Are You Still Lost?

If you've ever been in a big city and lost your way, it is a humbling thing to admit to your wife that you're lost and have to stop and ask for directions. Life is a big place, and us sinners have lost our way in our sin and pride, it is a very humbling thing to stop and ask our Creator for directions and help.

Lost means to be left in a place unknown or forgotten; to be ruined, defiled, wasted or squandered; to be employed to no good purpose; to be confused and bewildered; wandering in the maze of sin; not able to find the right way or the place intended; to be alienated, insensible, hardened beyond recovery; to have gone astray and missed the way, preoccupied; to be shipwrecked, foundered, and sunk. Jesus is come to seek and save that which was Lost. If you're lost, you are without Christ, an alien and stranger from God's promises, and an enemy of God. Don't keep messing around and lose your own soul. I earnestly recommend to you Jesus Christ. Sin makes you feel all alone. You're not going to make it to heaven without Jesus Christ.

There's a God, and He's so good to His enemies. Your Maker is still kindly inviting you to the Cross where He bled and died especially for your sins and rose again from the dead. The very most degrading sins you've ever committed in secret - Jesus bore those sins in His own body on the Cross. God died for your worst sins. Jesus became Sin for you. Jesus became the worst thing you've ever done. You are so lost without Christ. You have no one, and you are doing NOTHING without Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Your soul is desperately lost in Sin. If you lose your keys, those keys are unable to do what they were made to do until they are found again. Likewise your soul is lost in Sin, and as long as you refuse to repent of loving sin and trust only in Christ's Righteousness, your precious soul will remain lost, and you will never do what your Maker made you for. You are a COMPLETE failure every day you remain lost in your sins refusing Christ's blood.

You don't just do bad things, you are BAD, you are evil, bent, corrupt, perverted, proud, and selfish. Your sins don't just come out of nowhere, your vile thoughts and dirty ways come from own your own stinking sinfulness. God died for your worst sins. Christ Jesus, the LORD of Hosts, is the only Person that save you from the force of evil and the power of sin that is reigning down deep inside you. There's a God, and He’s so Good - His name is JESUS CHRIST.
