amor de Deus
O amor de Deus é a maior realidade do universo. Ele nos amou com amor eterno, incondicional e sacrificial — e nada no mundo pode nos separar desse amor.
Amor eterno
Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho. Seu amor é de eternidade a eternidade — nunca falha.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
His loving devotion endures forever.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
Because Your loving devotion is better than life,
my lips will glorify You.
Natureza do amor divino
Deus é amor. O amor é paciente, benigno. O amor do Pai nos adota como filhos e nos transforma à sua imagem.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
We love because He first loved us.
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard. Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Expressões do amor de Deus
O Senhor nos ama com alegria e canta sobre nós. Queni a mim vem, amará; e quem me ama, o Pai o amará.
The LORD your God is among you;
He is mighty to save.
He will rejoice over you with gladness;
He will quiet you with His love;
He will rejoice over you with singing."
I love those who love me,
and those who seek me early shall find me.
Because you are precious and honored in My sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you
and nations in place of your life.
Within Your temple, O God,
we contemplate Your loving devotion.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You,
and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
