Answered in 22 sources

The Bible declares that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15), emphasizing that this is a faithful saying from God.

The Bible clearly affirms that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, as stated in 1 Timothy 1:15. This saying is called a faithful saying because it comes from God, who cannot lie. Throughout the scriptures, we see that the hope of every sinner rests in the gospel, which originates from God Himself. The testimony to this truth is backed by God's immutable promise and counsel. From the very beginning, God preached this good news, and it is substantiated by various types and shadows in the Old Testament pointing to Christ. The essence of the gospel is that it is not just a doctrine; it centers around a person, Jesus Christ, who came to fulfill God's law and justice on behalf of sinners.
