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
