Morte
A morte é a realidade que todos enfrentam, mas para o cristão ela não é o fim. A Bíblia ensina que Cristo venceu a morte e nos dá a esperança da ressurreição e da vida eterna.
Cristo venceu a morte
Onde está, ó morte, o teu aguilhão? Cristo destruiu o poder da morte e nos deu a vitória pela ressurreição.
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!
The last enemy to be abolished is death.
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.
For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
This saying is trustworthy:
For if we died with him,
we will also live with him;
Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
A esperança da vida eterna
Jesus disse: 'Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida.' Quem crê nele não está morto, mas apenas adormecido — e um dia despertará para a glória.
Jesus said to her, "I amthe resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me,even if he dies, will live.Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.Do you believe this? "
Jesus said to her, "I amthe resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me,even if he dies, will live.Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.Do you believe this? "
My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.I give them eternal life,and they will never perish.No one will snatchthem out of my hand.
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.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, , with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Não temas a morte
Não temas os que matam o corpo. Para o cristão, viver é Cristo e morrer é lucro. O vale da sombra da morte não assusta quem caminha com o Pastor.
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.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it.
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
I am torn between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ — which is far better — but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of his glorious body, by the power that enables him to subject everything to himself.
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.
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.
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
A eternidade nos aguarda
Deus enxugará toda lágrima. A morte será o último inimigo destruído. Para os salvos, a morte é a porta de entrada na presença eterna de Deus.
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: , Look, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples, , and God himself will be with them and will be their God. 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.
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.
And just as it is appointed for people to die once — and after this, judgment —
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.
For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
A morte na perspectiva bíblica
Há tempo de nascer e tempo de morrer. A morte é realidade humana, mas Deus é Senhor tanto dos vivos quanto dos mortos.
A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.
He will enter into peace —
they will rest on their beds —
everyone who lives uprightly.
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
a light has dawned
on those living in the land of darkness.
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die."
What courageous person can live and never see death?
Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah
Where can I go to escape your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death;
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames —
an almighty flame!
"I am now going the way of the whole earth, and you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises the Lord your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.
For I take no pleasure in anyone’s death." This is the declaration of the Lord God. "So repent and live!
And Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.", Saying this, he breathed his last.
And being in tormentin Hades,he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off, with Lazarus at his side.‘Father Abraham! ’he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agonyin this flame! ’
Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
