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 ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.«
28 »The Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom in payment for many.«
18 »When we get to Jerusalem,« he said, »The Son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will give orders for him to be put to death.19 »They will turn him over to the heathen to be made sport of and to be whipped. He will be put to death on the stake. The third day he will come back from the dead.«
28 They took off his clothes and dressed him in a scarlet robe.29 They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They placed a rod in his right hand. Then they bowed down on their knees before him. They mocked him, saying: »Long life to the King of the Jews.«
46 Jesus cried with a loud voice: »Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.« After saying this he quit breathing.
13 »No man has greater love then this that a man lay down his life for his friends.
6 While we were yet weak, in due 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 Know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers. The redemption was not with corruptible things like silver or gold,19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ.
28 So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. He will appear the second time without sin to those who look to him for their salvation.
14 The blood of Christ did even more. Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself without blemish to God and cleansed your conscience from dead works. Now we can serve worship the living God.
7 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 First of all, I delivered to you what I also received, how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.4 He was buried, and 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. He was an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling odor.
14 He Jesus Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify a people for himself, who are special people, zealous for good works.
