What does the Bible say about the gospel's origins?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is God's everlasting gospel, originating in eternity and rooted in God's sovereign grace.

The Bible teaches that the gospel is not merely a New Testament phenomenon but is fundamentally God's gospel, which has existed as long as God Himself. In Romans 1:1, Paul states it is 'the gospel of God.' This gospel includes the promises given long before the creation, specifically through the person of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:4 affirms that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, highlighting the eternal roots of the gospel. It is this everlasting nature of the gospel that underscores God's sovereignty in salvation, as revealed in Revelation 14:6.
