Best Answer

The Greek word is euangelion. This originally meant 'a reward for good tidings'.

Over time the idea of reward was dropped, and the word stood for "the good news" itself.

The English word "gospel," i.e. "good message," is from the old English word godspel. God = good and spel = news. Over the years this has become gospel.

Rom 1:17 For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, "The person who is put right with God through faith shall live."
