Why do sinners come to Christ?

Sinners are drawn to Christ out of a recognition of their own wretchedness and need for mercy. As articulated in Luke 15:1-2, it is typically the publicans and sinners who gather around Jesus, acknowledging their status as unworthy before God. This acknowledgment is essential for a true understanding of the gospel. When one comes to realize that their righteousness is like filthy rags and sees their sinfulness clearly, they will be inclined to seek refuge in Christ, who offers grace and forgiveness. Only those who are humbled by their sin will find true solace in the Savior, for He came to save sinners, not the righteous.
