==Main article==
The Gospel is the good news of [[Jesus Christ]] - the word literally means "Good News". It is the news that our [[forgiveness]] and [[salvation]] comes through his death and resurrection. The word is also used to denote the four narratives of Jesus life in the [[New Testament]], for example, the [[gospel of John]].
===Derivation and usage===
In [[Christianity]], '''gospel''' derives from the Old English word for "good news". In the New Testament it is a translation of the [[Greek]] word [[Greek:Ευαγγελιον|evangelion]].
The word gospel is generally used in two ways:
:Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you -- unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. ([[ESV]])
