Soul

During our lives as teenagers in this world, we have many wants and desires. Some of these wants and desires lead to sin and stray us from the narrow path, such as greed and lust. When we work to fulfill these sinful wants, we can loose our souls. Desire for worldly goods and possessions can divert our minds from God. We can lose focus and forget all about God and his Son and lose our salvation. If we gain everything we want in this world, but don't have our salvation, what is the point? The items we obtain in this world are nothing compared to the blessings we will have in heaven.

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

Mark 8:36-37

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15:50

It is very important to stay in touch with God and focus on Him. Without God and his Son, Jesus Christ, we would not be here today. Throughout our Christian lives, we have to remember the price that Jesus paid for us and as we work for our heavenly desires, we have to accept Jesus as our savior, for it is only through him and the amazing grace that our souls are saved from eternal damnation.
