Amor incondicional
O amor incondicional de Deus não depende de mérito humano. Ele nos amou quando ainda éramos pecadores. Esse amor não tem limites, não cobra preço e não pode ser perdido.
Amor sem condições
Deus prova o seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós sendo nós ainda pecadores. O amor de Deus é gratuito e irrevogável.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, even if that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person. Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
All people have done evil, and all people have failed to accomplish the glorious goals that God set for them. Our record of sins has been erased {God erased the record of our sins} by God acting kindly to forgive our sins, without our doing anything to earn it. Christ Jesus accomplished this by dying for us.
Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen because someone caused us to have trouble [DOU], or because someone did things to harm us, or because we did not have anything to eat, or because we did not have enough clothes, or because we lived in a dangerous situation, or because someone killed us with a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
God sent his Son into the world to save everyone who trusts in him.
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.
Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those evil deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that God would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other evil people.
But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much. As a result, even when we were ◄spiritually dead/as unable to please God as a corpse [MET] is► because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive spiritual/eternal life because of our relationship with Christ. Do not forget this: It is only because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that he saved you} from the guilt of your sin
Even though we were behaving sinfully like this, God our Savior acted kindly and lovingly to us [PRS], and saved us! He did this, not because we did things that are right, but just because he wanted to be merciful to us! He washed us inwardly and gave us a new way of living as a result of the Holy Spirit changing us inwardly. Because we trusted in Jesus Christ our Savior, God put the Holy Spirit within us in order to wonderfully change us.
Amor eterno
Com amor eterno te amei. O amor de Deus é mais largo, mais alto e mais profundo do que podemos compreender.
Long ago I, Yahweh, said to your ancestors, the Israeli people,
‘I have loved you and I will continue to love you forever.
By faithfully loving you, I have brought you close to myself.’
So thank God, who lives in heaven, for all those things,
because his faithful love for us endures forever!
Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens,
you faithfully do what you have promised;
it is as though your doing that extends up to the clouds.
Friends love others all the time,
and relatives are able to help us when we have troubles.
I will tell you how God has shown us that he loves us: He sent ◄his only Son/the only one who was also God► to live on the earth to enable us to live eternally as a result of our trusting in what he accomplished for us by dying for us.
And God has shown us what it means to love another person: It does not mean that we loved God, but it means that God loved us and sent ◄his Son/the one who was also God► to sacrifice his life in order that our sins might be forgiven {he might forgive our sins}.
We love God and our fellow believers because God loved us first.
The way that we now know how to truly love our fellow believers is by remembering that Christ ◄voluntarily died/gave his life► for us. So, when our fellow believers need something, we should be willing to help them. We should even be willing to die for them.
Amar como Deus ama
O amor é paciente e bondoso. Amai os vossos inimigos. O amor incondicional se expressa no perdão e na compaixão.
Those who [PRS] truly love others act patiently and kindly toward them. Those who [PRS] truly love others are not jealous of them, they do not boast about what they themselves have done, and are not proud. Those who [PRS] truly love others do not act in disgraceful/disrespectful ways towards them. They do not ◄act selfishly/think only of themselves and what they want►. They do not quickly become angry. They do not keep remembering the bad things that others have done to them.
Those who [PRS] truly love others do not rejoice when people do evil things, but they do rejoice when people act righteously. Those who truly love others patiently put up withthe faults of others. They do not quickly assume that others have done something bad. They confidently expect that others will act righteously. They patiently endure all their own troubles.
Jesus taught that we should love the people whom we would not normally love.
"You have heard your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote, ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’ But now listen to what I say to you: Love your enemies as well as your friends, and pray for those who cause you to suffer. Do that in order to imitate what God, your Father who is in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do like he does. He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes the sun to shine equally on wicked people and on good people, and he sends rain both on righteous people and on unrighteous people. If you love only the people who love you, ◄do not expect God to reward you in heaven!/will God reward you in heaven?► [RHQ] This is based on the fact that everyone, even the tax collectors, who you think are very great sinners, love [RHQ] those who love them. If you act like them, ◄you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors?► [RHQ] If you want God to bless only your friends, ◄you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?► [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, who you think sin very much (OR, you think are unacceptable to God), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], but God does not reward them for that. You need to love those who do not love you, and in that way become perfect as God your Father, who is in heaven, is perfect."
Jesus taught how we should act toward those who are not kind to us.
"But I say this to each of you disciples who are listening to what I say: Love your enemies as well as your friends. Do good things for those who hate you! Ask God to bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
Most important of all, love each other earnestly/wholeheartedly, because if we love others [PRS], we will just ignore many of the sinful things that they do to us.
