Below are five verses related to these themes:

Luke 19:10: "For the Son of man came to seek and save what had been lost." - This verse highlights Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, which is illustrated in the three parables of Luke 15.

1 Timothy 1:15: "This is a faithful word and worthy of all acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, from which I am the chief." - This verse highlights God's grace to save sinners, which is the central theme of the parables of Luke 15.

Romans 5:8: "But God proves His love to us, in which Christ died for us, we are still sinners." - This verse highlights God's grace in loving sinners to the point of sending Jesus to die for them, which is illustrated in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32.

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you are saved, through faith; and this does not come from you, it is the gift of God. It does not come from the works, so that no one can glorious." - This verse points out that salvation is a gift from God, granted by grace through faith, which is illustrated in the parables of Luke 15 as a gift from God to repentant sinners.
