What does it mean that the gospel is an everlasting gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The everlasting gospel signifies that God's plan for salvation through Christ has existed from eternity.

The term 'everlasting gospel' refers to the unchanging nature of God's redemptive plan, which has been in place since before the creation of the world. Revelation 14:6 illustrates this by declaring that the gospel is eternal in its essence and promises. This contrasts sharply with the notion that the gospel is a reaction to sin or a New Testament occurrence. In reality, the gospel encompasses God's predetermined purpose to save a people for Himself through Jesus Christ, emphasizing the themes of grace, mercy, and divine sovereignty. Recognizing this helps believers to appreciate the grand narrative of Scripture and their place within God's eternal plan.
