How do we know that Jesus' purpose was to save sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly stated His mission, saying He came to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10).

In Luke 19:10, Jesus states, 'For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.' This succinctly encapsulates His redemptive purpose. Throughout Scripture, we see the continual theme of Jesus reaching out to sinners, demonstrating that His mission was fundamentally about salvation. By healing the sick, forgiving sins, and offering hope to the destitute and spiritually poor, Jesus embodied His mission. The sovereignty of God in salvation is central here: Christ saves the elect, those whom the Father has given Him to redeem, which underscores the importance of acknowledging our need for grace and being humbled by His mercy.
