Superação: o que a Bíblia diz sobre vencer crises

Por Bíblia Online

Na Bíblia, superação não significa ausência de dor ou força de vontade própria, mas a certeza de que nenhuma aflição tem a palavra final sobre quem confia em Deus. Quem atravessa crises, perdas ou tentações encontra nas Escrituras a promessa de sustento presente e vitória garantida em Cristo.

A vitória que já foi conquistada em Cristo

A esperança cristã não parte da ilusão de que a vida será fácil, mas da declaração de Jesus de que o mundo já foi vencido. Em meio às maiores provações, a vitória do crente está ancorada no que Cristo já realizou na cruz e na ressurreição.

These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."(John 16:33)

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.(Romans 8:37)

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?(1 John 5:3-5)

And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life evenwhen faced with death.(Revelation 12:11)

Vencer o mal com o bem

A superação bíblica contraria a lógica da vingança e do desespero. Diante de injustiças, conflitos e oposições, a resposta do discípulo é o perdão, a retidão e o amor prático, desarmando o mal pela raiz.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.(Romans 12:21)

And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.(John 1:5)

But one whom you forgive anything, I also forgive; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did so for your sakes in the presence of Christ, so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.(2 Corinthians 2:10,11)

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place.(2 Corinthians 2:14)

The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way, in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.(Revelation 3:5)

The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne.(Revelation 3:21)

De onde vem a força para não desistir

Quando os recursos humanos se esgotam e o medo ameaça paralisar, a Bíblia ensina a colocar a confiança não na própria capacidade, mas no socorro divino. Deus se apresenta como refúgio seguro e escudo em meio às tempestades.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom should I fear?

The Lord is the defense of my life;

Whom should I dread?(Psalm 27:1)

But You, Lord, are a shield around me,

My glory, and the One who lifts my head.(Psalm 3:3)

For I will not trust in my bow,

Nor will my sword save me.

But You have saved us from our adversaries,

And You have put to shame those who hate us.

In God we have boasted all day long,

And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah(Psalm 44:6-8)

Please, O Lord, do save us;

Please, O Lord, do send prosperity!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;

We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.(Psalm 118:25,26)

See, the Lord your God has placed the land before you; go up, take possession, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not fear or be dismayed.’(Deuteronomy 1:21)

for the Lord your God is the One who is going with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’(Deuteronomy 20:4)

"The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,

Because he trusts in You.(Isaiah 26:3)

You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.(1 John 4:4)

Resistir às tentações e armadilhas da caminhada

Superar também é vencer as batalhas interiores contra o pecado, o desânimo e os impulsos destrutivos. A Escritura oferece armas espirituais — a verdade, a vigilância e a oração — e garante que nenhuma tentação ultrapassa o limite da graça concedida para resistir.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.(Ephesians 6:10-17)

that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.(Ephesians 4:22-24)

Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.(Ephesians 4:26,27)

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. No one is to say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death.(James 1:12-15)

Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.(James 4:7,8)

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.(James 4:10)

No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.(1 Corinthians 10:13)

Do you not know that your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? Far from it! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "The two shall become one flesh." But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body.(1 Corinthians 6:15-20)

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.(Galatians 5:16,17)

But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction.(1 Timothy 6:9)

Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.(1 Timothy 6:12)

Behold, I have given you authority to walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.(Luke 10:19)

Now when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you do not come into temptation."(Luke 22:40)

and He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you do not come into temptation."(Luke 22:46)

Keep watching and praying, so that you will not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."(Mark 14:38)

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.(1 John 2:12-15)

the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.(1 John 3:8)

Perseverar até o fim olhando para Jesus

A vida cristã é comparada a uma corrida de longa distância, que exige desapego de embaraços e foco constante naquele que iniciou a caminhada. Mesmo sob cansaço severo, a fidelidade de Deus guarda os passos até a linha de chegada.

Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us,(Hebrews 12:1)

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. So resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brothers and sisters who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.(1 Peter 5:8-10)

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.(Romans 8:28)

O descanso prometido aos sobrecarregados

Superação não é sinônimo de exaustão contínua. Para quem carrega fardos pesados demais, o convite de Cristo é parar de lutar sozinho e encontrar descanso e refrigério na Sua presença fiel.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(Matthew 11:28)

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,"(Hebrews 13:5)

He is righteous and endowed with salvation,

Humble, and mounted on a donkey,

Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(Zechariah 9:9)
