Comunhão com Deus
A comunhão com Deus é o propósito supremo da existência humana. Fomos criados para viver em intimidade com o Criador — e em Cristo, esse acesso é plenamente restaurado.
Em comunhão com Deus
Deus é fiel, pelo qual fostes chamados à comunhão de seu Filho. A comunhão com Deus é dom da graça e fruto da redenção.
