Filhos de Deus
Ser filho de Deus é o maior privilégio da existência humana. Pela fé em Cristo, recebemos o direito de ser chamados filhos de Deus — herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros com Cristo.
O direito de ser filho
A todos que creram no nome de Jesus, deu-lhes o poder de serem feitos filhos de Deus — nascidos não do sangue, mas de Deus.
12 But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
16 For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.
31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jeshu is the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, and that when you have believed you may have in his name the life which is eternal.
26 For you are all the children of Aloha through the faith of Jeshu the Meshiha.27 For they who into the Meshiha are baptized have been clothed with the Meshiha.
4 But when the fulness of the time had come, Aloha sent his Son, and made from a woman, and made under the law,5 that them who were under the law he might redeem, and we might receive the constitution of sons.
7 Therefore you are not servants, but sons; and if sons, heirs also of Aloha, through Jeshu Meshiha.
A identidade dos filhos
O Espírito testifica com nosso espírito que somos filhos de Deus. E se filhos, também herdeiros — herdeiros de Deus.
14 For they who by the Spirit of Aloha are led, they are the sons of Aloha.15 For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father!
16 And the Spirit himself witnesseth with our spirit, that we are the sons of Aloha.
8 but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.
Viver como filhos
Vede que grande amor o Pai nos concedeu: que fôssemos chamados filhos de Deus! E é isso que somos.
1 And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him.
10 In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.
9 Blessed the makers of peace, for the children of Aloha shall they be called.
15 He saith to them, But you, whom say you that I am?16 Shemun Kipha answered and said, Thou art the Meshicha, Son of Aloha the Living.17 Jeshu responded and said to him, Blessed art thou, Shemun-bar-Jona; because flesh and blood have not revealed (this) to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
7 Endure, therefore, correction, because Aloha acteth towards you as with children: for who is a son whom his father doth not correct?8 And if ye be without the correction with which every one is corrected, ye are aliens, and not children.
