Pecado
O pecado é a realidade que separa a humanidade de Deus. Mas a Bíblia também revela a solução: o sangue de Cristo que nos purifica e a graça que nos liberta de toda condenação.
A universalidade do pecado
Todos pecaram e carecem da glória de Deus. Não há justo, nem sequer um. O pecado entrou no mundo por um homem, mas a graça veio por Jesus.
Liberdade da condenação
Não há condenação para os que estão em Cristo Jesus. Ele nos libertou da lei do pecado e da morte para vivermos em novidade de vida.
Jesus answered them: "I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.
Confissão e perdão
Se confessarmos os nossos pecados, Deus é fiel e justo para nos perdoar e purificar de toda injustiça. A confissão liberta a alma.
Vencendo o pecado
Cristo nos resgatou e nos restaurou. Devemos mortificar as obras da carne, fugir do pecado e prosseguir em santidade.
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins."
Because He made the One who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become God’s righteousness.
But, you should not even talk about fornication or any form of moral corruption or insatiableness such things is out of the question, but why can’t we talk about them? If you talk about it you will think about it, which will provide an opening for temptation. (as is fitting for saints);
Do not associate with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose/reprove them. (It is shameful even to speak of those things being done by them in secret.)
‘Be angry but do not sin’; do not let the sun set on your angry mood,
Responsabilidade e restauração
O pecado tem consequências, mas Deus restaura o arrependido. Devemos corrigir uns aos outros com mansidão e cobrir o pecado com amor.
Brothers, if a man is actually caught in some wrongdoing, you, the spiritual ones, should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, watching out for yourself lest you also be tempted.
Brothers, if a man is actually caught in some wrongdoing, you, the spiritual ones, should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, watching out for yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s heavy burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Christ.
"Now if your brother sins against you, go, confront him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have won your brother.

but whoever should cause one of these little ones who believe into me [Greek εις] Me", never "believe in [Greek εν] Me". (In John 3:15 a very few Greek manuscripts of inferior quality have "in", against 99.5% that have "into".) People believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the goodness of man, or whatever, but it does not change their lives. Similarly there are many who say they believe in Jesus, but it makes no difference in their lives. You have to believe into Him—commitment and identification are involved—it is a move from being outside to being inside. to fall, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung on his neck and he were drowned in the depth of the sea!
So why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Fuga do pecado
Bem-aventurado o que não anda no conselho dos ímpios. O caminho do justo é guardado pelo Senhor, e sua Palavra nos protege da queda.
The good man produces the good out of the good treasure in his heart, and the malignant man produces the malignant out of the malignant treasure in his heart; because his mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor swindlers can inherit the Kingdom of God, absolutely.
Pilate then went out again and says to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no crime in him at all." Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate says to them, "Look at the man!" Well when the chief priests and the operatives saw Him they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!" Pilate says to them, "You take and crucify him, because I find no crime in him."
To whomever you forgive the sins, they are forgiven to them; to whomever you retain, they have been retained."
