Why does God pursue the lost sheep?

Answered in 1 source

God pursues the lost sheep because of His love and desire to save them.

God's pursuit of the lost sheep illustrates His deep love and commitment to His elect. As depicted in Matthew 18 and Luke 15, this parable reveals that God actively seeks out those who have gone astray, highlighting His initiative in salvation. Christ's statement that He came to seek and save the lost underscores His mission, driven by compassion and grace. The shepherd's joy in recovering the lost sheep signifies the immense value God places on each of His chosen ones. It emphasizes that salvation is not a passive act but rather an active pursuit, demonstrating the depths of God's love and His unwillingness to lose even one of His own. This truth reassures believers of God's unwavering commitment to their salvation and well-being.
