Homem de Deus
O homem de Deus é aquele que busca a justiça, a piedade, a fé e o amor. A Bíblia apresenta modelos de homens íntegros que andaram com Deus e marcaram a história.
Características do homem de Deus
O homem de Deus foge das paixões e segue a justiça, a piedade, a fé, o amor, a perseverança e a mansidão.
Fighting a Good Fight for the Faith
Timothy, you belong to God, so keep away from all these evil things. Try your best to please God and to be like him. Be faithful, loving, dependable, and gentle.
Don’t let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity.
Personal Concerns and Greetings
Keep alert. Be firm in your faith. Stay brave and strong. Show love in everything you do.
The Lord God has told us
what is right
and what he demands:
"See that justice is done,
let mercy be your first concern,
and humbly obey your God."
Exemplos bíblicos
Noé era justo e íntegro entre seus contemporâneos. Jó era homem reto que temia a Deus e se desviava do mal.
and this is the story about him. Noah was the only person who lived right and obeyed God.
Job and His Family
Many years ago, a man named Job lived in the land of Uz. He was a truly good person, who respected God and refused to do evil.
God sent a man named John,
who came to tell
about the light
and to lead all people
to have faith.
Anyone with wisdom knows
what makes good sense,
but fools can never
make up their minds.
Viver como filho de Deus
Quem faz a vontade de Deus é eleito. Medite na Palavra e ande nos caminhos do Senhor como verdadeiro discípulo.
Yet some people accepted him
and put their faith in him.
So he gave them the right
to be the children of God.
They were not God’s children
by nature or because
of any human desires.
God himself was the one
who made them his children.
We know that God listens only to people who love and obey him. God doesn’t listen to sinners.
Young people can live
a clean life
by obeying your word.
I worship you
with all my heart.
Don’t let me walk away
from your commands.
I treasure your word
above all else;
it keeps me from sinning
against you.
I praise you, Lord!
Teach me your laws.
With my own mouth,
I tell others the laws
that you have spoken.
Obeying your instructions
brings as much happiness
as being rich.
I will study your teachings
and follow your footsteps.
I will take pleasure
in your laws
and remember your words.
The Way to Happiness
God blesses those people
who refuse evil advice
and won’t follow sinners
or join in sneering at God.
Instead, they find happiness
in the Teaching of the Lord,
and they think about it
day and night.
They are like trees
growing beside a stream,
trees that produce
fruit in season
and always have leaves.
Those people succeed
in everything they do.
That isn’t true of those
who are evil—
they are like straw
blown by the wind.
Sinners won’t have an excuse
on the day of judgment,
and they won’t have a place
with the people of God.
The Lord protects everyone
who follows him,
but the wicked follow a road
that leads to ruin.
You were told that your foolish desires will destroy you and that you must give up your old way of life with all its bad habits. Let the Spirit change your way of thinking and make you into a new person. You were created to be like God, and so you must please him and be truly holy.
