Promessas
As promessas de Deus são firmes e verdadeiras. Nenhuma delas jamais falhou. A Bíblia é um livro de promessas — de amor, proteção, provisão e vida eterna para os que creem.
A fidelidade de Deus
De todas as boas promessas que o Senhor fez, nenhuma falhou. Ele é fiel para cumprir tudo o que prometeu desde a eternidade.
14 And, look, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you{} know in all your{} hearts and in all your{} souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your{} God spoke concerning you{}; all have come to pass to you{}, not one thing has failed of them.
9 Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving-kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
24 Faithful is he who calls you{}, who will also do it.
23 let us hold fast the confession of the unwavering hope; for he who promised is faithful:
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you{} may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by desire.
Promessas de cuidado e proteção
Deus prometeu estar conosco nas águas e no fogo, fortalecer-nos e nos segurar com a destra da sua justiça. Nada nos separará do seu amor.
10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you; don't be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, neither will the flame kindle on you.
31 but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings as eagles; they will run, and not be weary; they will walk, and not faint.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you{}, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you{} hope in your{} latter end.
Promessas de salvação e vida eterna
A promessa suprema de Deus é a vida eterna em Cristo. Quem crê no Filho tem a vida eterna e a certeza da ressurreição.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he who believes on me, though he dies, yet he will live;26 and whoever lives and believes on me will never die. Do you believe this?
20 Look, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
5 He who overcomes will thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we will be. We know that, if he will be manifested, we will be like him; for we will see him even as he is.3 And everyone who has this hope [set] on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Aliança inabalável
Desde a aliança com Noé até a nova aliança em Cristo, Deus sempre cumpre sua Palavra. Ele nos restaura e nos aperfeiçoa pela graça.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you{}; neither will all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of the flood; neither will there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.
13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it will be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you{} to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you{} have suffered a little while, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, [and] firmly set [you{}].
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is long-suffering toward you{}, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
22 But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
7 And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you{}, I have found no one with such faith in Israel.
8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
