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 in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
But God demonstrated his own love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 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.
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 us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
In this the love of God was revealed among us, that God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
And we have come to know and to trust in the love that God has for us.
God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
We love him because he first loved us.
See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God! The reason the world does not know you is that it did not know him.
Brothers, I am not writing you a new commandment, but an old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message you have heard from the beginning. Yet I am writing you a new commandment, 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 and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not puffed up
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.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Yet God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, made us alive together with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses—by grace you have been saved.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Amen.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ.
