Profit and Loss.

 
The World's Question.
"What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto Him?" Job 21:15.
God's Answer.
"Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." 1 Tim. 4:8.
But "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36.
"Jesus our Lord... was
delivered for our offenses,
and was raised again for
our justification.”
Rom. 4:24, 25.
