Bible Note: --"The Gospel is the foundation of Christian theology, setting it apart from other all other religions, particularly other Judeo-Christian-Muslim traditions, by the manner in which it relays the hope of salvation. The word gospel originates from the meaning of the New Testament Greek word evangelion meaning "good news". This meaning was transmitted literally into Old English as godspell, eventually becoming gospel. The Gospel is epitomized by Jesus Christ in the following proclamation: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." (Mark 1:15) Uses of "gospel" The word gospel is used in various ways. Primarily it refers the good news as defined above, that it is the proclamation of God in Jesus Christ that the kingdom of God has come near and that it is a call for the proper response of repentance.[1] It is a proclamation that God has initiated the restoration of relationship with his creation.[1] This proclamation embodies a host of implications found, as the New Testament explains, within the reality of the nearness of God's kingdom. Some of the most prominent of these implications are further exploired within the following subsections of this article. "Gospel" also serves as the proper of the story contained within each of the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (and sometimes other non-canonical works, e.g. Gospel of Thomas) that offer a narrative of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus."-- http://www.theopedia.com/Gospel --"The Bible is a corridor between two eternities down which walks the Christ of God; His invisible steps echo through the Old Testament, but we meet Him face to face in the throne room of the New; and it is through that Christ alone, crucified for me, that I have found forgiveness for sins and life eternal. The Old Testament is summed up in the word Christ; the New Testament is summed up in the word Jesus; and the summary of the whole Bible is that Jesus is the Christ." —Bishop Pollock |
