How do we know God finds His people in their lost state?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God seeks out the lost, exemplified by various biblical figures such as Adam and Abraham, confirming His initiative in salvation.

The concept of God finding His people in their lost state is biblically grounded in the account of figures like Adam and Abraham. In Genesis, God sought Adam in the garden after his fall, illustrating that humanity does not seek God; rather, He seeks us amidst our lost condition. This pattern continues in the calling of Abraham, where God intervened in the idolatrous life of Abraham's family to initiate a covenant relationship. As seen throughout scripture, from the early pages to the prophetic calls, God's grace is paramount in finding and restoring His people, underscoring that salvation is solely an act of divine grace rather than human endeavor.
