*?Topic: Why Are Some Lost??*
*?Bible Reading: "Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake."~(2 Corinthians 4:4-5, NKJV)*

*✍?The Apostle Paul describes the Gospel as the power of God that brings salvation to anyone who believes it (Romans 1:16). Our Lord's simple prescription for salvation is "repent and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). Believing the gospel is therefore very critical for accessing the grace that brings salvation in Christ. This makes preaching the gospel a sacred responsibility that demands the utmost attention of every believer. Paul explains the primary role of preaching in the salvation of souls in his letter to the Corinthians, saying, "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe" (1 Corinthians 1:21, KJV). Preaching is God's fundamental means of communicating the gospel in order to get people saved from sin and eternal damnation. Unless people hear the gospel understandably and believe in it, they would not be saved. This therefore explains the fury with which Satan fights the preaching of the gospel. In a situations where it is clear to Satan that he could not stop the gospel entirely, he does every imaginable thing to either distort it or blur its message by making it incomprehensible to people. The satanic ploy of veiling the gospel from people is the reason they are lost. Without the gospel one lacks the map to fine one's way back home to God to whom we all belong. Ignorance of the gospel and absence of faith in Christ which it inspires, constitute the main reasons people are lost. People are therefore said to be lost when "the god of this world," which is Satan, casts a veil of ignorance over their mind, to prevent "the light of the glorious gospel of Christ" from illuminating their minds leading to faith in Christ.*
*??Memory verse: "For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was please through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe" (1 Corinthians 1:21)?*
