Do you want to know what is the value of your soul for God? We can say that the soul is the very essence of man and is reflected in many passages of the Bible from genesis to apocalypse. So how important is your soul to the Father? Here we explain why your soul wants God.
What is the value of your soul?
To get into the matter, we leave these key verses about the value of your soul to God:
- Mt 16:26 And what will a man gain if he wins everyone, if he loses his soul? Or, what would a man give for his soul? (LSV)
- 26 “What good is it to a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Or what will a man give for his soul? (NKJV)
Here you can learn about:
We have to admit how difficult it is for me to talk about this topic. There is a very pervasive nuance in the use of the word soul. The fact that the Bible mentions that man is a tripartite “body, soul and spirit” and that each part responds indiscriminately and differently in the process of regeneration, and the fact that the terms soul and spirit are used interchangeably in the entire Bible, all of this creates deep complexity and makes the Bible student uncomfortable at the level of teaching or preaching. Biblical commentaries differ from one another when it comes to the definition of the soul.
There is this definition that says: “I am a spirit, I come from a soul and I inhabit a body.”
The spirit of man, according to some, is the divine part that died for disobedience in the Garden of Eden. In regeneration, the spirit of man is quickened and accesses the Knowing Spirit instead of indwelling us.
The soul is considered to be the center of man’s personality or the network of intelligence, emotion and will. The body separates us from the physical world and matches the intentions of our soul.
According to this same idea,
The soul and the body respond differently to the regeneration process. According to Rom 12:2 the effort allows us to act in ourselves again the process of renewal of intelligence. Let’s see what the word says:
- Ro 12:2 Do not conform to the current age, but be transformed by the renewal of understanding, so that you can discern what the will of God is, which is good, pleasing and perfect.
- Gal 5:16 Therefore I say: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
- Ro 7:21-23 Therefore, I find in me this law: when I want to do good, evil sticks to me. 22 For I delight in the law of God, according to the inward man; 23 But I see another law in my members, which is opposed to the law of my understanding, and which leads me captive to the law of sin, which is in my members.
The body is the last part of our being that most resists the regeneration process.
According to the Bible, regarding the value of your soul, sometimes the body receives instructions that come from outside its be. What the Bible calls meat.
- Gal 5:17:
- For the flesh desires against those of the Spirit, and the Spirit against those of the flesh; they oppose each other, so you don’t do what you want.
- 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
- 20 idolatry, magic, enmities, quarrels, jealousy, animosities, disputes, divisions, sects,
- 21 envy, drunkenness, overeating and the like. I tell you in advance, as I said before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The Holy Spirit dictates to the spirit of man what is the will of God. The spirit of man dictates to the soul what is the will of God and what should be the will of the whole being. The soul has the duty to accept the requests of the enlivened spirit of it, rejecting all the requests of the flesh that come out of the body.
- Ro 7:24 Wretched me! Who will deliver me from the body of this death? …
Having laid the foundation, we can now talk about the value of your soul.
What is the value of your soul – The real price for God
When we say value it alludes to an economic sense. We see a seller and a buyer We see an evaluation of something to know its price of change.
Various factors determine the price of something, quality, durability, efficiency, manufacturing name, demands, appreciation or depreciation. Age, historical importance, beauty, amount of application or service.
Many products are evaluated not based on their intersection values, but against other factors.
Some paintings are evaluated based on the reputation of the artist.
A new baseball can be sold for five dollars. The same baseball can later be sold for $10,000.00 if it has the original hand signature of a famous player. In that case, the value is not evaluated by a real factor, but in association with the value of someone of importance.
When they auctioned off Elvis’s stuff
- toilet seats
- Old Shoes
- old socks
- ancient costumes
- Old cars
- Sells at amazing prices.
Some other things are valued not against their true value, but against what buyers are willing to pay to acquire it. When it comes to the soul of man, no one knows the value of it except the Creator of it.
- Matt 16:26 And what will man profit if he wins everyone, if he loses his soul? Or, what would a man give for his soul? (LSV)
Not all the souls of man are equal in the same way that not all oysters are created equal. An oyster that contains a beautiful pearl inside is more valuable than the fattest oyster without a pearl. The regenerated soul is the most valuable of all souls..
Your soul is a permanent ticket to existence given to humanity by the Creator. Your soul will live forever somewhere. Due to the sins of our ancestors, all our souls are destined for hell.
If someone handed you a permanent fine to spend your life in jail, how much would that fine be worth? If someone gives you a standing ticket to go on any all-expenses round-the-world cruise, how much would that ticket be worth to you?
The value of the regenerated soul is based on the value of the blood of Jesus Christ.
Now, let’s look at some more verses that reflect the value of your regenerated soul:
- Acts 20:28 Therefore, take heed to yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, that they may feed the church of the Lord, which he bought with his own blood.
- Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by blood of Christ.
- Col 1:20 through him he wanted to reconcile everything with himself, both what is on earth and what is in heaven, making peace through him with the blood of his cross.
- Heb 9: 13-14 For if the blood of bulls and goats and cow’s ashes is spilled on the unclean, it sanctifies and purifies the flesh, 14 how much more blood of Christwhich, by an eternal spirit, offered without stainto God, he will cleanse your conscience of dead works, so that you may serve the living God.
- Heb 13:20 The God of peace, who raised from the dead the great shepherd of sheep, by the blood of an everlasting pactMay our Lord Jesus 21 give you power to do every good work for the fulfillment of his will, and do in you what pleases him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen!
- 23 knowing that it was not for perishable things, neither for silver nor for gold, that you were redeemed from the vain way of life that you inherited from your parents, 19 but by the precious blood of Christ,as of a lamb without blemish and without blemish, 23 since you were regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but by incorruptible seed, by the living and permanent word of God.
Since any current currency we use cannot be valued against the regenerated soul, we are in deficit no matter what value we exchange with our soul.
Because of the precious blood of Jesus that came out with the acquisition of the believer’s soul, his soul cannot be properly evaluated because the blood of God is more valuable than all of creation.
The value of your soul in Revelation
The Bible mentions that there is traffic of souls in the lowlands of the sea, terms that we Haitians take literally. Revelation 18 speaks of the judgment of the great harlot who traded with the great ones of the earth.
- 18:9-13 And all the kings of the earth who have indulged in fornication and luxury with her will weep and mourn for her when they see the smoke from her firewood.
- 10 In the distance, fearing his torment, they will say: Alas! misfortune! The great city, Babylon, the mighty city! In just one hour your judgment arrived!
- 11 And the merchants of the earth cry and lament over her, because no one buys anymore his cargo,
- 12 Cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all kinds of soft wood, all kinds of ivory, all kinds of very precious wood, brass, iron, and marble,
- 13 of cinnamon, spices, perfumes, myrrh, incense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, oxen, sheep, horses, carts, bodies and souls of men.
Soul trafficking exists today as mentioned in the Bible. Even the unregenerate soul is of great value due to the complexity of its creation, its intelligence, and its potentialities.

We have so many people who were once great servants of the devil who speak to us about the reality of these facts. The regenerated soul is not sold, it is the property of God.
