“I helped save a life by donating to Surf Life Saving,” is the message on the sticker.

What is life?

We are born and we die and the time in between is our life.

“SURF LIFE SAVING”

We are very familiar with our body, the physical part of man, the part that dies.

What happened after the Fall? Our body became a dying body.

But how familiar are we with the two nonphysical parts of a person?

The spirit lives on after death. The soul also survives death.

Man has three parts. The Bible teaches that very clearly. First Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 and Luke 1:46,47.

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – First Thessalonians 5:13

Why did the Lord Jesus Christ die on the cross? The answer is that he died to redeem our soul.

And there are several reasons for being a soul winner. The fact of hell is enough reason for being a soul winner. Do we really believe that souls are headed for a lost eternity of hell fire?

If we really believed that, would we not do more to persuade people to turn from sin to the Lord Jesus Christ?

I think we would.

Yesterday I talked to two people on a street corner here in our town about my faith. I had two attentive listeners.

Another is the worth of a soul. More than all the world is the worth of one soul.

I cannot say, “I helped save a life by donating to Surf Life Saving,” but I can say, “I helped save a soul by donating to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
