Luke 19:10
King James Version
10 For the Son of man is come
to seek and to save that which was lost.
Who are the lost?
What makes them lost?
What does the Bible say?
What dangers do they face?
Let SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE tell us.
Whether Jew, or Gentile, these apply to all of us:
Matthew 13:41-42
King James Version
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather out of his kingdom
all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
John 8:24
King James Version
24 I said therefore unto you,
that ye shall die in your sins:
for if ye believe not that I am he,
ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:44-45
King James Version
44 Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
2 Timothy 3:1-7
King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning,
and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
Revelation 21:27
King James Version
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie:
but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22:14-15
King James Version
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
In SUMMARY, the "lost" are:
all things that offend
them which do iniquity
those who live carelessly, as in before the flood
those who don't believe JESUS is the SON of GOD
murderers, liars
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof
captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth
any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie
dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie
Are you one of the lost?
Do you hear GOD's call now?
What call, you'd probably ask.
Let JESUS tell us:
Matthew 22:37-38
King James Version
37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
John 3:3-7
King James Version
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,
and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
Now that you know all these, would you say you're lost?
Or saved?
Time to make a stand now.
Turn to JESUS now.
That you may share eternal life with Him.
Man has no idea what disbelief and rebellion entail.
Only through JESUS do we have a chance at REAL life.
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
GOD loves us all, and wants all of us saved.
2 Peter 3:9
King James Version
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
The question is, do you want to be saved?
Have you acknowledged your own sinfulness?
Are you aware of your errors?
Do you know what pleases GOD?
Turn to GOD, and repent.
For it's all preparation now.
