THE WORTH OF A SOUL

The worth of a soul! Who can count its value? Who can appraise its worth? An immortal soul is beyond all price.


In money, one soul is of more value than the wealth of the whole world.


In suffering, it is better that all the people of the world would suffer all their lives on earth, if by their suffering one soul could be saved.


In journeying, no foreign land is too distant or any portion of it too inaccessible, for .all the people of the world to take a journey there, if by so doing one soul could be saved.


There is no trouble too great, no humiliation too deep, no suffering too severe, no love too strong, no labor too hard, no expense too large, but that is worth it, if it is spent in the effort to win a soul.


Of all the creations in this world and in the world to come, the greatest, the most wonderful, the most priceless, the most enduring is a soul.


God loves the soul more than all other creation. He fashioned it after His own image, and made it like unto Himself. Every soul has departed from God and gone astray, and God has brought every soul back again with a price. That price was the blood of His only begotten Son, Who took upon Himself the sin of the soul, suffered the death penalty, that the soul might be saved, cleansed, and made holy again. God loves every soul with an everlasting, eternal love greater and deeper than any human love can possibly be.


Satan hates the soul. In Satan's enmity towards God, he is using all his energy, using every snare, his utmost cunning, employing every means with the one single purpose of ruining the soul of man, because Satan knows the soul is God's most cherished creation, the very apple of His eye.


A soul will never die.


When this earth of ours has crumbled to dust and has passed away into the forgotten past, a soul will still be in its freshness of youth.


When in the fathomless future eternity has become hoary with age, the soul will still be young.
When a million, million eternities have each lived out their endless ages and have rolled by into the unthinkable past and time is no more, the soul will still be living, a conscious personal reality, endowed with perpetual youth and perpetual life.


God has said: "He that winneth souls is wise."
