The damnation of one soul

(John Angell James, "Queries for Self Examination")

"For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole
 world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man
 give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)

One soul is of more value than the whole world!

The salvation of one soul is a greater blessing than
the temporal deliverance of an empire!

The damnation of one soul is a greater calamity
than the misery of a kingdom for a thousand ages!

"He will also drink the wine of God's wrath, which is
 mixed full strength in the cup of His anger. He will
 be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the
 holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, and the
 smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever."
     Revelation 14:10-11
