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.
17 From that time Iesus began to preach, and to say, Amende your liues: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdome of God is at hand: repent and beleeue the Gospel.
9 And heale the sicke that are there, and say vnto them, The kingdome of God is come neere vnto you.
7 How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
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.
