For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36, KJV)
Growing up, it was a known fact that people were God conscious so much so that they weigh the consequences of their actions engaging in it. That is not the case today as immorality and wickedness in its highest order has become the new normal. Young men now join cult groups so easily and without any persuasion, but those days people were beguiled into cultism. Our girls now go into prostitution and call it runs. And they go further to say prostitute are those on the road. Whatever it is called, evil can never replace good. Look around these days, what do we see? Thieves in disguise and they call it yahoo. It has so advance into ritual killings and has gotten a new name; “yahoo plus” and even parents encourage their wards to be involved. Same sex marriage was only heard and practised abroad, but today, before our very eyes, we see them everywhere. No matter what euphemism evil is called, evil remains evil and whosoever partakes in such acts has won a free one way ticket to hell except they repent. And God’s arms are wide open and earnestly waiting for them to repent Verse 37 of the same passage asks what man can give in place of his soul. No wonder Colossians 3:2 says
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Because nothing can replace the soul.
Dear friend, heaven and hell are more real than we can imagine. So I beseech you by the mercies of God to weigh your options wisely, and retrace your steps as the need be, and as you do, things will surely get better for you.
It is well with you.
