Céu
O céu é a morada eterna de Deus e a esperança final do cristão. A Bíblia descreve o céu como lugar de glória, alegria e comunhão perfeita com o Criador.
A morada de Deus
Na casa de meu Pai há muitas moradas. Os céus declaram a glória de Deus — e um dia habitaremos lá eternamente.
There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you.
The heavens keep telling
the wonders of God,
and the skies declare
what he has done.
Each day informs
the following day;
each night announces
to the next.
Our God, may you be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.
In heaven I have only you,
and on this earth
you are all I want.
In the beginning God
created the heavens
and the earth.
The earth was barren,
with no form of life;
it was under a roaring ocean
covered with darkness.
But the Spirit of God
was moving over the water.
He built his palace in the heavens
and let its foundations
rest on the earth.
He scoops up the ocean
and empties it on the earth.
His name is the Lord.
in heaven and on earth.
There are no secret places
where you can hide from me.
Lord God, you stretched out your mighty arm and made the sky and the earth. You can do anything.
Cidadania celestial
A nossa cidadania está nos céus. Ajuntai tesouros no céu, não na terra. O céu é a pátria do cristão.
But we are citizens of heaven and are eagerly waiting for our Savior to come from there. Our Lord Jesus Christ
Don’t store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them.
But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and don’t try to stop them! People who are like these children belong to God’s kingdom."
Jesus replied, "If you want to be perfect, go sell everything you own! Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and be my follower."
The sky and the earth won’t last forever, but my words will.
Think about what is up there, not about what is here on earth.
Esperança eterna
Seremos arrebatados para encontrar o Senhor nos ares. Ainda não se manifestou o que havemos de ser — mas seremos semelhantes a Ele.
With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of God’s trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life. Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever.
My dear friends, we are already God’s children, though what we will be hasn’t yet been seen. But we do know when Christ returns, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is. This hope makes us keep ourselves holy, just as Christ is holy.
The Lord will always keep me from being harmed by evil, and he will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. Praise him forever and ever! Amen.
Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven.
After Jesus had said this and while they were watching, he was taken up into a cloud. They could not see him,
We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.
We didn’t bring anything into this world, and we won’t take anything with us when we leave. So we should be satisfied just to have food and clothes.
Just as the heavens
are higher than the earth,
my thoughts and my ways
are higher than yours.
Everything on earth
has its own time
and its own season.
They came into this world naked, and when they die, they will be just as naked. They can’t take anything with them, and they won’t have anything to show for all their work.
