And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

Luke 10:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

To save His people from their sins.” What is the meaning of save? You don’t save someone who just needs a little help. (You save someone who is unable to do anything to save themselves. (You save someone that is lost at sea. A person who has stopped breathing needs saving.) So prior to Jesus saving us, we as a people where helplessly and hopelessly lost in our on sins.
People were alienated form God, under His righteous judgment, and unable to free themselves from their condition.
A Savior is one who has the power to rescue people who cannot rescue themselves.
Jesus has the God given power to save people from their sins.

No human contingency mentioned in scriptures.

When God purposes to save, He saves.
