Deus
Deus é a realidade suprema do universo — o criador, sustentador e redentor de tudo o que existe. Conhecê-lo é a essência da vida eterna e o maior privilégio da existência humana.
Quem é Deus
Não há santo como o Senhor. Tu és grande e fazes maravilhas — só tu és Deus. Sua majestade transcende toda compreensão.
"There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
(For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.)
O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
Deus é amor
Deus é amor. Quem permanece no amor permanece em Deus e Deus nele. Nós amamos porque Ele nos amou primeiro.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
We love because he first loved us.
If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Buscar a Deus
Buscareis o Senhor e o encontrareis quando o buscardes de todo o coração. Provai e vede que o Senhor é bom.
But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you."
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me;
For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord,
Viver com Deus
Sê forte e corajoso, porque o Senhor teu Deus é contigo. Em Deus encontramos a razão de existir.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, "Fear not,
I am the one who helps you."
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
