The most important thing is getting a relationship with God. You will understand what are the dos and the don'ts in getting and maintaining a relationship with your Heavenly Father. In, "What's The Price For Your Soul," Olive G. Cameron strips away the confusion and gives biblical clarity on helping you to draw closer to the One that created you. The One who loves you enough, to do whatever it takes to help you with all of the horrific, horrendous and tragic situations that you may have gone through in life. You will learn why you may be in that particular situation that you're in and how God expect you to react, how to respond and what you can do to get out of it. You will also learn what is your part in all of this and how to counter act when the devil throws obstacles your way. Olive lays out the principles for dealing with-and avoiding-the problems and pit falls we may face in our everyday life.

Chapter One
ARE YOU SAVED?
The first thing we need to look at is, are you saved; and how do you know that you are? I know that this is a very touchy subject for a lot of people because you're already saying with an attitude, "Yes. I'm saved and I've been saved for years." But what you do not realize is, not because you go to church every Sunday means you're saved.
Jesus stated in Matthew 7:22-23:
Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and drive out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name. And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].
Officiously those people were churchgoers, but yet they went to hell. Remember Samuel the prophet whose words never fell to the ground; after his mother had given him back to the Lord how he ministered before Eli, but he knew not the Lord?
In 1Samuel 3: 1-7 states:
Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. The word of the Lord was rare and precious in those days; there was no frequent or widely spread vision. At that time Eli, whose eyesight had dimmed so that he could not see, was laying down in his own place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out of the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laying down. When the Lord called, Samuel! And he answered here I am. He ran to Eli and said; here I am, for you call me. Eli said, I did not call you; lie down again. So he went and lay down. And the Lord Called Again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, here am I; you did call me. Eli answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord was not yet revealed to him.
Although Samuel was working and ministering to the Lord he did not know Him. The same can happen to us; we can be working in the ministry and do not know the Lord. We get so busy in serving and ministering for the Lord that we forget to spend time in getting to know Him, and we neglect spending personal time with Him, and in so doing we send our own selves to hell.
Now put aside your pride just this once and lets go through your life and make sure you would not be the one to whom Jesus would say, "depart from Me I know you not." This is important because I have seen too many people who claim to love God, spoke in tongues, yet they ended up in hell. If I ask anyone if they love God they would not say no, but yes. Do you know that the devil speak in tongues too? there are many people who speak in tongues that the enemy has placed them inside the church as a religious spirit. They can do the exact same things as Christians can do, they might even do it better. They are not easily detected. they're like twins. They look like Christians. They sound like Christians. They speak and know the word (in most cases) better than Christians. They can be very articulate. They sing and praise God as Christians do. They speak also in a different language like Christians do, (which we as Christians call speaking in tongues). they can also even be preaching the word.
It is hard to differentiate the real Christian from the religious Christian spirit. Not because you go through the motions of what is considered Christianity means that you are saved. The devil cannot and never ever will be saved and he will manipulate those into thinking that they are saved.
In Matthew 13:24-30 states:
Another parable He set forth before them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also. And the servants of the owner came to him and said, sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it? He replied to them, an enemy has done this. The servants said to him, then do you want us to go and weed them out? But he said, no, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it. Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.
So you see, it is very difficult to tell the real Christian (a believer and lover of God) from the religious Christian (the ones pretending to be and those that satan has planted). We have to let them alone until Jesus comes and He will separate. It might not be until then that you realize you might be one of them, and by that time it will be too late. How do I know that they are in hell, you ask? Well, that's because they were too mean and nasty, and meanness can never enter heaven.
I knew of a woman that went to church all the time. Everyone called her "Mother." Not only was she elderly but she was also a minister supporting the people and someone you can talk to when you're down. She gave advice and wisdom. I was once told that she spoke with the tongue of an angel. (that's speaking in a different language beautifully). It seemed that she had it all together. One day...
