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.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; and everyone that loves has been born of God and knows God.8 He that does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him.10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be ]the propitiation for our sins.11 Beloved, if in this way God loved us, indeed we ought to love one another.
16 And we have come to know and believe the love which God has in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.
7 Brothers, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.8 Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which [thing] is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
4 Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not arrogant;
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.
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,5 even when we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
