So your wanting to share an english dictionary definition of what the Gospel is instead of what God's WORD says is the Gospel? I also believe the Gospel is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus but is that all the Gospel is?
Ok going on your interpretation of what you believe the Gospel is, please explain what the following scriptures are talking about...
MARK 1:14-15 [14], Now after that
John was put in prison,
Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [15], And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent you, and believe the gospel.
LUKE 7:22 Then Jesus answering said to them,
Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to
the poor the gospel is preached
MATTHEW 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
MATTHEW 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
MATTHEW 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to them.
MATTHEW 24:14
And this
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.
Speaking of God's people in the wilderness in the OLD TESTAMENT...
HEBREWS 4:2 For to us was the
gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
........................
NOTE: So in your view Jesus was going about teaching about his life, death and resurrection before he lived his life, died and was resurrected? The scriptures provided above do not agree with your definition now do they? Can you see your mistake here brother?

Ok now what does God's WORD say is the Gospel and what does the GREEK word mean?
WHAT IS THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD.
REVELATION 14:6, And I saw another angel fly in midheaven,
having the EVERLASTING GOSPEL [εὐαγγέλιον meaning good news] to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,
NOTE: The GREEK Word used here G2098 εὐαγγέλιον means simply good news; So the first angels message is preaching the everlasting GOOD NEWS to all people of the earth.
WHAT DOES THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL REPRESENT?
1 PETER 1:25, But THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER [EVERLASTING WORD OF GOD]. And this is the word which by the GOSPEL [GOOD NEWS] is preached unto you.
LUKE 21:33, Heaven and earth shall pass away: BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY [EVERLASTING WORD OF GOD].
ISAIAH 40:8, The grass withers, the flower fades, But THE WORD OF OUR GOD STANDS FOREVER [GOD’S WORD IS EVERLASTING].
JOHN 17:17, SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THE TRUTH, YOUR WORD IS TRUTH [GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH AND WE ARE SAVED BY IT – Good news indeed].
MATTHEW 4:4 Man does not live by bread alone but by EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD [LIFE FROM THE WORD OF GOD]
JOHN 1:1-4; 14
[1], In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
THE WORD WAS GOD. [2], The same was in the beginning with God. [3],
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4], In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[14], And
THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
NOTE: JESUS is the living WORD OF GOD.
[12], But as many as received him [THE WORD OF GOD], to them gave he power to become the children of God, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS
NAME [
MATTHEW 1:21, And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his
name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.]
NOTE: v12 and
MATTHEW 1:21.
JOHN 1:12 As many as received him [THE WORD OF GOD] to them he gave POWER to become the children of GOD. His name is JESUS [THE WORD OF GOD] because he [THE WORD OF GOD] will save all who receive him [BELIEVE AND FOLLOW THE WORD OF GOD]
1 PETER 1:22-23, [22], Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto sincere love of the brethren, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently: [23], BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE
SEED BUT OF INCORUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, which lives and ABIDES FOREVER [EVERLASTING].
LUKE 8:11, NOW THIS IS THE PARABLE;
THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD.
1 JOHN 3:9, Whoever is born of God does not commit sin;
FOR HIS SEED REMAINS IN HIM: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 JOHN 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, EVEN OUR FAITH [in the WORD OF GOD; the SEED must remain in us through FAITH].
PSALMS 119:11, YOUR WORD HAVE A HID IN MY HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST YOU [in the WORD OF GOD; the SEED must remain in us through FAITH].
And this is the victory that overcomes the world, EVEN OUR FAITH in God’s WORD that is IN US.
JOHN 15:4-5,
[4] ABIDE IN ME AND I IN YOU [THE WORD OF GOD]. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. [5] I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for WITHOUT ME [THE WORD OF GOD] YOU CAN DO NOTHING. [6], If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7], IF YOU ABIDE IN ME [THE LIVING WORD OF GOD] AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you. [8], Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. [9], As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. [10], IF YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
NOTE: We cannot bear the fruit of obedience unless God’s WORD abides in us as we BELIEVE and follow him who calls us in love to love.
..............
CONCLUSION: WHAT IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF
REVELATION 14:6?
The EVERLASTING Gospel is JESUS <Jesus means Savior;
John 1:29> and JESUS is THE WORD OF GOD (
John 1:1-14; 17:17; 14:6).
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE GOSPEL BECAUSE IT IS ALL GOOD NEWS AND BY FAITH IT IS OUR SAVIOR and this the IS GOOD NEWS to those who BELIEVE. (
John 1:1-14;
John 1:29;
John 17:17; 14:6;
Matthew 4:4) ALL OF GOD’S WORD IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. It is the EVERLASTING GOSPEL because JESUS AND HIS WORD is EVERLASTING.
ALL THE WORD OF GOD IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL [GOOD NEWS] TO ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND FOLLOW IT.
Hope this helps brother
