How do we know that Jesus saves the worst of sinners?

Jesus' commitment to saving sinners is evident in His actions and teachings throughout the Gospels. In Luke 5:31-32, He states, "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." This illustrates that the very purpose of His coming was to extend grace to those labeled as the worst, including publicans and sinners. Paul's testimony further supports this truth; after recognizing his own unworthiness as the chief sinner, he experienced the transformative power of Christ’s mercy. This pattern of God’s grace toward those who acknowledge their sinful nature is a consistent theme in Christian theology and reassures believers that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's saving power.
