What is the Meaning of the Word Gospel?

What is the meaning of the word “Gospel”? What is it’s origin? We can trace the word Gospel back to the Old English word God-spell, which means “good news.” Similarly, the Greek original of the word for Gospel, “eungelion,” means “good message” or “good news.” A gospel is more than just a genre of writing, it is a message that is alive in our hearts.
