What profit is there to YOU, even if you get money—pleasure—position or power— and in a few short years (at longest) you lose your soul?
If you cannot remain in your present business and be a Christian, you had better give it up.
FOR what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:36-37.
BUT seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33.
LAY not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
Matthew 6:19-20.
HE that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver.
Ecclesiastes 5:10.
HE that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
Proverbs 11:28.
THEN said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
FOR whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:24-25.
AND Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Mark 10:29-30.
