The Gospel of Christ

Introduction In discussing the need for evangelism, we should understand the terminology of Sacred Scripture, and also recognize the demands of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Definitions The Greek verb euaggelizō means, “to announce good news” [Thomas 2097]. BDAG define it generally as “bring good news,” or “announce good news,” and specifically, “to proclaim the divine message of salvation,” i.e., “proclaim the gospel” (Rom. 1:15; 10:15; etc.).

Definitions The related noun euaggelion, usually translated “gospel,” signifies “good news” (Mark 16:15-16; Rom. 1:16-17; etc.). In the New Testament, it refers to “God’s good news to humans, good news as proclamation.” Additionally, it may involve “details relating to the life and ministry of Jesus, i.e., the good news of Jesus,” or “a book dealing with the life and teaching of Jesus, a gospel account,” i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John [Thomas & BDAG].

Definitions One additional word deserves consideration: euaggelistēs, translated “evangelist,” refers to “a bringer of good news” [Thomas 2099]. BDAG define it as a “proclaimer of the gospel, evangelist” (Acts 21:8; Eph. 4:11; 2 Tim. 4:5).
