Gaining the World
Mark 8:36-37
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?…


What a man loses this side of the grave by this unholy bargain.

1. A good conscience.

2. His communion with God.

3. His hope in the future.Some are selling their souls —

1. For pleasure.

2. For the world.

3. For business.

4. For fear of ridicule.

(J. Vaughan, M. A.)
