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 Heaven is at hand.
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draws near. Repent, and believe the gospel.
9 And heal the sick that are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near you!
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, making peace heard; who brings good news, making salvation heard; 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.
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, [the] only wise God, [be] honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
11 O LORD, Yours [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and, the majesty. For all in the heavens and in the earth [is Yours]. Yours [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and You lift up [Yourself] to all as Head.
10 Who [is] this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He [is] the King of glory. Selah.
22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; He will save us.
9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one LORD, and His name shall be 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 to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
14 But Jesus said, Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
10 Blessed [are] they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
19 And I will give the keys of the kingdom of Heaven to you. And whatever you may bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in 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 you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens 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 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
6 Blessed and holy [is] he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.
