Verdade
A verdade é um dos atributos centrais de Deus e um pilar da vida cristã. Jesus se declarou o caminho, a verdade e a vida. Viver na verdade é viver em liberdade e integridade.
Deus é a fonte da verdade
O Senhor é fiel e verdadeiro em todas as suas palavras. Sua Palavra é a verdade absoluta que ilumina nosso caminho e nos sustenta.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Jesus answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father.
The Word became
a human being
and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory,
the glory of the only Son
of the Father.
From him the complete gifts
of undeserved grace and truth
have come down to us.
The Lord is truthful;
he can be trusted.
Everything God says is true—
and it’s a shield for all
who come to him for safety.
We know that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come and has shown us the true God. And because of Jesus, we now belong to the true God who gives eternal life.
O Espírito da verdade
Jesus prometeu enviar o Espírito Santo, o Espírito da verdade, que nos guia, ensina e nos faz lembrar de tudo o que Cristo disse.
But I tell you I am going to do what is best for you. This is why I am going away. The Holy Spirit cannot come to help you until I leave. But after I am gone, I will send the Spirit to you.
I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help you and will tell you about me.
But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don’t need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do.
God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
A verdade liberta
Jesus prometeu que conhecer a verdade nos torna livres. A mentira aprisiona, mas a verdade de Deus nos conduz à plenitude.
Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
I am determined to be faithful
and to respect your laws.
guide me by your truth
and instruct me.
You keep me safe,
and I always trust you.
Do your best to win God’s approval as a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed and who teaches only the true message.
He wanted us to be his own special people, and so he sent the true message to give us new birth.
Vivendo e falando a verdade
Somos chamados a falar a verdade em amor e a rejeitar toda forma de engano. A integridade nas palavras é marca do cristão.
Love should always make us tell the truth. Then we will grow in every way and be more like Christ, the head
Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.
Only those who obey God
and do as they should.
They speak the truth
and don’t spread gossip;
they treat others fairly
and don’t say cruel things.
Then don’t say cruel things
and don’t tell lies.
If you obey the Lord,
you will always know
the right thing to say.
But no one will trust you
if you tell lies.
Never tell lies or be deceitful
in what you say.
My friends, above all else, don’t take an oath. You must not swear by heaven or by earth or by anything else. "Yes" or "No" is all you need to say. If you say anything more, you will be condemned.
Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it.
If we say we share in life with God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living by the truth.
Nothing brings me greater happiness than to hear that my children are obeying the truth.
Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see.
