Rhapsody of Realities 2 December 2025: The Value of a Soul
SCRIPTURE: 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.

FURTHER STUDY:
Luke 15:3-7
3 So He told them this parable:
4 What man of you, if he has a hundred sheep and should lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness (desert) and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he gets home, he summons together [his] friends and [his] neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance
John 3:16-17
16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him
James 5:20
20 Let the [latter] one be sure that whoever turns a sinner from his evil course will save [that one’s] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins [procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the convert].
