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.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
5 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
25 Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.
1 IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
6 It is He that buildeth His upper chambers in the heaven, and hath founded His vault upon the earth; He that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
17 'Ah Lord GOD! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and by Thy outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for Thee;
Cidadania celestial
A nossa cidadania está nos céus. Ajuntai tesouros no céu, não na terra. O céu é a pátria do cristão.
Esperança eterna
Seremos arrebatados para encontrar o Senhor nos ares. Ainda não se manifestou o que havemos de ser — mas seremos semelhantes a Ele.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he go back as he came, and shall take nothing for his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
