How do we know Jesus came to save sinners?

The mission of Jesus Christ was centered on the redemption of sinners, as He Himself declared in Luke 5:32, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' The parables Jesus shared about the lost sheep and the prodigal son further illustrate His heart for sinners. The entire work of Christ is to seek and save the lost, proving His love and compassion for those in need of mercy. Furthermore, in Matthew 18:11, Jesus asserts that His mission is to save those who are lost, which confirms the singular purpose of His incarnation.
