What Have We Really Lost?: Introduction
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10KJV
This small booklet will by no means expound upon all that mankind has lost because of sin. But we pray that it can be used to stir a desire within your heart to have a passionate hunger for communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ.
We live in a world that has become very man-centered. This spirit of the age has boldly walked into the church leaving behind a trail of humanism and deception. But in the midst of this evil conspiracy, there is a call from heaven, a gathering unto the Person of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is looking for a bride for the Son of God. Grace is abounding to bring a people into a fresh intimate relationship with a Person, Jesus Christ.
As you read each chapter, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. Allow Him to reveal to you what has really been lost in your walk with God. Do you really have a desire to be the radiant bride of Jesus Christ? Are you really walking in the Spirit in your daily life? Have you lost the joy of the blessed hope? These and other questions will comfort you, but not without hope.
Allow grace to stir within your heart. Allow the Holy Spirit to stir boldness and courage that you might say with Paul, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:13, 14)
Jesus Christ has come to restore that which has really been lost, the communion and fellowship that God desires and deserves. God is looking for people who will give Him a place of honor in their hearts and will allow His Son to live in and through them. Allow Him the place of which He alone is worthy.
