W.T. Conner wrote,"The gospel of Christ is the gospel of a seeking God. He seeks worshipers (John 4:23). The Son of man came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). The seeking of the Son of man is a revelation of the heart of God. Drawing men to Christ is the work of God."
God seeks us, because we do not seek God. No one does."There is none that seeks after God"(Romans 3:11). Jesus was sent by God the Father to seek and save that which was lost. The Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ, seeks the lost sheep. The sheep have no sense of direction. The Shepherd must seek them and find them.
Only after we become believers do we seek God (Hebrews 11:6). The lost do not seek God. Believers seek God and follow the Shepherd's voice (John 10:4). That is to say, we seek the One who first sought us.
God seeks us and draws us to Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. Christ is revealed to us through the gospel. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance (1 Thessalonians 1:5). The gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe (Romans 1:16).
