Most of what Christians believe can be
found in the Bible. Christians see the Bible as the Word of God. That is a
reason why Christians read the Bible- to contemplate on the Word of God. But
why should we read the New Testament? Is it necessary to read the New
Testament?
The New Testament consists of 27 books which
contains the four gospels. The Greek word for “gospel” is “euangelion”. The
“eu” means “Good” and the “angelion” means “News”. So the Greek word is
“euangelion”, meaning “Good news”. In English we use the word “Gospel” for
exactly the same purpose.
The four Gospels or sometimes called Good
News is Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These bring the good news of Christ. Christ
is portrayed as the savior of mankind. This includes the birth of Christ, the crucifixion
and the resurrection of Christ.
The four gospels thus bring the good news
of the life of Jesus the Christ on Earth.
