THE VALUE OF A SOUL

DECEMBER 2, 2025

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall

gain the whole world, and lose his own

soul (Mark 8:36).

To God, one soul is worth more than all the

wealth, resources and power in the world. That’s

a staggering truth, yet it’s the reality of Kingdom values.

Nothing compares to the worth of a human soul. The Bible

says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should

not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

The Lord Jesus didn’t die for the systems, buildings

and vegetations of the world; He died for people. Every soul

you meet carries eternal value. Every person, regardless

of background or behaviour, matters deeply to God. Their

value is the blood of Jesus Christ: “Forasmuch as ye

know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible

things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation

received by tradition from your fathers; But with the

precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish

and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19).

When you truly grasp the value of a soul, evangelism

becomes more than a legality; it becomes a love mission.

You’ll weep over the lost. You’ll pray for them. You’ll go

out of your comfort zone to reach them. The devil wants

people distracted by fame, wealth, and pleasure so that

they forget eternity. But as a child of God, you must see

beyond the surface. See every soul as a treasure waiting

to be reclaimed.

To further let us know the value of a soul, the Bible

says, “...joy shall be in heaven over one sinner

that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just

persons, which need no repentance” (Luke 15:7). Think

about it: If all heaven rejoices over one sinner that repents,

how much more should we labour to see it happen again

and again. Therefore, make soul winning your habit and

lifestyle. Rescue destinies. Deliver the souls of men from

darkness into light and from the power of Satan unto God.

Nothing could be more fulfilling.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank you for opening my eyes to see

people the way you see them. Thank you for helping me

appreciate and recognize the true value of a soul; this

makes my heart burn with compassion for the lost as I

passionately preach the Gospel, delivering them from

the domain of darkness into your marvellous light, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.
