What does it mean to lose one's soul according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Losing one's soul refers to the eternal consequences of prioritizing worldly gain over spiritual well-being.

In Matthew 16:26, Jesus poses the question, 'For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?' This profound inquiry illustrates the futility of sacrificing eternal spiritual health for temporary worldly satisfaction. In the context of Reformed theology, it emphasizes the inherent value of the soul, contrasting it with earthly possessions. The eternal destiny of the soul far outweighs any material gain in this life, reinforcing the need for believers to prioritize their relationship with God and the spiritual journey leading to eternal life.
