Mediador
Jesus é o único mediador entre Deus e os homens. Ele é o caminho, a verdade e a vida — ninguém vem ao Pai senão por Ele. Sua intercessão é eterna e perfeita.
O único mediador
Há um só Deus e um só mediador entre Deus e os homens — Cristo Jesus. Ele intercede por nós diante do Pai com autoridade eterna.
There is only one God,
and Christ Jesus
is the only one
who can bring us
to God.
Jesus was truly human,
and he gave himself
to rescue all of us.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Jesus answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father.
Now Christ has been appointed to serve as a priest in a much better way, and he has given us much assurance of a better agreement.
Christ died to rescue those who had sinned and broken the old agreement. Now he brings his chosen ones a new agreement with its guarantee of God’s eternal blessings!
Intercessão e proteção
Jesus rogou ao Pai que nos guarde do mal. O Espírito intercede por nós com gemidos inexprimíveis, e nada nos separa do amor de Cristo.
Father, I don’t ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one.
All of our thoughts are known to God. He can understand what is in the mind of the Spirit, as the Spirit prays for God’s people.
I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so Christ could make us acceptable to God.
