The word gospel is made of two words; Good + News. The word NEWS is an English language word which is constituted by bringing together the initials for four directions of our World: N (NORTH), E (EAST), W (WEST) and S (SOUTH). This gospel is necessary for the people living in all the directions of this world. The word good indicates that it is virtuous news and is related to the salvation of all mankind and is found only in the Bible. The entire Bible mainly describes in detail three things: Human creation; Human fall & Human redemption and the Gospel effects and describes these three things.
Gospel is not conversion from a religion but it is the entire NEWS for life (Acts 5:20), it is the source for Human life conversion (Acts 15:3). This Gospel is entirely based on Jesus Christ. After Human creation – human being fell in sin and soon after the fall God Himself gave it in the Garden of Eden.
“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring[e] and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” This statement from God has the secret to Gospel and is given to entire humanity, which is the cure for the serious disease “Sin” of all mankind:-
- Salvation: Is God’s work
- Salvation: will destroy the devil
- Salvation: will reach all human races
- Salvation: will come through a mediator
- Salvation: will be attached to the one who gets redemption in agony
- Salvation: will be experienced in entire history
This is why Jesus Christ himself said “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16). Therefore as per the Holy Scripture the Bible, Gospel can be described as follows:
That, all human beings are sinful and because of this sin they are separated from God, they are far away and have gone astray: but our Lord Jesus took the human body and came into this world, himself died on the cross to redeem us from this human sin, was buried, rose again and is now seated in Heaven. So whoever believes in this Jesus may gain salvation (eternal life); because Jesus is coming back again to judge all human beings.
Therefore the Gospel based on God’s Holy Scripture, the Bible is related to and is necessary for, redemption from sin, a new life, to re-establish the distortion in life with God and for the future hope in Jesus Christ because of Jesus Christ. This is why it is special and necessary for all. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9,10)
