Gospel of the Kingdom or Gospel of Grace …
is there a difference?
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom is the good news that the Kingdom (of Israel) was to be established with the Messiah ruling from David’s throne in Jerusalem. It would happen when the Jew (Nation of Israel) accepted the Lord Jesus as their Messiah.
This began when Peter made his declaration of who Jesus was.
Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
It slowed down with the crucifixion of Jesus, but rebounded when he rose from the dead. The Gospel of the Kingdom was presented to Israel during the first 8 chapter of Acts with the Apostles urging Israel to REPENT, be BAPTISED, believe on the NAME of JESUS.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
But the Nation rejected their messiah (However, Many individuals were saved and added to the church).
Saul got saved, became Paul and tried to reach the Jew but was rejected and so he turned to the Gentiles and the Church was established opening up the Gospel of Grace for both JEW and GENTILE to be saved as they Believed in the death, Burial and resurrection (1 Corinithians 15:1-4).
So, this is the Gospel we are to present today, the Gospel of Grace. Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-7, Romans 10:13.
