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, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learnt, comes to me.
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God."
24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life. 25 Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; 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 The Word became flesh and lived amongst us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the 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 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for 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 holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
24 "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. 25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
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 when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."
24 and you said, "Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
3 The LORD’s voice is on the waters.
The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.
4 The LORD’s voice is powerful.
The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.
5 The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars.
Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
4 I cry to the LORD with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
