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.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.
4 For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.
1 O Lord, thou art my God: I will exalt thee, I will prayse thy Name: for thou hast done wonderfull things, according to the counsels of old, with a stable trueth.
8 For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth 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.
16 And we haue knowen, and beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
19 We loue him, because he loued vs first.
20 If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene?
12 No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs.
17 The Lord thy God in the middes of thee is mightie: hee will saue, hee will reioyce ouer thee with ioye: he will quiet himselfe in his loue: he will reioyce ouer thee with ioy.
Buscar a Deus
Buscareis o Senhor e o encontrareis quando o buscardes de todo o coração. Provai e vede que o Senhor é bom.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule.
8 Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.
3 For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
35 But he that sinneth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and all that hate me, loue death.
Viver com Deus
Sê forte e corajoso, porque o Senhor teu Deus é contigo. Em Deus encontramos a razão de existir.
9 Haue not I commanded thee, saying, Be strong and of a good courage, feare not, nor be discouraged? for I the Lord thy God will be with thee, whithersoeuer thou goest.
13 I am able to do al things through the helpe of Christ, which strengtheneth me.
4 Reioyce in the Lord alway, againe I say, reioyce.
1 Arise, O Ierusalem: be bright, for thy light is come, and the glorie of the Lord is risen vpon thee.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
10 Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
7 Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
