What does the Bible say about the gospel?

Answered in 172 sources

The Bible describes the gospel as the good news of God's salvation through Jesus Christ, which is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).

The Bible presents the gospel as the ultimate good news from God, as shown in Romans 1:16, where Paul declares he is not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation. This gospel recounts how God, in His sovereign grace, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to fulfill the requirements of the law on our behalf. Unlike other religions, which promise good news contingent upon human action, the Christian gospel assures us that salvation is based solely on God's actions in Christ.
