What is the purpose of the Gospel according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

The Gospel's purpose is to proclaim salvation through Jesus Christ, offering forgiveness and justification to all who believe.

The Gospel serves as the proclamation of God’s redemptive plan as revealed in Scripture. In Acts 13:38-39, Paul conveys that through Jesus, forgiveness of sins is available, and those who believe are justified. This underscores that the Gospel is a message of hope and assurance, as it emphasizes God's initiative in salvation and the sufficiency of Christ’s righteousness for our justification. This aligns with historic Reformed theology, which asserts that the Gospel starts with God's action in choosing and redeeming His people through faith in Christ, fulfilling the good news promised through the prophets.
