THE VALUE OF YOUR SOUL The soul, in many mythological, religious, philosophical, and psychological traditions, is the incorporeal and, in many conceptions, immortal essence of a person, living thing, or object.[1] According to some religions (including the Abrahamic religions in most of their forms), souls—or at least immortal souls capable of union with the divine[2]—belong only to human beings. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and loses his soul?” (Mark 8:36). The above statement by our Lord Jesus Christ calls for meditation and it ought to ring in our ears like a trumpet blast. It concerns our best interests. It concerns our SOULS. What a serious question these words of scripture contain! What a mighty sum of profit and loss they present to us for calculation! Where is the best accountant who could balance it up? Where is the clever mathematician who would not be baffled by the sum? “what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” it is the first step toward Heaven to find out the worth of our souls.
