How do we know Christ came for sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's mission was explicitly to save sinners, as illustrated by Jacob's choice of speckled and spotted sheep.

The Bible reveals that Christ's purpose was to seek and save the lost, which includes all types of sinners, illustrated in the metaphor of speckled, spotted, and brown sheep in Genesis 30. Jacob, representing Christ, chose the undesirable sheep, signifying that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's redemption. Scriptures like 1 Timothy 1:15 declare that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, emphasizing that His sacrificial love encompasses the most unworthy among us. This rich imagery in the Old Testament foreshadows the New Testament's declaration of God's grace available to all who believe.
