“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.” John 16:25-27.
The first four books of the New Testament are commonly referred to as the four Gospels. Essentially the word Gospel means good news and it is not only used in the sense of the good news of Jesus Christ, but the Gospel is also used to delineate the message of salvation in Christ.
