The gospel is definitely not "repent FROM SIN".
Where did you get that idea from?
The gospel is stated by Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:15
Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you,
which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you also are saved, if you
hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died
for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised
on the third day according to the Scriptures.
The gospel as written above by Paul is the primary doctrine of Christianity.
You cannot be saved unless you truly believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
That is ground zero in Christianity. The gospel stands by itself above and beyond human
comprehension.
Your holiness, your love, your Christian life, are all in a distant secondary place to the gospel.
A person can be saved by hearing the gospel without ever having a bible or even reading
a bible.
A person can be saved without ever visiting a church or any church for that matter.
A person can be saved without a shred of theology, or any interpretation.
God has removed all possible human interaction with the gospel, it cannot be
altered. The gospel itself, a simple gospel, of Christ's sacrifice to atone for our sin
forever!
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
We do not contribute to our salvation by any obedience, we have no input.

Don't twist my words. It is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
You are the one displaying your ignorance of the old and new covenants. The law came through Moses, grace and truth through Lord Jesus.
Answering your question fully would take me more time than I have right now. However, a Jewish believer, Professor James Tour, wrote this some years ago. It covers most of what I would say to you if I had time.

True. Here is #4 amended: Thus, every person who hears the NT Gospel or good news needs to repent and accept God in Jesus as Christ/Messiah the Lord or Supreme Commander (LK 2:11, JN 14:6, ACTS 16:31), which means trying to obey His commandment to love one another (MT 22:37-40, JN 13:35, RM 13:9)—forever (MT 10:22, PS 113:2).
I believe Christ is Lord = King, but the Heaven part is only tasted in this life. (MT 6:10, HB 6:5)
