𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

The Bible presents two distinct messages: the Gospel of the Kingdom (preached to Israel) and the Gospel of the Grace of God (revealed to Paul for the Church, the Body of Christ). To confuse them is to misinterpret God’s dispensational dealings. One pointed Israel to a coming King; the other proclaims salvation through the crucified and risen Christ.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀

Kingdom Gospel – Preaches the coming King and kingdom (Matthew 4:23).

Grace Gospel – Preaches salvation by grace through faith (Romans 3:24).

Proper Division – Distinguishing both avoids doctrinal confusion (2 Timothy 2:15).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹

Kingdom Promise – Given to Israel through covenants (Luke 1:69–70).

Grace Promise – Offered to Jew and Gentile alike (Romans 3:22).

Precise Provision – Fulfilled in Christ for different purposes (Ephesians 3:6).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴

Rejected King – Killing Him was seen as wicked (Luke 24:20).

Crucified Christ – His cross is our glory (Galatians 6:14).

Prophetic Purpose – One reveals rejection, the other redemption (Acts 2:23).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀

Kingdom Gospel – The cross was not central (Luke 9:22).

Grace Gospel – The cross is the message itself (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).

Proper Preaching – Without the cross, no gospel exists today.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Kingdom Context – Resurrection was not the focus (Mark 16:11).

Grace Context – Without resurrection, faith is vain (1 Corinthians 15:17).

Personal Application – Believers are raised with Christ (Romans 6:4).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺

Kingdom Requirement – Obedience to the law and endurance (Matthew 19:17).

Grace Motivation – Works flow from gratitude (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Practical Outworking – Not to be saved, but because we are saved (2 Corinthians 5:14).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱

Israel Only – “Go not into the way of the Gentiles” (Matthew 10:5–6).

All Nations – Grace extends to all without distinction (Romans 10:12).

Pauline Preaching – The Body of Christ is neither Jew nor Greek (Galatians 3:28).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱

Prophecy – Kingdom gospel fulfills promises made since the world began (Luke 1:70).

Mystery – Grace gospel reveals truths kept secret (Romans 16:25).

Proper Understanding – Prophecy concerns Israel; Mystery concerns the Church.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Kingdom Gospel – Proclaimed before and during Christ’s earthly ministry (Matthew 9:35).

Grace Gospel – Began with Paul after the revelation of the mystery (Acts 20:24).

Present Program – Today we are under Grace, not Law (Romans 6:14).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Kingdom Goal – Establish the reign of Messiah on earth (Acts 1:6).

Grace Goal – Form the Body of Christ, seated in heaven (Ephesians 2:6).

Perfect Plan – Distinct purposes, one Savior.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘀

Kingdom Preachers – Jesus, the Twelve, and early apostles (Matthew 10:7).

Grace Preacher – Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles (Romans 11:13).

Proper Authority – Today, Paul’s gospel is the standard (2 Timothy 2:8).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Kingdom Living – Meant for Israel awaiting the King.

Grace Living – Meant for believers resting in Christ’s finished work.

Personal Duty – Stand fast in liberty, not law (Galatians 5:1).

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:

The Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God are not the same. One was for Israel, the other is for the Body of Christ. Blending them produces confusion; rightly dividing them produces clarity.

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Study the Scriptures with a dispensational lens.

Separate the programs of Israel and the Church.

Stand in the liberty of God’s grace in Christ.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

Mixing these gospels diminishes God’s design.
Rightly dividing them exalts Christ and establishes truth.
Today, salvation is found only in the Gospel of the Grace of God (Acts 20:24).
