Your Most Important Question

What will it profit a man if he gains

the whole world and loses his own soul?

This is the most important question

you will ever answer

All the Wealth in the World

Here is the question for you: “what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” Seriously. Think about it. In 2010, Forbes magazine listed five billionaires as the richest men on earth. The wealthiest man is from Mexico and is worth more than $53 billion dollars. Yet we know that death comes to all – not even the richest man on earth will escape death: “it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”1

So what if you owned it all – all of the wealth in the world? Estimates indicate that you would then be worth more than 50 trillion dollars! You would be the most wealthy, most famous, most powerful person on earth! But you would still be faced with these questions from Jesus Christ:

“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” and “What will a man give in exchange for his soul?”2

Lose His Soul?

What does it mean to say a man “loses his own soul?” Having a soul means that you continue to exist beyond the death of your body.

You will be somewhere forever.

The Word of God teaches that there is a place of everlasting life and blessing as well as a place of eternal shame and contempt. For instance, (more…)

Which Sin Cannot Be Forgiven?

That’s a pretty important question, don’t you think?

After all, if there is a sin which God will not forgive, shouldn’t you find out what it is and avoid it at all costs?

In this message from the Gospel of Mark, you can find the answer to this important question.

What Is Your Life?

Did you see these balloons at the Hancock County Fair? Why do they ask, “What Is Your Life?”

Helium-filled balloons are a lot like life — here today and gone tomorrow!

You may have noticed that helium balloons deflate a lot faster than balloons filled with air. Scientists tell us that this is because helium atoms are lighter and smaller than the oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air — so they escape more quickly. And when the balloon is all stretched out, it’s easier for those helium atoms to escape.

Helium balloons are a pretty good illustration of life, don’t you think? So “what is your life?” This question for you is found in the Bible, and it is a question that you must think about –

“…yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” James 4:14.

So whether is it a diagnosis of cancer, an automobile accident, kidnapping, or a nuclear holocaust ,we know life is short. Why not find the answer to this question that God is asking you? He asked you this question so that you could find the answers that He has provided for you. If you are like most people, you are thinking, “I don’t have time to think about ‘religious stuff’.” Here is the problem: Most world religions are about things that people try to do to get close to God; Biblical Christianity is about trusting the things that God has done to get close to you! Wouldn’t you like to know what God has done to get close to you?

It’s questions like these that lead us to The Most Important Questions in your life.

To illustrate how short your life is, think about it this way. What if one lifetime were like one year? How would you plan it? Click here.

Life is so short! Other people have wrestled with this question of “What Is Your Life?” If you would like to read their stories — and the answers they found — click here.
