Crianças
As crianças ocupam lugar especial no coração de Deus. A Bíblia instrui a educá-las, protegê-las e ensiná-las nos caminhos do Senhor desde cedo — formando gerações que temem a Deus.
Herança do Senhor
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. Eles são presentes de Deus — cada criança é um milagre e uma responsabilidade sagrada.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
That our sons maybeas plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters maybe as pillars,
Sculptured in palace style;
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Instruir as crianças
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. A educação cristã é mandamento repetido através de toda a Escritura.
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Guidance for the Young
My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;
For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
Guidance for the Young
My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;
For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son inwhom he delights.
He also taught me, and said to me:
"Let your heart retain my words;
Keep my commands, and live.
Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
Disciplinar com amor
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A disciplina produz o fruto pacífico da justiça nos que são exercitados por ela.
The rod and rebuke give wisdom,
But a child left tohimself brings shame to his mother.
Do not withhold correction from a child,
For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
Buy the truth, and do not sell it,
Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Isa son who causes shame and brings reproach.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than onewhois perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him.
Even a child is known by his deeds,
Whether what he does is pure and right.
A foolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her who bore him.
Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father.
Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father.
A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent.
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
Shun Evil Counsel
My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;
For they willbe a graceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck.
"Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For blessed arethosewho keep my ways.
Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
Obediência e promessa
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Honra a teu pai e tua mãe para que viva muito tempo sobre a terra.
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Walk in Love
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time."
Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do whatis good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.
and he said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."
Crianças e o reino
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus honrou as crianças como modelo de fé e humildade para todo o seu povo.
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Who Is the Greatest?
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
"Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
Jesus Gives True Rest
At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Jesus Blesses Little Children
Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me."
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Jesus Restores Peter
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."
He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
Identidade e crescimento
Somos filhos de Deus pelo Espírito de adoção. Crescer em Cristo é amadurecer em fé, obediência e amor ao próximo.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Sons and Heirs
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Their Spiritual State
I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives."
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Transmitir a fé
Contaremos à geração vindoura os louvores do Senhor. O legado de fé é o maior presente que damos aos nossos filhos.
All your children shallbetaught by the Lord,
And great shallbe the peace of your children.
All your children shallbetaught by the Lord,
And great shallbe the peace of your children.
The living, the living man, he shall praise You,
As I do this day;
The father shall make known Your truth to the children.
"Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms ofMyhands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
Samuel’s First Prophecy
Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; therewas no widespread revelation.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
For He established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers,
That they should make them known to their children;
That the generation to come might know them,
The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children,
That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments;
