means. The Good News is the gospel. Moreover, if we ask what this gospel is about, the answer is that it is about the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom has come near because Jesus is near. The gospel is about his kingdom. If we also ask, “What does that have to do with me?” or “How do I become a part of this kingdom?” the answer is, “Repent and believe the good news.” That is exactly what we tell people to do today. They must repent of their sin and believe the gospel of God’s salvation from sin in Jesus Christ.
