“If John hears his father say something, he will take it as gospel. John believes everything his father says.”
“Jane enjoys cooking. She takes any advice given my Gordon Ramsay as gospel.”
It means to believe something with strong feelings, like religious people believe in their holy books and religious leaders.

Thank you for your kind answer. Can I say believe something to be true instead of using that phrase? Is “take something as gospel” uncommon in daily conversation?

@Shuichiro_Takahashi yes, you can just say that you think something is true. If you take something as gospel, it means that you would never question if it is true or not. Taking something as gospel means that it would be EXTREMELY difficult to change your mind about it.
