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 only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Lord appeared to him long ago, saying,
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you out with kindness.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and truth.
Because Your favor is better than life,
My lips 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.
Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. 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. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
We love, because He first loved us.
See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are. For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know Him.
Beloved, 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 have heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away 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 is not jealous; love does not brag, it 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.
"The Lord your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior.
He will rejoice over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
"I love those who love me;
And those who diligently seek me will find me.
"Since you are precious in My sight,
Since you are honored and I love you,
I will give other people in your place and other nations in exchange for your life.
We have thought over Your goodness, God,
In the midst of Your temple.
Prolong Your mercy to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
I have been crucified with Christ; and 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 up for me.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (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 you all.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.
