AI Summary
Good news, especially the good news of salvation through Christ proclaimed as "the gospel" 1234. In this sense it is used of the message of God's kingdom and of salvation, sometimes with a word attached showing whose message it is or what it concerns – for example "the gospel of the kingdom," "of Christ," "of God," or "of our glory" 1.
In earlier Greek usage the word had a different, literal sense: a reward given to a messenger for bringing good tidings 13, and, in the plural, a thank-offering made in gratitude for good news received 13.
