Comunidade

Por Bíblia Online –

A comunidade cristã é essencial para o crescimento da fé. A Bíblia ensina que fomos criados para viver em comunhão — edificando-nos, encorajando-nos e servindo uns aos outros.

Viver em unidade

Os que creram eram um coração e uma alma. A comunidade primitiva partilhava tudo e vivia em harmonia e alegria.

32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."

Edificação mútua

Vivam em harmonia uns com os outros. Não haja divisões entre vós. A comunidade cresce quando cada membro contribui.

10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink of one Spirit.

4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

5 Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

17 Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

Amor e compromisso

Não deixemos de congregar. O vínculo perfeito é o amor — ele une a comunidade e produz frutos que duram.

24 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

1 A Song of Ascents. By David.See how good and how pleasant it isfor brothers to live together in unity!

8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

20 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
