How do we know Jesus calls sinners to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly states that He came to call sinners, not the righteous, to repentance, as mentioned in Matthew 9:13.

In Matthew 9, Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ criticism for associating with publicans and sinners by asserting, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This statement is crucial, as it underscores the gospel's core message—Christ's mission was to save the lost, showing that acknowledgment of one's sinfulness is essential for coming to Him. It emphasizes that no one is beyond the reach of His grace, making it imperative for all to recognize their need for a Savior.
