How do we know Jesus came to save sinners?

Answered in 15 sources

Jesus affirmed His mission to save sinners in Scripture, specifically noted in Luke 19:10 and reflected in His actions throughout the Gospels.

The assurance that Jesus came to save sinners is founded in His own words and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Luke 19:10 states explicitly that 'the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.' This mission was evidenced in His encounters with individuals like Zacchaeus, whom society deemed unworthy. Jesus’ ministry, which included healing, teaching, and ultimately dying for the ungodly, corroborates His role as Savior. Throughout the Gospels, He demonstrates relentless pursuit of those who are lost, testifying of God’s love and grace for all mankind.
