While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost.” Luke 19:10
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15
The late venerable and godly Dr. Archibald Alexander of Princeton had been a preacher of Christ for sixty years and a professor of divinity for forty. On his deathbed he was heard to say to a friend, “All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass—Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.”
Spurgeon
