The Bible describes the true gospel as the glorious message of salvation through Jesus Christ, which involves the Trinity's work in bringing God's elect to eternal glory.
The true gospel, as preached in the Bible, emphasizes that it is not merely about Christ's righteousness but involves the complete work of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The gospel is described as the gospel of God, the gospel of Christ, and the gospel of the kingdom, all of which are integral to the message of salvation. Scriptures such as Romans 1:1 and 1 Thessalonians 2:9 highlight that the gospel is about the power of God for salvation and consists of glad tidings regarding our Savior's victory over sin and death. This gospel encompasses all blessings in Christ and is characterized by an eternal covenant made before the foundation of the world, demonstrating God's everlasting love for His elect.
