What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits his own soul? - Luke 9:25 (ESV)
The world is obsessed with success. How we are obsessed with our own personal success! How is success measured? Does success mean getting a good education, having a good job, a good family and being a good citizen?
That is a very short-sighted view. All these are necessary and God wants us to be successful in those areas as well. But that is not everything.
What if we have worldly success and then spend eternity in hell?
Knowing God through His Son through the power of His Spirit is the greatest success in life.
