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.
Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.
And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
Do Not Judge Others
"Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.For you will be treated as you treat others.The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
Responsabilidade pessoal
Quem é sábio prevê o perigo e se esconde. A Palavra examina os pensamentos e intenções do coração.
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost.
Sins Requiring a Sin Offering
"If you are called to testify about something you have seen or that you know about, it is sinful to refuse to testify, and you will be punished for your sin.
"Suppose you sin by violating one of the Lord’s commands. Even if you are unaware of what you have done, you are guilty and will be punished for your sin.
"Do not nurse hatred in your heart for any of your relatives. Confront people directly so you will not be held guilty for their sin.
Consequências inevitáveis
A terra deu seu fruto conforme as obras dos que nela habitam. Ninguém escapa do juízo — Deus pesa cada ação.
But the land will become empty and desolate
because of the wickedness of those who live there.
You will be fully repaid for all your prostitution—your worship of idols. Yes, you will suffer the full penalty. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord."
"And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.
Why do the wicked get away with despising God?
They think, "God will never call us to account."
But you see the trouble and grief they cause.
You take note of it and punish them.
The helpless put their trust in you.
You defend the orphans.
