How do we know that Jesus came for sinners?

Answered in 3 sources

Scripture indicates that Jesus came to seek and save what was lost, emphasizing His focus on those who acknowledge their sinfulness.

Jesus explicitly stated in His own words that He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners (Matthew 9:13). This aligns with Luke 19:10, where He says, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' This dual emphasis verifies that His mission was aimed at those who are aware of their need for salvation, reinforcing the belief that recognition of one's own sin is crucial in the journey to Christ. The calling of Matthew, a tax collector, showcases how Jesus reaches out to those deemed unworthy by society, inviting them into fellowship and grace, thereby demonstrating the depth of God's mercy.
