If believers were lost, God would lose more than they, for the glory of His name would be tarnished. If I am a sheep and I am lost, I am a great loser certainly; but then I am not my own, but belong to the great Shepherd, and He has lost me, and so is a loser, too. If I am a member of Christ’s body, and am lost, my Head is a loser, too; for then His body is incomplete. The church is “the fullness of Him that fills all in all”; and the Lord Jesus were not a perfect Christ if He lost the lowliest member of His body.
— Charles H. Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
