Excerpt from The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth: Extracted Textually From the Gospels, Together With a Comparison of His Doctrines With Those of Others The law of Jesus Christ alone is called gospel, that is to say, good news; because therein the incar nation of the Son of God, the birth of the expected Saviour, the remission of sins, the kingdom of charity, and the enjoyment of things eternal, are declared to us. What better news could we possibly expect? How hard soever some of the truths of the gospel may appear to us, yet that is always good news which it tells us, because it is the way of Christ, and the means of salvation. It is the part of a pious man, at his first entrance on the gospel, to form an act of faith, extending to all the speculative and practical truths contained in it, and to beg of God the grace to read them with the same spirit with which they were written.
