Gospel
The term "Gospel" in the Bible primarily refers to the "good news" concerning Jesus Christ, His life, death, resurrection, and the salvation offered through Him. The word itself is derived from the Old English "godspel," which translates the Greek "euangelion," meaning "good news" or "glad tidings." In the New Testament, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the accounts that detail the life and teachings of Jesus, each presenting the message of salvation and God's kingdom from unique perspectives (Matthew 4:23; Mark 1:14-15; Luke 4:18-19; John 3:16).Theologically, the Gospel encompasses the entire message of the Christian faith, including the doctrines of sin, redemption, and grace. It emphasizes that through faith in Jesus Christ, individuals can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life (Romans 1:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The Apostle Paul articulates the Gospel's essence in Romans 10:9-10, stating that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection is central to salvation. Thus, the Gospel is not merely a historical account but a transformative message that invites believers into a personal relationship with God.
