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.
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
"O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?"
The sting of death is sin, and the strength 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 through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be inthelikeness 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.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect 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.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Eachone walking in his uprightness.
For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
Yet 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 principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
