Jesus me ama
Jesus me ama — essa certeza transforma vidas. O amor de Cristo não depende do nosso merecimento, mas da sua natureza. Ele nos amou primeiro, e nada pode nos separar desse amor.
Ele me amou primeiro
Nós amamos porque Ele nos amou primeiro. O amor de Deus se manifestou em nos enviar seu Filho como propiciação pelos nossos pecados.
We love God and our fellow believers because God loved us first.
And God has shown us what it means to love another person: It does not mean that we loved God, but it means that God loved us and sent ◄his Son/the one who was also God► to sacrifice his life in order that our sins might be forgiven {he might forgive our sins}.
Do not allow anyone to seduce you to sin, because you are God’s children, and his children maintain themselves free from evil behavior by not continuing to sin as the devil’s children do.
Think about how much our heavenly Father loves us! He allows us to ◄say that we are/be called► his children! And it is indeed true that we are his children. But people in the world [MTY] who are unbelievers have not understood who God is. So they do not understand who we are, that we belong to God.
The way that we now know how to truly love our fellow believers is by remembering that Christ ◄voluntarily died/gave his life► for us. So, when our fellow believers need something, we should be willing to help them. We should even be willing to die for them.
God sent his Son into the world to save everyone who trusts in him.
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Amor inseparável
Nem a morte, nem a vida, nem qualquer outra criatura poderá nos separar do amor de Deus em Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor.
I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor what happens to us while we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful beings/forces, nor powerful beings above the horizon or below the horizon [MTY], nor anything else that God has created can cause God to stop loving us. God showed us that he loves us by sending Jesus Christ our Lord to die for us.
Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen because someone caused us to have trouble [DOU], or because someone did things to harm us, or because we did not have anything to eat, or because we did not have enough clothes, or because we lived in a dangerous situation, or because someone killed us with a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us). Such things may happen to us, just like it is written {as David wrote} that David said to God, "Because we are your (sg) people, other people repeatedly attempt to kill us. They consider that we are only people to be killed, like a butcher considers that sheep are only animals to be slaughtered [MET]." But even though all these bad things may happen to us, we win a great victory/triumph over these things because Christ, who loves us, helps us.
Jesus Christ is the one who has faithfully told people about God. He is the first one ◄whom God has raised from the dead/who became alive again after being dead►, in order to show that God will raise us who trust in Jesus. Jesus is the one who rules the kings of the earth. He is the one who loves us. He is the one who has erased the record our sins. He did that by shedding his blood when he died on the cross. He is the one who has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests who serve God his Father. As a result of this, we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. ◄Amen!/That is true!►
Imitate God, do everything in a way that shows love, and do not let anyone persuade you to live immorally, because God will punish those who disobey him.
◄Imitate/Behave like► God, because he loves you who are as though you were [SIM] his children. Do everything in a way that shows that you love people, just like Christ loved us and willingly died for us. He offered himself to God as a sacrifice that was very pleasing to God, just like Jewish priests offered sweet-smelling animal sacrifices to God [MET].
Celebrar o amor de Jesus
O amor de Jesus é motivo de cântico e louvor. De manhã cantarei teu amor e à noite proclamarei tua misericórdia.
God, you are the one who enables me to be strong;
you are my refuge;
you faithfully love me.
Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly;
he does not quickly ◄get angry/punish us► when we sin;
he is always showing us that he faithfully loves us.
He will not keep rebuking us,
and he will not remain angry forever.
He punishes us for our sins,
but he does not punish us severely as we deserve [DOU]!
The skies are very high above the earth,
and Yahweh’s faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
He has taken away the guilt for [MTY] our sins,
taking it as far from us as the east is from the west.
The best way that people can show that they love someone is to die for that person. There is no way that you can love someone in a greater way than that.
You already know how much our Lord Jesus did for you that you did not deserve. Everything in heaven belonged to him. But in order to benefit you, he left all of those things behind and became a human being. Here on earth he had very few possessions of his own. But because he became poor like that, he is able to cause you (pl) to become spiritually rich.
