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.

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.

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.
