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 as a ransom for many."
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
18 "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."
28 They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
6 For while we were yet weak, 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.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,19 but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for 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 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
9 Honor the Lord with your substance,with the first fruits of all your increase:
3 To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.I will pay that which I have vowed.Salvation belongs to the Lord."
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
24 But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
