Incentivo
A Bíblia é fonte inesgotável de incentivo. Em cada página, Deus nos encoraja a não temer, a perseverar e a confiar que Ele está conosco e é maior que qualquer adversidade.
Deus é por nós
Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós? O Senhor fortalece, sustenta e guia seus filhos em cada batalha e desafio.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who [can be] against us?
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Esperança e perseverança
A tribulação produz perseverança, a perseverança produz caráter, e o caráter produz esperança que não decepciona.
3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance;4 and endurance, character; and character, hope.5 And hope does not put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has a great recompense.
10 Fear none of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold indeed, the devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."
16 Therefore we do not despair, but even if our outward man is being destroyed, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.17 For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are for a season, but the things which are not seen last forever.
23 Jesus said to him, "If you are able to believe: all things are possible to him that believes."
Deus cuida de nós
Entrega o teu caminho ao Senhor. Lança sobre Ele as tuas ansiedades, porque Ele tem cuidado de nós diariamente.
Futuro e promessas
Eu sei os planos que tenho para vocês — planos de paz e não de mal, para dar-lhes futuro e esperança.
26 And looking on [them], Jesus said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
