Q&A What does it really mean to lose one's soul as Jesus said in Mark 8:36-37?

Mark 8:36-37 says
" [36] What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

A Man's soul is that part of him that creates his identity. It's that part of himself that helps him identify himself, know his true self and portray himself for public cognisance and eventually after life is done, your Soul is what you will be remembered with.

When I talk about Pharoah or let me say Ramsey (one of the famous Egyptian Kings), what comes to your mind about him is the outcome of the Soul he left behind after his life was done, when I mention Henry Ford; what comes to your mind is the outcome of the Soul he left behind after his life is done.
When I talk about Dr Nelson Mandela or Dr Myles Munroe, what comes to fore in your mind is the outcome of the Soul they left behind after life is done here on earth.
This simply means that a Man's Soul outlives him. The 4 great individuals I mentioned above are not alive today but their soul lives on. The Soul reminds the world of whom you were while you lived in the world. Your Soul will be what generations unborn today will read about you and hear about you thousands of years afterwards, when you're long done with the short life we live on earth.

Jesus says that a Man's soul can be lost. You can gain the whole world but lose your soul.
A lot of folks may not really understand what a loss of one's soul really means.
Losing one's own true soul is worse than death itself. Dying and leaving nothing good behind for the world and generations unborn to read about you or learn about you or learn from you is a typical example of experiencing the loss of one's soul.

This is much more important than making so much money.
It's necessary to ask yourself
if your Soul still intact or if you're you losing your soul?

(1.) Not knowing whom you truly are: The loss of one's soul begins with the lack of knowledge.
Your true identity here goes beyond your social identify or filial identity. Knowing whom you are is all about knowing your divine identity.

(2.) Being unable to be your true self around others: If you find it quite hard to really be yourself around others; you're most likely not having your soul in your own hands. Those who have their soul in their own palms are never afraid of being their true selves around others.

(3.) Having riches but not having wealth: wealth and riches are not the same thing. Having a lot of riches yet lacking the priceless things that truly add value to the riches you have means that one has experienced a loss of one's soul.

(4.) Always choosing money over God: If at all times you choose or prefer money instead of God. You're most likely lost your soul.
Having money (a whole lot of money even) won't make you rich. True riches come from having a valuable and meaningful life that is an indicator of a hale, healthy and hearty soul.

(6.) Pleasing others absolutely while displeasing yourself absolutely: You may have lost your soul if you find yourself needing to displease yourself absolutely to please others absolutely.
Remember in the greatest commandment, you're advised to love yourself.
Read Matthew 22:36-40

(7.) Displeasing others absolutely to please yourself absolutely: while displeasing yourself absolutely to please others smacks of a lost soul, living a life that displeases others absolutely just to please your own self absolutely is not a better option.
While the greatest commandment advises you to please yourself absolutely, it also says that you should please others absolutely too.
Matthew 22:36-40

(8.) Living only for now and today while completely ignoring yesterday and the future: The past shouldn't be allowed to take up so much of today and the path that today paves into the future must by all means be pved in such a way that it doesn't lead the next generation to hell.
If all think about is NOW, if tomorrow or eternity is not at all in your perspective, you're displaying a tell tale sign of having a lost soul.

(10.) Totally ignoring your creator and the giver of life: It takes being a fool who knows not the value of his or her soul to ignore our maker and creator, God almighty himself.
He knows you more than you know yourself and if you can't seem to find your lost soul, turn to God. Choose God over everything always.
It's cool to please yourself absolutely, it's cool to please others absolutely and it's best to please God absolutely while you do both.
Remain Blessed!
Read Psalm 14:1.
