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 Therefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creation: the old things are passed away; look, they have become new.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit inside me.11 Don't cast me away from your presence; And don't take your holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.
1 I urge you{} therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your{} bodies, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your{} spiritual service.2 And don't be fashioned according to this age: but be transformed by the renewing of your{} mind, that you{} may prove what the will of God is--that [which is] good and acceptable and perfect.
20 and it is no longer I who live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself up for 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 our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you{}, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you{} hope in your{} latter end.
6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your{} requests be made known to God.7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your{} hearts and your{} thoughts in Christ Jesus.
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed worker, correctly handling the word of 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.
6 Be strong and of good courage, don't fear, nor be afraid of them: for Yahweh your God, it is he who goes with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.
13 And Jesus withdrew from there: and great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and [from] beyond the Jordan followed him.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your{} mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
16 Therefore we do not faint; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
