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 even the Son of Man did not come 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 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the high priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death19 and will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and on the third day he will be raised."
28 They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,29 twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
46 Then Jesus said in a loud voice, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit." After saying this, he breathed his last.
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down his life for his friends.
6 For while we were still without strength Christ, at the due time, died for the unrighteous.
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 for you know that you were not ransomed with perishable things, silver or gold, from your purposeless life handed down from your forefathers,19 but by precious blood, as of a faultless, spotless lamb, the blood of Christ,
28 so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through an eternal Spirit offered himself an unblemished sacrifice to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works for the service of the living God.
7 If we live 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 among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,
2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God yielding a fragrant odor.
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all sin and purify us as his own people earnest in honorable work.
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 yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.
24 He who chooses to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
13 Go and learn what this means: 'I wish for kindness, and not for sacrifice.' I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners."
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him graciously give us all things?
36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee. Take away this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."
24 But I do not hold my life as of any account if only I may finish my race and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of the grace of God.
