10 versículos sobre o que a Bíblia diz sobre o céu
1. João 14:2
Where my Father is in heaven there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go there to prepare a place for you.
Jesus apresenta o céu como lar preparado por Ele. Isso revela acolhimento, cuidado e promessa pessoal aos que pertencem a Cristo.
2. Filipenses 3:20
But remember that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return from there.
O cristão vive neste mundo, mas sua identidade final está no Reino de Deus. O céu redefine prioridades e valores presentes.
3. Apocalipse 21:4
As a result, he will cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. None of them will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things that make us sad will have disappeared."
Esse versículo mostra o céu como realidade sem sofrimento. A esperança eterna inclui restauração completa.
4. Mateus 6:20
Instead, do deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like storing treasures in heaven [MET]. Nothing perishes in heaven. In heaven no termites ruin things, nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
Jesus ensina que existe valor eterno superior aos bens terrenos. O céu lembra que nem tudo se resume ao agora.
5. Colossenses 3:1-2
Be constantly wanting what is associated with heaven.
You now are alive spiritually, and it is as though you were given new life {God caused you to become alive} when he caused Christ to become alive again. So be constantly wanting what is associated with heaven [MTY], where Christ is. There God has given him supreme authority and the highest honor. Be constantly wanting the blessings that God has prepared for you in heaven [MTY]. Do not be constantly wanting to do the evil deeds that people on earth do [MTY],
Pensar no céu não significa fugir da realidade, mas viver com perspectiva espiritual e eterna.
6. 1 Pedro 1:4
He has enabled us to expect to receive an absolutely imperishable/indestructible [TRI] inheritance that has been {that God has} preserved in heaven for us.
A herança celestial é segura e incorruptível. Diferente das riquezas terrenas, ela não se desgasta.
7. Hebreus 12:22-23
Instead, it is as though you have come to the presence of God in heaven [MET]. That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together. You have joined all the believers who have privileges like firstborn sons, whose names God has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously before they died, and who now have been made perfect in heaven.
O céu é descrito como cidade viva e santa, lugar de comunhão com Deus e Seu povo.
8. 2 Coríntios 5:1
God will give all of us new heavenly bodies, and he will reward us according to what we did while we were living in our earthly bodies.
We know that these bodies we live in here in this world are like [MET] tents. They are like temporary living/dwelling places. So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies. We know that if we are killed {if someone kills us}, God will give us permanent living places. Those permanent living places [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They will be new bodies in which we will live forever in heaven.
Paulo reforça que a esperança cristã vai além desta vida. Existe permanência onde aqui há fragilidade.
9. Apocalipse 22:3-4
There will never be anyone or anything there that God will be under God’s curse. The throne of God and the one who is like a lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there. They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be written {he will write his name} on their foreheads.
O centro do céu não são ruas ou imagens materiais, mas a presença direta de Deus.
10. Romanos 8:18
Since everything that God has created is eagerly awaiting the time when he will reveal who are his true children, I consider that what we suffer now is not worth paying attention to.
I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth paying attention to, because the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that God will reveal} to us is so great.
A esperança do céu dá sentido à perseverança. O sofrimento presente não é a palavra final.
