The gospel is the announcement that God has fulfilled the promise of Scriptures to make the world right in Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:1-11). Christ has died for our sins. By his death and resurrection (and ascension), he has defeated the effects of our sins, including death itself. He now sits at the right hand of the Father ruling over the world. In Christ the new creation has begun. Old things are passing away. Behold, the new has begun (2 Cor 5:17). All who respond to this good news repent of the old ways, and make Jesus their Lord and Savior, enter in and become part of what God is doing to reconcile the whole world to himself (2 Cor 5:18-19), and receive power to become the children of God (Jn 1:12). This in one paragraph is the gospel. David E. Fitch
About This Quote

The gospel is a message that a person can live a life full of happiness. It is the story of how Jesus Christ has overcome death and made us into a better person. What makes it so special is that there have been many other stories that have been told about how people have overcome death and become a better person. But, this story is different from all the others because it is the only one that actually happens.

The gospel not only tells you about the old things being passed away, but it also tells you about the new things being born into this world. The story of Jesus Christ defeating death and making us a better person in this world is the greatest story ever told.
