Do you hear preachers refer often to the “Gospel” and wonder what they are talking about?

The word “Gospel” means good news. The primary message of the Gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:3,4).

You may wonder why someone’s death would be good news. It is good news because in Jesus’ death He paid the penalty for our sin. In His resurrection, He defeated the power of the Devil.

Because Jesus paid the penalty for sin it is not necessary that any of us die. By trusting in Him, we can live forever (John 11:25,26).

Now that is “good news!”
