The article explores the paradox that spiritual and worldly gain come through loss. It cites Christ’s teaching on losing one’s life to save it, notes blessings from sacrifice, and urges faithful living as evidence of Christian character. Sermon-like sections from Rev. Gowen and Erskine frame how loss can deepen faith and knowledge of God.
