This is the gospel by which we are saved.

1 Corinthians 15 contains Paul's gospel:

[1Co 15:1, 3-4 KJV] 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; ... 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

We are all sinners who cannot save ourselves.

See Romans 3:23 Titus 3:5 Romans 5:6

[Rom 3:23 KJV] 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

[Tit 3:5 KJV] 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

[Rom 5:6 KJV] 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Christ died for our sins; He was our substitute; He paid the full penalty and debt for our sin by his blood sacrifice.

See 2 Corinthians 5:21 Romans 3:24 Romans 3:25 Romans 3:26

[2Co 5:21 KJV] 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

[Rom 3:24-26 KJV] 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

He was buried.

He rose again for our justification (to declare us righteous) and forgiveness of all our sin. He gives us His righteousness and eternal life.

See Romans 4:25 Ephesians 1:7 Romans 4:22 Romans 4:23 Romans 4:24 1 Corinthians 1:30

[Rom 4:22-25 KJV] 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

[Eph 1:7 KJV] 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

[1Co 1:30 KJV] 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

All we have to do is believe the gospel.

See Romans 4:5 1 Corinthians 1:21 Ephesians 1:13

[Rom 4:5 KJV] 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

[1Co 1:21 KJV] 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

[Eph 1:13 KJV] 13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Believing is being persuaded that something is true.

See Romans 4:20-22

[Rom 4:20-22 KJV] 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

The moment you believe you have eternal life.

Titus 1:1 Titus 1:2 Titus 3:7

[Tit 1:1-2 KJV] 1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

[Tit 3:7 KJV] 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Trust the gospel of your salvation. Place your faith in Jesus Christ, in his blood, in his death and his resurrection.

Hello Doug,

The good news that Jesus preached, often referred to as the "gospel," centers on the arrival of God's Kingdom, the offer of forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life through faith in Him. In the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, we see that Jesus' message was both revolutionary and deeply spiritual.

From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God was at hand. In Mark 1:15, He said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” This Kingdom was not a political realm but a spiritual reign where God's will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus came to announce that this Kingdom had come near and that people could enter it by turning away from their sin and believing in the good news.

Central to Jesus' message was the call to repentance and forgiveness. He repeatedly urged people to repent, for the Kingdom was available to those who turned back to God in humility and faith. In Luke 24:47, after His resurrection, Jesus emphasized that "repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Jesus’ call to repentance was not just about a change of behavior but a transformation of the heart—a radical shift from living in sin to living in alignment with God's will.

But Jesus did not just call people to repent; He also offered them forgiveness. In Matthew 9:13, He said, “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Jesus’ ministry was one of grace, extending forgiveness to the outcasts and sinners, those often rejected by society. His words and actions showed that God’s mercy is greater than any person’s sin, and through Him, forgiveness is available to all.

Another essential aspect of the gospel that Jesus preached was the promise of salvation and eternal life. In John 3:16, Jesus declared, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This was the heart of His mission: to bring eternal life through faith in Him. Jesus taught that this life was not merely a future hope but something that began now, as people entered into a new relationship with God through Him. In John 10:10, He said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus offered more than just a ticket to heaven—He offered a transformed life, marked by His presence and power.

Furthermore, Jesus taught that the essence of the Kingdom of God is love—love for God and love for others. In Matthew 22:37-39, He summarized the law and the prophets by saying, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” The Kingdom of God, according to Jesus, is not about rigid rules or external rituals but about a heart that is transformed by love. To live in God's Kingdom is to love God fully and to love others selflessly.

In His teachings, Jesus emphasized that the Kingdom of God was open to all, regardless of their status, race, or background. He broke down barriers and reached out to those who were often excluded. In Luke 15:7, He said, "I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance." This message of grace and inclusion was radical for its time and is at the core of the gospel He preached. Jesus invited everyone into God's Kingdom, offering them hope and redemption, regardless of their past.

Jesus also spoke of a new covenant that would be established through His death. In Matthew 26:28, during the Last Supper, He told His disciples, “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Through His sacrificial death, Jesus made a way for people to be reconciled to God. Through His blood, sins could be forgiven, and a new, personal relationship with God could be formed.

Jesus spoke of a future hope—the ultimate fulfillment of God's Kingdom, when He would return in glory to judge the world and establish His reign fully. In Matthew 25:31-32, He described His return as a time when He would separate the righteous from the unrighteous. This hope of the second coming and the full realization of God's Kingdom motivated Jesus' followers to live lives of faith, readiness, and obedience.

Thus, the good news that Jesus preached was a message of transformation. It was the announcement that the Kingdom of God had arrived in Him, and through repentance, faith, and love, people could experience the power of that Kingdom in their lives, offering forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. It was a gospel of hope, looking forward to the time when God's rule would be fully realized on earth. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made a way for all people to enter into this Kingdom, and He called His followers to live according to the values of that Kingdom—love, mercy, humility, justice and obedience to God's will.

Peace

This Kingdom was not a political realm but a spiritual reign
The kingdom is preached in the gospels
It actually is the physical governmental Davidic earthly kingdom down from heaven to earth given to the little flock, the believing remnant of Israel.
Christ will reign on David's throne
David will reign
The twelve will reign with Christ
The remnant will reign as kings and priests

The Gospel?

Which should I choose?:

The "kingdom gospel" according to Prophecy, Christ, on earth, to Peter and the twelve, or:

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

"The Gospel Of Grace", According To The Revelation Of The Mystery, From Christ, In Heaven, to Paul?

I have decided to follow Jesus?

Amen.

Jesus is the preacher of the gospel.

Newbies, listen to Jesus teach and preach. Believe what you hear Jesus teach and preach. Obey what you hear Jesus teach and preach. In turn, teach and preach what Jesus taught and preached.

Please show me the verse from the four gospels where they understood Christ's death and resurrection by which they could preach the same gospel as Paul
You've got it the wrong way round.
Paul met with the apostles to confirm he was preaching the same gospel as them.
Galatians 2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. 2 I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain..

He was not confirming the same gospel...it says he communicated that gospel he preached...it would not be necessary to communicate the same gospel to them seeing they already would know it

Scripture Alone ~ by ReverendRV * September 17

Genesis 1:1 KJV; In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”. So God created Man in his own image, in the image of God created him; male and female created he them. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the Garden thou may freely eat; but of the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eat thereof thou shalt surely die. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, a tree to be desired to make them wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he ate it. At once they saw what they had done, and they realized they were naked. Then they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. ~ For the wages of Sin is Death…

All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. ~ Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him and he began to teach them. He said: "You’ve heard the Commandment that says, 'You must not commit adultery.' but I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. Anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.” ~ For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it…

The wages of Sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal Life! ~ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting Life. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory; Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. For by Grace you are Saved through Faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by Works so that no one can boast. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ~ I’ve passed on to you what is most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our Sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. The Lord will rescue us from every evil deed and will bring us safely to his Heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen…

Revelation 22:20-21 KJV; He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

All of the saints, all who belong to the Messiah, will reign with him as kings and priests on the earth.

There is only one kingdom. There is only one gospel. Jesus preached it. All of the apostles preached it. I preach it.
Only the little flock=144,000 will reign as kings and priests, they are numbered=144,000
The great crowd no man can number are the other sheep( John 10:16) who are not of that fold= the true gospel.

The foundation of the gospel is the love of God. That love has been expressed throughout history by the constant and unfailing desire of God to be with His people.

“8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? ”
Genesis 3:8-9 KJV

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. ”
Exodus 25:8 KJV
Unfeigned Bible

“7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. ”
Psalms 46:7-11 KJV

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. ”
Matthew 1:23 KJV
Unfeigned Bible

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: ”
Colossians 1:27 KJV
Unfeigned Bible
The above is the foundation, the yearning desire of God to live with us. The how, is through the incarnation and the cross, becoming a new creature, the only begotten Son of God begotten in a new sense, a unity of the divine with the human, which in another sense is what God seeks for us also...a unity of the divine nature with the human, giving us the strength and power to live a life without sin, to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, to be filled with His Spirit, and to uphold the law and make it honourable, just as our Saviour did. We accomplish this through faith. It isn't our works, it's His work in us. We look to Him Who is now officiating as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary before the throne of His Father. That's the gospel.
