For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person, one
would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:7-8
Our delicate sensibilities often force statements of nobility, such as sacrificing one’s life for
someone they perceive to be righteous or good. Yet, those seemingly true statements go out the window for a sinful person. This is why God’s grace is superior to any work of man, as Paul shows the distinction between what we may or may not do in contrast to what Christ has done.
