The word gospel means simply good news. It is the good news of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection and is the culminating message of the entire Bible. In one sense, gospel is a simple, straightforward word. In another sense, it is an infinitely deep concept. This good news of Jesus seems to culminate on the cross, and there is much to contemplate about this good news by way of Christ's punishment in our place. Yet this good news reaches another peak when Jesus returns from the dead, actually defeating the greatest consequence of the fall of man, death and decay. Then the good news of Jesus eclipses even that when He ascends back to heaven, ready to receive us when we return to Him for eternity there as well. These are all facets of salvation. Theologians call the implications for us from His death justification, the implications for us of His resurrection sanctification, and the implications for us of His ascension glorification. When we are found in Jesus as believers, His life, death, resurrection, and ascension change everything about our life, our death, and our future after death.
The gospel changes everything, but it will take a lifetime in Christ to unpack it all.

I Peter 1:23-25 Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
