Testing your Knowledge of Scripture What did Jesus say we could lose by gaining the whole world? If you said we could lose our eternal salvation or our souls, you are right. "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26). The love of money and material things has the potential to posess a person's life like no other emotion can. A person can spend a lifetime chasing prosperity that, when found, often destroys him. C. H. Spurgeon said it this way: "It is a very serious thing to grow rich. Of all the temptations to which God's children are exposed, it is the worst, because it is the one they do not dread, therefore, it is the most subtle temptation." Unfortunately, the love of money and possessions is like drinking salt water; the more water we drink, the thirstier we become. Likewise, the more money we have, the more we want.
