For a believer, the soul is the most valuable that can be. Millions of people are convinced that after physical death, the soul goes to other worlds, where it will face trial and spend eternity or in paradise, enjoying the singing of angels, or in hell, surrounded by hordes of demons and demons. For the immortal soul of man in the subtle world, there is a continuous struggle between the forces of Good and Evil, a person is subjected to difficult trials and temptations. Losing a soul is much easier than it seems at first glance.
The soul of man is an invaluable gift from God
To understand why the devil is hunting for the soul of a person, you need to know who he is. Satan was not always like that, he was originally an angel whom God loved very much. This angel's name was Lucifer. Pride wrapped around the devil, he wanted to equal the Creator, and was defeated from heaven. Since then, he has been hunting for the most invaluable creation of the Creator - the immortal soul of man.
In Christianity, Satan is portrayed as a tempter and chief among the fallen angels, who will be defeated at the end of time.
The image of the devil often inspired writers, artists, poets and musicians throughout the history of art. Many people know Goethe's work Faust, where Dr. Faust sold his soul to the devil, and in return received the secret of eternal life, knowledge and power. The tragedy was written in the XVI century, but this topic excites the minds of people in our time.
It is possible to believe or not to believe in God, but it is impossible to deny that within each day a struggle between the light and the dark begin is impossible. Each time we are faced with a choice, sometimes doubts about the correctness of the decision torment our hearts. What are we ready to do and what to sacrifice to achieve our goal? Everyone finds the answer to this question himself.
If God is absolute freedom, then the devil is absolute slavery.
Dmitry Sergeevich Merezhkovsky
The soul is a priceless gift that was given to us by a loving Creator, and which makes people created in the image and likeness of God. Of course, the main enemy of God will by all means try to take away from us what we have been gifted from above.
