Medo da morte
O medo da morte é universal, mas Cristo o venceu. A Bíblia ensina que para quem crê, a morte perdeu o aguilhão — não é mais motivo de terror, mas porta para a eternidade com Deus.
Cristo venceu a morte
Jesus assumiu carne e sangue para, pela morte, destruir o que tinha o poder da morte e libertar os que viviam em escravidão pelo medo dela.
Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the devil — and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.
When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place:
Death has been swallowed upin victory.,
Where, death, is your victory?
Where, death, is your sting?,
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of his resurrection.
A promessa da vida eterna
Quem ouve a Palavra e crê já passou da morte para a vida. O amor perfeito lança fora o medo, até o medo da morte.
"Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal lifeand will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.
Jesus said to her, "I amthe resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me,even if he dies, will live.
Truly I tell you, if anyone keeps my word,he will never see death."
For God lovedthe world in this way:He gavehis one and onlySon,so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.
Não temas
Jesus disse: não temais os que matam o corpo. No vale da sombra da morte, o Senhor está conosco como pastor e protetor.
Don’t fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul;rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff — they comfort me.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away.
Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the devilis about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will experience affliction for ten days.Be faithful to the point of death,and I will give you the crownof life.
He will enter into peace —
they will rest on their beds —
everyone who lives uprightly.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.,
As it is written:
Because of you
we are being put to death all day long;
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.,
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
