What is true of lost people for whom Christ died?
For lost people for whom Christ died, their sin debt has already been paid, His blood has been shed on their behalf, and their lives are ready to be ransomed by virtue of His resurrection from the dead. Paul could not get such lost people off his mind.
Les teaches that Paul could never get lost people off his mind; that is all he could think about were lost people. Les explains these lost people are those for whom Christ had already paid their sin debt, for whom the blood of Christ had been shed, and whose lives were ready to be ransomed by virtue of His resurrection from the dead. Paul did not seek his own profit but the profit of many, that they may be saved, showing his burden for the lost.
