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 everlasting life.
8 But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 The LORD has appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
3 Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall 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.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God.8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, 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 God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.
4 Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,
