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.'

15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"
9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
