The word gospel means good news. I started this thread so we can share things that we see in the message of the gospel that is good news. I will post one thing here and others can add to it.
Because of Jesus death on the cross, the wall that separated man from God has been removed, and through faith in Christ, we can go right into the Holy of Holies when we pray. We do not need a human high priest to go to God on our behalf once a year, and only after going through a careful process where he would be clean enough to enter God's presence or face instant death.

Because of Jesus, we are redeemed, and no longer slaves to sin. Jesus came to set the captive free. The good news for the drunkard is they no longer have to remain bound by alcoholism. The good news for the drug addict is that they no longer have to remain a junky. The good news for the harlot is they no longer have to sell their body to survive. The good news for the sex addict is that they no longer have to remain in bondage to fleshly lusts. No matter what sin you are in bondage to, through the power of Christ, you are set free by faith to walk in a way pleasing to God, no longer living under condemnation.

The most obvious part of the good news is Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, so we don't have to spend eternity in hell.

Along the same lines, because of Jesus, we have an eternal home in heaven, prepared by Jesus himself.

The gospel is a great testament to God's goodness.
While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
