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 like the LORD, there is none besides thee; there is no rock like our God.
22 Therefore thou art great, O LORD God; for there is none like thee, and there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
4 (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)
1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says 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 So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
19 We love, because he first loved us.
20 If any one 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.
12 No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
17 The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in 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.
29 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.
8 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
2 Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
25 Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory.
3 my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly.
3 Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
35 For he who 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.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened, neither be dismayed; for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
1 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
13 For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you."
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
