What makes a piece of news... good? Think about this with me for a moment. We don’t call a newspaper a good newspaper. It’s just a newspaper. Now, something within that newspaper may be good, but only when it’s beneficial to us. So what makes news good is a personal benefit. This same thing is true with the Gospel. The word Gospel simply means good news. Thus the message which the Apostle Paul calls God’s power unto salvation (Romans 1:16) is good news precisely because it’s beneficial to us. But more importantly and necessarily, the Gospel is good news because it’s actually beneficial for all people. I pray you can see this, but if the Gospel is not beneficial to all people, there’s no way we could be sure that it’s beneficial to us at all. What do I mean?
