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 shall give account of himself to God.
who "will render to each one according to his deeds": eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.
And the gift is not like thatwhichcame through the one who sinned. For the judgment whichcame from one offenseresulted in condemnation, but the free gift whichcame from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
Do Not Judge
"Judgenot, that you be not judged.For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For the word of God isliving and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things arenaked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we mustgive account.
Responsabilidade pessoal
Quem é sábio prevê o perigo e se esconde. A Palavra examina os pensamentos e intenções do coração.
A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are punished.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone."
Itis a snare for a man to devote rashly somethingas holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.
The Trespass Offering
‘If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter—if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.
"If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he does not know it, yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity.
‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
Consequências inevitáveis
A terra deu seu fruto conforme as obras dos que nela habitam. Ninguém escapa do juízo — Deus pesa cada ação.
Yet the land shall be desolate
Because of those who dwell in it,
And for the fruit of their deeds.
They shall repay you for your lewdness, and you shall pay for your idolatrous sins. Then you shall know that I am the Lord God.’ "
Surely for your lifeblood I will demand areckoning;from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.
Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
"You will not require anaccount."
But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
