How do we know that Christ came to save sinners?

Answered in 18 sources

The Bible explicitly states in 1 Timothy 1:15 that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, which affirms His mission in the gospel.

The assurance of Christ's mission to save sinners is rooted in several scriptural affirmations, most notably in 1 Timothy 1:15, where Paul writes: 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.' This declaration serves both as a profound reminder and a faithful saying that is worthy of full acceptance. The entirety of the gospel hinges on this truth; Christ's coming is not merely to make salvation available but ensures that those whom He came to save will indeed be saved. This reflects the doctrine of particular redemption found within sovereign grace theology, emphasizing that Christ died specifically for those He intended to redeem, securing their salvation irrevocably.
