And how is he lost?'

Back to Man's religion & God's religion 3

"O visit me with Your salvation." Psalm 106:4

Salvation only suits the condemned—the lost. 
A man must be lost—utterly lost—before he 
can prize God's salvation. 

And how is he lost?  By . . .
losing all his religion,
losing all his righteousness,
losing all his strength,
losing all his confidence,
losing all his hopes,
losing all that is of the flesh;
losing it by its being taken from him, 
and stripped away by the hand of God.
