Why Did JESUS Love Sinners?

17 When Jesus heard it, 

he saith unto them, 

They that are whole 

have no need of the physician, 

but they that are sick: 

I came not to call 

the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

Mark 2:15-17 

King James Version


 Scripture says we are all sinners.

But why does JESUS love us, still?

Scripture explains why.

16 For God so loved 

the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 

King James Version


29 My Father, 

which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them 

out of my Father's hand.

John 10:29 

King James Version


37 All that the Father giveth me 

shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me 

I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will 

which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again 

at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, 

may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up 

at the last day.

John 6:37-40 

King James Version


15 Then drew near unto him 

all the publicans and sinners 

for to hear him.

2 And the Pharisees 

and scribes murmured, saying, 

This man receiveth sinners, 

and eateth with them.

3 And he spake this parable 

unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, 

having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, 

doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, 

rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends 

and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep 

which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

Luke 15:1-7 

King James Version


23 For the wages of sin is death; 

but the gift of God 

is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ 

our Lord.

Romans 6:23 

King James Version


8 But God commendeth his love toward us, 

in that, 

while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8 

King James Version


2 And he is the propitiation 

for our sins: 

and not for ours only, 

but also for the sins 

of the whole world.

1 John 2:2 

King James Version


15 Ye judge after the flesh; 

I judge no man.

16 And yet if I judge, 

my judgment is true: 

for I am not alone, 

but I and the Father 

that sent me.

John 8:15-16 

King James Version
