Nova Aliança: o que é e seus efeitos na vida
O que é a Nova Aliança
A Nova Aliança é o compromisso definitivo de reconciliação que Deus estabeleceu com a humanidade por meio de Jesus Cristo. Diferente do pacto firmado no monte Sinai — gravado em pedras e mantido por sacrifícios de animais —, a Nova Aliança transforma o interior do ser humano, concede perdão total dos pecados e garante acesso direto a Deus pela graça.
Séculos antes da vinda de Cristo, o profeta Jeremias anunciou que o modelo antigo, quebrado constantemente pelo povo, seria substituído por uma aliança gravada na própria consciência e no coração de quem crê.
Behold, the days come, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that I will make a new covenant with the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and with the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband unto them, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):
But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; After those days, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
A carta aos Hebreus explica que essa mudança não foi um improviso, mas o plano definitivo de Deus. Jesus assumiu o papel de fiador dessa aliança superior, tornando o antigo sistema cerimonial superado e desnecessário.
By so much was Yeshua [God is Salvation] made a surety of a better testament (a covenant, ratified in death).(Hebrews 7:22)
But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.(Hebrews 8:6,7)
In that he says, A new [covenant], he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old [is] ready to vanish away.(Hebrews 8:13)
Como a Nova Aliança foi selada
Na noite anterior à sua crucificação, durante a Última Ceia, Jesus apresentou aos discípulos o sentido de sua morte. Ao erguer o cálice com vinho, Ele associou diretamente o seu sangue ao cumprimento da aliança prometida pelos profetas.
He took the cup, gave praise to his Father, gave it to them, and said: "Drink from this, all of you".
"This is my blood of the new covenant which will be poured out for many for the atonement of sins"(Gosel 26:27,28)
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death) in my blood, which is shed for you.(Luke 22:20)
Na tradição bíblica, nenhuma aliança era inaugurada sem derramamento de sangue. O sistema mosaico dependia de sacrifícios diários no tabernáculo, que serviam apenas como lembrete temporário do pecado, sem poder para purificar a consciência. A morte de Jesus encerrou esse ciclo: Ele ofereceu um sacrifício perfeito, único e eterno.
How much more shall the blood of Moshiach [Messiah], who through the eternal Spirit [Ruach] offered himself without spot to God-The Father, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God-The Father?
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament (a covenant, ratified in death), they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.(Hebrews 9:14,15)
For where a testament (a covenant, ratified in death) [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament (a covenant, ratified in death) [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.
Whereupon neither the first [testament (a covenant, ratified in death)] was dedicated without blood.
For when Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament (a covenant, ratified in death) which God-The Father has enjoined unto you.(Hebrews 9:16-20)
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year.
For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.(Hebrews 10:1-4)
Os efeitos da aliança na vida diária
A Nova Aliança traz consequências práticas para a vida de quem confia em Cristo. O apóstolo Paulo contrastou a lei escrita — que apontava a falha humana mas não dava poder para superá-la — com a ação do Espírito Santo, que vivifica e capacita o crente a viver de forma agradável a Deus.
And such trust have we through Moshiach [Messiah] to God-The Father-ward (in custody, with a guard; prison):
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God-The Father;
Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death); not of the letter, but of the Spirit [Ruach]: for the letter kills, but the Spirit [Ruach] gives life.(2 Corinthians 3:4-6)
Por meio do sacrifício de Jesus, barreiras étnicas e espirituais foram desfeitas: quem estava distante das promessas de Deus foi acolhido na mesma família de fé. O resultado desse pacto não é a mera observância de ritos, mas uma nova criação espiritual e o ministério contínuo de reconciliação com o próximo.
Therefore if any man [be] in Moshiach [Messiah], [he is] a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things [are] of God-The Father, who has reconciled us to himself by Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God-The Father was in Moshiach [Messiah], reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Moshiach [Messiah], as though God-The Father did beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) [you] by us: we pray [you] in Moshiach [Messiah]’s stead, be you2f reconciled to God-The Father.
For he has made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God-The Father in him.(2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
For what reason remember, that you2f [being] in time past Goyim [Gentiles] in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time you2f were without Moshiach [Messiah], being aliens from the commonwealth of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God-The Father in the world:
But now in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] you2f who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Moshiach [Messiah].(Ephesians 2:11-13)
Herein is love, not that we loved God-The Father, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the Propitiation (sacrifice to pay for sins against God, to satisfy His righteous anger) for our sins.(1 John 4:10)
