What is the Gospel?

"But what is the Gospel? It is the good news of God’s eternal salvation, including final glory in heaven, not conditioned on the sinner, but conditioned on Christ and based on His righteousness alone. The Gospel reveals how God can only be just and save sinners based on Christ's righteousness alone. It reveals how God cannot save sinners based on anything proceeding from their persons, such as faith, repentance, and / or perseverance. These are all required not as conditions for salvation but as means and evidences of salvation and as the fruit of what Christ accomplished by Himself for His people. Herein God is glorified as a just God and a Savior, Christ is exalted as the victorious Messiah, and boasting is excluded in sinners."
