What Do You Have To Trade?

Many years ago people used the “barter system” to conduct business. This was a system where people exchanged goods or services instead of using money. The barter system worked well as long as the items were of equal value.

Mark 8:37 asks the question, “Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” The implication is clear; there is nothing more valuable than a man's soul. And yet people are willing to exchange eternal life for things of lesser value: popularity, pleasure, wealth, success and the list goes on. The tragedy is most people are not even aware they are making choices daily that effect their eternal destiny.

Have you exchanged your soul for something of this earth?
