Why is the gospel referred to as good tidings?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is called good tidings because it brings hopeful news of salvation to sinners who are in need of grace.

The term 'good tidings' in Isaiah 61 reflects the essence of the gospel message—hope and salvation for those who recognize their need. Jesus was sent to preach the gospel to the meek, those who acknowledge their spiritual poverty and need for redemption. This message of grace offers comfort, healing, and liberation from the bondage of sin, serving as the foundation of Christian faith. By preaching this good news, Christ invites sinners to find refuge and salvation in Him alone, which is essential for their spiritual healing and restoration.
