“SAVE HIS SOUL ALIVE.”

By R. F. Cottrell

“WHEN a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.” Eze. 18: 26, 27.

If man has an immortal entity, called the soul, dwelling within him, the expression, “his soul,” in the text doubtless refers to that immortal entity. But how absurd to say of a soul that is destined to live to eternity, that by obedience “he shall save his soul alive”? R. F. COTTRELL.
