The Bible defines the gospel as the good news of Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection for our sins, according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
The gospel, as defined in Scripture, is the good news that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day, all according to the Scriptures. This definition emphasizes that the gospel is not merely a set of good advice or principles but a specific, historical account of Christ's redemptive work. As emphasized in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, belief in this fact is essential for salvation, distinguishing between true belief and mere empty profession.
