Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [2]
Matthew 10:39 (a) The Lord uses this word to describe the results of a wasted life in which there is no profit to God and no profit to the man for eternity. One may be a wonderful man of business or religion, or a prize-winning athlete, and yet have nothing for God or eternity. That life is said to be one that is lost. (See Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; John 12:25).
John 6:39 (a) We learn from this that the Lord Jesus saves the to hell. He is so powerful and His work is so perfect that the sinner is saved for eternity.
