 III.      Kan inkh^wm loh chhan.

1)      Pathian biak inkh^wm awmzia/ hlutna kan hre t^wk lo.  Pathian biakna chu Isua Krista kaltl^nga Pathian hmangaihna leh khawngaihna puanchhahna kan dawn av^nga, hlim leh l^wm taka kan chh^n l>tna hi a ni[2]. Keimahni hl^wkna leh hlimna t<r a ni lo va, Pathian ropuina puanchhuahna t<r, amah fak leh chawimawina hun, Pathian hl^wkna[3] leh l^wmna thlenna t<r a ni.

William Temple-a chuan, “Pathian biak chu kan nihna pumhl<m Ama hn>na t<kluha, A thianghlimnain kan chhia leh \ha hriatna a tih nuna, A thutak kan thinlung a ch^wm len a, a Duhawmna-in kan ngaihtuahna a tih thianghlim a, A hmangaihna lama kan thinlung hawng a, A thil tum at^na kan duhna kan hlan hi a ni e,”[4] a ti.

John Calvin-a chuan, “Krista taksa leh Pathian mite inp^wlhona p^wn lamah chuan Pathian n>na inrem lehna beiseina r>ng a awm lo ve” [5]a ti hial a. Ringtute inp^wlhonaah hian kan Lalpa a tel tlat av^ngin a hlu a, kan chak lohna lai te leh tlin lohnaah infuih tawnin kan intichak a, kan in\awng\aipui bawk a, a hlu >m >m a ni. T.T. 2:46-ah chuan, ‘…ni tin rilru hmun khatin Pathian biak inah chuan \hahnemngai takin an awm \h$n..’ tih kan hmu a, ringtute hi awm kh^wm a, inp^wlho \h$n t<r kan ni.

Pathian Biak Inkh^wmin Bible chhiar te, \awng\ai te, hla sak te, thusawi te hi kan hre lo emaw, kan rilru a khawih lo emaw pawh ni sela, kan hlawhchham a ni lo, kan va kal phawt kha Pathian lama kan tih t<r kan va ti a ni. Tih t<r ti chu hlawhchham a ni thei lo tih kan hriat pawh a ngai[6] a ni.

2)     Zirna leh hnathawhna av^ngin. Kohhrana tel, zirlai kan nih chuan taim^k a ngai lehzual a, tuarchhel a ngai a. K|P/ Kohhrana kan tel av^nga harsatna kan nei a nih chuan a mawh kan phur a, hruaitute dem lovin mahni inenfiah kan ngai z^wk. Engemaw rokhawlhna leh harsatna b$k chu a awm thei, zirlai leh hnathawka buai inti takte pawh hi kan duhna kawngah chuan kan hman duh fu. Mahni t^n ngeia \ha t<rah pawh kan chin \halo sim/ nghei harsa ti tlat \h$n kan nih av^ngin, thil \ha, kan tihm^kmawh hi kan peih loh san fo mai. Pathian hmangaihna leh khawngaihna hi hrechiang ila chuan, l^wmthu sawi t<ra p>n chhuah hi kan harsat hauh lovang.

3)     Rawngb^wltute av^ng. Thusawitu azira inkh^wm kan buk te, inkh^wm kan tui loh awm \h$nte hi Pathian biak inkh^wm awmzia kan pawh t^wk loh av^ng a ang khawp mai. Inkh^wm hl^wk tak, hlimawm tak kan beisei \h$n; Pathian bia-a kal kan ni tih kan inhriatchian a pawimawh. A betu te l^wmna leh hlimna t<r kan dah pawimawh hmasak chuan kan Pathian biakin awmzia a nei lovang; Pathianin ropuina a chan a, mihring a tl^wm hian lawmna dik leh tluantling a lo thleng \h$n. Rawngb^wltu pawhin Pathian ropui n^n, kohhranho sawt tl^n n^n inbuatsaihna \ha tak nei chungin rawng a b^wl t<r a ni ang.

Evangelical Cell-a kan hruaitute \awngkam ang deuhin, Pathian hm^ah chhuanlam tling kan nei anih loh chuan inkh^wm hi \hulh loh a \ha. Inkh^wm hi ringtute mawhphurhna a ni tlat a, kan inkh^wm hian a hlutna leh a \hatzia chu kan hre thar z>l a ni.

IV.       Pathian biak inkh^wm kan ngaihpawimawh theih d^n t<r.

1)      Pathian hmangaihna av^ngin. Pathianin min hmangaihna leh min khawgaihzia, min enkawlna leh min kaihhruaina te kan hriatchian phawt chuan amah hnaiha, ama biaa inkh^wm hi tihm^kmawh a ni. Thlarau Thianghlim az^ra l^wmna leh hlimna kan chan hian, Pathian chibai b<k duhna leh ch^kna nasa tak kan nei \h$n. Kan ngaihz^wng, kan nupui, kan hmangaih t^kte chu eng thil pawh ti ila, khawiah pawh kal ila kan ngaihtuahin kan hre reng \h$n a. Kan kianga an awm chuan kan hlim a, kan thl^ a muang \h$n. Pathianin min hmangaih >m av^ngin a hnaiha kana wm hian a hlim \h$n:- Sam 122:1-ah chuan “LALPA inah i kal ang u’’ ka hn>na an tih lai kh^n ka l^wm a…’ tih kan hmu a ni. A hmangaihna kan chh^n letna t<r leh amah biakna min neih t$r theitu chu Pathian hmangaih hi a ni.

2)     Mihring awm chhan a ni tih hriat. The Westminster Shorter Catechism chuan, ‘Mihring awm chhan ber chu Pathian chawimawi leh kumkhuaa Amah p^wl a ni,’ [7]a ti. Mimal emaw, Kohhran inkh^wma a huho ang hian emaw-a Pathian kan p^wl ngai loh chuan min siam chhan angin kan awm lo tihna a ni a, Pathian lakah kan rinawm lo (hmangaiha min enkawltu anih av^ngin) tihna a ni bawk.

3)     Thlarau tuihna/ chakna hn^r a ni. Mi mal leh a huhova inkh^wma Pathian p^wlna hian thlrauvah chakna thar min pe ve ve a. Bailey chuan, ‘Z^na tui taka kan muhial hian tkasa a tichak thar angin thlarau leh tih tak zeta Pathian biakna hian ringtu nunah chak tharna a thlen \h$n,’[8] a lo a. Pathian duhzawng kan hriat z>lna at^n leh ama nun kan \awmpuina kawngah nasa takin min \anpui bawk.

V.        Inkh^wmna hrang hrang kan neihte.

1)      Pathianni zing, chh<n leh z^n. Sabbath (ni sarihna-Inrinni) hi serh a \<l thu Bible-ah kan hmu a. Mahse, kan Kohhran chuan chawlhk^r in\anna Pathianni hi kan serh thung, kan Lalpa thihna (sual) hneha a thawhlehna ni a nih av^ng a ni. Deut. 5:15-ah ‘Nang pawh Aigupta ramah kh^n b^wih i ni tawh a, LALPA i Pathianin chuta ta chu kut chak tak leh b^n phara a hruai chhuah che i ni tih hre reng rawh; chuv^ng chuan a ni, LALPA i Pathianin chawlhn$ serh t<r thu a p>k che ni’ tih kan hmu a. Sual setana min bawih behna ata chu Kristan chhandamna hna thawkin krawsah a b^n a phar a, thihna hnehin a thawhleh av^nga NUNNA kan channa ni a nih av^ngin Pathianni hi a ropui hl> a ni. Kohhranho Thunun D^nte Bung II Kristian Nun- Sakhaw lam 2-naah chuan, ‘Anmahni leh an enkawlten Pathianni an serh t<r a ni. Khawv>l hna tih l^wk theih leh ni danga tih theih- lei leh zawrh te, thu pawimawh dang sawi te tih loh t<r a ni. Hahchawlh n^n hmanga mu bo mai lovin leh mahni ch^kkhai lam n^na hmang lovin, Pathian biak n^n leh A thu ngaihthl^k n^n leh an thlaraut^na s^wt t<r apiang tih n^n an hmang t<r a ni’ (Exo.20:8-11; Isa.58:13,14- ‘…LALPA ni thianghlim chu zahawm i tiha, mahni kawng zawh lova, mahni nawmsak b^wl lova, mahni thu sawi lova i chawimawi chuan, LALPA chungah chuan i l^wm ang..’).

2)     Nilai z^n. Kohhran inkh^wm a ni a, t<n hma chuan D^n zawhkimte chauh inkh^wm t<ra ngaih a ni \h$n[9]. Kohhran d^n lama thil pawimawh b$k- lawm luh te, pawi khawih thunun leh phuar te, phuar lai phelh l^k luh te tih \hin a ni a, thupui zir t<r buatsaih zir a ni \h$n. Kuminah Thianghlimna chungch^ng kan zir m>k a ni.

3)     Inrinni z^n. |awng\ai inkh^wm a ni a, sermon sawi n^n leh hla zir n^n te, rilru sawi n^n te hman a ni \h$n.

4)         Sakramen inkh^wm. Sakramen pahnih- Baptisma leh Lalpa Zanriah Sakramen kan nei a, a pahnihna neih ch^ng kan nei a, a mala neih ch^ng a awm bawk. Baptisma (nausen) hi, a nu leh a pate Kohhran chh<nga mi an nih av^ngin, Pathian mite z$nga mi a nihna ent$rna a ni a, chuv^ngin  Kohhranhoten (abikin d^n zawhkim zawng zawngten) kan hriatpui t<r a ni. Krista ringtu chhinchhiahna a ni a, Isua pawhin a ngai pawiawh hl> a ni (Mat. 28:19). Lalpa Zanriah Sacramen hi a pawimawh b$k lehzual a, a chhan chu Krista thisen leh taksa kan \^wmpuina, A nunna chu kan nunna a ni tih lant$rna anih b^kah kan t^na a inp>kna min hriatchhuaht$r \h$n a, Pathian ramah Ama hovin kan la k$l za d^wn a ni tih beiseina min chh>m alh sak \hin av^ngin kan ngai pawimawh hl> t<r a ni.

5)     Inneih inkh^wm. Kohhran inkh^wm pawimawh tak a ni a, Kohhranhote mithmuhah nupa tuak tharte an inpek tawnna leh nemnghehna, chhinchhiahna inkh^wm a nih av^ngin a hl< a, kohhranten kan ngaipawimawh t<r a ni.
