The Gospel - the Greek word "evangelion", translated means "joyful or good news." Initially, this word meant the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, his atoning death on the cross for all sinners.
Some time after its inception, the concept of the Gospel began to imply a record of the earthly life of Jesus Christ recorded in the Bible. All four Gospels are canonical books of the New Testament included in the Bible. They describe the miraculous birth of the baby Jesus, the life, ministry, acts, sufferings of Christ, and his resurrection. The gospel is the most important source that gives people knowledge about Jesus. They contain his speeches, sermons, parables, instructive stories. Each of the four Gospels has its own author. In the New Testament, these books are arranged in the following order - the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Among the authors of the Gospels, Matthew and John were disciples and apostles of Jesus Christ. Mark - was a collaborator of Peter, who is also ranked among the apostles, and Luke - collaborated with Paul, who received the apostleship much later than others. Despite the fact that the contents of all four Gospels describe the same events from the life and ministry of Christ, they differ in the presentation, style, and audience for which these books were intended. Each author in a special way describes certain moments in the life of Jesus. And each in his own way describes Christ. The Gospel of Matthew refers to Christ as the Messiah, the son of Abraham and David, in whom all prophecies and promises were fulfilled. The Gospel of Mark shows Jesus as a Servant who came to earth, even though He was the Son of God. Luke in his narrative refers to all of humanity, and therefore Jesus is presented to him as the Son of Man, descended from heaven for all people. John does not describe biographies of Christ, but testifies of Him as the eternal Son of Heavenly Father, who is the Bread, Light, Truth and Life for the whole world. The first three Gospels - Matthew, Mark and Luke for the most part describe similar events in life Jesus In the Gospel of John, the presentation, style and content are noticeably different from the other three books. But all four Gospels is a short story about the coming to earth of the Savior Jesus Christ and His mission here on earth. All the Gospels tell of the death of Jesus on the cross, as well as of His resurrection. The final chapters of all four Gospels tell us that the resurrected Jesus instructed his disciples to go and carry the saving good news among all the nations of the earth. Each person, through the good news and gaining faith in Jesus, has salvation for eternal life. The book of the Acts of the Apostles, following the four Gospels, describes the ministry and activity of the disciples, the apostles of Jesus Christ.
