Admiração: o que significa e como gera temor a Deus
O que significa a admiração na Bíblia
Na Bíblia, a verdadeira admiração por Deus é descrita como temor reverente: o respeito profundo diante da Sua santidade e soberania, e não um pavor que paralisa ou afasta. Reconhecer a grandeza de Deus coloca o ser humano no seu devido lugar e constitui o ponto de partida para qualquer sabedoria real.
Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.(Proverbs 1:7)
Honoring the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; knowledge of the Holy One brings insight.(Proverbs 9:10)
The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!(Psalms 111:10)
Respect for the Lord teaches wisdom; humility goes before honor.(Proverbs 15:33)
Como a reverência a Deus transforma a conduta
A admiração bíblica não fica restrita ao sentimento: ela molda decisões práticas no dia a dia. Quem reverencia a Deus aprende a rejeitar o erro, vive com sobriedade e experimenta contentamento que o acúmulo material não proporciona.
Honoring the Lord means hating evil. So I hate pride and arrogance, wicked behavior and telling lies.(Proverbs 8:13)
Don’t think you’re wise—respect God and avoid evil. Then you will be healed and made strong.(Proverbs 3:7,8)
It’s better to respect the Lord and only have a little than to have plenty of money and the trouble that comes with it.(Proverbs 15:16)
The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.(Proverbs 22:4)
Dear friends, since we have these promises, we should wash ourselves clean from all that makes both body and spirit dirty, aiming for complete holiness out of reverence for God.(2 Corinthians 7:1)
O cuidado de Deus com quem O teme
A Escritura afirma com frequência que o olhar e o favor de Deus repousam sobre aqueles que O honram de coração. Essa consideração reverente gera firmeza interior, esperança e bênção na vida familiar.
The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love(Psalms 33:18)
Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!(Psalms 112:1)
Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!(Psalms 128:1)
But for those who have reverence for me, the sun of God’s salvation will rise with healing in its wings, and you will be set free, leaping like calves released from their stalls.(Malachi 4:2)
God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.(Psalms 67:7)
Because the midwives revered God, he gave them families of their own.(Exodus 1:21)
O dever humano e a admiração nas relações
O propósito essencial da existência humana consiste em temer a Deus e guardar os Seus mandamentos. No convívio diário, esse mesmo princípio ensina a discernir o que merece admiração: prestar a honra devida a cada autoridade e valorizar o caráter piedoso acima das aparências passageiras.
People of Israel, what does the Lord your God want from you? He wants you to respect the Lord your God by following all his ways. He wants you to love him.

You are to follow the Lord your God and respect him. Keep his commandments and do what he says; worship him and hold onto him.(Deuteronomy 13:4)
