What does the Bible say about Jesus coming to save sinners?

Scripture clearly articulates that Jesus did not come to reward the righteous, but to save sinners. In Luke 19:10, it states that 'the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.' This emphasizes that the purpose of Christ's incarnation was centered on sinners, the very needy who are aware of their sinfulness. He has compassion for those who are marginalized and rejected by society, including tax collectors and other sinners, highlighting grace's reach to the 'worst' among us. The entire gospel narrative is a manifestation of God’s mercy, showing that Christ came for all who recognize their need for salvation.
