Recompensa
Deus recompensa os que o buscam com fé. A Bíblia está repleta de promessas de recompensa para os fiéis, os generosos, os perseverantes e os que servem ao Senhor de todo coração.
Deus recompensa a fé
Sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus, porque quem dele se aproxima precisa crer que Ele existe e recompensa os que o buscam diligentemente.
But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and rewards everyone who searches for him.
Trials and Temptations
God will bless you, if you don’t give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as he rewards everyone who loves him.
If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won’t correct you for asking.
In all of your troubles, you may finally decide that you want to worship only the Lord. And if you turn back to him and obey him completely, he will again be your God.
Ask, Search, Knock
Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.
Recompensa pelo serviço
O Senhor vê cada ato de fidelidade e promete galardão aos que servem com dedicação. O servo bom e fiel será honrado.
"Wonderful!" his master replied. "You are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness!"
Do your work willingly, as though you were serving the Lord himself, and not just your earthly master. In fact, the Lord Christ is the one you are really serving, and you know he will reward you.
My dear friends, stand firm and don’t be shaken. Always keep busy working for the Lord. You know that everything you do for him is worthwhile.
Don’t get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don’t give up.
But many who are now first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
God will reward each of us for what we have done.
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.
If you give to others, you will be given a full amount in return. It will be packed down, shaken together, and spilling over into your lap. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated.
If you are kind only to someone who is kind to you, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners are kind to people who are kind to them.
Heal the sick, raise the dead to life, heal people who have leprosy, and force out demons. You received without paying, now give without being paid.
God can bless you with everything you need, and you will always have more than enough to do all kinds of good things for others.
Meanness gets you nowhere,
but goodness is rewarded.
Respect and serve the Lord!
Your reward will be wealth,
a long life, and honor.
Let love and loyalty
always show like a necklace,
and write them in your mind.
God and people will like you
and hold you in high esteem.
A gift will get you in
to see anyone.
O que Deus reservou para os seus
Olhos não viram, ouvidos não ouviram o que Deus preparou para os que o amam. Suas recompensas eternas superam toda imaginação.
But it is just as the Scriptures say,
"What God has planned
for people who love him
is more than eyes have seen
or ears have heard.
It has never even
entered our minds!"
My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and you will understand the hope given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all God’s people.
Living as the Lord’s Followers
We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God’s own power, when we learned he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness.
that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.
God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won’t he freely give us everything else?
But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give will become in that person a flowing fountain that gives eternal life."
You have not asked for anything in this way before, but now you must ask in my name. Then it will be given to you, so you will be completely happy.
But I tell you I am going to do what is best for you. This is why I am going away. The Holy Spirit cannot come to help you until I leave. But after I am gone, I will send the Spirit to you.
I run toward the goal, so I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.
Buscar, pedir, perseverar
Jesus ensinou: pedi e recebereis, buscai e achareis. Deus se alegra em dar boas dádivas aos seus filhos que pedem com fé.
God blesses those people
who want to obey him
more than to eat or drink.
They will be given
what they want!
When you give to the poor, don’t blow a loud horn. That’s what show-offs do in the synagogues and on the street corners, because they are always looking for praise. I can assure you that they already have their reward.
When you pray, go into a room alone and close the door. Pray to your Father in private. He knows what is done in private and will reward you.
If you really want to live,
you must stop doing wrong
and start doing right.
I, the Lord God All-Powerful,
will then be on your side,
just as you claim I am.
Then I lift my hands in prayer,
because my soul is a desert,
thirsty for water from you.
Contentamento e eternidade
A verdadeira recompensa está na vida que Deus dá. O presente do trabalho, a satisfação no labor e a alegria no Senhor são dádivas de Deus.
I know the best thing we can do is to always enjoy life, because God’s gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do.
What is the best thing to do in the short life God has given us? I think we should enjoy eating, drinking, and working hard. This is what God intends for us to do.
Suppose you are very rich and able to enjoy everything you own. Then go ahead and enjoy working hard—this is God’s gift to you.
Follow them, because they make a path that will lead to a long successful life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Faith in the Lord
We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.
Be humble in the presence of God’s mighty power, and he will honor you when the time comes.
Be humble in the Lord’s presence, and he will honor you.
Sin pays off with death. But God’s gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.
But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don’t need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do.
We are here to tell you about all this, and so is the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to everyone who obeys God.
Moses on Mount Sinai
The Lord said to Moses, "Come up on the mountain and stay here for a while. I will give you the two flat stones on which I have written the laws that my people must obey."
