In Luke 15, Jesus discussed the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son.
Notice:
1. Before the sheep was lost, it was with its owner. vv4 – 7
2. Before the coin was lost, it was with the woman. vv8 – 10
3. Before the son was lost, he was with his father. vv11 – 24
The lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, did not start out lost. So with us sinners: Before we got lost we were initially with God. We were born NOT lost. And to be NOT lost is to be in Christ. Therefore, we were born in Christ, instead of born in sin.
If you still teach that people are born in sin, then you are teaching that people start out lost, and that's against what Christ taught that the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son did not start out lost. Will you teach what Christ taught, and preach what he preached? Your choice…
