The Meaning of the Word Gospel

“3- For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4- And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” (I Corinthians 15:3- 4 KJV)

What is the definition or the meaning of the word Gospel? Apostle Paul defined gospel as the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures. Believing on what Christ did on the cross more than 2,000 years ago for eternal life is foolishness to the unbelieving world. Believing in Christ for eternal life sounds impossible for many. But that’s what the Bible says… It was because of the finished work of Christ.

“8- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9- Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8- 9 KJV)
