Consequências dos nossos atos
Toda ação tem consequências. A Bíblia ensina que colhemos o que semeamos — para o bem e para o mal. Deus pesará cada palavra e ato no dia do juízo.
Colher o que semear
Cada um prestará contas de si mesmo a Deus. O Senhor julgará as obras e os segredos dos homens com justiça perfeita.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
God "will repay each one according to his deeds." To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism.
Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Judging Others
"Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
The Living Word
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Responsabilidade pessoal
Quem é sábio prevê o perigo e se esconde. A Palavra examina os pensamentos e intenções do coração.
The prudent see danger and take cover,
but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage;
but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences.
It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly,
only later to reconsider his vows.
Sins Requiring a Sin Offering
"If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.
If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.
Consequências inevitáveis
A terra deu seu fruto conforme as obras dos que nela habitam. Ninguém escapa do juízo — Deus pesa cada ação.
Then the earth will become desolate
because of its inhabitants,
as the fruit of their deeds.
They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’"
And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
Why has the wicked man renounced God?
He says to himself, "You will never call me to account."
But You have regarded trouble and grief;
You see to repay it by Your hand.
The victim entrusts himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
