What was the Gospel that Jesus Preached?

                             

Jesus went about teaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 4: 23). In the one time that Scripture records Him teaching in detail about being born again, He associates it with seeing and entering the kingdom of God (John 3). There is nothing more important than being born again, but true Christians  must come to know and understand that we are born again not only to be restored to God but to enter His kingdom (Colossians 1:13). Presently, there is more than meets the eye of most Christians to why Jesus said that we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6: 33).

Most preachers and members of the various parts of the present day church, especially in the United States, have very little true understanding about the gospel of the kingdom. Parts of the church don’t even understand and/or preach the biblical truth about being born again, but even among those churches who do preach and teach the biblical truth of being born again only a few understand and preach the true gospel of the kingdom.

Caution:  Some will try to wiggle out of this by saying that they have been preaching and teaching about the kingdom of God, but the truth is that they have been preaching and teaching another gospel of the kingdom. The subject and the substance have to both be biblically true!

In conclusion, I encourage each true Christian to ask the Lord Jesus to give them spiritual revelation and understanding of the gospel of the kingdom and its importance as you study the word and what it says about Jesus and the gospel of the kingdom.  Matthew 24: 14 is one of the Scriptures that highlight its importance.  Also look again at how Luke summed up the ministry of the apostle Paul (Acts 28: 23, 31).

Remember the caution above because the enemy of Jesus and the body of Christ does not want you to know the gospel of the kingdom and he and his agents, human and otherwise, will do all they can to deceive you about the gospel of the kingdom and to distract you from becoming a witness both of Jesus and the kingdom of God.  Victory in Jesus!
