The term "Gospel" originates from the Old English word "godspell" meaning "good news" or "glad tidings." This, in turn, translates the Greek word "εὐαγγέλιον" (euangelion), which also means "good news." In Christian theology, "The Gospel" refers to the message concerning Christ, the kingdom of God, and salvation. The Gospel is central to Christian faith and doctrine. It encapsulates the core message of Christianity: that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent into the world to save humanity from sin and death through his sacrificial death and resurrection. This message is considered the foundation of Christian belief and the basis for the mission of the church.
