O plano de Deus para os filhos

(Lucas 1.6) Os pais devem ser justos diantes de Deus

O que define a justiça?

A justiça de Zacarias e Isabel era uma observancia completa da lei de Deus.

Mas a justiça deles ia além das aparencias

Eles eram fieis diante de Deus, diante da vsita de Deus. Não somente diante dos homens.

The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 5 Before God

In the case of Zacharias and Elisabeth, however, their “righteousness” exceeded that of the scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), who did their good deeds to be “seen of men” (Matt. 6:1, 5). Zacharias and Elisabeth were righteous “before God.” They were noble successors to heroes of faith such as Noah (Gen. 6:9; 7:1; Heb. 11:7), Abraham (Heb. 11:8), Job (Job 1:8; 2:3), and Daniel (Dan. 5:11, 12; 10:11), of whose righteousness Heaven approved (see Eze. 14:14

Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible: Complete and Unabridged in One Volume Luke 1:57–66

Lastly, It is said, The hand of the Lord was with him; that is, he was taken under the special protection of the Almighty, from his birth, as one designed for something great and considerable, and there were many instances of it. It appeared likewise that the Spirit was at work upon his soul very early. As soon as he began to speak or go, you might perceive something in him very extraordinary. Note, God has ways of operating upon children in their infancy, which we cannot account for. God never made a soul but he knew how to sanctify it.
