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.
"No one is holy like the Lord;
there is none like him,
no protector like our God.
How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God.
Every house, of course, is built by someone—and God is the one who has built all things.
Lord, you are my God;
I will honor you and praise your name.
You have done amazing things;
you have faithfully carried out
the plans you made long ago.
"My thoughts," says the Lord, "are not like yours,
and my ways are different from yours.
Deus é amor
Deus é amor. Quem permanece no amor permanece em Deus e Deus nele. Nós amamos porque Ele nos amou primeiro.
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.
If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen.
No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.
The Lord your God is with you;
his power gives you victory.
The Lord will take delight in you,
and in his love he will give you new life.
He will sing and be joyful over you,
Buscar a Deus
Buscareis o Senhor e o encontrareis quando o buscardes de todo o coração. Provai e vede que o Senhor é bom.
There you will look for the Lord your God, and if you search for him with all your heart, you will find him.
Find out for yourself how good the Lord is.
Happy are those who find safety with him.
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
all the good things I have come from you."
What else do I have in heaven but you?
Since I have you, what else could I want on earth?
When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty,
I put my trust in you.
You are my refuge and defense;
guide me and lead me as you have promised.
Those who find me find life,
and the Lord will be pleased with them.
Viver com Deus
Sê forte e corajoso, porque o Senhor teu Deus é contigo. Em Deus encontramos a razão de existir.
Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go."
I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
May you always be joyful in your union with the Lord. I say it again: rejoice!
Arise, Jerusalem, and shine like the sun;
The glory of the Lord is shining on you!
I am the Lord your God;
I strengthen you and tell you,
‘Do not be afraid; I will help you.’"
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.
"Respect your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that I am giving you.
