Selling Your Soul

This is something that has bothered me for a long time. It’s when I see celebrities on a talk show calmly explaining how they sold their soul to Satan for fame and fortune. They tell it in a way where they seem to be accepting it as an unchangeable fact.

Wrong!

The first thing I see wrong here is that you cannot sell something that doesn’t belong to you. If you write a book; it’s yours. You can keep the rights to the book or you can sell the rights to a publisher. You wrote the book; the idea and contents are yours. No one else can legally do anything with it without your permission.

Who made us? Who gave us our soul? God did. God owns and has rights to our soul. You have no legal ground in God’s court to sell your soul. Satan is lying to these people. He is deceiving you when he says you can sell your soul to him.  He cannot buy your soul. God is not going to sell you out. He let’s you have free choice and you may leave him if you choose to, but he will not sell you out.

The second thing I see here is that these people think this sin is unpardonable. If they “sell” their soul to Satan, it’s a done deal. They cannot get out of it. In the bible it says there is only one unpardonable sin. Some will argue about what that sin is, but most say it’s the sin of unbelief. If you are still rejecting God when you die, that sin is unpardonable. If you “sold” your soul to Satan, it is not the unpardonable sin. You can repent of it and break this contract because it wasn’t ever a binding contract in the first place. Tear that baby to shreds!

Go to God’s court and tell Jesus you want out of this fake contract. Give your life to him, repent of your life style you’ve been living in.

Breaking from Satan may mean you have to give up the fame and fortune you obtained from this despicable deal that Satan misled you into. You may end up poorer in this world’s riches, but richer because you’ll have God’s forgiveness and the promise of eternity in heaven.

There is one more example that I want to give because I think they are similar. There are many examples in the bible of people who were demon possessed. They didn’t sell their soul, but demons entered them and took over. These are both examples of Satan coming into your life and dominating it.

How did Jesus and the disciples deal with the demons that possessed these people? They kicked them to the curb and made them leave!

Kick Satan to the curb! He doesn’t belong in God’s house!

      1. How can a dead man give what he doesn’t have? What can he decide? Surely there must be one outside of that man who must first go to that person and -somehow, miraculously- raise him to life.

    1. Someone dead in sin can turn around, but it usually does take some extraordinary event or something. Saul (who later was named Paul) had a lightning bolt experience from Jesus himself that knocked him to the ground and temporarily blinded him. Not everyone needs something that drastic to be led to Jesus. I don’t know how to reach these people myself. Doing a post about it is the only thing I could think of. Maybe it will help someone who has access to these celebrities and they will be able to help them. It’s frustrating when you can’t think of what to do.

  1. Well said Mary.
    In Mark 3:28,29 Jesus says that the only unpardonable sin is the grieving of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. Grieving of the Holy Spirit is determined denial, willful slandering of the works of the Holy Spirit and attributing to the devil that which is undeniably devine.
    If these celebrities ever had a relationship with their creator, who loves them more than any fan could or the false sense of security any bank account might offer, they would never be so flippant with what they claimed they sold, and to whom they so easily gave up a precious gift to, the prince of lies.
    In God’s eyes His children are already the apple of His eye. That talent they claimed they achieved was a gracious gift, talent of that same loving Father God.
    If they would only give Him the glory for the blessings of all they possess, no “sold”
    sign would ever be required.
    Thank God for second chances, forgiveness and eternal life.
    May they all accept His gracious, free, no strings attached eternal gift, which is freely given by faith in God and a penitent heart .

    1. Hopefully they’ll realize how much he loves them. Sometimes I wish I could reach through the television screen and tell them just how much he cares. Thank you for your comments!
