The word translated “gospel” is a Greek word from which we get our
English word “evangelist” and it means “good news”
•
In Romans 1:1 Paul tells us that he was “set apart” for the task
of proclaiming God’s “gospel” or “good news”.
•
In Romans 1:2 Paul tells us that the “gospel” or “good news” had
been promised long ago by God through His prophets (inspired spokesmen) in the
Old Testament Scriptures
•
In Romans 1:3 Paul defines the gospel even further by indicating
its content: the message of good news concerns God’s Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
