KJV Word TypeAdjective
DefinitionThe condition of those who are separated from God — not merely morally flawed but spiritually ruined and in need of rescue. Christ came specifically to seek and save the lost. The three parables of Luke 15 (lost sheep, lost coin, lost son) are His masterful portrait of the lostness of humanity and the joy of God at the finding of one who returns.
Key Verses"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10)
