In Rom 3.22 Paul writes that we are made right in the sight of God through "faith in Jesus" or by "the faith of Jesus." This of course is not to deny the biblical teaching that believers should also have faith in Christ.
Then in Rom 10:17 Paul defines faith as hearing the word or the message of Christ, i.e., the gospel Jesus preached.
These verses are leading you to ask one very important question: What word/message did Jesus preach?
The answer will define for us Jesus own belief, the gospel of Jesus.
Like the OT prophets before him like Isaiah [9.7] and Daniel [2.44], Jesus believed that one day the God of heaven would set up a kingdom different from all the others because it will bring never-ending peace and real justice. But this will only happen when the Son, along with the saints of the Most High God, finally receive the kingdom: Dan 7:18. And only then will Christians rule/govern the world: 1Cor 6.2.
Jesus himself makes this promise to his Apostles in Luke 12.32:
This is the reason why Jesus says he was sent/commissioned by God in the first place: Luke 4.43. And this is supposed to be the purpose statement for the church, aka the Great Commission command by Jesus in Mat 28:19-20.
