This is what the word “gospel” means. But I want us to think deeper than this. Do not merely provide a definition of the gospel, that is, being good news. What exactly is the good news? What is the good news you have received? What is the good news you proclaim? What is the good news that you put your hope in? What is the good news that you have placed your faith upon? What are the contents of the good news? The book of Romans can seem complicated to the point that we can avoid reading it. But the book of Romans was not written to theologians. The book of Romans was written to everyday people like us. We should understand the gospel and not make the book of Romans so hard that we feel lost by it.
