ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

According to the Strongs concordance, the Greek word ψυχή or psychē is used 95 times in the New Testament and is usually translated as soul. This word refers to the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, and aversions of our heart and soul etc. Sometimes it is even translated with the word ”Life” because of its root meaning which speaks of what makes you love being you. In light of that, take a look at this Scripture.

Mark 8:36-37 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

I have known people who have a lot of money but do not enjoy their life. As you look at humanity closely, it becomes evident that money and things are not the secrets to life. The secret to exciting and abundant life is found in these next Scriptures.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

Abundant life is attained when you find Jesus and experience all that he is! The life found in Jesus is the well where extraordinary, wonderful life is found. You can have all the money in the world and hate living! There is nothing in this world that truly satisfies! A rewarding and fulfilling life is found within a loving relationship with our heavenly Father! I pray that your heart would be further opened to the most amazing way of living; the life that is filled with love, forgiveness and acceptance through Jesus Christ! Think about it, what in this world is worth losing your soul over?…

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
