About this ebook

With the coming of Jesus the Christ, the covenant of the New Testament is created. Therein can be found new spiritual guidelines that those who love God will gravitate to as a consequence of being saved. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus specifically identifies eight states of blessedness that are pleasing to God. In other verses of Scripture contained in the New Testament, additional spiritual attitudes and responses are described that help believers to live in accordance with the will of God.

The degree to which we live in accordance with Gods will, (presented herein as codes) is the degree to which we attain heaven on earth, leading to perfect happiness with Jesus in the world to come. The codes consist of commandments and other rules of behavior; kernels of wisdom and truths revealed by Jesus; and spiritual guidelines intended to assist us on the road to salvation. They will be numbered and discussed as encountered sequentially in the New Testament, starting with the gospel according to Matthew and ending with the book of Revelation.

The appropriate verses of Scripture from which each code is derived will accompany them and be highlighted. Explanatory remarks are included whenever greater clarity or additional emphasis is needed. All codes and commentary are derived from the words of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

Heaven on Earth
Author

Francis J. Connelly

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the author is eighty-three years of age as of this writing. Frank is a veteran of the Korean War, having served fourteen months there as a member of the Army Security Agency. In 1975, after a career lasting twenty years, Frank retired as a lieutenant from the New York City Police Department. He first put pen to paper late in life when his daughter Catherine and her husband Tom presented him with a computer on his seventieth birthday. Softly Now the Trumpet is his fifth book. The first two books were autobiographical; the next two were about Jesus, as is this one. Frank says that if he lives long enough to write another book, it too will be about Jesus. “There is no better, more interesting person or subject matter to spend words on than Jesus, the humble son of a humble carpenter. Jesus is the perfect man to emulate, and the perfect God to worship.”
