How do we know Christ came to save sinners is true?

Answered in 6 sources

We know Christ came to save sinners because this is affirmed repeatedly in Scripture, particularly in 1 Timothy 1:15.

The statement that 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners' is described as a faithful saying in 1 Timothy 1:15. This affirmation is significant as it encapsulates the core purpose of Christ's incarnation. Paul emphasizes that not only did Christ come for sinners, but he himself identified as the chief of sinners, illustrating the depth of human depravity and the breadth of God's redemptive grace. This truth is echoed throughout the New Testament, including Jesus’ own declarations in Luke 5:32, where He states, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' Such clear, repeated affirmations underscore the truth of this doctrine within biblical teaching.
