Why is calling sinners important in the Christian faith?

In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus instructs us to invite the poor, maimed, lame, and blind to the supper, symbolizing the call to salvation. This call is significant because those who are spiritually needy are often the ones who respond to the gospel. They recognize their lack of righteousness and their need for a Savior, which is the essence of the Christian message. By inviting sinners, we are affirming that the grace of God is extended to all who acknowledge their sinfulness and seek mercy through Christ.
