What does the Bible say about Christ's mission to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, emphasizing that He came not for the righteous but for those in need of healing.

In Mark 2:17, Jesus makes a profound declaration about His mission when He states, 'They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This emphasizes the necessity of recognizing our spiritual condition—in our sinfulness, we are spiritually sick and in need of a Savior. This passage underscores the grace of God, as Christ reached out to those whom society deemed unworthy. Jesus’ ministry was fundamentally about expressing mercy and love toward sinners, a truth that is foundational to the entire gospel message.
