Gain the whole world - a Christian perspective
There are many people who just want to accumulate power. They want to gain the whole world and will stop at nothing to reach their goal. Jesus however says that anyone who follows him must give it all up and humble themselves. You can gain the whole world, but what good is it if you lose your soul?
