The Church of God is committed to preaching the gospel. The commission we have been given in Matthew 24:13-15 (NKJV) "But he who endures to the end shall be saved. {14} "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." This commission and passion to preach the gospel is in our spiritual DNA. Just what is the gospel? Why is knowing this important? For some people… the news of the birth of Jesus Christ is the gospel. For others it is the restoration of Israel as a prominent nation on earth. For some it is the knowledge of a coming global government. It is important for us to understand completely what Jesus meant… and intended… when He proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God.
