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 loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.
But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!
For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below—there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.
I appeared to them from far away. People of Israel, I have always loved you, so I continue to show you my constant love.
A Hymn of Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;
his love is eternal.
The Lord is merciful and loving,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God,
always patient, always kind and faithful.
Your constant love is better than life itself,
and so I will praise 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.
God Is Love
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him. This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another.
And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us.
God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them.
We love because God first loved us.
Children of God
See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God’s children—and so, in fact, we are. This is why the world does not know us: it has not known God.
The New Command
My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard. However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining.
For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us,
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or 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 with you;
his power gives you victory.
The Lord will take delight in you,
and in his love he will give you new life.
He will sing and be joyful over you,
I love those who love me;
whoever looks for me can find me.
I will give up whole nations to save your life,
because you are precious to me
and because I love you and give you honor.
Inside your Temple, O God,
we think of your constant love.
Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
so that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me.
But God’s mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great, that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved.
May the Lord lead you into a greater understanding of God’s love and the endurance that is given by Christ.
