How do we know that Christ came for sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly states that He came to call sinners, emphasizing their need for repentance, as shown in Mark 2:17.

In Mark 2:17, Christ clarifies His mission, stating, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This declaration highlights the core of His ministry—reaching out to those who recognize their need for salvation. The Pharisees, who viewed themselves as righteous, completely missed the point of Jesus' mission. They were oblivious to the fact that salvation is for all who are willing to admit their sinfulness and acknowledge their need for a Savior. Jesus’ association with sinners serves to demonstrate His grace and mercy towards those who truly seek Him, affirming the sovereign grace doctrine that no one can earn their way to righteousness.
