How do we know that Jesus' mercy is for all sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' mercy extends to all sinners, as He clearly stated in Luke 5:32, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.'

The gospel illustrates that Christ's mercy is available to all who recognize their need for it. In Luke 5:32, Jesus explicitly says He came to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance, emphasizing the very purpose of His mission: to reach those who are lost and in need of salvation. Furthermore, Romans 15:7 encourages the church to accept one another as Christ accepted us, underscoring that His acceptance is grounded in grace and not in personal merit. Thus, the beauty of the gospel reassures us that regardless of one’s past or current state, the call to mercy and grace in Christ is universal for all who come in faith.
