Presentation transcript:

We live in a materialistic world and have a tendency to value only the material things in life A university president was said to have addressed a student body on, "How To Be A Success". Not once did he refer to any spiritual values in life Jesus talked about a man whom we would consider to be a success in life, but he was an absolute failure because he placed all emphasis on the material side of life. Lk.12:16-21

THE NATURE OF THE SOUL – IMMORTAL – Man has something that distinguishes him from the animals Gen.1:26,27; 2:7; Eccl.12:7 – Soul worth more than all the world Mk.8:36 – Soul of man does not die Matt.10:28 T H E V A L U E O F T H E S O U L

THE VALUE MAN PLACES ON THE WORLD – In dollars the value of the world is almost beyond estimation – Many have tried to possess the whole world – A Moslem hero named Saladin conquered Egypt and established himself as Sultan of Egypt and Syria After taking town after town even Jerusalem he had to yield to death Moments before he died he had a herald to suspend upon the point of a lance the shroud in which he was to be buried and cry, "LOOK, here is all Saladin the great, the conqueror, the emperor bears away with him of all his glory – Solomon tried the material things and found them to be vanity and a striving after the wind. Eccl 2:11 T H E V A L U E O F T H E S O U L

THE VALUE OF THE SOUL IS SHOWN BY: – Its immortal nature Matt.10:28 – Satan's desire to have the soul shows its value Matt.4:9 ; 1Pet.5:8 – The value is seen in Heaven's work to save it and the price paid for its redemption Jhn.9:4 ; Rom.5:8 ; 1Pet.1:18,19 – Value seen in sorrow over its loss and joy over its salvation Gen.6:5,6 ; Lk.15:7,10 – Value seen in the home prepared for the soul Matt.25:34; 2Pet.3:9 T H E V A L U E O F T H E S O U L

The great tragedy is that man is selling his soul, that which is so priceless, for fleeting trifles, for momentary fleshly gratification. God has provided the power to save souls Rom.1:16 Our soul is too precious to spend our time living after the flesh, to take a chance on something not in the Word of God, to place all emphasis on the temporal and physical values of life.
