The kingdom of God is not the gospel. A kingdom is a place where someone rules. God rules and reigns in His people. Believers are the temple not built with hands and constitute the dwelling place and kingdom of God.
The gospel is a means of grace to impart salvation to us as faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭28:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

“neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”( if we hear and believe the gospel of the kingdom )
‭‭Luke‬ ‭17:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Literally what your saying about faith there hearing the gospel of the kingdom is what puts it on our heart and mind so we can believe

“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The gospel is preached now the gospel of the kingdom

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

notice how many times Jesus says “ the kingdom of god is like “ or the kingdom of heaven is like “ it’s because he’s literally preaching the gospel into the hearts and minds of believers preaching his eternal kingdom d the only way to receive it is to hear what he’s saying and believe him

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭13:18‬ ‭

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

airs why the only way to enter the kingdom is to accept the gospel of the kingdom it’s what the whole New Testament is about leading us into this kingdom where he is on his throne

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:2-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the gospel of the kingdom was preached by the king to the subjects and all who believe will receive it
