Bible Questions Answered:
“...so how do you tell someone they
are lost?...”
Debrina/ Clarksville, Arkansas U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Physically, one Is either alive or
dead, and it is no different for the soul of man. The soul has
spiritual life, or death, (if the soul is lifeless, it does not
ceases to exist, for the soul is eternal), eternal Life is in and
through The Creator, Savior, Jesus Christ. A person either has The
Lord (Life), or doesn't have Him.
John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him (Thomas),
I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man
cometh unto The Father, but by Me.
Born under the judgment of sin, due to
Adam's fall, our soul is by nature, lifeless.
Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
Behold, all souls are mine; as the
soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul
that sinneth, it shall die.
Ephesians 2:1 KJV
"...dead in trespasses and
sins."
Colossians 2:13
NLT
You were dead because of your sins
and because your sinful nature..."
The question than
is, may a lifeless soul live? And the answer is yes!
John 3:1-21 KJV
1 There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art A Teacher come from
God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be
with Him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can
a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of The Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of The Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of The
Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto
him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of
heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even
The Son Of Man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal Life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 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.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than
Light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should
be reproved.
21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to
The Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought
in God.
Spiritually
Lifeless:
Proverbs 21:16
KJV
The man that wandereth out of The
Way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
Matthew 8:22 NLT
But Jesus told him, “Follow Me
now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead.
Luke 15:32 KJV
We had to celebrate this happy day.
For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but
now he is found!’”
John
6:53-58 KJV (Jesus, here
is speaking metaphorically.)
53 Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of The Son Of
Man, and drink His blood, ye have no Life in you.
(Taking Communion,
is a public confession, that you believe in the life, death and
resurrection of The Lord Jesus. Remember that our Lord and Savior,
was "NOT-DEAD," when He spoke these words, so the elements
of Bread and Wine, could "not actually have been," His own
body and blood! They were symbolic representations.)
54 Whoso eateth My Flesh, and
drinketh My Blood, hath eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the
last day.
55 For My Flesh is meat indeed, and
My Blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth My Flesh, and
drinketh My Blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him.
57 As The Living Father hath sent
Me, and I live by The Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall
live by Me.
58 This is that Bread which came
down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he
that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever.
(Jesus, of course
was not a loaf of Bread, but He is as necessary as bread, for
Life-spiritual Life.)
Ephesians 2:1-9
KJV
1 And you hath He quickened*, who
were dead in trespasses and sins;
*
Quickened-Greek: Zoopoieo (Dzo-op-oy-eh-o): Vitalize:
make alive, give life, quicken.
2 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:
3 Among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the
desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children
of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for
His great love wherewith He loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened* us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
*
Quickened-Greek: Suzoopoieo (Sood-zo-op-oy-eh-o): To
reanimate conjointly: quicken together with.
6 And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come He might
shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should
boast.
Ephesians 5:14
KJV
Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee Light.
Colossians 2:13
KJV
And you, being dead in your sins and
the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with
Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
I Timothy 5:6
KJV
But she that liveth in pleasure is
dead while she liveth.
Revelation 3:1
NLT
Write this letter to the angel of
the church in Sardis. This is the message from the one who has The
Sevenfold Spirit Of God and the seven stars: “I know all the things
you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive—but you are
dead.

of Me.

ye might have Life.

27 Labor not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting Life,
which The Son Of Man shall give unto you: for Him hath God The Father
sealed.
33 For The Bread Of God is He which
cometh down from heaven, and giveth Life unto the world.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am
The Bread Of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he
that believeth on Me shall never thirst.
40 And this is the will of Him that
sent Me, that every one which seeth The Son, and believeth on Him,
may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on Me hath everlasting Life.
48 I am that Bread Of Life.
51 I am The Living Bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for
ever: and The Bread that I will give is My Flesh, which I will give
for the Life of the world.
53 Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the Flesh of The Son Of
Man, and drink His Blood, ye have no Life in you.
54 Whoso eateth My Flesh, and
drinketh My Blood, hath eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the
last day.
63 It is The Spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the Words that I speak unto you, they
are Spirit, and they are Life.
68 Then Simon Peter answered Him,
Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal Life.

hast sent.

that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not
remember thy sins
