What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in seeking the lost?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God actively seeks and saves the lost as a shepherd searches for his sheep, demonstrating His sovereignty and grace.

In Ezekiel 34:11-16, we find God declaring His intention to seek out His sheep, emphasizing His role as the Shepherd who cares for His flock. The Lord says, 'I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away.' This indicates that God actively pursues His people, illustrating His sovereignty in salvation. Furthermore, in Luke 15:4-6, Jesus illustrates this truth through the parable of the lost sheep, showing that He goes after the lost until He finds them. This pursuit reassures believers of God's sovereign grace and His unfailing commitment to save those whom He has chosen.
