“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Isaiah 53:6

People born into this world, no matter their race, color, standing, position, etc. are lost and likened unto sheep that have gone astray. People do as they please, being full of self, and going their own way. God does not approve. People must repent and realize they are dreadful and lost sinners before the Lord. David even declares, (“Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Ps.51:5) David: the great man of God, a man after God’s own heart, even knew he was a sinner! Born in sin. Lost and undone. Without God, Christ Jesus.

 All of mankind lost and sinful creatures, without hope in this world. (“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5:8) This is the point one must come to know in their heart. They are sinners, headed for God’s righteous judgement of hell fire.

 You cannot save yourself. Your position and standing is lost, undone, without any hope, a sinner. (“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Rom. 5:6) No matter your physical being, or might, your power you may possess, or even all the religion and righteous acts you perform. One is an ungodly, lost, and poor sinner without any way of redeeming one’s own self.

 You are considered, my friend, an enemy of God. (“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Rom. 5:10) Do not stay in opposition, or obstinance, repent, tell the Lord you are a dreadful lost sinner.

 People born into this world are dead people and are under their ruler of this world. Even though they live as if there is no tomorrow and full of self. (“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” Eph. 2:1-2) The devil is the lost sinners father. (“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.” John 8:44)

 One’s position is quite already determined from conception. (“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:18) Also in (Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”) Adam the first man, disobeyed God. Thus, man died spiritually: are born into this world dead in sin, with no hope.

 One must repent (change mind) realize, acknowledge, and tell God they are a lost sinner. (“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Rom. 3:23) Thus you are under God’s wrath in this world. (“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36)

 The wonderful, marvelous, and good news!!: (“…the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”) (“…God commendeth his love toward us…”) (“…Christ died for us.”) (“…Christ died for the ungodly.”) (“…we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”) (“And you hath he quickened,…”) (“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:”)

 (“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom. 6:23)

 Christ Jesus declares: (“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47)

 (“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”) Hallelujah! Glory! Amen! Thank you, Dear Lord. My friend, be saved today. Call upon the Lord, now. Today is the day of salvation!
