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.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words won’t pass away.
I assure you, until heaven and earth come to an end, not a single letter, not a single dot of the law will come to an end before everything is fulfilled.
However, even though the grass wilts and the flower fades, the word of our God will endure forever."
For: "All people are like grass, and all their glory like wildflowers. The grass withers and the flowers fall. But the word of the Lord remains forever." This word is the good news that was explained to you.
You’ve been born again, not the product of a mortal "seed," but immortal, through the living, eternal word of God. For: "All people are like grass, and all their glory like wildflowers. The grass withers and the flowers fall. But the word of the Lord remains forever." This word is the good news that was explained to you.
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.
Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual, for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways, has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
I also concluded that everything God does lasts forever: nothing can be added to it or taken away from it. God acts in this way so that people may stand in awe of 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 keep what you say in mind so I won’t sin against you.
The heavens declare God’s glory; the skies above announce what he has made.
Each day speaks constantly about God’s glory to the next day; each night shares knowledge of God with the next night.
They speak without speech or words; their voice is not audible;
Yet what they say is heard all over the earth; their message goes to the whole world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
It’s like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a fit athlete happy to run a race.
It rises on one side of the heavens and travels across to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
The Lord’s law is beneficial, renewing spiritual life. The Lord’s teaching is trustworthy, making inexperienced people wise.
The Lord’s instructions are right, making people glad. The Lord’s commandments are sincere, helping people see what is good.
What the Lord says is trustworthy, as pure as silver refined seven times in a furnace.
You, Lord will keep the oppressed safe; you will protect us from these kinds of people forever;
What Scripture actually says is: "The message is very close to you—it’s what you talk about and what’s in your mind." In fact it’s this message based on trust that we’re presenting.
Trusting in God comes from hearing—hearing the message of Christ.
It’s not that they haven’t heard. Quite the opposite: "The voices of those speaking for God have been heard all over the earth—their message went out to the whole world."
These Scriptures were written down in the past to help us understand, and to encourage us so that we could wait patiently in hope.
The commands I’m giving you today must stay in your minds. You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you’re at home and when you’re traveling, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well. Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates.
May you know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you’re made full and complete by the fullness of God.
This is what is good, and what pleases God our Savior. He wants everyone to be saved, and come to understand what truth really is.
