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 and to say, "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."
And heal the sick there, 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 proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims 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.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all thatis in heaven and in earth isYours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory.
Selah
(For the Lordis our Judge,
The Lordis our Lawgiver,
The Lordis our King;
He will save us);
And the Lord shall be King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
"The Lordis 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 and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, 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 shall be added to you.
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be 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.
Christ Our Cornerstone
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
"Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
