Good News

In the Christian faith, the message of the salvation of Jesus Christ. Also known as the Gospel (the first four books of the New Testament). In this usage, the phrase is often capitalized. I decided to join a missionary group to spread the Good News around the world. Ever since I converted, I've been trying to spread the Good News to other lost souls that remind me of my past self. I didn't go to Catholic school, so I didn't learn the Good News until later in life.
