Scripture explicitly states that Jesus came to save sinners, as supported by the genealogies that exhibit the sinful nature of God's people.
The genealogy in Matthew 1 illustrates that the lineage of Jesus is filled with sinners, which shows that those He came to save are indeed flawed and in need of redemption. Furthermore, as the sermon explains, the one who bears the name 'Jesus' is fundamentally described as a Savior. Through His life and ministry, Jesus demonstrated His capacity to save by actively delivering those mired in sin and bondage, such as the man with an unclean spirit in Mark 5. This is integral to understanding that His very purpose for coming was to reconcile sinners to God, fulfilling His role as the promised Savior.
