How do we know salvation is truly for the lost?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is for the lost as demonstrated by Jesus' ministry to sinners, exemplified in the story of Zacchaeus.

The narrative of Zacchaeus illustrates the heart of Jesus' mission towards sinners. Despite Zacchaeus being a chief tax collector and morally corrupt, Jesus sought him out and brought him salvation. This underscores the reality that salvation is not based on human merit but on God's sovereign grace, which seeks out the lost and redeems them. As Paul writes in Romans 5:8, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' Thus, the assurance that salvation is for the lost is anchored in the actions and words of Christ who came expressly to transform lives.
