the lost?

Do you divide the world between the saved and the lost? This is an important distinction to make, and ultimately the one that matters, but it is my distinction to make, not yours. Do not say, even in your heart, who shall ascend into heaven, and who shall descend into hell. How then shall you relate to other people? Everyone you meet is created in my image, believer and unbeliever alike. You share essential humanity even with those who do not share your faith and belief and doctrine. Do you want them to come to a saving knowledge of the truth? So do I. This is most likely to happen if you can receive them as fellow creatures made in my image.
