Superação
Superar desafios, dificuldades e tentações faz parte da caminhada cristã. A Bíblia nos garante que, em Cristo, somos mais que vencedores em todas as circunstâncias.
Vitória em Cristo
Jesus já venceu o mundo. Nele temos coragem, paz e a certeza de que nenhuma adversidade poderá nos derrotar definitivamente.
I've told you all this so that you may have peace because you are one with me. You will suffer in this world, but be brave—I have defeated the world!"

No—in all that happens to us we're more than conquerors through him who loved us.
but praise God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Everyone who is born of God defeats the world. The way we gain victory and defeat the world is by trusting God.
Loving God means that we follow his commands, and his commands are not hard to bear. Everyone who is born of God defeats the world. The way we gain victory and defeat the world is by trusting God. Who can defeat the world? Only those who trust in Jesus, believing he is the Son of God.

They conquered him through the blood of the Lamb and through their personal testimony—they did not love their lives so much that they were willing to die if necessary.
Superando o mal com o bem
O cristão vence o mal não com violência, mas com o bem. O amor, a fé e a perseverança são as armas da superação.
Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
But praise be to God, who always leads us in a triumphal procession in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet scent of his knowledge wherever we go!
Anyone you forgive, I forgive too. What I have forgiven, whatever it may be, I have forgiven before Christ for your benefit. In this way Satan will not be able to take us in, because we know the tricks he thinks up.
I will have those who are victorious sit down with me beside my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down beside my Father on his throne.
I will have those who are victorious sit down with me beside my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down beside my Father on his throne.
Those who are victorious will be dressed in white like this. Their names will not be removed from the book of life, and I will speak for them in the presence of my Father and his angels.
Força e coragem divina
Deus é nosso escudo e fortaleza. Quando o medo tenta nos paralisar, a presença do Senhor nos fortalece e nos encoraja a prosseguir.
The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.
I do not trust my bow; I do not have confidence in my sword to save me.
You are the one who saves us from our enemies; you defeat those who hate us.
God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.
Lord, please save us! Lord, please make us successful!
May the one who comes in the power of the Lord be blessed! We bless you from the house of the Lord!
Look, the Lord your God has given you the land! Go and take ownership of the land as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, has told you. Don't be frightened or terrified."
For the Lord your God is going with you to fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you the victory."
You will keep in complete peace those who keep their minds focused on you, because they trust in you.
I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Resistindo a tentação
A armadura de Deus nos protege contra as investidas do mal. Resistir ao diabo, vigiar e orar são essenciais para a superação espiritual.
Lastly, stay strong in the Lord, and in his mighty power. Put on all the armor of God so you can withstand all the devil's attacks! We're not fighting against human forces, but against supernatural rulers and powers, the dark lords of this world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. Take every piece of armor God provides so that you may be able to stand your ground in the day of evil and after doing all you can, to find yourself still standing! So stand up, wrap the belt of truth around your waist, tie on the breastplate of justice and the right, and put on the shoes of readiness to share the good news of peace.
Above all, take up the shield of trusting God, by which you'll be able to put out all the devil's flaming arrows. Wear the helmet of salvation, and carry the sword of the Spirit—the Spirit that's the word of God.
So get rid of your former lifestyle, that old nature that ruins you through deceptive desires! Let yourselves be remade spiritually and mentally, and put on your new nature that God created so you will be like him, right and holy in the truth.
Don't sin by getting angry; don't let evening come and find you still mad— and don't give the devil any opportunity.
So place yourself under God's direction. Confront the devil, and he will run away from you. Come close to God and he will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Purify your way of thinking, you people with divided loyalties.
Be humble before the Lord and he will lift you up.
Happy is anyone who patiently endures temptation, for when they've proved that they are trustworthy, they will receive the crown of life which God promises to those who love him. Nobody should say when they're tempted, "I'm being tempted by God." For God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone. Temptations come from our own evil desires that lead us astray and entrap us. Such desires lead to sin, and sin, when it's fully developed, causes death.
You won't experience any greater temptation than anyone else, and God is trustworthy. He won't allow you to be tempted more than you can bear, and when you are tempted, he will provide for you a way out so you can stay strong.
Fight the good fight as you trust in God. Hold on tightly to the eternal life to which you were called. This is what you promised to do in front of many witnesses.
Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
Perseverança até o fim
A corrida da fé exige perseverança. Devemos lançar fora todo peso e olhar para Jesus, o autor e consumador da nossa fé.
For that reason, since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of people who gave evidence of their trust in God, let's get rid of everything that holds us back, the seductive sins that trip us up, and let's keep on running the race placed before us.
Think about Jesus who endured such hostility from sinful people so you don't grow tired and become discouraged.
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, support you, strengthen you, and give you a solid foundation.
Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Who can separate us from Christ's love? Can oppression, distress, or persecution? Or hunger, poverty, danger, or violence?
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, those whom he has called to be part of his plan.
The Lord will rescue me from all the evil things done against me, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. His is the glory forever and ever. Amen.
But the Lord is trustworthy and will strengthen you, and protect you from the evil one.
Descanso e renovação
Jesus convida os cansados e sobrecarregados a descansar nele. Sua graça é suficiente para nos renovar em meio às tribulações.
Come to me, all of you who struggle and who are burdened down. I will give you rest.
Don't love money; be content with what you have. God himself has said, "I'll never let you down; I'll never give up on you."
Nothing is impossible for God."
"Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation."
When he arrived he said to them, "Pray that you don't give in to temptation."
Yes, I have given you power to tread on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome all the enemy's strength, and nothing will harm you.
Stay awake, and pray so you won't fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
Be happy and celebrate, people of Zion! Shout loudly, people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He does what is right and has salvation; he is humble, riding on a donkey—on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Those who sin are of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. That's the reason why the Son of God came—to destroy what the devil has done.
Dear friends, I'm writing to you children, for your sins have been forgiven through the name of Jesus. I'm writing to you fathers, for you know him who has existed from the beginning. I'm writing to you young people, for you have defeated the evil one. I write to you little children, for you know the Father. I write to you fathers, for you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you young people, for you are strong. The word of God lives in you, and you have defeated the evil one.
Don't be in love with the world, and don't long for the things of this world. If you love the world, you won't have the Father's love in you.
Don't you know your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Should I take the parts of Christ's body and join them to a prostitute? Absolutely not! Don't you realize that anyone who has sex with a prostitute becomes "one body" with her? Remember that Scripture says, "The two will become one body." But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit! Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God? You don't belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
My advice is to walk by the Spirit. Don't satisfy the desires of your sinful human nature. For the desires of the sinful nature are opposed to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are opposed to the sinful nature. They fight one another, so you don't do what you want to do.
