What does it mean to be 'lost' according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Being 'lost' means being separated from God, without hope of salvation or the ability to save oneself.

In biblical terms, being 'lost' encapsulates the profound state of separation from God due to sin. Jesus asserts that He came to 'seek and to save that which was lost' (Luke 19:10), highlighting His mission to redeem those who are hopeless and unable to save themselves. This condition of being lost is characterized by spiritual blindness and an inability to grasp divine truths without God's intervention. Until one recognizes their lostness, they cannot appreciate the grace of salvation. The acknowledgment of being lost precipitates a sincere longing for redemption and highlights the necessity of divine grace for restoration.
