Gospel: The teachings of Jesus Christ and the story of his life.  Any one of the Biblical books Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.  Romans 1:16 The gospel is powerful. 

The gospel is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again as it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:1-7 (KJV)

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

Salvation: The saving of somebody or something from harm, destruction, difficulty, or failure. In the Christian Faith, deliverance from sin or the consequences of sin through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.  Salvation cannot be earned; it is a gift of God Romans 6:23.  Salvation means being rescued from satan’s dominion.

2 Corinthians 7:10 King James Version (KJV)

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Faith: Belief in, devotion to, or trust in somebody or something.  Faith is the entire person in the right relationship with God through the power of the Spirit of God.  Faith puts us in a right relationship with God Romans 5:1. 

For it is written in Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Righteous: Always behaving according to the teaching of Christ in the Holy Bible where the Christian gets their moral code. Trying to keep the law cannot make us righteous Galatians 3:11-21.  Studying God’s Word helps a person grow in righteousness 2 Timothy. 

As it is written in the book of 2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version (KJV)

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
