Mudança de vida
A mudança de vida é possível em Cristo. Não importa o passado, qual foi o erro ou quão fundo a queda — Deus renova, restaura e transforma completamente aquele que se volta para Ele.
Nova vida em Cristo
Se alguém está em Cristo, nova criação é. Deus nos dá coração novo, mente renovada e esperança para o futuro.
17 So that if any one in Anointed, new creation; the things old passed away, lo, has become new the all things.
1 I entreat therefore you, brethren, through the tender compassion of the God, to present the bodies of you a sacrifice living, holy, wellpleasing to the God, the rational religious service of you;2 and not conform yourselves to take age this, but transform yourselves by the renovation of the mind of you, in order that to prove you, what the will of the God, the good and wellpleasing and perfect.
20 With Anointed I have been crucified; I live but, no longer I, lives but in me Anointed; the but now I live in flesh, by faith I live in the of that son of the God, of that having loved me and having delivered up himself in behalf of me.
Passos para a transformação
A mudança começa com confissão, fé e decisão. Deus é fiel para perdoar e completar a boa obra que começou em nós.
9 If we confess the the sins of us, faithful he is and just so that he may forgive to us the sins, and he may cleanse us from all righteousness.
6 nothing be you overcareful, but in everything by the prayer and by the supplication with thanksgiving the requests of you let be made known to the God;7 and the peace of the God that surpassing all conception, will guard the hearts of you and the minds of you in Anointed Jesus.
15 Be thou diligent thyself approved to present to the God, a workman unashamed, cutting straight the word of the truth.
Coragem para mudar
Não temas, porque Deus está contigo. Ele nos fortalece para sermos sal da terra e nos dá palavras que edificam e transformam.
13 You are the salt of the earth. If but the salt become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? for nothing is it of service any more, except to be cast out, and trodden under foot by the men.
29 Every word rotten out of the mouth of you not let go forth, but, if anything good for a building up of the use, that it may give benefit to those hearing;
16 Wherefore not we faint; but if even the outward of us man is wasted, yet the inward is renewed by day and by day.17 The for momentary lightness of the affliction of us, according to an exceeding on an exceeding agelasting weight of glory works out for us;18 not looking of us the things being seen, but the things not being seen; the things for being seen, transient things; the things but being seen, agelasting things.
