How do we know Jesus' mission was to save lives?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus clearly stated that He came not to destroy lives, but to save them.

In Luke 9:56, Jesus rebukes His disciples for suggesting that they call down fire from heaven to destroy a Samaritan village. He emphasizes that His purpose for coming to Earth is fundamentally about salvation, not destruction. Throughout the Gospels, Christ's ministry consistently revolves around helping the lost, healing the sick, and forgiving sinners (Luke 19:10). His ultimate mission is encapsulated in John 3:17, which affirms that He did not come to condemn the world, but to save it, highlighting the loving and redemptive nature of His work. Understanding this mission helps Christians align their actions with the Gospel's true purpose.
