The Good News

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good [things], who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Isaiah 52:7

Sin causes all people to be enemies of God. God took it upon Himself to offer peace with Him, and proclaimed His plans to do so through His “Good News.” He swore to offer forgiveness of sins, through the judgment of sin. God’s peace is based on the removal of fear and death from the condemnation of sin. God provided this salvation through His impeccable Gospel, taking the form of flesh to die on our behalf as the Prince of Peace. Those who preach this good news, these glad tiding, this salvation, are the beneficiaries of God’s peace, and considered beautiful in His eyes.
