All men are lost. Lost is separated from God because of sin. You may be a prostitute, you can be a member of the Rotary Club, you can be a Catholic, a Baptist, a Pentecostal, a Methodist, a Muslim, a President, a Senator, a Sunday school teacher, a school teacher, a bank president, a business mogul, a poor person and so on and so forth. Lost is lost, with no respect to the person's lot in life. We are all born in sin, we all need a Savior, we all need Christ! You can not be saved by being good, doing the right thing, or attending Church. You must be born again! You must come before Christ with a humble heart, asking for mercy, asking for His cleansing blood to wash you free from sin. You must have the knowledge that Christ alone will save you from hell! That knowledge comes from God's written Word, the bible. The bible is breathed out by God! The words will cut you to your core, showing you sinful man and the wickedness he does. And in contrast, the bible will intimately show you Christ in all His magnificence!
Luke 19:10
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
John 3:17
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
1 Tim.1:15
15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
You must make a choice, to seek God or chase the things of the world! Sin can be satisfying for awhile, during the party time, amidst all the rivalry, but then comes the alone time. You begin to question, is this all there is? You begin to feel all alone. You feel the need to party more often so you will not be alone. You are alive this very moment because God has a plan for you, an unique plan only for you. Don't you want to know what God has planned for you? Don't waste your life on things that will burn away. Trust in Christ, for He alone saves the lost!
Lord, we tell of Your goodness. We praise You for who You are. Your word says, we have not because we ask not. Lord, I am asking for the lost souls that You have promised. I am asking that as we teach, You bring in the harvest. Change lives so that they may change lives, in Your name! Amen
