Abstract

In order to make the word of the Gospel fruitful, men must make their soul a,,good soil”. To do so, they must cleanse their soul and their mind of all preoccupations that are often destructive because they,,choke the word making it unfruitful”. First of all, the believer must choose on single Master to serve, his entire life, because,,you cannot serve both God and money”, then he must seek,,his kingdom and his righteousness”, and,,all, these things will be given to you as well”, as a gift, meaning on top of everything, meaning along God’s kingdom. Thus we find out from the Gospel of Mathew that the poor and the needy, through,,the worry about this world” experience the,,fear of poverty”; just as the rich experience the,,deceit of wealth” the,,fear of the one close by”, which, in situations of,,overpopulation” can get to ask for, or even steal the rich man’s wealth, obviously only to survive.
