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 Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel.
9 and heal the sick that are therein and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace, that brings good tidings of good, that publishes saving health, that saith unto Zion, Thy 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.
17 Therefore unto the King forever, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the honour, for all things in the heavens and in the earth [are thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of the hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah.:
22 For the LORD [shall be] our judge, the LORD [shall be] our lawgiver, the LORD shall be our king; he himself will save us.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD shall 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.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a person be born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Unless a man is born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.
10 Blessed [are] those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever thou shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heaven.
Cidadãos do Reino
Os cristãos são concidadãos dos santos e membros da família de Deus, chamados a viver dignamente do Reino que receberam.
19 Now therefore ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God,20 and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,
32 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
6 Blessed and holy [is] he that has part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
9 Know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals10 nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.
