CONTENTS

Foreword

For t housands ofyears , one book inspires and impresses everyone who opens it and starts to read. This is the book of love and light- the G ospel.

This book is been spread from the first centuryB . C . and transforms everyonewho touches it. From disbeliever, he becomes abeliever.

It hastransformed the lives of billions of people . And it isn ot the words inside it that changethe lives of everyone, but the Spirit of love, the HolySpirit , working on the soul through the book .

This Spiritis called in the Bible by many names: God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit,Truth, Comforter, Force etc .

To understandthe Bible and to understand the power of God, which comes from theSpirit of love, you need a deeper knowledge and understanding. As a beginning , to understand theGospel and the parables, everyone shouldunderstand the nature of this S pirit and that He is a Spirit oflove. Then, if you look at the Gospel from the perspective of theSpirit of love, the whole meaning will become clearto you , and you can understand everything .

The keyto revelation of the Gospel is the word love and the understanding of God as a Spirit of love is the basis forthe interpretation of the Bible.

The Gospel is acollection of stories from the life of Christ and parables,which , at first glance , seem scattered, fragmented and meaningless . Thec oncepts in the parables, the events and the miracles cannot be truly understood until they areexperienced.

To clarifythe meaning of the Gospel, we will examine each quoteseparately in thelight of the Spirit of love - the Spiritof Christ.

The R evelation of T he Gospelof Matthew

Matthew 3:2

Repent, forthe kingdom of heaven has come near !

T o come closer to thekingdom of God, the kingdom of love, for everyone it is necessaryto purify the soul from the sins, which are layers of hatred andpride, layered in the soul. With repentance these layers arepurified and the soul is approaching the divine love.

Matthew 3:10

The ax is already at the rootof the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit willbe cut down and thrown into the fire.

Here souls are represented astrees that bear good and bad fruit, and every tree that does notbear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

If one soul does not bear thefruit of love, butinstead , does evil or hate s someone, it is cut down andthrown into the fire. The fire represents the sufferings through which the soul is purified from the hatred.

Matthew 4:8-9

Again, the devil took him to avery high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world andtheir splendor.All this I will give you, he said, if you willbow down and worship me.

The devil tempted Christ, trying to offer Him earthly riches. But He is theKing of another kingdom - the kingdom of love.

Matthew 4:11

Then the devil left him, andangels came and attended him.

The angels help and serve anyone who lives in the kingdom of love orseek s to find it.

Matthew 4:23

Jesus went throughout Galilee,teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good newsof thekingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among thepeople.

The Gospel of love is being preached to this day, andthe strength that comes fromGod heals every sickness and disease. This is the proof that thiskingdom exists, and life inside it is better than the presentlife.

Matthew 5:3-12

Blessed are thepoor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst forrighteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they willbe called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because ofrighteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed areyou when people insult you, persecute youand falsely say all kinds of evil against you because ofme. Rejoice and beglad, because great is your reward inheaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who werebefore you.

The poor in spirit are the humble , those who do not think about themselves that theyare something better than the others, but consider themselves asnothing. They will live forever in the kingdom of God - the Sourceof love.

Blessed are also theweeping in this world, the meek, the starving for justice, themerciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, the persecutedbelievers and all who have suffered for Christ in some way - allthey will drink the living water of His love in Hiskingdom.

The prize for all ofthem is eternal life in eternal joy and happiness.

Matthew 5:19

Therefore anyone who sets asideone of the least of these commands and teaches others accordinglywill be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoeverpractices and teaches these commands will be called great in thekingdom of heaven.

The kingdom of love has a hierarchicalstructure: it consists of beings which transfer the power of theHoly Spirit in varying degrees. Those who have greater love aregreater in the kingdom, while those who have less love, aresmaller.

Matthew 5:20

For I tell you that unless yourrighteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers ofthe law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

If the righteousness of those who seek love,do es not exceed therighteousness of those hypocrites who only talk about God, but donot love their brothers, they will not enter into the kingdom,because inside it, all beings love each other and nothing differentfrom pure love can enter.

Matthew 5:39-41

But I tell you, do not resistan evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn tothem the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and takeyour shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to goone mile, go with them two miles.

Quality of those who live in the kingdom is that they donot resist evil, but forgive everything and everyone, leaving thecourt in God's hands. They use the divine love as a shield and as aweapon to fight against everything that is evil.

Matthew 5:44-48

But I tell you, love yourenemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may bechildren of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on theevil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and theunrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will youget? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greetonly your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do noteven pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Fatheris perfect.

To love your enemies: this is the biggest challenge for every human soul. To achievesuch perfection, the soul must have reached absolute humility andrepentance. Only in these states of consciousness, love for theenemies becomes possible. When you start to love them, they ceaseto be your enemies and you start loving them as friends.

Matthew 6:1

Be careful not to practiceyour righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If youdo, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

If you do your good deeds obviously and the others can seethem, you do it because of your pride. Pride places you outside ofthe kingdom of love, where you remain without reward.

Matthew 6:14-15
