    I don't recall the sale of souls being mentioned in the Bible.

    There are references to forfeiting the soul or having the soul destroyed, but not selling it.  Indeed, it is implied that the soul can't be bought: What can anybody give in exchange for the soul?

    Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

    Matthew 10:28 "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

    Neither suggests that there is any way for you to sell your soul

    but the New Testament clearly indicates that any sin (except one) can be forgiven

    and that one is not selling one's soul.

    You can't literally "sell your soul". The devil just wants you to think you can. But you can't.

    To be in heaven, believe in Jesus. That easy

    Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

    .

    The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

    There is no reason for you to think

    that selling the part of you that contains "yourself" is a forgivable action.

    If your soul is so empty, and not full of all the things that YOU could be,

    it is more than likely that God doesn't want your soul any more either.

    Forgiveness won't be there for you.
