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.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
19 We love, because he first loved us.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, 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.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
7 How precious is your loving kindness, God!The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life,my lips shall praise you.
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;for his loving kindness endures forever.
18 Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?He doesn't retain his anger forever,because he delights in loving kindness.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
