Good News

In Christianity, the Gospel, good news, Evangelion, or Evangelium (from Koine Greek euangélion — also translated as "gospel", "glad tidings" and variants) is the message of Jesus, the Christ (the Messiah), specifically the coming Kingdom of God, his atoning death on the cross and resurrection, the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost as "helper" (paraclete), and the resulting promise and hope of salvation for the faithful.The Christian message of good news is described in the Bible generally and in the Canonical gospels specifically. It relates to the saving acts of God, centered upon the person of Jesus and his atoning work on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Its context is the storyline of the Christian Bible as a whole, which tells of the creation of humanity, humanity's rebellion against God, and how people from all nations are restored to relationship with God through the person of Jesus. A key theme of the Christian good news is that God offers a new life and forgiveness through Jesus. Jesus' teaching of the good news also relates to the coming of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15, see also second coming).
