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.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
Sin and the Child of God
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
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.
Free from Indwelling Sin
Thereis therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that itis good. But now, itis no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits 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.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
A Prayer of Repentance
Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah
The Joy of Forgiveness
Blessed ishewhosetransgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.
Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
Vencendo o pecado
Cristo nos resgatou e nos restaurou. Devemos mortificar as obras da carne, fugir do pecado e prosseguir em santidade.
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
For He made Him who knew no sin tobe sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Knowing the True—Rejecting the False
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
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.
Bear and Share the Burdens
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
Bear and Share the Burdens
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Dealing with a Sinning Brother
"Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

Jesus Warns of Offenses
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
And 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 men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
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 Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
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 homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him."
Pilate’s Decision
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!"
Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him."
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."
