Trabalhar para Deus
Trabalhar para Deus vai além do ofício secular. É dedicar a vida inteira — palavras, ações e atitudes — ao serviço do Reino, reconhecendo que cada tarefa pode glorificar o Senhor.
Servindo ao Senhor em tudo
Quando trabalhamos como para Deus, cada ação se torna um ato de adoração. Não importa a tarefa — o que importa é o coração dedicado.
23 and every thing, whatever you may do, from soul work you, as to the Lord and not to men.24 Knowing, that from Lord you will receive the recompence of the inheritance, the for Lord Anointed you serve.
15 Be thou diligent thyself approved to present to the God, a workman unashamed, cutting straight the word of the truth.
22 Become you but doers of word, and not only hearers, deceiving yourselves.
11 and to strive earnestly to be quiet, and to do the things your own, and to work with the own hands of you, as to you we commanded;12 so that you walk becomingly towards those outside, and of nothing need may have.
Chamados para as boas obras
Fomos criados em Cristo Jesus para boas obras, que Deus preparou de antemão para que andássemos nelas. Não somos salvos por obras, mas para obras.
10 Of him for we are a work having been formed in Anointed Jesus for works good, in which before prepared the God that in them we should walk.
16 knowing and, that not is justified a man by works of law, if not on account of faith of Jesus Anointed; and we into Anointed Jesus believed, so that we may be justified by faith of Anointed, and not by works of law; because by works of law not will be justified all flesh.
8 Powerful but the God every favor to make abound to you, that in every thing always allsufficiency having, you may abound in every work good;
12 So that, beloved ones of me, as always you obeyed, not as in the presence of me only, but now much more in the absence of me, with fear and trembling the of yourselves salvation work you out;13 the God for it is the one working in you both the to will and the to work, on account of the goodpleasure.14 All things do you without murmurings and disputings;15 that you may be blameless ones and harmless ones, children of God irreproachable in midst of a generation perverse and having been misguided; to which you appear as luminaries in world,16 a word of life holding out; for a boast to me in a day of Anointed, that not in vain I ran, nor in vain I toiled.
A missão do cristão
O chamado a trabalhar para Deus inclui a Grande Comissão: fazer discípulos de todas as nações, cooperando com Ele na expansão do Reino.
19 Going forth disciple you all the nations, immersing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit;
16 He having believed and having been dipped, shall be saved; he but not having believed, shall be condemned.
9 Of God for we are fellowworkers; of God a farm, of God a building you are.
10 The for all us to appear it is necessary before of the tribunal of the Anointed, that may receive each one the things through the body, according to what was practised, whether good, or bad.
