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 proclaim and to say, Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.
15 and saying -- Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.
9 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.
7 How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, Reigned hath thy God.
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 and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honour and glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.
11 To Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;
10 Who [is] He -- this king of glory? Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
22 For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king -- He doth save us.
9 And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, 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 to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
33 but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;
10 Happy those persecuted for righteousness sake -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
19 and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been 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 Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-[stone],
32 Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
6 Happy and holy [is] he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
9 have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.
