For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? - Matthew 16:26
Toward the end of His time on earth, Jesus explained to his disciples the reason why He has to die. It was for them to live. The death of Jesus is to redeem our souls from death.
These days, believers has become materialistic and we pay more attention to the needs of our flesh than the need of our soul. Every now and then, believer in pursuit of his/her daily need so so with little regards to the soul. One of the most important and valuable thing in this world is the salvation of our soul.
Having all the money in this world, achieving your physical goals of this world is not important than your soul. After death, we will become immortal, and then everything you see now will already be useless. The only useful thing that will remains is your saved soul.
In search of your daily needs, take heeds to your soul. Don't sell your conscience because of money. Don't be desperate to make it at all cost. Guard your heart with all diligent. Yeah, we got to live good and well in this world. But you also got to protect your soul from the pollution of this world. The greatest disaster in this world is not the earthquake or flood or fire. The greatest disaster is to lose your soul.
Enjoy life on this earth but in enjoying, always remember this present world is temporary, something far better is to come.
What profit a man/woman if he/she gains the whole world but loses his/her soul? The unfortunate answer is NOTHING.
Good Morning and a happy sunday to you...
