Pecado: o que a Bíblia diz sobre perdão e liberdade

O que a Bíblia ensina sobre o pecado

O pecado é a ruptura da comunhão entre a pessoa e Deus — errar o alvo estabelecido pelo Criador e transgredir a sua lei. A Escritura mostra a gravidade dessa separação na história humana, mas revela a resposta definitiva: o perdão, a purificação e a liberdade pela graça em Jesus Cristo.

Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,(1 John 3:4)

A universalidade do pecado: a condição humana

Nenhum ser humano consegue se justificar diante de Deus por esforço próprio. Do Antigo Testamento à carta aos Romanos, a Bíblia afirma que toda a humanidade falhou e que a consequência dessa separação é a morte espiritual — suprida apenas pelo dom gratuito de Deus.

And we are as unclean—all of us, || And all our righteous acts [are] as garments of menstruation; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities take us away as wind.(Isaiah 64:6)

for this reason by works of law will no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.(Romans 3:20)

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God— being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,(Romans 3:23,24)

for the wages of sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] continuous life in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 6:23)

Libertação da condenação e do poder do pecado

Jesus ensinou em João 8 que quem vive no pecado se torna escravo dele, e Paulo relata em Romanos 7 o conflito diário de quem tenta vencê-lo sozinho. A resposta bíblica não é o esforço moral, mas a vida no Espírito: por meio de Cristo, o domínio do pecado é quebrado e já não há condenação.

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,(John 8:34)

Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; neither present your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God; for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be! Have you not known that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, servants you are to him to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? And thanks to God, that you were servants of sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were delivered up; and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.(Romans 6:12-18)

What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!(Romans 6:15)

For we have known that the Law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by sin; for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practice, but what I hate, this I do. And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the Law that [it is] good, and now it is no longer I that work it, but sin dwelling in me,(Romans 7:14-17)

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;(Romans 8:1,2)

O caminho da confissão e do perdão

Tentar esconder o erro adoece a alma e afasta da comunhão; confessar traz alívio e cura imediata. Quando Davi confrontou as próprias faltas nos Salmos 32 e 51, descobriu que Deus acolhe o coração contrito, promessa que o apóstolo João reafirma: Deus é fiel e justo para perdoar e purificar todo aquele que traz a culpa à luz.

Whoever is covering his transgressions does not prosper, || And he who is confessing and forsaking has mercy.(Proverbs 28:13)

[His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,(Psalms 19:12)

Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, || And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age. Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, || Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, || For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.(Psalms 25:6,7)

For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, || You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.(Psalms 25:11)

AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, || Whose sin is covered.(Psalms 32:1)

I cause You to know my sin, || And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, "I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions," || And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. Selah.(Psalms 32:5)

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, || According to the abundance of Your mercies, || Blot out my transgressions. Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, || And cleanse me from my sin,(Psalms 51:1,2)

Against You, You only, I have sinned, || And done evil in Your eyes, || So that You are righteous in Your words, || You are pure in Your judging. Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, || And my mother conceives me in sin. Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, || And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom. You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, || Wash me, and I am whiter than snow. You cause me to hear joy and gladness, || You make bones You have bruised joyful. Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.(Psalms 51:4-9)

if we may say, "We have fellowship with Him," and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;(1 John 1:6)

if we may say, "We have no sin," we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us; if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;(1 John 1:8,9)

A vitória de Cristo e a vida prática em santidade

A libertação do pecado é fruto direto da cruz, onde Jesus carregou as nossas transgressões para que vivêssemos para a justiça. Como orientam as cartas aos Efésios e Colossenses, a fé transforma o cotidiano: a pessoa perdoada abandona a mentira, a ira descontrolada e as velhas práticas para andar em luz.

and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."(Matthew 1:21)

He made Him having not known sin [to be] sin in our behalf, that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.(2 Corinthians 5:21)

so also the Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, apart from a sin-offering, for salvation to those waiting for Him!(Hebrews 9:28)

who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree that having died to sins, we may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed;(1 Peter 2:24)

he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;(1 John 3:8)

We have known that everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, but He who was begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him;(1 John 5:18)

Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—(Colossians 3:5)

be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath,(Ephesians 4:26)

and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, do not let it even be named among you, as is proper to holy ones;(Ephesians 5:3)

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict, for it is a shame even to speak of the things done by them in secret,(Ephesians 5:11,12)

Restauração comunitária e responsabilidade com o próximo

Lidar com o erro na convivência exige mansidão, verdade e disposição para perdoar. Jesus ensinou em Mateus 18 o caminho pessoal para corrigir e recuperar quem errou, enquanto Paulo e Tiago exortam a igreja a carregar as cargas uns dos outros com humildade, lembrando que o amor cobre multidão de pecados.

For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;(Matthew 6:14)

And why do you behold the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?(Matthew 7:3)

and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.(Matthew 18:6)

And if your brother may sin against you, go and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he may hear you, you gained your brother;(Matthew 18:15)

Brothers, even if a man may be overtaken in any trespass, you who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself—lest you also may be tempted. Bear the burdens of one another, and so fill up the law of the Christ,(Galatians 6:1,2)

out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing; it does not need, my brothers, these things to so happen;(James 3:10)

Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.(James 4:4)

draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!(James 4:8)

to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.(James 4:17)

Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;(James 5:16)

Before all things, having earnest love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;(1 Peter 4:8)

Vigilância diária e proteção contra a queda

Desde o aviso de Deus a Caim em Gênesis 4 sobre o pecado que "jaz à porta", a Bíblia ensina que a integridade depende de vigilância diária. O Salmo 1 e o Salmo 119 mostram que guardar o coração, alimentar a mente na Escritura e escolher com prudência as companhias sustentam os passos no caminho reto.

Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by Him]]."(Genesis 4:7)

O the blessedness of that one, || Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, || And has not stood in the way of sinners, || And has not sat in the seat of scorners;(Psalms 1:1)

Establish my steps by Your saying, || And any iniquity does not rule over me.(Psalms 119:133)

Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, || And whoever is perverting his ways is known.(Proverbs 10:9)

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his mouth speaks.(Luke 6:45)

Pilate, therefore, again went forth outside and says to them, "Behold, I bring Him to you outside, that you may know that I find no fault in Him"; Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, bearing the thorny garland and the purple garment; and he says to them, "Behold, the Man!" When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate says to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify, for I find no fault in Him";(John 19:4-6)

if you may forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you may retain of any, they have been retained."(John 20:23)

Have you not known that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.(1 Corinthians 6:9,10)
