In the New Testament, the Gospel is the Good News about Christ. Paul reminds the Corinthians that in the Gospel he preached, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, rose on the third day, and appeared to people. Jesus preached the Gospel, speaking about the Kingdom of God that had drawn near, while Paul called evangelism the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
What Does the Bible Say About This?
- Paul reminds them of the Gospel he preached and in which the Corinthians stood firm, saying that he delivered to them first of all: Christ died for our sins, was buried, rose on the third day—and all this was according to the Scriptures—and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve (1 Cor. 15:1–5).
- Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the Gospel and saying that the time had come and the Kingdom of God had drawn near, and calling people to repent and believe in the Gospel (Mark 1:14–15).
- Paul called himself set apart for the Gospel of God, which God had promised through His prophets in the holy Scriptures concerning His Son, who was raised from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom. 1:1–4).
- Evangelism is called the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes; in it, the righteousness of God is revealed (Rom. 1:16–17).
- Paul tells the Ephesians about the word of truth, the Gospel of their salvation, which they heard, believed, and were sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13).
