Presentation transcript:

Matthew 16:24-27

Valuable Because…It Came From God! – God made man in His own image (Gen. 1:26-27) God’s nature is spirit (John 4:24); He does not have flesh and blood (Luke 24:39; Matt. 16:17; 1 Cor. 15:50) Man (i.e., His soul/spirit) is made in the image of God’s spirit – God is “the Father of spirits” (Heb. 12:9) – He “forms the spirit of man within him” (Zech. 12:1) – This is what sets us apart from the rest of creation (cf. Psa. 8:3-8)

Valuable Because…It Is Immortal! – The soul God fused within the body will live forever “Soul” used variously: individual person, biological life, etc. “Spirit” is used variously: breath, wind, attitude, person, etc. But their most significant use is often used interchangeably – There is a part/aspect of man that is immortal, non- material and undying Jesus said the soul cannot be killed or destroyed (Matt. 10:28; Luke 12:4)

Valuable Because… It Lives on After Death, Separate from the Body! – At the death of the body, the spirit departs (Jas. 2:26) Examples: Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59; Luke 16:22; 8:55 – The spirit not only departs the body but it continues to consciously exist/live (Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 6:9) – The soul is, therefore, more valuable than even the body (2 Cor. 4:16; 5:1; Mt. 5:29-30) – “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it” (Ecc. 12:7).

Valuable Because…It Was Our First Gift from God! – Without the spirit, the body is dead (Jas. 2:26) – The Lord “forms the spirit of man within him” (Zech. 12:1), and He does this on the day that life begins in the womb…9 months before birth Jer. 1:5; cf. Isa. 49:1, 5 Psa. 139:13-16 – That which is in the womb is “in the image of God,” not a “blob of tissue” for 9 months! Ecc. 11:5 in ESV – “As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.”

Valuable Because… It Is Worth More Than the Whole World! – The value of the soul cannot be measured by: Material standards because it is not material Worldly standards because it is not worldly Human standards because it is not human – The soul’s value eclipses any material value! – “For what profit is it to a man if…” (Matt. 16:26) “…he gains the whole world…?” “…and loses/forfeits his own soul?” “Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Valuable Because…Jesus Paid the Price for It! – Jesus did not die for the physical body – Jesus gave His life (the ultimate price) for our souls! Your body does not belong to you (1 Cor. 6:19) Your soul/spirit does not belong to you (1 Cor. 6:20) “Bought at a price” and belong to God (1 Cor. 6:20) “Precious blood of Christ” redeemed souls (1 Pe. 1:18-20) – Christ’s death shows that no soul is unimportant or worthless in His eyes

Valuable Because… God Can Save It, No Matter How Stained! – The soul can be lost (Matt. 16:26). And, the soul can be saved (Jas. 1:21). – God wants ALL men to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4) – God gave ONE universal cleanser – blood of Jesus (2:5) – God gave ONE absolute method – the truth (1 Tim. 2:4) “Obeying the truth” purifies a sinner’s soul (1 Pet. 1:22) “Returning to truth” saves a wayward soul (James 5:19-20) – If it is lost, it cannot be replaced

Valuable Because… It Will Spend an Eternity in One of Two Places! – “Your soul will be required of you” (Luke 12:20) – Upon judgment by the Savior of souls: Some souls will be sentenced to everlasting life (Matt. 25:46; 7:14) Some souls will be sentenced to everlasting punishment (Matt. 25:46; 7:13)

Soul-Searching Questions We Must Answer – What would you take for your soul? – What would you give in exchange for your soul? – What value do you place on your soul? – What value do you place on the souls of others? – One day you will have to leave this world – then what? – Have you committed your soul to God (1 Pet. 4:19)?

Is your soul right with God? – Believe Jesus is God’s Son – Mark 16:16 – Repent of your sins – Luke 13:3 – Confess your faith in Jesus – Matthew 10:32-33 – Be immersed into Christ – Galatians 3:27 God will forgive you of your sins – Acts 2:38 God will add you to His church – Acts 2:47 God will write your name in heaven – Hebrews 12:23 – Commit your soul to faithful living – 1 Peter 4:19
