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, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying,Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
15 and saying The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near,Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message.
9 And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto themThe kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you.
7 How beautiful, upon the mountains are the feetOf him That bringeth good tidings, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings of blessing, That publisheth salvation,That saith unto Zion, Thy God, hath become king.
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, unto the King of the ages,incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen!
11 Thine, O Yahweh, are Greatness, and Might, and Beauty, and Victory, and Majesty, nay! all in the heavens and in the earth,thine, O Yahweh, is the kingdom, who art exalted above all,as chief;
10 Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. Selah.
22 For, Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh, is our lawgiver,Yahweh, is our king, He will save us!
9 So will Yahweh become king over all the earth,In that day, shall there be one Yahweh, and, his Name, 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 unto himVerily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answeredVerily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
33 But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness,and, all these things, shall be added unto you.
14 But, Jesus, saidSuffer the childrenand do not hinder themto come unto me,for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
19 I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens,and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.
Cidadãos do Reino
Os cristãos são concidadãos dos santos e membros da família de Deus, chamados a viver dignamente do Reino que receberam.
19 Hence, thenno longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God,20 Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself,
32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.
6 Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death, hath no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.
9 Or know ye not that, wrong-doers, shall not inherit, Gods kingdom? Be not deceiving yourselves:neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionersshall inherit, Gods kingdom.
