The word "εὐαγγέλιον" (euangelion) primarily means "good news" or "good tidings." In the New Testament, it specifically refers to the message about the kingdom of God and salvation through Christ, often called "the gospel." It can also be associated with various aspects of this message, such as its content (e.g., the kingdom, Christ, or God's glory), its source (e.g., God or Christ), or its recipients (e.g., those taught or specific groups).
