THE GOSPEL DEFINED
The word "gospel" literally means “good news.” It’s a translation of the Greek word "euangelion," which is a combination of "eu" (good) and "angelos" (messenger), thus meaning "good message" or "good tidings." It refers, in short, to the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
