Poder de decisão
Deus nos deu o poder de escolher. A Bíblia mostra que nossas decisões têm consequências eternas e nos chama a escolher sabiamente — a vida, a fé e o caminho de Deus.
A responsabilidade de escolher
Escolhei hoje a quem servireis. Cada decisão molda nosso destino, e Deus nos convida a escolher o caminho da vida e da obediência.
15 "I know your deeds \'97 that you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I shall spew you out of my mouth.
Decisões e consequências
Deus retribuirá a cada um segundo as suas obras. As Escrituras nos alertam que a mornidão espiritual e a resistência ao Espírito têm consequências sérias.
6 He will give to each an award according to his works.7 To those who by constancy in good work seek for glory and honor and immortality he will award life eternal.8 But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger.
51 "You stiff-necked men, uncircumcised in hearts and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so do you.
35 Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.36 You have need of patience so that after doing the will of God you may gain the promised blessing.37 For yet "a little, very little, while, and he who is coming will come and will not delay.38 My righteous man will live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul has no delight in him."39 But we are not of those who shrink back and perish, but of those who have faith and will win their souls.
Decisão e fé
Decida com fé, entregue seus planos ao Senhor e aja com determinação. Deus guia os passos de quem se achega a Ele de coração.
17 Jesus answered them, "If any one wills to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking out of my own mind.
38 Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.8 Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
