The True Gospel (Part 5)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Jesus' words in Mark 1:15 deliver an urgent command: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. Believing the gospel is closely tied to having faith, where one trusts and has confidence in its truth. This confidence prompts action in accordance with that belief, resulting in obedience. Heartfelt belief leads to righteousness, which is right doing or godly behavior. Thus, Jesus' command to repent and believe the gospel combines the negative and positive aspects of a single, godly action, urging us to abandon evil and to start living as God expects from those to whom He has revealed His way of life.
