They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

When it comes to a Christian who is living for the Lord, there is no reason to make it a priority pointing them out and saying they are righteous. They are already in the faith living as you would expect a Christian to live. It is not to be an extraordinary thing when they do what is expected of them. On the other hand, when it comes to those who are not saved or are backslid, it is imperative that we do what we can to lead them back to Jesus so they will make it to heaven.
Jesus compares this to how doctors don't go around calling those who are well healthy and making them their priority. There is no need because they are getting along just fine. Physicians are here for those who are not well. They work to take a person who is sick and use their knowledge to make them well.
