Chapter Two
Change Your Way of Thinking
After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” He said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:14-15)
Jesus proclaimed the “good news of God.” The current emphasis in the church restricts the “good news” to the promise that we are saved (from hell) by grace through faith in Jesus. The “good news” most often is presented as a limited message, “You can change your ultimate destination from hell to heaven.” Basically, the teaching is that you should seek salvation as a form of fire insurance. Fire insurance is good – I am just not convinced that fire insurance is available as a stand-alone product.
What about life insurance? Jesus said He came to give us an abundant life. (John 10:10) The life available to us comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This indwelling brings far more than fire insurance!
The “good news of God” is reported right there in Mark’s Gospel. “The time has come.” Jesus was on the scene changing everything in spiritual realms. Th ere was no delay, no need to wait. “The time has come.”
“Time for what?” you ask. It was time for Jesus to make available a completely new reality, entrance into the kingdom of God. “The kingdom of God is near.” Jesus was not announcing two concepts. Jesus said it was time for the kingdom of God, which was near, to begin to rule and reign in our hearts. The good news Jesus was urging us to believe is that the kingdom of God was replacing the Law and the Prophets. (Luke 16:16; Matthew 11:12-13)
