“Namar ia kiba U la ithuh lypa, U la thmu lypa ruh ban long kiba shidur kein bad ka dur ka jong U Khun jong U.” (Rom 8:29)
***************************************
Ka thong kaba hakhmat eh kaba kum ki Khristan ngi dei ban don, ka long ba ngin ia long shidur bad U Khrist (Christlikeness). U Jisu U long ka dur ka jong U Kpa ia kaba U pynpaw ha ngi bad la khot ia ngi ruh ba ngin bud ia kita ki dienjat kiba U Jisu U la pyni ia ngi. U Jisu U la wan ban long U nongsdang (pioneer) ia ka jingngeit ka jong ngi, u la pyni ruh ha ngi lyngba ka jingim ka jong U kumno ba ma ngi ruh ngin im. U Blei U plie ka lad ia ngi ba ngin leh kumba U Jisu U leh ha ka jingiadei ka jong ngi bad ki para briew, ka shong eh ha ngi ban jied ban leh kumba U Jisu U leh ne kren khamtam eh ha ka jingiadei ka jong ngi bad kiwei pat. Ka thong jong ngi ki Khristan hi kam dei ba ngin iohi ialade haduh katno ngi jop, ne ngi riewspah, ne ngi paw ha ka nam bad ka burom. Hynrei, ka thong ka jong ngi ka long, la ngi lah ne em ban iasyriem ia U Jisu ha ka jinglong jingim ka jong ngi.
Ka long kaba sngewtynnad ban tip kumba la thoh da U Apostol Paul (Rom 8:29), ba U Blei U la thmu lypa (predestine) ia ngi ba ngin ia long shidur bad U Khrist. Kane ka jingiasyriem bad U Khrist kan nym wan ha ngi lada ma ngi ngim lah ban pyniap troin noh shwa ia kane ka malade ka jong ngi. Lada ngi dang pynksan ialade bad ia ka malade ngin nym lah ban long ne iasyriem bad U Khrist Uba la wan sha kane ka pyrthei ban pynpaw ia ka jingsngewrit. Ban long u/ka Khristan ba shisha ka thong hi ka long ba ngin pynlong ialade u/ka ban iasyriem bad U Jisu Khrist hi, lyngba ka jinglong jingim ka jong ngi kaba manla ka sngi. U Billy Graham u ong, “Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.” (Ban long Khristan kam dei tang ka jingkylla kaba mut kaba ha kato ka khyllipmat- pynban kadei ka jingiai im kaba manla ka sngi ha kaba ngin san sha ka jingim kaba iasyriem bad U Khrist hi). Kumta ngi sngewthuh ba kum ki Khristan kaba kham donkam eh nalor kaba ngi kylla kaba mut ne pdiang ia U Trai, kadei ruh ka jingiai pynmlien ka jong ngi kaba manla ka sngi ban im ka jingim kaba kum U Khrist hi.
Jingduwai: - “Iarap ia nga Ah Trai! Ba ka jingim ka jong nga kan tyngshain da ka jingshai ka jong Me” - Amen
