Lost Mankind
The term "lost mankind" in the Bible generally refers to the human condition characterized by sin, separation from God, and spiritual death. This concept is rooted in the narrative of the Fall in Genesis 3, where Adam and Eve's disobedience leads to the introduction of sin into the world, resulting in humanity's estrangement from God (Romans 5:12). The idea of being "lost" conveys a state of moral and spiritual disorientation, illustrating the need for redemption and reconciliation with God.Scripturally, this state of being lost is contrasted with the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. In Luke 19:10, Jesus states, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost," highlighting His mission to restore those who are spiritually lost back to a relationship with God. Additionally, passages such as John 3:16 emphasize God's love for the world and His desire for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Thus, "lost mankind" encapsulates the universal need for salvation and the hope found in Christ’s redemptive work.
