[SUP]36 [/SUP]What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

What it means for you personally to gain the whole world now?
How to stop to gain the whole world?

I realized one thing yesterday. Now when I plan ahead, I "plan to purchase the whole world."

God offers another choice. I do not know exactly what. But I know the door there... This time spent with God.

Only God, through His beloved Son Jesus Christ, can save us out of this wicked old world. We cannot do that by ourselves. If He doesn't raise us up from the dead, we're lost with the world.

Eph.2

[1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
[3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
[5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, ( by grace ye are saved; )
[6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
[7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
[10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them
