What does the Bible say about God seeking us?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God is the primary seeker, demonstrating His initiative in salvation.

Throughout Scripture, it is emphasized that God is the one who seeks after His people. For instance, in Luke 19:10, it states, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' This underscores the idea that salvation begins with God's love and pursuit rather than our seeking or choosing Him. Isaiah 65:1 articulates this further, as God says, 'I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not.' Here, God declares that it is He who finds those who are lost, asserting His sovereignty in salvation. This aligns with the Reformed understanding that God’s grace is unmerited and initiated by Him alone, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5 where it is stated that we are chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
