CHAPTER TEN.On the Gospel: where also on the Apostles' Creed.
The Gospel is the word of God announcing and proposing to all humans Christ the Redeemer with His merits to be apprehended, and freely promising to those who apprehend Him by living faith remission of sins, righteousness, and eternal salvation for His sake.
Gospel properly means a good or glad message.In theology it notes the good news of the Savior born for us (Luke 2:10-11) and His merits; specially the doctrine of Christ the Redeemer and free remission of sins for Him (Matt. 11:5; Rom. 1:16).Sometimes it sometimes refers to the whole New Testament teaching, which also embraces the law (Mark 1:14-15).
