Who does God call to salvation?

According to Matthew 9:13, Jesus stated, 'I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This distinction emphasizes that God’s call is for those who recognize their need for grace and redemption. Those who see themselves as righteous or deserving of God's favor are excluded from this divine invitation, demonstrating that God's calling is extended to those who humble themselves and acknowledge their sinfulness before Him. Therefore, understanding one's identity as a sinner is crucial to recognizing and responding to God's call.
