Mere belief is not enough. For the spiritual life to be meaningful, one must experience directly for oneself the Truth of the scripture and manifest in their lives the highest ideals of spiritual life. Before we take our deep dive into the four gospels of Christianity with a Vedantic lens, we clarify a few concepts:
Soul = Sakshi/Pramataa/Atman = Witness
Good vs Bad = not moral claims but claims about fulfilment and happiness 
Apathea = a divine dispassion for worldly life 
Agape = an all-consuming unconditional love that turns the world into the Kingdom of Heaven
