he word “gospel”, called “euaggelion” in Greek, means “good message.” The good message is:
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
1 Corinthians 15: 3, 4.
Jesus Christ Himself preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God and commanded His disciples to preach it to all nations. The apostles and the first church faithfully carried the message to many nations telling that Jesus is the Lord of all (Acts 10:36). Apostle Paul says, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16).
We believe that we, as a church, are the ambassadors of Christ with the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5: 18-21) and that the Lord has entrusted the church with the responsibility of preaching the gospel: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark 16:15, 16). For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (Romans 1:16). And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15).
