Família de Deus
A família de Deus transcende laços de sangue. Em Cristo, somos adotados como filhos, irmãos uns dos outros e membros de uma família eterna — a Igreja.
Adotados por Deus
Recebemos o espírito de adoção pelo qual clamamos: Abba, Pai! Se filhos, também herdeiros — herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros com Cristo.
For you did not receive a spirit of avdut, falling back into pachad (fear); but you received the Ruach of Mishpat HaBanim (Adoption), having Ma’amad HaBanim (the standing as Sons), by which we cry, "Abba, Avinu!" The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ruach that we are bnei HaElohim. And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him.
But when the fullness of time had come, Hashem sent forth his Zun fun der Oybershter, born of an isha, born under Gezetz (Law), That Moshiach might bring the Geulah (Redemption) to the ones under Gezetz (Law), that we might receive the Ma’amad HaBanim (the standing as sons), the bechirah adoption. And because you are banim, Hashem sent forth the Ruach of His Zun fun der Oybershter into your levavot, crying "Abba, Avinu!" So you are no longer an eved but a ben; and if a ben, also a yoresh through Hashem.
For through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you are all yeladim of Elohim. For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed yourselves with Moshiach. There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is not eved (servant) nor Ben Chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua.
Having provided the yi’ud merosh (predestination) for us to be chosen as adopted bnei brit through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to Himself, according to the chafetz (good pleasure) of His ratzon (will), To the tehillat kavod of the Chen v’Chesed Hashem of Him (to the praise of the glory of His grace) by which Hashem freely favored us in the Moshiach HaAhuv.
For this cause I fall down before Elokim HaAv, From whom every mishpochah in Shomayim and on Ha’Aretz is named,
But as many as him lekabel pnei Moshiach (receive him as Moshiach), to them he gave the tokef (authority) to become in fact yeladim haElohim. He gave this tokef to the ones whose being born was not by the agency of natural descent, nor by the ratzon (will) of basar (fallen human nature), nor by the ratzon of a gever (male) — rather, to the ones born of G-d.
A comunidade de fé
Não abandonem a congregação. Somos um corpo em Cristo, membros uns dos outros, chamados a amar e a servir.
And let us not turn away and defect from our noiheg (habitually) conducted daily minyan, as some are doing; let us impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to one another, and by so much the more as you see the Yom approaching.
For you endure nisyonos for the sake of musar. And Hashem is dealing with you as banim. For what ben is there whom an Abba does not give musar? But if you are without musar, in which all the yeladim share, then you are not banim but mamzerim. Furthermore, we had Avot on HaAretz, who were morim that we reverenced and treated with kavod. Should we not even more subject ourselves to the Avi HaRuchot and live? For they disciplined us for a short time, as seemed tov to them, but Hashem disciplines us for tov lanu in order that we might share in his kedushah.
So we all are one body in Moshiach, and are individually members one of another,
And when one evar (member) has tza’ar (pain and suffering), all the evarim (members) have tza’ar with it; or one evar has the aliyah of kibbud, all the evarim has simcha with it.
Therefore, then, no longer are you zarim and aliens, but you are fellow citizens of the Kedoshim and bnei bayit members of the household of G-d, Having been built upon the yesod (foundation) of the Shlichim and Nevi’im, Moshiach Yehoshua himself being the ROSH PINAH, In whom all the binyan (edifice), being fitly joined together, grows into a Heikhal Kadosh b'Hashem; In whom also you are being built together into a Mishkan of Hashem in the Ruach Hakodesh.
Quem é minha família?
Jesus disse: quem faz a vontade de Deus, esse é meu irmão e irmã. A família de Deus inclui todos os que creem.
And in reply to them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Who is immi? And my achim (brothers)? And having looked around at the ones sitting around him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Hinei! Immi and my achim! For whoever does the ratzon Hashem, this one is my brother and my sister and mother.
But the eved does not remain in the Bais ad Olam. HaBen remains ad Olam.
He said to them, If Hashem were the Av of you, you would have had ahavah for me, for I came forth from Hashem, and now I am present here, for I have not come on my own, but HaAv sent me.
To a Zaken do not speak harsh rebuke. Rather entreat him as an abba. Treat the bochrim as achim (brothers). Elderly nashim treat as imahot (mothers); younger nashim as achayot (sisters) in all hatohar (moral purity).
See what kind of ahavah HaAv has given to us, that yeladim of Elohim we should be called. And so we are. Therefore, the Olam Hazeh does not have da’as of us, because it did not have da’as of Him. Chaverim, now yeladim of Elohim we are, and not yet it is niglah (is revealed) what we will be. We have da’as that when He is niglah, like Him we will be, because we will see Him as He is.
Therefore, then, as we have opportunity, we should do ma’asim tovim towards all, and especially towards the Bnei Beis HaEmunah.
