Evangelização
A evangelização é a missão suprema da Igreja. Jesus mandou: ide por todo o mundo e pregai o evangelho a toda criatura. O evangelho é poder de Deus para a salvação de todo aquele que crê.
A Grande Comissão
Ide, fazei discípulos de todas as nações. Jesus confiou a seus seguidores a missão de levar a boa notícia ao mundo inteiro.
Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
Then he told them:
Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world.
But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world."
You are the light for the whole world. A city built on top of a hill cannot be hidden,
Salt and Light
You are the salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it make food salty? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on.
and no one lights a lamp and puts it under a clay pot. Instead, it is placed on a lampstand, where it can give light to everyone in the house. Make your light shine, so others will see the good you do and will praise your Father in heaven.
Then Jesus started preaching, "Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here."
O poder do evangelho
O evangelho é poder de Deus para a salvação. A fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela Palavra de Cristo.
The Power of the Good News
I am proud of the good news! It is God’s powerful way of saving all people who have faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.
No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.
In fact, while I was with you, I made up my mind to speak only about Jesus Christ, who had been nailed to a cross.
Christ Was Raised to Life
My friends, I want you to remember the message I preached and that you believed and trusted. You will be saved by this message, if you hold firmly to it. But if you don’t, your faith was all for nothing.
God used our preaching as his way of inviting you to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Testemunhar e proclamar
Estai sempre preparados para responder com mansidão a todo aquele que pedir razão da vossa esperança.
Honor Christ and let him be the Lord of your life.
Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope.
If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.
When you become fruitful disciples of mine, my Father will be honored.
The Lord has given us this command,
"I have placed you here
as a light
for the Gentiles.
You are to take
the saving power of God
to people everywhere on earth."
But I don’t care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work the Lord Jesus gave me to do. And this work is to tell the good news about God’s gift of undeserved grace.
"The Lord’s Spirit
has come to me,
because he has chosen me
to tell the good news
to the poor.
The Lord has sent me
to announce freedom
for prisoners,
to give sight to the blind,
to free everyone
who suffers,
Jesus told him:
You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or land for me and for the good news will be rewarded. In this world they will be given 100 times as many houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and pieces of land, though they will also be mistreated. And in the world to come, they will have eternal life.
If you want to save your life, you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me and for the good news, you will save it.
Fazer conhecer
Dai graças ao Senhor, invocai o seu nome, fazei conhecidas as suas obras entre os povos.
The Lord Can Be Trusted
Praise the Lord
and pray in his name!
Tell everyone
what he has done.
At that time you will say,
"Our Lord, we are thankful,
and we worship only you.
We will tell the nations
how glorious you are
and what you have done.
God did this because he wanted you Gentiles to understand his wonderful and glorious mystery. And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God’s glory.
Instructions for Different Groups of People
Titus, you must teach only what is correct.
I will do these things to show the world that I, the Lord, am holy.
