Happy Sabbath - Knowing God

 Sabbath School Lesson

“Knowing God” The whole lesson is about understanding who God really is—His holiness, His love, His power as Creator, and His closeness through Jesus. The Bible shows us His true character so we can trust Him, love Him, and live in friendship with Him.


🌟 Saturday – Introduction

  • Eternal life means knowing God and Jesus (John 17:3).
  • Many people have wrong ideas about God, thinking He is harsh or distant. But the Bible shows He is loving, merciful, and just.
  • Example: A child who only hears bad rumors about their father will be afraid. But when they meet him, they discover he is kind. In the same way, we must know God personally, not just through others’ opinions.

🌟 Sunday – A Clearer Picture of God

  • The Bible is like a window that shows us who God really is.
  • It reveals His power, wisdom, justice, mercy, patience, and love.
  • Satan tries to spread lies about God, just like he did with Eve in Genesis 3:1–5, saying God was hiding something.
  • Example: Imagine someone spreading false gossip to ruin your reputation. Satan does this with God. But the Bible shows the truth: God wants the best for us.

🌟 Monday – God is Holy

  • God is completely pure and separate from evil.
  • His holiness is the foundation of all His qualities.
  • Example: Pure water becomes dirty if contaminated. God is like pure water—always clean, always good.
  • Because He is holy, His power and knowledge are safe and trustworthy.

  • The Bible says God is holy (Leviticus 20:26; 1 Samuel 2:2). That means He is completely separate from evil and sin.

  • Everything God does is good, pure, and just.

  • Practical example: Think of clean, crystal-clear water. If someone throws dirt into it, it’s no longer pure. God is like that pure water—without any stain.

  • Because He is holy, we can trust Him. His power, love, and justice are always good.

🌟 Tuesday – God is Love

  • The Bible says: “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
  • Love is not just one of His traits—it is His very nature.
  • The greatest proof of His love is Jesus, who gave His life for us (John 3:16).
  • Example: A father who risks everything to save his child. God’s love is even greater—He gave His Son for all humanity.

🌟 Wednesday – God and Creation

  • God is the Creator (Genesis 1:1). He is powerful (Elohim) but also close and personal (Yahweh).
  • In Genesis 2:7, He formed humans with His own hands and gave them life.
  • Example: A craftsman carefully shaping something and breathing life into it. That’s how God made us—with care and closeness.
  • This shows God is both great and near.

🌟 Thursday – Emmanuel, God With Us

  • The best way to understand God is to look at Jesus. He said: “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9).
  • Jesus’ life reveals God’s love and care.
  • The name Emmanuel means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
  • Jesus promised: “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).
  • Example: A mother who doesn’t just send letters but goes to be with her child. That’s what God did in Jesus—He came close to us.

🌟 Friday – Additional Study

  • God’s love is infinite—greater than any human love.
  • All human tenderness is just a drop compared to the ocean of His love.
  • Even if we study it forever, we will never fully understand it, but we can experience it daily.
  • Example: Someone donating blood to save another person’s life. Jesus’ sacrifice was even greater—He gave His whole life so we could have hope and salvation.

📌 Weekly Summary

  • Saturday: Eternal life is knowing God.
  • Sunday: The Bible reveals God’s true character.
  • Monday: God is holy—pure and trustworthy.
  • Tuesday: God is love—faithful and shown in Jesus.
  • Wednesday: God is Creator—powerful yet close.
  • Thursday: Emmanuel—God with us through Jesus.
  • Friday: God’s love is infinite—greater than any human love.

Que concessões, mesmo que “pequenas”, podem nos impedir de seguir plenamente o Senhor?

Existem pequenas concessões que, à primeira vista, parecem inofensivas, mas que lentamente enfraquecem nosso coração e nos impedem de seguir o Senhor plenamente — assim como o povo de Israel permitiu que medos, dúvidas e influências externas os afastassem da fidelidade total que Calebe demonstrou. Aqui estão algumas das mais comuns: 🌱 1. Pequenos pecados “tolerados” Coisas que sabemos que não agradam a Deus, mas que justificamos como “não é tão grave”. Ex.: mentiras pequenas, fofocas, impaciência, grosseria, impureza nos pensamentos. Esses “detalhes” moldam nosso caráter. 📺 2. Influências que nos afastam de Deus Conteúdos, amizades ou ambientes que lentamente moldam nossos valores para longe da Palavra. Às vezes não percebemos, mas o coração vai esfriando. 🕒 3. Negligenciar o tempo com Deus Não é uma rejeição aberta, mas pequenas escolhas diárias: “Hoje não vou orar”, “Depois eu estudo a Bíblia.” Aos poucos, a voz de Deus se torna distante. ❤️ 4. Ceder ao medo ou dúvi...
