What does the Bible say about finding god?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God graciously calls sinners to seek him and promises that those who truly seek him will find him, because he has made himself known and provided salvation through Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 29:13 and Deuteronomy 4:29 assure God’s people that wholehearted seeking is not futile, while Matthew 7:7-8 encourages persistent prayer and trust in the Father’s goodness. Acts 17:27 says God is not far from any of us, though we need his mercy to turn from darkness to light. Above all, God seeks the lost in Christ: John 3:16 proclaims his saving love, and Luke 15:24 pictures the joy of the Father who receives those made alive again.
