“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” (Matt 16:26)

What is our Soul We all have one (Gen 2:7, Matt 10:28) It has immeasurable worth, it is priceless (Matt 16:26, Mk 8:36) We are commanded to love with it (Deut 6:5, Matt 22:37) Soul lives forever (Matt 10:28, Rev 20:12-5) Only God can redeem our souls (Jn 20:22, Ezek 37:9-10, Ps 62:1)

Our Souls Need Protecting Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (NIV) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life (NLT) Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. (NSAB) Proverbs 4:23

God’s wants us to protect them He understands we need rest (Mark 6:31) He understands we are sometimes more willing than able (Matt 26:41) He understands we need the power of prayer (Phil 4:4-7)

Our souls need saving “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away” (Isa 64:6)

The safest place for any soul is in the hands of God 1Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. 2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken… 5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. (Psalm 62)
