadayag <strong>sa</strong> kamatuoran <strong>ug</strong> <strong>mga</strong> s<strong>ug</strong>o ngadto<br />
<strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong> propeta nga <strong>mga</strong> lider alang <strong>sa</strong> paglamdag <strong>sa</strong><br />
<strong>Iyang</strong> katawhan <strong>ug</strong> <strong>sa</strong> pagdumala <strong>ug</strong> pagdirekta <strong>sa</strong> <strong>Iyang</strong><br />
Simbahan.<br />
