Paixão

A Bíblia nos chama a dominar as paixões e desejos da carne. O cristão é chamado a viver pelo Espírito, crucificando as obras da carne e buscando a santidade em tudo.

Crucificar a carne

Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e concupiscências. O domínio próprio é fruto do Espírito Santo.

24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.

Gálatas 5:24

Put Off the Old Behavior

5 Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry,

Colossenses 3:5

11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires which wage war against your soul,

1 Pedro 2:11

4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;

1 Tessalonicenses 4:4,5

Tudo para a glória de Deus

Quer comamos, quer bebamos, tudo deve ser feito para a glória de Deus. Devemos fugir das paixões que guerreiam contra a alma.

31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.

1 Coríntios 10:31

9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.

1 Coríntios 7:9

God Hands Sinful Humanity over to Depravity

26 Because of this, God gave them over to degrading passions, for their females exchanged the natural relations for those contrary to nature, 27 and likewise also the males, abandoning the natural relations with the female, were inflamed in their desire toward one another, males with males committing the shameless deed, and receiving in themselves the penalty that was necessary for their error.

Romanos 1:26,27

3 For there will be a time when they will not put up with sound teaching, but in accordance with their own desires, they will accumulate for themselves teachers, because they have an insatiable curiosity, 4 and they will turn away from the hearing of the truth, but will turn to myths.
