Lost
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30-31).
You and I can never be saved until we have first discovered that we are lost. The question is, has this solemn truth been brought home to your soul by the awakening power of the Holy Spirit? The terrified jailer of Philippi felt his lost condition under the mighty power of God: hence his alarm and fervent question, “What must I do to be saved?” Unbelieving reader, do you question that you are a lost sinner? Then let me remind you that Christ came to seek and to save none but the lost. God says you are lost, and His dear Son would never have left the glories of heaven to come and seek you had you not been lost. Without His wondrous grace and immeasurable love, we would all be lost forever.
See to it, then, that you do not fail to seek your true place before God now as a lost, guilty, and ruined sinner. It is God’s will for you to see and know that in His infinite love He has provided a present, perfect, and eternal salvation for you through the work of His own Son at Calvary.
