The Ultimate Loss: Your Soul

The loss of a soul is the heaviest loss that can befall a man. The worst and most painful of diseases - the most distressing bankruptcy of fortune - the most disastrous shipwrecks - are a mere scratch of a pin compared to the loss of a soul. All other losses are bearable, or but for a short time, but the loss of a soul is for evermore. It is to lose God, and Christ, and heaven, and glory, and happiness, to all eternity. It is to be cast away forever, helpless and hopeless in hell.
