When it comes to the topic of selling your soul, there are more than one Bible verse that mentions it. One of the most popular verses on this topic is from Matthew 16:26, which says, “For what profit is it to a man/woman if he/she gains the whole world, and loses their own soul?
Another popular verse on this topic is from Mark 8:36, which says, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his soul?” This verse also emphasizes the importance of our soul and how we should be careful not to sell it for anything less than what it’s worth.
Basically, the Bible is clear that our soul is of great value and we should be careful not to sell it for anything less than what it’s worth. So, if you’re ever considering selling your soul, make sure you think long and hard about it first, because it’s a decision you could regret for eternity.

If this sounds farfetched, just watch the daily news any day of the week and you will hear words coming out of the mouths of people you once looked up to as being very respected and having some of the sharpest minds, saying unbelievable things with a straight face.
When someone talks about selling their soul, they are usually talking about making a deal with the Devil; giving up their immortal soul for something they want, like wealth, power, or knowledge. Sometimes people sell their soul without realizing it, like when they make a “knee jerk” decision.
Other times, people do it knowingly, thinking that the benefits will outweigh the costs. In the end, selling your soul is always a bad idea. It may give you short term gratification, but it will ultimately lead to your own damnation, says the Bible.
