Valioso
Cada ser humano é precioso aos olhos de Deus. As Escrituras revelam que fomos criados à imagem divina, resgatados por alto preço e chamados para um propósito eterno.
O valor que Deus nos dá
Nosso valor não vem de conquistas ou aparências, mas do fato de sermos amados pelo Criador. Deus cuida até dos passarinhos — quanto mais de nós!
Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground. Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don’t be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.
People are worth much more than sheep, and so it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
Five sparrows are sold for only a few cents, but God doesn’t forget a single one of them. Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don’t be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.
Look at the birds in the sky! They don’t plant or harvest. They don’t even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren’t you worth much more than birds?
Preciosos aos olhos de Deus
O Senhor declara que somos preciosos e valiosos aos seus olhos. Ele nos chama de propriedade exclusiva e nos reveste de glória.
To me, you are very dear,
and I love you.
That’s why I gave up nations
and people to rescue you.
Now if you will faithfully obey me, you will be my very own people. The whole world is mine,
Jerusalem, stand up! Shine!
Your new day is dawning.
The glory of the Lord
shines brightly on you.
O verdadeiro valor
A Bíblia nos ensina que a fé, a integridade e o caráter são mais valiosos que ouro ou prata. O que tem valor eterno transcende o material.
If you are a follower of Christ Jesus, it makes no difference whether you are circumcised or not. All that matters is your faith that makes you love others.
Let love and loyalty
always show like a necklace,
and write them in your mind.
God and people will like you
and hold you in high esteem.
The words of a good person
are like pure silver,
but the thoughts
of an evil person
are almost worthless.
A truly good wife
is the most precious treasure
a man can find!
But I don’t care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work the Lord Jesus gave me to do. And this work is to tell the good news about God’s gift of undeserved grace.
