Gospel means good news

That's correct! The word "gospel" comes from the Old English word "gōdspel", which means "good news". In Christianity, the gospel refers to the message of salvation and redemption that Jesus Christ brings to humanity.

The term "gospel" is often used to describe the four accounts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, which are recorded in the New Testament of the Bible: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These accounts are often referred to as the "Gospels" (singular: "Gospel").

The good news that the gospel proclaims is that God loves humanity and has provided a way for people to be reconciled to Him through faith in Jesus Christ. This good news is often summarized in the phrase "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

The gospel is considered good news because it brings hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to those who believe in Jesus Christ. It is a message of joy, peace, and redemption that has been shared by Christians throughout history and continues to be shared today.
