What does the Bible say about being lost?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible teaches that being lost refers to a state of separation from God due to sin, and Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10).

Being lost in a biblical sense means being spiritually separated from God because of sin. It describes the condition of humanity after the fall, as sin entered the world and led to death (Romans 5:12). In this state, individuals are unable to find their way back to God or save themselves. However, the good news is that Jesus Christ, referred to as the Son of Man, came specifically to seek and to save those who are lost (Luke 19:10). This highlights His commitment to rescue those whom the Father has given Him, ensuring that none will be lost (John 17:12). Through His life, death, and resurrection, He provides the means of salvation and reconciliation for His sheep.
