A.B.C do evangelho

Luiz de Carvalho's song 'A.B.C do evangelho' is a creative and didactic exploration of Christian faith, using the alphabet as a framework to convey key theological concepts and biblical narratives. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a significant aspect of the Christian gospel, making the song both an educational tool and a spiritual reflection. The song begins with 'A' for Aliança (Covenant), highlighting Jesus as the Mediator, and 'B' for Boas Novas (Good News), referring to the angel's announcement in Bethlehem. This pattern continues, with each letter representing a different element of the Christian faith, such as 'C' for Calvário (Calvary) and 'D' for Deus (God) who loved the world and gave His Son, Jesus.

The middle section of the song delves into virtues and promises central to Christianity. 'E' stands for Esperança (Hope), 'F' for Fé (Faith), and 'G' for galardão (reward). The song also emphasizes the importance of spreading the gospel, with 'I' for anunciai (proclaim) the message of the cross, and 'J' for Jesus, the most precious name. This part of the song underscores the moral and spiritual values that believers are encouraged to embody and share.

In the final verses, the song shifts focus to eschatological themes and the ultimate destiny of believers. 'L' speaks of Luz (Light) from heaven, 'M' of Moradas (Mansions) prepared by Jesus, and 'N' of Nação eleita (chosen nation) in the eternal city of love. The song concludes with a call to action and vigilance, urging believers to be Zelosos (zealous) in their faith as they await the return of Jesus. Through its alphabetic structure, 'A.B.C do evangelho' provides a comprehensive and memorable overview of Christian doctrine, making it a valuable resource for both personal reflection and communal worship.
