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 whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
8 But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.
38 Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come39 nor height nor depth nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the charity of God, which is in Christ, Jesus our Lord.:
3 The LORD has appeared of old unto me, [saying], I have loved thee with an eternal love: therefore, I have put up with thee with mercy.
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good; for his mercy [endures] for ever.
8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a merciful and gracious God, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.
3 Because thy mercy [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
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, for charity is of God. Anyone that loves is born of God and knows God.8 He that does not love does not know God, for God is charity.
9 In this was the charity of God demonstrated in us, in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.10 In this does the charity consist, not because we had loved God, but because he loved us and has sent his Son [to be] the reconciliation for our sins.11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
16 And we have known and believed the charity that God has in us. God is charity, and he that abides in charity abides in God, and God in him.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1 Behold, what charity the Father has given us, that we should be called the sons of God; therefore the world does not know us, because it does not know him.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is the truth in him and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
3 For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.
4 Charity suffers long [and] is benign; charity envies not; charity does [nothing] without due reason, is not puffed up,
