Is it possible for us to be good yet be lost forever? What sort of goodness will assure us a place in heaven? Be captivated with the allegorical story of Lost-an exceptional doctor who loves helping others, but her self-reliant ways make her unable to see her own spiritual lack, more so her need for Christ. There are millions of successful and well-meaning people out there who are genuinely kind, churchgoing, law-abiding. Many of them hear God's word but do not receive; they go on with life convinced that their souls are saved. What does God's word say about those whose faith rests on their presumed goodness? Does one's goodness always lead to eternal life? What about you? If a sudden event brings you face to face with God, what do you suppose God will say about the life you lived? This book thoughtfully presents the biblical truths about the folly of self-righteousness-why no man can earn salvation by himself through good works and how there can be no true goodness apart from God. Like Lost, we all need to be reconciled with God, in the way that he ordained through the all-sufficient redemptive gospel of Christ.
