Spurgeon argues that no amount of worldly success—whether wealth, power, or fame—is worth anything if a person loses their soul and goes to hell when they die. He points out that even great historical figures like Alexander the Great and King Solomon, who had everything the world could offer, found it all empty and meaningless, and these things definitely won't help anyone on their deathbed or at God's judgment. The sermon warns people not to sacrifice their eternal souls for temporary earthly gains, no matter how small, and urges them to believe in Jesus Christ to save their souls before it's too late.
A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on July 6th, 1856.
