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.
19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
8 But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.
14 You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.
13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
17 Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.
2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1 Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;2 By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
14 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.
Testemunhar e proclamar
Estai sempre preparados para responder com mansidão a todo aquele que pedir razão da vossa esperança.
15 But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
8 dummy verses inserted by amos
47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
24 But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,
29 Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,30 Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.
35 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
