The term 'good news' refers to the gospel message that centers on Jesus Christ's death and resurrection for the salvation of sinners.
In Scripture, the term 'good news' signifies the message of the gospel which declares that Jesus Christ, through His death and resurrection, has provided salvation for His people. This concept is woven throughout biblical narratives, as seen in 2 Samuel 18, where the messenger Ahimeaz carries news of victory but lacks the essential truth of Absalom's death. In the gospel, however, we have the complete 'good news' that Christ has conquered death and offers eternal life to those who believe in Him. The significance of this good news is profound, encompassing themes of grace, redemption, and hope for all who are called according to God's purpose.
