Misericórdia
A misericórdia de Deus é eterna e inesgotável. Ele se compadece dos que sofrem, perdoa os arrependidos e derrama graça sobre os que não merecem. Grande é a sua fidelidade.
A misericórdia de Deus
Quem é Deus como tu, que perdoa a iniquidade? Ele se deleita em ter misericórdia e não retém a ira para sempre.
Graça e perdão
Onde o pecado abundou, superabundou a graça. Deus convida todos ao arrependimento e promete perdão total aos que confessam.
15 But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus Christ, been showered on many people!
15 What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love for us5 even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
9 but he has told me,"My grace is all you need, for my power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Misericórdia e compaixão
Misericórdia quero e não sacrifício. Deus nos chama a ser misericordiosos como Ele é, perdoando e acolhendo o próximo.
13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’For I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."
21 Then Peter came up and asked him, "Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I have to forgive him? Seven times?"22 Jesus said to him,"I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
14 For if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
