Without salvation, we are also lost. We lack any direction and purpose in life; there is a giant void that we cannot fill independently. The Word of God says that like sheep we have all gone astray (Isaiah 53:6). We desperately need a Shepherd who will guide and protect us.
To understand our need for salvation, we must first understand our standing before God. The Apostle Paul writes in Romans that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and that there is no one righteous (Romans 3:10). We are all sinners who are deserving of God’s wrath and judgment. If nothing changes about our spiritual condition, we will perish for all of eternity in a place called hell (Matthew 14:32; Revelation 21:8).
