Romans 5:6-8 "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

When the scriptures state that one would hardly die for a righteous or good man, have we put ourselves in the position of the two people in this scenario?

Would we die in the place of someone else?  Even if that person was completely undeserving of it?

Consider the situation where someone died in our place, when our death was sure.  And their death was a result of our actions!

Christ died for sinners, and he did so not because of anything inside us sinners, but to demonstrate the love of God.  The gospel is about God and Him glorifying Himself.  May this force us to be in awe of God and humbly praise Him all our days.
