Ler a Bíblia
Ler a Bíblia é essencial para a vida cristã. A Escritura é lâmpada para os pés, alimento para a alma e espada do Espírito. O cristão que lê a Bíblia é transformado pela Palavra.
A importância de ler
Meditar na Palavra dia e noite traz prosperidade e bom sucesso. Ler a Bíblia ilumina o entendimento e fortalece a fé.
Long ago I promised the ancestors of Israel that I would give this land to their descendants. So be strong and brave! Be careful to do everything my servant Moses taught you. Never stop reading The Book of the Law he gave you. Day and night you must think about what it says. If you obey it completely, you and Israel will be able to take this land.
Your word is a lamp
that gives light
wherever I walk.
Understanding your word
brings light to the minds
of ordinary people.
I deeply love your Law!
I think about it all day.
Your laws never leave my mind,
and they make me much wiser
than my enemies.
Thinking about your teachings
gives me better understanding
than my teachers,
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.
A Escritura é inspirada
Toda a Escritura é útil para ensinar, corrigir e instruir em justiça. Examine as Escrituras — nelas encontramos a vida eterna.
Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God’s servants to do all kinds of good deeds.
You search the Scriptures, because you think you will find eternal life in them. The Scriptures tell about me,
And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.
God will bless everyone who reads this prophecy to others, and he will bless everyone who hears and obeys it. The time is almost here.
Until I arrive, be sure to keep on reading the Scriptures in worship, and don’t stop preaching and teaching.
Estudar com diligência
Os bereanos eram mais nobres porque examinavam as Escrituras diariamente. O estudo dedicado da Bíblia produz maturidade espiritual.
The people in Berea were much nicer than those in Thessalonica, and they gladly accepted the message. Day after day they studied the Scriptures to see if these things were true.
Ezra had spent his entire life studying and obeying the Law of the Lord and teaching it to others.
After this, the Levites Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah went among the people, explaining the meaning of what Ezra had read.
Jesus answered:
You are completely wrong! You don’t know what the Scriptures teach. And you don’t know anything about the power of God.
Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you’re at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning. Write down copies and tie them to your wrists and foreheads to help you obey them.
Wisdom and Bad Friends
My child, you must follow
and treasure my teachings
and my instructions.
Keep in tune with wisdom
and think what it means
to have common sense.
Beg as loud as you can
for good common sense.
Search for wisdom
as you would search for silver
or hidden treasure.
Then you will understand
what it means to respect
and to know the Lord God.
All wisdom comes from the Lord,
and so do common sense
and understanding.
