Of the many books in the Bible, the gospels are the most popular among believers. These biographies of Christ tell of his divine nature, the mysterious birth, the miracles he performs, painful death, miraculous resurrection and ascension. For those who accept the teachings of Christ, these books become a guide in spiritual quests.

the gospel of Luke, Matthew, Mark, John
Instructions
Step 1
To begin living the gospel, study the earthly journey of Jesus Christ described in the Bible. The Bible includes four canonical gospels officially accepted in Christianity. These are the gospels of Matthew, Luke, Mark and John. Despite the fact that the authorship of all these books is questioned by serious scholars, it is generally accepted that they reflect the main covenants of Christ.
Step 2
Make it a rule to refer to the gospels from time to time. Even if you have read the life story of Jesus more than once, you may miss important points that are hidden in these messages. Read and reread the gospels regularly and carefully. Otherwise, living according to the gospel will remind only of adherence to the so-called universal human values, many of which have only a distant relation to the teachings of the Christian church.
Step 3
Realize that living the gospel is not a competition for the best. Each person is individual and comes to the idea of the existence of Christ in his own way. Quite often the road to understanding the essence of Christianity lies through doubts and uncertainty. Familiarization with the facts described in the gospels, confirmed by eyewitness testimonies, strengthens the spirit of those who are at the very beginning of spiritual development.
Step 4
When reading the gospel, pay attention to the moral principles that Christ preached, addressing his listeners and disciples. The commandments of Jesus are most fully reflected in the famous Sermon on the Mount, which was included in the Gospel of Matthew. This collection of moral standards should be part of your life if you decide to start living the gospel.
Step 5
When faced with the next moral choice that worldly life is full of, remember how Christ advised us to act in this or that situation. Always remember the golden rule, which is: Treat others as you would like them to treat you. In this central position of the moral and ethical teaching called Christianity, a deep philosophical meaning is hidden. By following this New Testament principle, you will make your life filled with moral content that runs through each gospel.
