A Palavra de Deus
A Palavra de Deus é viva, eficaz e eterna. Desde 'No princípio era o Verbo' até 'O céu e a terra passarão, mas as minhas palavras não hão de passar', ela é a revelação suprema do Criador.
No princípio era o Verbo
A Palavra é Deus encarnado. No princípio era o Verbo, o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus. Todas as coisas foram feitas por Ele.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
A Palavra é viva e eficaz
A Palavra de Deus é mais cortante que espada de dois gumes. Ela julga pensamentos e intenções do coração, transforma e liberta.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

"Is not My word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that smashes a rock?"
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Toda Escritura é inspirada

Luz para o caminho
A Palavra é lâmpada para os pés e luz para nosso caminho. Ela ilumina, orienta e protege o que nela medita dia e noite.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
The unfolding of Your words gives light;
it informs the simple.
Your word, O LORD, is everlasting;
it is firmly fixed in the heavens.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to Your word.
I have hidden Your word in my heart
that I might not sin against You.
The entirety of Your word is truth,
and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

Obedecer a Palavra
Seja praticante da Palavra e não apenas ouvinte. Jesus disse que quem ouve e pratica é como o homem sábio que edificou sobre a rocha.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
But Jesus answered, "It is written:
‘Man shall not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"
But Jesus answered, "It is written:
‘Man shall not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"
But He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
But Jesus answered, "It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’"
All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, "What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"
A Palavra que permanece
Céus e terra passarão, mas as palavras de Jesus jamais passarão. A Palavra do Senhor permanece para sempre — eterna e infalível.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever."
For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all His work is trustworthy.
For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all His work is trustworthy.
Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

O poder da Palavra
A Palavra transforma, sara e liberta. Quem permanece na Palavra de Jesus conhece a verdade, e a verdade o liberta.
So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death."
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
And many more believed because of His message.
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’"
Meditar na Palavra
A meditação na Palavra traz prosperidade e bom sucesso. Ela é fonte de sabedoria, consolo e orientação para toda a vida.
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
Your words were found, and I ate them.
Your words became my joy
and my heart’s delight.
For I bear Your name,
O LORD God of Hosts.
that if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
In God, whose word I praise —
in God I trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
As for God, His way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
You have given me Your shield of salvation;
Your right hand upholds me,
and Your gentleness exalts me.
You broaden the path beneath me
so that my ankles do not give way.
Who is the man who delights in life,
who desires to see good days?
Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from deceitful speech.
He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped,
but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death —
even death on a cross.
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name above all names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing. I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs. For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel. So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me. And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs. For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious. Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.
Palavras de vida
As palavras de Deus são espírito e vida. Quem fala deve falar como oráculos de Deus, com verdade, sabedoria e edificação.
Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man,
but a good word cheers it up.
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled;
with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal. Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did:
"Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world."
