Weigh for Time and for Eternity

"Put into one scale Jesus, which means
*eternal treasure,
*life,
*truth,
*heaven,
*and the joy of Christ in souls redeemed;

--put into the other every attraction the world can offer.

-Into one scale put the loss of your own soul, and the souls of those whom you might have been instrumental in saving;
-into the other, for yourself and for them, a life that measures with the life of God.

Weigh for time and for eternity.

While you are thus engaged, Christ speaks: "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36."
