Many social media platforms have adopted social agendas designed to attack Christianity. A recent Facebook ad showed a transvestite saying, “It’s okay to be lost.” Their message is that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, lesbianism, transvestitism, and similar sins.
If “it’s okay to be lost,” then it is okay to sin. That means no behavior is wrong. Hatred, envy, murder, adultery, theft—these sins are nothing more than personal lifestyle decisions. It is like the choice between vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream, just another personal preference—if “it’s okay to be lost.”
If “it’s okay to be lost,” then there is no need for the Bible. The Bible is a book that instructs people in what is right and what is wrong, but Facebook proclaims that there is no need for that. Why should God write a book instructing humanity how to behave if there is no wrong behavior—if “it’s okay to be lost”?
If “it’s okay to be lost,” then the death of Jesus was completely unnecessary, and Christianity is just a sad story about injustice to an innocent man. Jesus said, however, that He came to save the lost from sin (Luke 19:10). Did Jesus’ death on the cross mean anything? According to Facebook’s ad, it has no relevance today since “it’s okay to be lost.”
The Bible teaches that It is NOT “okay to be lost.” There is such a thing as right and wrong. God, in the Bible, has mercifully informed us what the standard is for human behavior, and Jesus has died to save mankind from their sins. His death was absolutely necessary because it is NOT “okay to be lost.”
