THE VALUE OF A SOUL
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 [KJV]
The value of a thing is determined amongst others by the price you have to pay for it. So, cost determines value. The value of the soul of man can be seen by the cost our Heavenly Father paid to buy it back from sin and Satan. The soul of man is made to live forever. The Soul of man is what will finally end up in heaven or in hell/lake of fire. The breathe of Yahweh at creation was what gave birth to the soul of man (see Genesis 2:7). So, the soul of man is a spiritual reality. Man is not a body. Flesh and blood cannot not inherit the kingdom of Yahweh (see I Corinthians 15:50). Yahweh created man to be like Him and to be His Authority on Earth. However, man handed this authority to the devil, selling himself as a slave to the devil (see Luke 4:6). Man thwarted the plan of Yahweh in collaboration with Satan. Yahweh in His mercy hashed a redemption plan for man. It is important to understand that nothing in heaven or on earth could do anything about redeeming man because the cost is absolutely not affordable by them.
