What does it mean that Jesus came to seek and save the lost?

Answered in 3 sources

This means that Christ's mission was to rescue sinners from their sin and eternal separation from God through His redemptive work.

The declaration that Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10) encapsulates the essence of His earthly ministry. It emphasizes His role as the great Redeemer who actively pursues those who are estranged from God due to sin. This seeking is fulfilled in His life, death, and resurrection, where He provided a pathway to reconciliation. According to historic Reformed theology, it underlines the doctrine of irresistible grace, whereby God draws His elect to Himself, ensuring their salvation through the work of Christ. This mission highlights God's love and mercy, offering hope to those who believe in Him.
