Preservação das escrituras
A Palavra de Deus permanece para sempre. As Escrituras foram preservadas por Deus ao longo dos milênios para instrução, consolação e guia de todas as gerações.
A Palavra eterna
Céus e terra passarão, mas as palavras de Deus jamais passarão. Sua Palavra é eterna, infalível e imutável — a verdade que sustenta tudo.
The sky and the earth won’t last forever, but my words will.
Heaven and earth may disappear. But I promise you not even a period or comma will ever disappear from the Law. Everything written in it must happen.
Flowers and grass fade away,
but what our God has said
will never change.
The Scriptures say,
"Humans wither like grass,
and their glory fades
like wild flowers.
Grass dries up,
and flowers fall
to the ground.
But what the Lord has said
will stand forever."
Our good news to you is what the Lord has said.
Do this because God has given you new birth by his message that lives on forever. The Scriptures say,
"Humans wither like grass,
and their glory fades
like wild flowers.
Grass dries up,
and flowers fall
to the ground.
But what the Lord has said
will stand forever."
Our good news to you is what the Lord has said.
A inspiração divina
Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus. Homens santos falaram da parte do Senhor, e a Palavra escrita é a expressão fiel da vontade divina.
But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures. The prophets did not think these things up on their own, but they were guided by the Spirit of God.
Long ago in many ways and at many times God’s prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son. God’s Son has all the brightness of God’s own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together.
After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven.
The Word became
a human being
and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory,
the glory of the only Son
of the Father.
From him the complete gifts
of undeserved grace and truth
have come down to us.
Everything God has done will last forever; nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this, so that we will worship him.
A Palavra como guia e tesouro
A Palavra de Deus é lâmpada para os pés, espada do Espírito e tesouro para o coração. Guardá-la e meditá-la nos protege do pecado.
I treasure your word
above all else;
it keeps me from sinning
against you.
The Wonders of God and the Goodness of His Law
The heavens keep telling
the wonders of God,
and the skies declare
what he has done.
Each day informs
the following day;
each night announces
to the next.
They don’t speak a word,
and there is never
the sound of a voice.
Yet their message reaches
all the earth,
and it travels
around the world.
In the heavens a tent
is set up for the sun.
It rises like a bridegroom
and gets ready like a hero
eager to run a race.
It travels all the way
across the sky.
Nothing hides from its heat.
The Law of the Lord is perfect;
it gives us new life.
His teachings last forever,
and they give wisdom
to ordinary people.
The Lord's instruction is right;
it makes our hearts glad.
His commands shine brightly,
and they give us light.
Our Lord, you are true
to your promises,
and your word is like silver
heated seven times
in a fiery furnace.
You will protect us
and always keep us safe
from those people.
All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, "The message is as near as your mouth or your heart." And this is the same message we preach about faith.
No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. But am I saying that the people of Israel did not hear? No, I am not! The Scriptures say,
"The message was told
everywhere on earth.
It was announced
all over the world."
And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.
Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you’re at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning. Write down copies and tie them to your wrists and foreheads to help you obey them. Write these laws on the door frames of your homes and on your town gates.
Worship Only the Lord
Moses said to Israel:
I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.
This kind of prayer is good, and it pleases God our Savior. God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is,
