"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"- Mark 8:36
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"- Matthew 16:26
What can you give in exchange for your soul? Will you trade your soul for fame or fortune? For riches or money? What is the soul and the price for it? The Bible presents an interesting question to us.
I don't know the answer, but what I do know is that I decided to give my soul to someone who will honor it and cherish it. Who will protect it and I gave it too Him freely. It didn't cost me a thing and He didn't steal it from me. I gave it to Jesus Christ the Son of the True and Living God.
I don't know what would happen if you sell your soul or exchange it, but I do know what will happen if you give it to Christ. The Bible says that, "God so loved the world that He GAVE His only Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him WILL NOT PERISH, BUT WILL have EVERLASTING LIFE," John 3:16. That is a promise.
Does that mean life on Earth will be easy? No, but it will be a little easier to bare. It will still bring you heartache and pain, but you will have comfort and someone who you can confide in and cast your cares upon. Unconditional Love and Forgiveness. Nonjudgmental and Merciful. These are the things I can promise you and most of all a Choice. What will you choose?
"For the wages of SIN is DEATH, BUT the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
