Believe the Good News of God

Introduction to the Kingdom of God

Jesus is on Mission from God

Mark 1:14–15 TLV

Now after John was put in jail, Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God. “Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!”

This Present Evil World

John 9:39 TLV

Yeshua said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who don’t see may see, and the ones who do see may become blind.”

People Choose Whom to Believe

God’s glory is the key salvation. Believe now! Render God the glory due His word in the present time. Trust the name for being holy, or doubt. Waiting for proof is not waiting on God. Faith is now! (Hebrews 11:1). Presently possessing the proof, alone is faith.

2 Timothy 1:8–10 (TLV)

Share in suffering for the Good News according to the power of God. He has saved us and called us with a holy calling—not because of our deeds but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Messiah Yeshua before time began, but now has been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Messiah Yeshua. Indeed, He nullified the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

Romans 1:16–17 (TLV)

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who trusts—to the Jew first and also to the Greek. In it the righteousness of God is revealed, from trust to trust. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

The context of Habakkuk’s prophecy relates the overwhelming power of the LORD. God is to be reverenced by His people, and feared by the Nations. To despise the power of the LORD is folly. Yeshua held the Father with due respect in the proper honor.

Mark 8:38 TLV

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this unfaithful and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels!”

2 Thessalonians 2:8 TLV

Then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Yeshua will slay him with the breath of His mouth and wipe him out with the appearance of His coming.

The Gospel is the Power of God

God’s power is inseparable from faith. Refer to Mark 9:1, 12:24; Acts 10:38; Romans 1:4, 16 1 Corinthians 1:18, 24, 2:5, & 4:20; 2 Corinthians 6:7, 13:4; 2 Thessalonians 1:11; 2 Timothy 1:8; and 1 Peter 1:5.

Jeremiah 1:10 TLV

See, today I have appointed you over nations and over kingdoms: to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Jeremiah 23:29 TLV

“The prophet who has a dream may recount a dream, but let the one who has My word speak My word in truth. For what is straw compared with wheat?” It is a declaration of Adonai. “Is not My word like fire?” says Adonai, “or like a hammer that shatters rock?

Psalm 109:2–5 LES

The Lord will send out a rod of strength from Zion, “Rule in the midst of your enemies. With you is authority in the day of your might, with the splendor of the holy ones. From the womb, before the morning, I begat you.” The Lord swore and will not regret, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” The Lord at your right hand crushed together kings in the day of his wrath.

2 Corinthians 10:3–6 TLV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but powerful through God for the tearing down of strongholds. We are tearing down false arguments and every high-minded thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Messiah— ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

Hebrews 4:12–13 TLV

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword—piercing right through to a separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. No creature is hidden from Him, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

The Gospel is Exceeding Abundantly Above All

Ephesians 1:13–14 TLV

After you heard the message of truth—the Good News of your salvation—and when you put your trust in Him, you were sealed with the promised Ruach ha-Kodesh. He is the guarantee of our inheritance, until the redemption of His possession—to His glorious praise!

Ephesians 1:19–22 TLV

and what is His exceedingly great power toward us who keep trusting Him—in keeping with the working of His mighty strength. This power He exercised in Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in heaven. He is far above any ruler, authority, power, leader, and every name that is named—not only in the olam ha-zeh but also in the olam ha-ba. God placed all things under Messiah’s feet and appointed Him as head over all things for His community—

Colossians 1:5 (NASB95)

Because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
