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.
For even the Son of Mandid not come to be served, but to serve,and to give his lifeas a ransomfor many.",
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,and to give his life as a ransom for many."
"See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death.They will hand him over to the Gentilesto be mocked, flogged,and crucified, and on the third day he will be raised."
They stripped him and dressed him in a scarlet robe. They twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. And they knelt down before him and mocked him: "Hail, king of the Jews! "
And Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.", Saying this, he breathed his last.
No one has greater love than this: to lay down his lifefor his friends.
For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly.
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.
For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we can serve the living God?
If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.
He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession, eager to do 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.
And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it.
Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest;
Doing what is righteous and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.,For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners."
but as for me, I will sacrifice to you
with a voice of thanksgiving.
I will fulfill what I have vowed.
Salvation belongs to the Lord.
He did not even spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him grant us everything?
And he said, "Abba,Father!All things are possiblefor you. Take this cupaway from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will."
But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.
