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 had believed was of one heart and one soul, and no one said that any part of his property was his own, but they had all things in common.

42 These gave constant attention to the teaching of the apostles and to the fellowship and the breaking of bread and the prayers.

46 Every day, continuing with one accord in the Temple courts and in breaking bread from house to house, they ate together in joy and simplicity of heart,47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added daily to their number those who were being saved.

14 All of these continued earnestly and unitedly in prayer with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.

5 So Peter was under guard in the prison. But prayer was continually made by the church to God for him.

20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I 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 I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

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

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

16 Be in harmony with one another. Do not be thinking of high things, but be content with humble things. Do not become conceited.

1 WELCOME him who is weak in the faith, but not in order to decide disputed questions.

5 May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

17 I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

Amor e compromisso

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

24 and let us keep watch to incite one another to love and noble deeds,25 not neglecting to assemble yourselves, as some do, but encouraging one another, and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.

14 Above all these, clothe yourselves with love, which is the perfect bond of union.

3 earnest in keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

8 Finally, all must be like-minded, sympathetic, full of brotherly love, compassionate, humble-minded,

11 Beloved, if God has so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

7 If we live 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 cannot be Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus.29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

20 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me. He who receives me receives him who sent me."
