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.
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
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.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before 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.
An Exuberant Declaration of Faith
The Lordis my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lordis the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
But You, O Lord, area shield for me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever.
Selah
Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
Look, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the Lord God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.’
for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed onYou,
Because he trusts in You.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he 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.
The Whole Armor of God
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.
Humility Cures Worldliness
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Loving God Under Trials
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
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.
The Race of Faith
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
The Discipline of God
For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard 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 you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Letyour conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
For with God nothing will be impossible."
Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."
When He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
The Coming King
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Their Spiritual State
I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him whoisfrom the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him whois from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
Do Not Love the World
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body withher? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit withHim.
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit whois in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Walking in the Spirit
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
