What does the Bible say about seeking the lost?

In Luke 19:10, Jesus states, 'For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.' This verse encapsulates the mission of Christ, emphasizing His purpose to reach out to those who are spiritually lost due to sin. The parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15:4-7 further illustrates God's unyielding pursuit of His people, demonstrating that He personally seeks out and rejoices when even one sinner is found. This portrays the tender nature of God's grace and the lengths He will go to ensure none of His chosen will be lost.
