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.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
45 It is written in the prophets, And they will all be taught of God. Everyone who has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.
47 He who is of God hears the words of God: for this cause you{} do not hear [them], because you{} are not of God.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you{}, He who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.25 Truly, truly, I say to you{}, The hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, glory as an only begotten from a father, full of grace and truth.
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.
16 All Scripture [is] inspired of God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:17 that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely to every good work.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
17 So belief [comes] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
24 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.25 And she, being put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
28 But he said, On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.
Buscar e ouvir
Deus promete: 'Clama a mim, e te responderei.' Quando buscamos sinceramente sua voz, encontramos direção e revelação.
3 Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don't know.
21 and your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk{} in it; when you{} turn to the right hand, and when you{} turn to the left.
24 and you{} said, Look, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and yet he [still] lives.
3 The voice of Yahweh is on the waters: The God of glory thunders, Even Yahweh on many waters.4 The voice of Yahweh is powerful; The voice of Yahweh is full of majesty.5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, And he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
