He didn't mention sin or repentance, only life, healing and love and being called to righteousness. They are important obvs but unless people spell out turning away from sin, the atonement, surrendering everything to Jesus, they appear to sit in liberal christianity.
If you could do it, even one person, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross.
Jesus didn't come for the righteous because there weren't any then and there still aren't any today. We are all saved by His grace if we are saved. All He asks is for us to accept the gift that He gave us and try to follow His example. The Holy Spirit that lives inside of us will help us change but we'll always fall short of the perfection of God and He knew that we would fail.

Thank you, well said. Grace and forgiveness are never earned. They are freely given. Otherwise we could boast.
Grace mercy and peace be upon you frens
