Gospel, simple means God speaks. If you remember when someone tries to say something but stops or keeps their hands on their mouth or is shy or hesitate to speak about what they were about to speak, you say spell it out. This is what Gospel is God+speaks good news in simple word. What did the God of heaven and earth speak? We have lot of references in the Holy Scriptures of God speaking.
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14). Not just in the Old Testament, but to confirm His Word God spoke again in the New Testament, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (Matthew 1:23). God spoke again to the whole world in love saying, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16). And finally, God is not a man that He should lie, but God does what He says and also proves His Love and fulfills His Word, as we read in the First Epistle to the Corinthians: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" (1-Corinthians 15:3-4). This is what the Gospel is, God speaking good news to the children of men: men and women who are born; living and dying in their sins do have hope , redemption, deliverance and future in the Lord Jesus Christ the saviour of the world.
