There is no more generally accepted truth than that of the existence of the human soul, yet there is no truth more commonly disregarded. The body reigns everywhere. The body is fed, nursed, exercised, comforted, every limb clothed, every organ gratified. But the soul is undervalued, famished, forgotten. Its claims are slighted; its eternal destiny is unheeded; its very existence is ignored.
My friend, your soul is really you. It is the living being that lives within your body - thinking, speaking, acting - using your body as a vehicle of communication with the world.
Your soul, with all its attributes - conscience, reason, will, affections - destined for immortality, but ruined by sin - is of infinite importance.
Where is your soul? Have you surrendered it by faith into the Redeemer’s hands? Are you committing the keeping of your soul to Him as a faithful Creator?
Do not think that there can be safety or lasting happiness otherwise. The sensualist, hoping for satisfaction in pleasure, may say to his soul: Soul . . . take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But, What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Only Christ, the Son of God, can save, and feed, and keep your soul unto life eternal. And why does He prize it so? Because it cost Him so much - His very life.
Will you not come to Jesus, the eternal Lover of your precious soul, and give it into His keeping NOW? Tomorrow may be too late. v
