Justiça
A justiça é atributo de Deus e vocação do cristão. A Bíblia chama os crentes a buscar a justiça, praticar o que é reto e confiar no Deus que julga justamente.
Buscar a justiça
Buscai primeiro o Reino de Deus e a sua justiça. Quem semeia justiça colherá galardão seguro e duradouro.
But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.
Meanness gets you nowhere,
but goodness is rewarded.
If you try to be kind and good,
you will be blessed with life
and goodness and honor.
Doing what is right and fair
pleases the Lord
more than an offering.
We may think we are doing
the right thing,
but the Lord always knows
what is in our hearts.
What you gain by doing evil
won’t help you at all.
Obeying God is the only way
to be saved from death.
Justiça em Cristo
Deus tornou Cristo a nossa justiça. Pela fé somos declarados justos diante de Deus — não por obras, mas pela graça.
Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so Christ could make us acceptable to God.
God’s Kindness and the New Life
God has shown us undeserved grace by coming to save all people. He taught us to give up our wicked ways and our worldly desires and to live decent and honest lives in this world.
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.
Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.
You cannot fool God, so don’t make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant.
Don’t get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don’t give up.
Praticar a justiça
O fruto da justiça semeia-se em paz para os que promovem a paz. Os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os justos.
When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice.
If you have sinned, you should tell each other what you have done. Then you can pray for one another and be healed. The prayer of an innocent person is powerful, and it can help a lot.
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can’t make up your mind.
The Lord loves justice,
and he won’t ever desert
his faithful people.
He always protects them,
but destroys the children
of the wicked.
If you obey the Lord,
he will watch over you
and answer your prayers.
They won’t ever be troubled,
and the kind things they do
will never be forgotten.
The Way to Happiness
God blesses those people
who refuse evil advice
and won’t follow sinners
or join in sneering at God.
I worship you
with all my heart.
Don’t let me walk away
from your commands.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
God will reward each of us for what we have done.
Don’t be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else.
Even if you have to suffer for doing good things, God will bless you. So stop being afraid and don’t worry about what people might do.
If you are kind only to someone who is kind to you, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners are kind to people who are kind to them.
Don’t fall into the trap
of making promises to God
before you think!
