How do we know that Jesus actively finds the lost?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus actively finds the lost through His teachings and actions that demonstrate His initiative in our salvation.

The testimony of Scripture confirms that Jesus actively finds the lost. In John 10:27, Jesus states, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' This indicates that the relationship between Jesus and His followers is initiated by His call and recognition of them. The parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7) illustrates that He leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep, highlighting His relentless pursuit. Additionally, the testimony shared in personal conversion stories echoes this biblical teaching, affirming that it is not our efforts that lead us to salvation, but rather Jesus’ initiative to seek us out in our sin.
