It is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation. To reject the gospel is to embrace bad news and the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17: 20-23) It's that powerful.

Most mainstream and denominational Christians have little to say and little to show concerning the gospel. On the other hand when Pentecostal Christians preach the gospel to worldly peoples we can share testimonies to miracles and healings and the power of the gospel to transform lives. That people can have a personal relationship with God the Father and God their Saviour by being born from above (water baptism and baptism of the Holy Spirit). The Pentecostal gospel that you can read of in your NT is about being converted and transformed by the power of God - giving a disciple a testimony as to the wonderful things God has done for them. Mark 5:15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 19 And he [Jesus] did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marvelled.

The gospel is the power of God, and God is pretty powerful That it is for salvation, indicates that it saves people otherwise destined to eternal separation from God, for a destination of living with God in eternity and under His love, as a chosen member of His family. It also means that believers are co-heirs with Christ, that sounds like a big deal to me! It also means that those believers, will live changed lives on earth until we are called home to eternity. During our lives as believers, we have the unparalleled opportunity to be used to share this gospel with others, which broadens the reach of the power of the gospel. As if all that were not enough, believers are equipped in many ways, with abilities that they now have in harmony with their new/enhanced desire help others, to aid even those who do not deserve our help. Christians have been instrumental in starting and perpetuating charities, universities, hospitals, emergency aid, etc. worldwide and across centuries. I'd say the gospel is pretty powerful!
