Read this to the end to find out how valuable your soul is.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it. But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and for the gospel's sake, the same shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He cometh in the glory of His Father amd the Holy angels.

Now, the bible teaches that you have a body. But living down inside of your body is your soul or your spirit. Your soul is that part of you made in the image of God that lives inside of you and that's the eternal part of you. That's the important part of you. That's the real you. That's the part of you that will be living a thousand years from now, either in heaven or hell.

Jesus said one soul is worth the whole world. You may gain the whole world and awaken one morning to find that you've missed the most important thing in all of life. Why is it so valuable? Why is your soul so valuable?

First, it's valuable because it is eternal. The body is a beautiful structure. But it is matter. No matter how strong it is, it will die. It's appointed unto man once to die; you're going to die. Your body is going to go to the grave.

Death is man's greatest and personal enemy according to 1 corinthians 15. So many of the great actors and actresses we've seen on Television are already dead. Fame and fortune cannot keep away death. Howard Hughes was the richest man possibly in the United States when he died, but he died; a horrible death and miserable life towards the end of his life. So many people like that ,and somehow, they think they're going to live forever.


You tell young people that life is short, and they smile and say yes, but I have at least 30 or 40 years left. But let me tell you, the years pass by very quickly.

There's something beyond science and the scientists know it. The bible calls it soul. What is it when a person dies, the body is there, the organs are there, but something has gone out of the body. The soul. The spirit has gone out of the body. Where has it gone?

In Ecclesiastes, it says, 'Then shall the dust return unto the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto the God who gave it.'

Now which do you care for if you're a parent, a child's clothes or the child?

Imagine if a servant says, "Here are the clothes, neat and clean. But the child got lost." What would you think of that? And that's what we say. We've taken care of our body, Lord. Here's my body. I didn't neglect it. I took exercises seriously. I did all those things. I jogged regularly, I ate the proper foods and I made sure I took the vitamins and the minerals.I went to see the doctor regularly. I went to see the dentist too. My body is in good shape...until it dies. And Lord I took care of it.

But I neglected my soul. I didn't feed my soul. I didn't give any vitamins to the soul. I never read the scriptures, Your Word. I never spent any time talking to You and developing myself spiritually. I didn't obey You when You told me to love my neighbour. I didn't obey You when You talked about that neighbour down the street that was hungry, or that neighbour that was in need of a friend, that was lonely. I just didn't have time for things like that. But Lord, I really took care of my body.

Now, what do you think the Lord is going to do? You see, the body is the house and the soul is the tenant. And it's eternal. You can't be unborn. You were born to live forever and you cannot be unborn. You can't stop the process. You can change the direction of your life. Jesus said there are two roads in life: a broad road and a narrow road. The broad road leads to destruction and the narrow road leads to eternal life. And you're on one of those roads right now. Every person reading this is on one of those roads.

You can change roads. But you can't change the fact that you're a living soul and you're going to live somewhere forever. That's a sobering thought. And you've only got a few minutes, or a few hours, or a few days, or a few weeks or months to make the decision about which road you're going to be on.

And then, your soul is valuable because of God's concern. The whole Bible is concerned with the saving and developing of the soul in many ways. The Lord is longsuffering to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Notice that. God is not willing that you should ever perish. God doesn't want you to be lost. He wants you to be saved, so much so that He has delayed judgement to give you time, so much so that He gave His son on the cross for your sins. But God commended His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

He was the ultimate sacrifice.

But the scriptures says, herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His son to be a propitiation or a covering for our sins. In other words, when Christ died on the cross, He was expressing the love of God toward you and by His death, covering your sins. Every sin you've ever committed, he covers. At the cross is where it was done for you.

Fourthly , the soul is valuable because of the nature of its loss. When a community or a neighborhood loses one of the children they love, everybody suspends what they're doing to help to find that child. Likewise, your soul is so incredibly valuable to God, that He has commanded every saved soul to relegate their earthly pursuits to the background and try to save those who are still lost. What have you done about your soul?

You lose things in this life. You can't get it all. Imagine you had the whole world, but you can't get the whole world. You can't even get a quarter of it. You only get a small slice, that's all.

And you can't take ANY of it with you. We take nothing with us, and yet we spend our whole lives trying to pile it up. Even if you've got it all, it doesn't bring peace, happiness and joy. It doesn't help in time of trouble. And then you lose in the life to come too.

Finally, your soul is valuable because of the price paid for the redemption: 'for as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.'

But what about your soul? What if you lost it? What if you're losing it? What can you do about it?

Today you can repent of your sins. That word 'repent' means to say, "Lord I have sinned" and you're willing to turn from your sin. God will have to help you to turn because you can't turn by yourself, you don't have the strength to. But He'll help you. God bless you friend.

Good morning beautiful people

Your soul is valuable, that's why the devil is so determined to steal it. God really wants you to wale up though.

We always assume we'll wake up tomorrow. But what if Jesus says your soul will be required of you tonight? Invite Him into your life while you still can. Your watch can end at any time.
