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 have known your works, that neither cold are you nor hot; I would you wert cold or hot.16 So -- because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth;

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 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.
38 and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
7 be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! and purify hearts, you two-souled!
