Christian Living

Mark 8:36

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"

St. Augustine described soul as follows "a special substance, endowed with reason, adapted to rule the body". The soul is the seat of our personality, traits and intelligience. The soul was formed when God breathed his spirit into the nostrils of Adam when he was made of dust.

We live in a world which is very fast and fancy. It is very certain that our souls will be lost permanantly if we do not repent and come to Christ for salvation during the period of grace now. I believe things would always be fine till one day when disaster will strike us,and we will be left alone in the wilderness. The soul which found its happiness through the vanities of this world, would be tortured in the hell by satan.

We may gain everything in this world by our intelligience and abilities. We can become world renowned celebrities. We can accumulate money for generations to come. We may have the most powerful posts of this world. But yet if we have not met Jesus Christ and surrendered our lives to Him, everything is vain and would be like garbage on the day of judgement. Hell is a very cruel place to be in. It is not as easy and cozy as we may think. The very description of hell would run fear down our spines. Satan is in the process of accumulating people to be thrown into hell.

Let us never fall to satan's trick which blinds our eyes and thoughts from the need of salvation. Jesus Christ can give us the peace that we long for today. He can just blast away satan if we surrender our lives to Him and allow Him to be the Lord of our lives. Christ is too good a person to rule our lives without us inviting Him. He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks all the time. We need to hear it and allow Him to come inside.

I challenge that life would not be the same once Jesus is with us. He will give us all the needs of this world and eternity. We can live without fear, anxiety and confusion if Christ directs us. There is no safer place to rest than the rock Jesus Christ. Heaven is such a glorious place. A place of eternal joy and a place where there would not be any sorrow. Jesus Christ holds the keys to Heaven.

I would plead you to surrender your life now to Christ. Time is running by..and we never know when the period of grace would come to an end. There would not be any oppurtunity to repent after that. Once the doors are shut, it would be all over. Now is the time of salvation. Repent and enjoy life with Christ!. Remember all the greatness in this world is garbage when it comes to eternity.
