[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it . [36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit their own soul? We have to revisit this line of thought and this implication that the Christ is warning us about. We should know/understand the reasons why you can't serve two masters. You will love one and despise the other. I've often written that even true Christians sometimes serve two masters. They make excuses for it. We have been accustomed to living in a way that is far removed from the true way of the Lord. We see that as life but God tells us that is death. He said I put life and death before you choose life. Sin is death and that doesn't change .
There is a struggle amongst even true Christians in the body of Christ which is huge around the world from century to century. And I recently addressed that in depth. And sometimes I'm writing about things that perhaps we don't have but there are people who do and lost within that. For example I've never experienced being a multimillionaire or the richest man in the world so I don't particularly know what that feels/is like. But God tells us a man in that condition will be far removed from him and headed for hell. I've never experienced being a world famous superstar flocked by the world. But I did read about John Lennon wanting to escape it once when he had it. I never experienced winning a lottery either in the millions or these super lotteries in the multimillions and knowing what that is like. But people, out of the blue win such lotteries and if you research you will find out that a good portion of these people destroy their lives very quickly. Because money takes management. It can and will become your god. You cannot serve God and Mammon. You cannot serve God and money. It is written that Christ had nowhere to lay his head. The rebellion of the world against the true God is through the roof. God flooded the world once and it grieved him that he created man. Jesus said the least will be first in his kingdom. The thief on the cross was not a rich man but a thief who repented and acknowledged Christ as his Lord and savior. The other mocked him. One received eternal life and one probably received eternal damnation. So don't mock God.
Now recently I spoke about naysayers and I came across a video of Arnold Schwarzenegger speaking about success. Some musicians who are famous will tell you they went through all sorts of ups and downs until they made it. So many people aspire to such a lifestyle but that lifestyle is not of God but of the world. In the book John Lennon wrote in his own right he spoke of a lot of experiences that he had when the Beatles became famous. He used terminology that is strong. They expected them to donate lots of money to charities and such. There was chaos when they went to a certain nation because the Beatles kindly turned down an invitation. Their road tour manager suffered an attack.
So yes when people like Arnold Schwarzenegger give these speeches even Tony Robbins or even president Donald Trump writes about success in his book these are all good pointers and inspiration to get ahead. Many people will say you can't do it. You can do it. The Bible says all things are achievable to a true believer in Christ. Heaven is a holy place not a sinful place. God is Holy and men are unholy. You see why Christ had nowhere to lay his head. So I don't denounce Arnold Schwarzenegger's speech. But sometimes the things we highly esteem are nothing more than an abomination unto God. Our minds should be on God's purpose and his narrow way. If we could only apply this mind frame of thinking and be men and women of God instead of men and women of the world in rebellion to the true God that is the narrow way to eternal life. You cannot be in the devil's camp and God's camp at the same time. You certainly can be deceived. And so with this said I wrote this as a wake up call and to explain success in God's eyes. What men highly esteem is an abomination unto God . The temple is Holy.
The wages of sin is death . Romans 6:23 People take for granted their own soul. People don't realize that if you die in your sins you might be in agony in hell for eternity. The Bible says there's no rest in hell just torment.

Warning the high risk of losing your soul
Mark. 8 Verses 34 to 38
[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it . [36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?

In my closing I will leave you with this verse..
John 2:16
King James Version
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise .
Where are you going when you die the first death? Where is your faith and trust?
