What does the Bible say about Christ's purpose in coming to Earth?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ came to save sinners, not the righteous, highlighting His mission of grace and redemption.
The New Testament is clear about Christ's mission on Earth, particularly in passages like Matthew 9:13 where He states, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This encapsulates the essence of the Gospel: Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). His role as the Savior is rooted in the need for sinners to be restored to a right relationship with God. His coming was not just to offer a potential salvation but to actuate the salvation of those whom the Father has given Him, emphasizing the certainty in His redemptive work.
