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.
6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
29 But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
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.
21 "His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
9 Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.
38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
4 The result of humility and the fear of the LORD
is wealth, honor, and life.
3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor,
and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him,
and brings him before great men.
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.
9 But as it is written,
"Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him."
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
5 and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
32 He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
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.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled.
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a shofar before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
14 Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be with you,
as you say.
6 I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched 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.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live. 13 Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
33 You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
12 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."
