As we mentioned in chapter 3, the Greek word for
gospel
(euangelion) means “good news.” Paul defined the
gospel of Jesus
Christ in 1 Cor 15:1–4: “Now I want to
make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I
preached to you, which you received, on which you
have taken your stand and by which you are being
saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—
unless you
believed in vain. For I passed on to you as
most important what I
also received: that Christ died for
our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was
buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to
the Scriptures.” Paul defined the gospel as the record
of
Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
