What is Written in the Gospels
For what purposes were the Gospels written? For whatever reasons they were written, they gave us information on living Christ Jesus. But, by clearly understanding the reasons why the Gospels were written, we can strengthen our faith in Christ Jesus.
The contents of the Gospels are as follows:
1. The God loves the poor more than the rich.
2. The souls of the poor should be accepted in Heaven, but the souls of the rich would fall into the hells.
3. The souls of the poor should be consoled, filled, satisfied, and given their blessings and eternal life, but the souls of the rich would be neglected, punished, and finally destroyed.
4. Therefore, we should love the God and our neighbors as much as we love ourselves.
5. Satan and evil spirits attack followers of the God and Christ Jesus as shown by the death on the cross of Christ Jesus.
As extension of this teaching, we can get the following teachings:
Being rich is being evil. Being poor is regarded as being faithful. If a poor man is regrettably found evil, he should be expelled out of Heaven. Even if a rich man is found miraculously faithful, he should be accepted in Heaven.
Being elites of the society, happy men in this world, successful men in the human world, or members of the upper class means, in most cases, being rich; therefore, they should naturally fall into the hells.
However, they go to the hells spontaneously without being forced to do so. It is because the souls of evil men cannot bear or withstand the light of the God in Heaven. They evade the light of the God, so that they go down deep in shadows in the spirit world that are called the hells.
The light of the God is the source of love, truth, and life.
Put simply, the Gospels were written in order to save, help, and rescue poor men, people in the lower class, unhappy men, inflicted or abused men, unsuccessful men, etc. by telling them that their souls will be accepted in Heaven and they will be given eternal life.
Rich men usually love their wealth and their rich lives in this world. Poor men naturally hate their poverty and their poor lives in this world. That is why Christ Jesus said not to love your lives in this world but hate your lives in this world. The wealth poor men would receive in Heaven is much greater than the wealth rich men are enjoying in this world beyond comparison.
In summary, the Gospels are a kind of devotional songs for poor men. Love to poor people made Christ Jesus preach among people. And the Gospels are based on this love to poor people.

John 12, King James Version23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
