What does it mean that Christ came to save sinners?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ's mission was to offer salvation to those who are in need of grace, highlighting His purpose in coming to Earth.

The proclamation that 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners' underscores the fullness of the Gospel's message. It signifies that Christ's coming was deliberate and necessary—He identifies with those who are lost and hopeless. The purpose of His incarnation was not to assist individuals in becoming savable or to provide an opportunity for salvation; rather, it was to fully save those who are described as sinners. This concept emphasizes the grace of God, which is unfathomable and transformative, extending to people who admit their need for forgiveness and redemption. Thus, the recognition of our sinful state allows us to truly appreciate the depth of Christ's love and the significance of His sacrifice.
