Christ Jesus asked an important question during His earthly ministry regarding the Soul. Matthew 16:26 " What does it profit a man if he shall gain the world, and lose his own Soul?, or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul. We find the answer locked up in Psalm 121: 7 & 8" The Lord preserve thee from all evil,The Lord shall preserve thy Soul. Our bodies are perishable and temporal but the unseen component in man, the Soul,Eternal. Christ comes to protect us from all evil. This is why God the Holy Spirit is in our world today but why Christ Jesus came was to redeem and preserve the Soul of man.
