Gospel:

The word "Gospel" means good news.
While the word has been politicized and distorted we get our word "Evangelical" from the Greek word for good news.
It is the "Glad Tidings" of Christmas cards and songs. The angel told the shepherds, "Unto you is born this day, in the City of David, a Savior, Who is Christ, the Lord." That is indeed good news.Perhaps the single verse in the Bible that best summarizes the Gospel would be John 3:16, "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The great theologian Paul gives the primary facts of the Gospel message--Jesus Christ, God's great Christmas gift, died for our sins, was buried, and rose to life again--all according to Scripture.This good news is only truly good if you receive it. Have you?
It's STTA
