How do we know that Jesus calls sinners to repentance?

In Luke 5:32, Jesus makes it clear that His purpose is to call sinners to repentance. He responds to the murmuring of scribes and Pharisees, asserting that those who are healthy do not need a physician. This indicates that His mission is directed toward those who recognize their need for healing, which is a reflection of the gospel's core message. Jesus' calling is effectual; it transforms the hearts of those He calls, showing His grace and mercy to those who are spiritually destitute. Therefore, this calling is not only a theological assertion but seen in the transformative lives of individuals who respond to His call.
