God did not come to call the self-proclaimed righteous, who see no need to repent. But, He called the sinners to change their old way of thinking, to turn from sin and to seek God and His righteousness. It is an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out. His purpose is to invite sinners to turn from their sins, not to spend His time with those who think themselves already good enough.
What a grace for us sinners! He loves us sinners if we will just repent from it. He already forgave us. Just look at the cross, there is forgiveness there. He already paid for it. He did not come to invite good people to turn to God. He came to invite sinners. He had come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.
