A fé vem pelo ouvir
A fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela Palavra de Cristo. Quando a Palavra é proclamada, a fé nasce nos corações. Ouvir a Deus é o primeiro passo para crer e seguir.
A fé vem pelo ouvir
A fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela Palavra de Cristo. Quem ouve a Palavra crê e obtém a salvação eterna.
There’s no difference between Jew and Greek—for the same Lord is Lord of everyone, and he gives generously to everyone who asks him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how can people call on someone they don’t trust? How can they trust someone they haven’t heard about? How can they hear unless they’re told? How can they go out and tell others unless they’re sent? Just as Scripture says, "Those who come bringing the good news are truly welcome!" But not everyone has accepted the good news. As Isaiah asks: "Lord, who trusted in the news they heard from us?" Trusting in God comes from hearing—hearing the message of Christ.
So tell me—did you receive the Spirit by keeping the law, or by placing your trust in what you heard?
In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit’s promise, which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he’s kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won’t be condemned, but have gone from death to life.
I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it’s here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me attracts them, and I will raise them up at the last day. As is written in Scripture by the prophets, ‘Everyone will be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to and learns from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen God, except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. I tell you the truth: anyone who trusts in him has eternal life.
Ouvir e obedecer
Felizes os que ouvem a Palavra de Deus e a praticam. Quem tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz.
But Jesus said, "Even more blessed are those who hear God’s word, and follow what it says."
If you have ears to hear, listen to what I’m saying!
Then he told them, "Go to the whole world, and announce the good news to everyone.
The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in them: ‘Even though you hear, you won’t understand, and even though you see, you won’t perceive. They have a hard-hearted attitude, they don’t want to listen, and they’ve closed their eyes. If they didn’t they might be able to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand in their minds. Then they could return to me and I would heal them.’
Your eyes are blessed, for they see. Your ears are blessed too, for they hear.
He called the crowd over and told them, "Listen, and understand this:
Come here to me, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I’m going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed to David.
He replied, "Go and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but never understanding. Keep on seeing, but never comprehending.’ Make the minds of this people insensitive; make their ears deaf and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and repent and be healed."
Pray for us too that God may open a door of opportunity to spread the message, to tell about the revealed mystery of Christ—which is the reason I’m here in prison.
