Jesus Christ came to earth as a messenger from God the Father, delivering not His own words, but the words that the Father gave Him. His message was not primarily about Himself, but rather the good news of the Kingdom of God, the very best news that could be heard today, which the Father ordained to be announced on earth. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the message of good news that He preached, centered on the establishment of God's Kingdom, a nation with citizens, land, laws, and government. Ignoring this message that He brought from the Father leads to a distorted faith that cannot bring salvation.

Jesus Christ came to this earth as a Messenger from God the Father. As Messenger, He did not speak His own words. The message He brought is about the good news of the Kingdom of God that the Father ordained to be announced on earth. The inspired Word of God makes it clear that the good news Jesus brought is about the Kingdom of God. Jesus came to Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying that the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Proclaiming this good news was His customary activity as He went through every city and village preaching and bringing glad tidings of the kingdom of God. Jesus stated plainly that He must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also because for this purpose He had been sent. Even in those last days before He ascended to heaven and the church was born, Jesus used His time with the disciples to teach the same message. To the apostles He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. Jesus charged His disciples with the responsibility to preach the kingdom of God, and they followed through as commanded. Later others like the evangelist Philip joined in this effort. The apostle Paul also preached the kingdom of God. The Father's message, purposely given to Jesus to deliver to mankind, had already been corrupted just a few decades after Christ's death. Similarly the gospel Jesus Christ brought has been corrupted in modern times. Rather than focusing on the coming Kingdom of God the message being presented in our day primarily focuses on the Messenger. The message Jesus preached focuses on other important issues besides Himself. God intends the title gospel of the Kingdom of God to fix attention on the issue He wants to be the focus of lives after people are called and converted since it is the only hope for the resolution of mankind's numerous and presently unsolvable problems. The Kingdom of God is of such importance that once its essence is grasped it can honestly be said without exaggeration that it is the theme of the entire Bible.
