Does the Bible mention “lost souls?” If so, what does it say about them? Seeking God? The old hymn, “Amazing Grace” mentions that we were all once lost but now we’re found. Sometimes we get this reversed by saying, “I found God,” but my question is, “Was God missing?” No, none of us really seek after God.

The Riches in Christ The truest riches in all the universe are not found in material things, which are temporary, but in those things found in Jesus Christ.
