A comunhão
A comunhão cristã é dom e mandamento. Juntos somos mais fortes. A Bíblia celebra a unidade dos crentes em Cristo como antecipação do céu na terra.
I am in them and you are in me,so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have lovedthem as you have loved me.
"I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another.By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you loveone another."
Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that you may also have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.
Iron sharpens iron,
and one person sharpens another.
Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
