Vida
A vida é um dom precioso de Deus. Desde a concepção até a eternidade, as Escrituras revelam o propósito, o valor e a plenitude da vida que o Senhor nos oferece.
Deus, o autor da vida
O Senhor é quem dá a vida e a sustenta. Cada ser humano foi formado por suas mãos com propósito e intenção divina.
7 And the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
13 For thou possessest my reins: thou hast covered me in my mothers womb.14 I will thank thee therefore, that I am so fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.15 My being was not concealed from thee, when I was made in secret, when I was so to say embroidered in the lowest parts of the earth.16 My undeveloped substance did thy eyes see; and in thy book were all of them written downthe days which have been formed, while yet not one of them was here.
9 (36:10) For with thee is the source of life: in thy light shall we see light.
33 I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
A vida em Cristo
Jesus é o caminho, a verdade e a vida. Nele encontramos sentido, plenitude e a promessa de vida abundante e eterna.
Vivendo com sabedoria
A Bíblia nos orienta a viver com sabedoria, aproveitando bem o tempo, guardando o coração e buscando a vontade de Deus para cada dia.

8 He that getteth intelligence loveth his own soul: he that guardeth understanding will find happiness.
3 He that watcheth his mouth guardeth his soul; but he that openeth wide his lips prepareth himself destruction.
17 On the way unto life is he that observeth correction; but he that forsaketh reproof is in error.
27 The fear of the Lord is the source of life, teaching to avoid the snares of death.
21 He that pursueth righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
A vida no dia a dia
Cada dia é uma oportunidade de glorificar a Deus. A Escritura nos chama a viver com propósito, confiança e fé prática.
4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.
6 Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
26 Though my flesh and my heart should fall; yet the rock of my heart, and my portion will be God for ever.
7 The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.8 The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
3 (31:4) For my rock and my stronghold art thou; and for the sake of thy name lead me, and guide me.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
7 Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.
93 Never will I forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast kept me alive.
Prioridades e eternidade
Jesus nos lembra que a vida é mais que comida e o corpo mais que roupa. O que importa é buscar o Reino de Deus e viver para a eternidade.

4 (39:5) Let me know, O Lord, my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I wish to know when I shall cease to be.5 (39:6) Behold, measured out with the span hast thou made my days; and my whole duration is nothing before thee: yea, as nothing but vanity doth every man stand here. Selah.6 (39:7) As nothing but a shadowy image doth man walk about, yea, for vanity only do all make a noise: he heapeth up his gains, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
12 (34:13) Who is the man that desireth life, loveth many days, that he may see happiness?13 (34:14) Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.14 (34:15) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
