For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16
Jesus is the Son of God. He came to Earth and was fully God and fully man. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross to pay the punishment for the sins of mankind.
You see, sin separates us from God, so He sent Jesus to pay for our sins. Jesus became a bridge between us and God. It is a free gift. We cannot work our way to heaven. There is nothing we can do on our own to save ourselves. We need a Savior. All you have to do to be saved is to accept that you are a sinner (we all are) and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. And your life will never be the same. We were dead in our sin, but in Christ we are alive. And it's only through Christ that we can experience true freedom.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
If you are even remotely curious or questioning any of this:
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. -Matthew 7:7-8
This is a promise Jesus has given to all of us. Anyone that is seeking the truth about Him and God will find it. All you have to do is pray and ask God to reveal the truth to you. I'll be praying for you my friend! Please don't hesitate to message me if you ever want to talk or pray or if you have any questions <3
The Gospel is contained in the New Testament. It is the books of the four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It tells the story of the Incarnation of God’s only Son - Jesus the Christ. The other books of the New Testament are written by the Apostles of Christ, and fill out our understanding of what Christians need to know about how to conduct themselves and how Christianity spread to the world.
Paul did not write a Gospel, but experienced a conversion and then became an apostle, spreading the Gospel and writing encouraging letters to Christian communities, to help them be better Christians by outlining the theology of the Church.
1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Corinthians 15.1-4)
Do you see the difference in Paul’s gospel? Where is repentance? Where is baptism? They are not there. Salvation according to the gospel of the kingdom was to repent and be baptized, believing Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God (Matthew 16.16-17; John 11.25-27; Acts 2.38). Salvation according to the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20.24), Paul’s gospel, is to believe Christ died for us, was buried, and arose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). According to Paul’s gospel, only one thing is necessary: trust in the death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Do you believe it? If so, you are saved from sin and death. This is God’s promise.
I should have been more clear, I know what the gospel is, I just like to ask to see what people’s response is.
There’s something big most people are missing in the their Bible’s because the majority of Churches don’t teach it. It’s so simple and right in front of you but it does take a dose of humility and willingness to learn something new.
Ask yourself this, how did the 12, Jesus or John the Baptist preach the gospel of redemption of sins by the death of Christ when he was still alive?
Gospel means Good News
So the Gospel is the Good News of Jesus Christ.

What do you mean by Paul's gospel?
Paul was an apostle of Christ, but he does not have his own gospel. I'd love for you to expand on this, so I know what exactly you mean.
