How do we know God seeks to save the lost?

Answered in 1 source

God's seeking nature is revealed in scriptures like Genesis and Ezekiel where He actively seeks those who have turned away from Him.

The seeking nature of God is evident from the very beginning of the Bible. In Genesis 3, after Adam and Eve fell into sin, God sought them out, demonstrating His desire to restore what was lost. Similarly, Ezekiel 34:16 illustrates God's commitment to seek out and save the lost, bind up the broken, and bring back those who have strayed. This reflects God's continual pursuit of humanity, emphasizing the divine initiative in reconciliation and salvation. Our lostness is a condition from which we cannot rescue ourselves, highlighting the importance of God's sovereign grace in salvation.
