Ouvir a voz de Deus
Ouvir a voz de Deus é o privilégio supremo do cristão. Ele fala por sua Palavra, pelo Espírito e em circunstâncias — e as ovelhas reconhecem a voz do bom Pastor.
As ovelhas ouvem a voz do Pastor
Jesus disse: minhas ovelhas ouvem minha voz, eu as conheço e elas me seguem. A relação com Deus é íntima e pessoal.
My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me,
One of the prophets wrote, "God will teach all of them." And so everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him will come to me.
Anyone who belongs to God will listen to his message. But you refuse to listen, because you don’t belong to God.
I tell you for certain that everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned. They have already gone from death to life.
I tell you for certain the time will come, and it is already here, when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen to it will live!
The Word of Life
In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.
The Word was with God
and was truly God.
The Word became
a human being
and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory,
the glory of the only Son
of the Father.
From him the complete gifts
of undeserved grace and truth
have come down to us.
Deus fala pela Palavra
Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus. A Bíblia é a voz confiável de Deus registrada para nos guiar em toda verdade.
Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God’s servants to do all kinds of good deeds.
But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures. The prophets did not think these things up on their own, but they were guided by the Spirit of God.
No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.
Two Builders
Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it was built on solid rock, and so it did not fall.
Jesus replied, "That’s true, but the people who are really blessed are the ones who hear and obey God’s message!"
Buscar e ouvir
Deus promete: 'Clama a mim, e te responderei.' Quando buscamos sinceramente sua voz, encontramos direção e revelação.
Ask me, and I will tell you things that you don’t know and can’t find out.
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice saying, "This is the road! Now follow it."
and said:
Today the Lord our God has shown us how powerful and glorious he is. He spoke to us from the fire, and we learned that people can live, even though God speaks to them.
The voice of the Lord
echoes over the oceans.
The glorious Lord God
thunders above the roar
of the raging sea,
and his voice is mighty
and marvelous.
The voice of the Lord
destroys the cedar trees;
the Lord shatters cedars
on Mount Lebanon.
I pray to you, and you answer
from your sacred hill.
