How do we know God finds His lost ones?

In Luke 19:10, Jesus explicitly states, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' This passage reveals Christ's active role in finding sinners, showing that salvation is initiated by God rather than man. Furthermore, the parable of the lost sheep illustrates the tender heart of the shepherd who goes after the one lost sheep, emphasizing that every individual is significant to God. The assurance that God seeks His lost ones is foundational in sovereign grace theology, highlighting that salvation is wholly of grace and accomplished by God’s initiative.
