Summary: The good news is the power of God in our lives because of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus came for a purpose and when He fulfilled that purpose He brought us back to His Father. And through this we see his power at work in every area of our lives.

Starting from

Romans 1:16 Paul says this :

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Another translation puts it this way

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. (NLT)

What is the Gospel?

Is the teaching and revelation of Christ

It is the good news of Jesus Christ

It is the record of Christ's life and teaching in the first four books of the New Testament.

So the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the life of Christ when he was here on earth.

Reading or studying the first books of the new testament brings a deep revelation of:

- The love of Christ

- The life of Christ

- The power of Christ

- The truth of Christ

And when we look into the four gospels with the help of the Holy Spirit there is:

Salvation

Healing

Deliverance

Freedom

Peace

Prosperity

The four gospels is truly Christ being revealed to us as the only begotten Son of God. Jesus had to come to earth to redeem us from the hands of our enemy has recorded in Matthew chapter 1:21-23 "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

It was the love of God that made Him gave up His Only Begotten Son, and this is recorded in John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Jesus paid the price for our Salvation. In other to be forgiven of our sins and to live eternally with God. We must believe in Jesus Christ and receive him into our lives. And has we do this his power will be at work in our lives. And this means that all his promises will be at work in our lives.
