Não temas
'Não temas' é uma das frases mais repetidas na Bíblia. Deus a pronuncia nos momentos de maior temor, lembrando que sua presença e poder são maiores que qualquer ameaça.
Deus está contigo
Não temas, porque eu sou contigo. Deus repete essa promessa em cada crise, guerra e desafio que seus filhos enfrentam.
Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee; yea, I uphold thee with My victorious right hand.
For I the LORD thy God hold thy right hand, who say unto thee: 'Fear not, I help thee.' Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I help thee, saith the LORD, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.'
Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them; for the LORD thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.'
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding great.'
Coragem diante do perigo
Não tenhas medo — o Senhor teu Deus está no meio de ti, poderoso para salvar. Ele luta por nós e dá forças aos medrosos.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: 'Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack. The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will be silent in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.'
And he answered: 'Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.' And Elisha prayed, and said: 'LORD, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see.' And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for the LORD hath done great things.
But the LORD said unto me: say not: I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
Fé que vence o medo
O medo não vem de Deus. Jesus disse: não temas, crê somente! A fé dissipa o medo e nos conecta ao poder de Deus.
