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 deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day."
28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,29 and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
46 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
6 While we were still 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 You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your 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 as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,
2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.
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 Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.
9 Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;
3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
13 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 with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to thee; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!"
32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, 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; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."
24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
