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 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart,47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.

20 For where two or three are assembled 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 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

16 Be of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus:

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid 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 consider one another to excite to love and to good works:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

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

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

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

20 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
