How do we know that God seeks us when we are lost?
Answered in 1 source
The assurance that God seeks us is rooted in His nature as the Good Shepherd who cares for His sheep.
The Bible reassures us of God's active pursuit of His people, particularly through the imagery of the Good Shepherd found in John 10:11. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, states, 'The Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.' This sacrificial love underscores the commitment of God to seek and save those who have wandered away. Additionally, in Isaiah 53:6, it declares, 'All we like sheep have gone astray,' highlighting the universal condition of humanity's waywardness. God’s seeking nature is seen in His promises to find His lost sheep and bring them back into the fold, assuring us that we are never beyond His reach, no matter how far we stray.
