The evangelist, Billy Graham, was asked to define the term evangelical. He answered, “Actually, that’s a question I’d like to ask somebody, too.” Evangelical comes from the Greek word euangelion, which is translated “good news” or “gospel.” So, a better question would be, What is the “good news” or “gospel”? The Good News is humankind has a second chance of redemption from the sin that has pulled us away from our Creator, who now offers Himself as our Savior. “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV).
