Sacrifício
O sacrifício é o coração do evangelho. Jesus entregou tudo por nós na cruz, e somos chamados a oferecer nossas vidas como sacrifício vivo, agradável a Deus.
O sacrifício supremo de Cristo
Jesus deu a própria vida como resgate por muitos. Seu sacrifício na cruz é o ato supremo de amor de toda a história — o Justo morrendo pelos injustos.
45 For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
28 Just as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scholars. And they will condemn him to death,19 and will deliver him to the Gentiles to ridicule, and to scourge, and to crucify. And the third day he will rise.
28 And having stripped him, they put a scarlet robe on him.29 And having woven a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And having knelt down before him, they ridiculed him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!
46 And Jesus, having sounded out in a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands I entrust my spirit. And having said these things, he expired.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends.
6 For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.
O cordeiro sem defeito
Cristo nos resgatou com seu sangue precioso, como cordeiro sem defeito. Ele se ofereceu uma vez por todas para tirar os pecados do mundo.
18 Knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain behavior inherited from fathers, not with perishable silver or gold,19 but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted--of Christ,
28 so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.
14 how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.
3 For I delivered to you at first what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,4 and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third day according to the scriptures,
2 And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.
14 who gave himself for us, so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a special people, a zealot of good works.
Nosso sacrifício em resposta
Movidos pelo amor de Cristo, somos chamados a oferecer nossas vidas, nossos bens e nosso serviço como sacrifício vivo. Deus se agrada da entrega generosa.
13 And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life because of me, this man will save it.
9 Honor LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase,
3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to LORD than sacrifice.
13 But after going, learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of LORD.
32 He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee. Remove this cup from me, but not what I want, but what thou want.
24 But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good-news of the grace of God.
