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.
You can’t expect God to be pleased with you if you don’t trust him! Anyone who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who are searching for him.
Happy is anyone who patiently endures temptation, for when they’ve proved that they are trustworthy, they will receive the crown of life which God promises to those who love him.
If any of you need wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to everyone without holding back.
However, if while you’re there you decide to come to the Lord your God, you will find him if you come to him whole-heartedly, with complete commitment.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
I’m telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you’ve received it, and it’s yours.
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.
His master said to him, ‘You’ve done well—you are a good, faithful servant. You have proved yourself trustworthy over small things, so now I’m placing you in charge over many things. Be happy because I’m really pleased with you!’
Do whatever you do really well, as if you’re doing it for God, and not for people, because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You’re serving Christ the Lord!
So my dear brothers and sisters: be strong, stand firm, doing everything you can for the Lord’s work, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord is wasted.
Let’s never tire of doing good, for we’ll reap a harvest at the proper time, if we don’t give up.
For many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
God will make sure everyone receives what they deserve according to what they’ve done.
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.
give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you’re given is measured out, it’s pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive."
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
Heal those who are sick. Resurrect the dead. Cure the lepers. Drive out demons. You received freely, so give freely!
God is able to graciously provide you with everything, so that you will always have all you need—with plenty to help others too.
The wicked earn wages that cheat them, but those who sow goodness reap a genuine reward.
The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.
Hold on to kindness and truth. Tie them around your neck; write them in your mind. That way you’ll gain a good reputation and be appreciated by both God and people.
A gift opens doors for you, and gets you into the presence of important people.
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 as Scripture says, "No one has ever seen, and no one has ever heard, and no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."
May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he’s called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.
Through his divine power we have been given everything that’s important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness.
In this way he’s given us wonderful, priceless promises.
Since we have this hope we’re never disappointed, for God’s love has been poured into us through the Holy Spirit he’s given us.
God, who did not hold back his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, won’t he also freely give us everything?
But those who drink the water I give won’t ever be thirsty again. The water I give becomes a bubbling spring of water inside them, bringing them eternal life."
Until now you haven’t asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.
But I’m telling you the truth: it’s better for you that I go away, for if I don’t the Comforter won’t come to you. If I go away, I will send him to you.
I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God’s invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
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.
Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what is right, for they will be satisfied.
When you give to the poor, don’t be like the hypocrites who blow their own trumpets to announce what they’re doing in the synagogues and in the streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth: they already have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go indoors and close the door, and pray to your Father in private, and your Father who sees what happens in private will reward you.
Do what is right, and not evil, so you may live. Then the Lord God of power will be with you, as you claim he is.
I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. Selah.
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 concluded that there’s nothing better than being happy and looking for the good in life. In addition everyone should eat and drink and enjoy their work—this is God’s gift to us.
But I observed that what is good and right is to eat, drink, and to find enjoyment in the work God gives us here in this life. This is God’s gift to us.
In addition, everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions he also gives the ability to enjoy these gifts, to be grateful for what they are given, and to enjoy the work they do. This is also God’s gift to us.
Follow all the ways the Lord your God has shown you, so that you do well and live long lives in the country that you will occupy.
So we don’t give up. Even though our physical bodies are falling apart, our inner selves are being renewed daily.
Humble yourself before God’s powerful hand so that he will lift you up at the appropriate time.
Be humble before the Lord and he will lift you up.
The wage sin pays is death, but God’s free gift is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
But the anointing you received from him means the Spirit lives in you, and you don’t need to be taught by anyone. The Spirit’s anointing teaches you about everything. It is the truth and not a lie. So live in Christ, just as you’ve been taught!
We are witnesses of what happened, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
Then the Lord told Moses, "Come up the mountain to me, and stay here, so I can give you the stone tablets, with the instructions and commands I have written for them to learn."
