Mark tells us the first public declaration of Jesus’ ministry was, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mk 1:15).
"...therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light...put on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:10b-12, 14). Yes, the kingdom of God is at hand!
