There are many bible verses for Lost souls recorded in the scriptures, and christ made us understand that he came to seek after the lost ones.
Just as the bible recorded, God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son to come to die for the remission of sins and rescue the lost and perishing souls.
Christ further drew more illustrations of God’s happiness when a sinner repents from his sinful ways and turns a new living using the stories of a lost coin, a lost sheep, and the prodigal son.
