God Seeks the Lost
Commentators emphasize that this verse showcases God's proactive grace. Paul quotes Isaiah to prove that God takes the initiative in salvation. He reveals Himself to the Gentiles, a people who were not actively seeking Him. This is a powerful reminder that God's love isn't merely a response to our searching, but is often the cause of it.
