What does the Bible say about the worth of the soul?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the soul is of immense worth, emphasizing its eternal significance over earthly concerns.

Scripture reveals that human souls are invaluable, created in God's image, and destined for eternity. Jesus teaches in Matthew 16:26 that gaining the whole world is futile if one loses their own soul, implying that earthly possessions pale in comparison to the eternal life of the soul. The worth of the soul is further underscored in Luke 12:20, where God calls a wealthy man a fool for neglecting the state of his soul, highlighting that eternal realities outweigh temporal gains.
