It's the Engrafted Word that Saves Your Soul

The soul is the mind, the will, and the emotions. When one comes to Jesus and asked to be saved often what they mean is that they want God to wipe out their sins so they can go to heaven instead of hell.
But God’s plan is to wash away their sins, make them ‘born again’ of His Spirit, give them a new heart, and through the engrafted word renew their mind, save their soul, and change them into a new creation--a born-again child of the living God.
Deut: 30:6: And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Jas: 1:21-25: Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23: For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25: But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Here are some more good scriptures talking about the soul and how to stay out of trouble.

Deut: 11:13: And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
