What is the meaning of Gospel Music?

Gospel music is a type of music inspired by the word of God and specifically made with a message that aligns with Christian beliefs.

Today, the definition varies and is often defined to suit context, practices or even a particular style. It is however often referred to as the Christian genre.
The earliest form of it came from church hymns and is credited to Ephrem the Syrian, a deacon, writer and poet in the 4th century. He is called the father of Christian hymnody.

With time, it transitioned from just traditional hymns to other styles. The genre witnessed the incorporation of other sounds with the introduction of elements of secular music; country, blues and as time went on, R&B and Rock ‘n’ roll. We see popular artists today use the beats or recreate an already popular secular song to a gospel version to cater for Christians who do not like to listen to any other type of music.

Gospel music has in modern times become mainstream because it’s no longer the type of genre that is only heard or sung in churches. Even popular secular artists release gospel songs these days as the genre is not just made to be done by a select group of artists.
Many major awards shows whether regional, national or global always have a category for gospel and this goes to show that the genre has grown and transitioned into something extremely bigger than its initial origin and purpose. Music is a universal language and it’s almost impossible to restrict people from listening, whether Christian or not.
