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.
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.
Effective Prayer
"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be 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.
"The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
He will judge everyone according to what they have 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 receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."
And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much!
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
Evil people get rich for the moment,
but the reward of the godly will last.
True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life.
Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation.
Giving a gift can open doors;
it gives access to 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.
That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him."
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
Growing in Faith
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."
You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocatewon’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
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 who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.
When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Do what is good and run from evil
so that you may live!
Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper,
just as you have claimed.
I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude
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.
So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.
Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.
Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him."
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I have inscribed the instructions and commands so you can teach the people."
