Euangelion / Gospel

Gospel is one of the most common words in a Christian’s vocabulary. But what does it mean in the original languages of the Bible? In this video, we’ll discover that gospel refers to a royal announcement about Jesus, who is the crucified and risen King of the world who overcame death with his love.

In the Bible, “witness” refers to both people and actions—those who see events and those who share what they’ve seen. Similar to today, this word is used in both legal settings and to describe an experience with God. But the word’s most interesting aspect is how it illuminates the story of Scripture, especially the role of the people of God.
