Testimony
I read many messages about the Holy Spirit and about Jesus Christ, and one of them took me to a serious place - I felt I had to share it. It is an old writer's words about the soul:
You may have plenty to eat and drink, clothes and money - all important things. But you have one thing more important still: your soul. Your soul is eternal; it will live for ever. The world and all it contains shall come to an end - "the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10) - and the angel's voice shall proclaim one day that time shall be no longer (Revelation 10:6). But that shall never be said of your soul.
Realise that your soul is the one thing worth living for. No place, no employment is good for you which injures your soul. No friend or companion deserves your confidence who makes light of your soul's concerns. The man who hurts your person, your property or your character does you only temporary harm; the true enemy is the one who contrives to damage your soul. "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28).
Think for a moment what we were sent into the world for. Not merely to eat and drink and indulge the desires of the flesh. Not merely to work, sleep, laugh, talk and enjoy ourselves, thinking of nothing but time. You were meant for something higher and better: you were placed here to train for eternity. Your body was only intended to be the house of your immortal spirit.
The day will soon come when the soul will be the only thing anyone thinks of, and the only question anyone cares about: is my soul saved? Be wise in time. Attend to your soul.

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 (KJV)
