Description:Excerpt from An Important Question Considered: In a Sermon "For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matt. 16c. 26. The Psalmist, when contemplating the peculiar structure of the human frame, exclaimed, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made;" and a careful survey of man as a mortal, yet immortal being, will convince us of the truth and propriety of the remark of the inspired Poet. Man is a complex being, possessing a body and a soul - consisting of matter and spirit. At the commencement of our existence these opposite qualities are combined in a misterious union, and continue united, until death liberates the spirit from the body and dissolves the connection. The body of man, as we all know, is mortal, and after a short existence, must die and return to its native dust. The soul is immortal, and can never die - and after its exit from the body, it must return to God, from whom it emanates, who will determine its eternal destiny. The present life is therefore a scene of trial or probation, limited in its duration. Here our characters are forming for eternity, and our final destinies are involved in our deportment - in the disposition of mind which we cherish, and the objects which we pursue. This truth is asserted by the Apostle Paul, in his Epistle to the Galations, vi. 7, 8; where he remarks, "Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit, reap life everlasting."
