What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
When all is said and done, all we will have at the end is our souls. So maintaining a clean and pure soul is all we I need. we came in the world with nothing, we will leave with nothing. All the things we have spent time and energy acquiring will not be with us unfortunately when we are gone from the world, we carry nothing, not even our body. It is our soul alone that goes back to the LORD God that breathed life to us. But the body He made out of the soil is left just here.
If the soul is impure and contaminated with all the things that are in the world, God will not receive it back.
What makes our souls impure are the lusts of the fresh, greedy for money, pride, bitterness, malice, hatred immoral thoughts, lies, etc.
So I keep my soul because it is all that matters at the end, everything else is useless when you stop breathing. All other things we have will be taken by people left alive except our souls.
So I keep my soul by having fellowship with the creator of the universe in reading the holy scriptures and practicing good deeds and adopting the good culture that was introduced by the son of God, Jesus Christ.
Vanity of vanities are all the things of the world. For this reason, i will not take bribes to avert justices or steal at my place of work when i have an opportunity to do so without my boss discovering it. Always trying to do what is right and just to everyone.
