Reino
O Reino de Deus é o tema central da pregação de Jesus. Desde o início de seu ministério, Ele proclamou: 'Arrependei-vos, porque é chegado o Reino dos céus.'
O anúncio do Reino
Jesus inaugurou seu ministério proclamando a chegada do Reino. Ele convida todos ao arrependimento e à fé nessa nova realidade.
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;repent and believe in the gospel."
Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
A natureza do Reino
O Reino de Deus é governo soberano do Senhor sobre todas as coisas. Ele é o Rei eterno, imortal e invisível.
To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah
For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;
the Lord is our king; he will save us.
And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.
Entrar no Reino
Para entrar no Reino é preciso nascer de novo, tornar-se como criança e buscar primeiro a justiça de Deus acima de tudo.
Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born againhe cannot see the kingdom of God."
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosedin heaven."
Cidadãos do Reino
Os cristãos são concidadãos dos santos e membros da família de Deus, chamados a viver dignamente do Reino que receberam.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
