Gospel
a word used as the English equivalent of the Greek evangelion, or rather euaggelion, a good or joyful message. In the New Testament it denotes primarily the glad tidings respecting the Messiah and His kingdom-this was emphatically the Gospel (Anglo-Saxon, gôdspell, good tidings). It was quite naturally employed as a common title for the historical accounts which record the facts that constitute the basis of Christianity.
