We are called to follow Christ not only by the gospel of the grace (Acts 20:24), but also by the gospel of the kingdom (Matt. 24:14). The gospel of grace causes us to have faith in Jesus Christ and be saved so that we become His believers, which is indeed wonderful. However, we must not only be His believers; we must also become His disciples, His followers, for only then can the Lord have His kingdom on the earth. And for this, we must have the gospel of the kingdom. As the Lord says, it is when this gospel of the kingdom is preached over all the earth that the end will come; praise the Lord!
