And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? (Mark 8: 36,37)
Often times believers think this verse does not apply to them but to those who are not saved! This applies to anyone who spends all their energy seeking contentment based on possessions, position, or power. All the efforts is ultimately worthless if our intentions and motives are not right with God. The position/power/fame/name is what even spiritually anointed people may fall in trap for!! Whatever we have on earth or gained or attained is TEMPORARY; it cannot be exchanged for OUR soul. If we work hard at getting what we want, we might have a "pleasurable” life, but there will be a void/hollow and emptiness if it isn’t really entered around JESUS?? Let us continue the pursuit of God more than the selfish pursuit in all realms!! If we truly follow Jesus, we will OBEY him…He will show us what it means to live abundantly now and to have eternal life as well.
