Where do I go in the Word to find the Gospel?
(well there is always the Roman road)
Romans 3:23-26
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came
by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through
the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate
his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed
beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the
present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith
in Jesus.
Romans 5:8
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23
The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 10:9
because, if "you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and "believe in your heart "that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
9 For God did not appoint
us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so
that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
Hebrews 9:11-14
11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things
that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of
this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;
but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus
obtaining eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of
a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that
they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our
consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Ephesians 2:1-10
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the
ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are
disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the
cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we
were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God,
who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in
transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with
Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in
order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his
grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace
you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the
gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do.
Colossians 2:13-15
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision
of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14
having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us
and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having
disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing
over them by the cross.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the
gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your
stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I
preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I
passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the
third day according to the Scriptures
Titus 3:5-7
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Ya...I'll leave those here so I can look at them. I know that preaching the Gospel myself won't instantaneously change my heart to want to desire God more, but it's a start. Hearing the Gospel is where it all starts/started, and continuing to live out and be rooted in the Gospel is how we persevere.
"The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.”- Tim Keller
