"Worth Gaining"

 Mark 8:36 – "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world but forfeit their soul?”

Gain the whole world but loose our soul. That is a really good question that Christian need to ask themselves .  Do we really want to sell our soul to this world. Our soul which our Heavenly Father sacrificed His life because he loved us. Our soul is how we make descisions on this earth, it is our conscience.

Our soul is something that will come with me to Heaven, my body and the things of this world will turn to dust when we are gone.

The world and worldly things belong to Satan. The world and things of the world are like sand or dust. When you pick up sand you can contain it in your hand only for a little while. But slowly it will slip away and fade. You see the world does not stay with us forever there are many ways to loose it. For example war, hatred,anger, coveting, and death. So what is their to gain of this world, nothing. We are here which is only for a season. We are here to serve God and lead people to the cross, we are here to show Christ’s love, mercy, grace. We are to be Christ like examples.

Matthew 16.19-24 “ Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy and where thieves and break in and steal. For where your treasure is , there your heart will be also.”

There is nothing in this world to gain. Our soul is a gift from God which last forever. That is a possession which everyone wants to gain and to hold onto for the rest of their lives.

May these verses bless you and that you may be able to apply them to your lives.
