The word gospel means a good message or good news. Many believe that the Gospel is only forgiveness of sins though as glorious as this is there is so much more that the Lord has done in His death, resurrection and life towards believers in Him. The Good News of our LORD Jesus Christ and what He has done includes but is not limited to the following elements:
Our names are written in heaven
Luk 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Eternal salvation of our souls
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Forgiveness of our sins
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
We are reconciled to God
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Have become temples of the Holy Spirit
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Christ dwells within us by His Spirit,
He is our hope of glory Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us into all truth
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Spiritual power and spiritual gifts are available to us for our growth and transformation
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

We have power over all the power of the devil

We have power over sin and need no longer be its slave
1Jn3:6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
We can mature until we come to the full measure of the stature of the LORD Jesus Christ

Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Joint heirs with Christ Jesus

We can come boldly before the Throne of Grace
