The New Testament starts with the "four gospels" of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John--four of Jesus' Apostles. These gospels are the testimony of these witnesses who personally watched Jesus perform miracles and preach.
The Apostle Paul starts 1 Corinthians 15 with "Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,".
Paul goes on to summarize Jesus' death (to pay for our sins) and resurrection. Some modern Christians preach that this is "the gospel".
The word "gospel" literally means "message". It also often used in place of the word "truth".
"Gospel" derives from the Old English "godspel", meaning good (or God) story.
"Gospel music" is simply Christian music of a particular style, praising God and/or Jesus.
