What's a -Faustian Bargain-, and how is that related to Jesus probing words, -What does it profit a person if he loses his own soul- Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul-' Why is the -Faustian Bargain- a bad one for this life, and an even worse one for the life to come. This is a searching evangelistic message calling all people to not listen to the Devil's whispers of what he will give you in exchange for your soul.
