Deus é amor
Deus é amor — esta é a declaração mais profunda da Bíblia sobre a natureza divina. Tudo que Deus faz nasce do amor. Quem permanece no amor permanece em Deus.
A natureza de Deus
Deus é amor. Quem permanece no amor, permanece em Deus e Deus nele. Ele nos amou primeiro com amor eterno.
God Is Love
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
If we declare that Jesus is the Son of God, we live in union with God and God lives in union with us. And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us.
God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them.
We love because God first loved us.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.
O amor de Deus revelado
Deus prova o seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós quando ainda éramos pecadores. Seu amor é compassivo e eterno.
But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!
But God’s mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great, that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved.
But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God,
always patient, always kind and faithful.
How precious, O God, is your constant love!
We find protection under the shadow of your wings.
Your constant love is better than life itself,
and so I will praise you.
A Hymn of Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;
his love is eternal.
There is no other god like you, O Lord; you forgive the sins of your people who have survived. You do not stay angry forever, but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love.
And now, my friends, good-bye! Strive for perfection; listen to my appeals; agree with one another; live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
