Guardar o coração
Guardar o coração é o mandamento mais urgente de Provérbios. Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida.
Sobre tudo, guarda o coração
O coração é a nascente de tudo — pensamentos, desejos, decisões. Guardá-lo é proteger toda a vida espiritual e emocional.
45 A good man from the good treasury of his heart brings forth what is good, and the evil man from his evil treasury brings forth what is evil. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
Coração puro e renovado
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Os puros de coração verão a Deus — e o Espírito renova nosso interior.
8 "Blessed are the pure in heart! For they will see God.
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
2 Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.
Vigilância e paz
A paz de Deus guarda nossos corações em Cristo Jesus. Chegai-vos a Deus, purificai os corações — e Ele estará convosco.
6 Do not worry, but in everything by prayer and entreaty with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.7 And the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8 You too must be patient. Keep your hearts steadfast, for the coming of the Lord is near.
1 IF then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
