Romans 5:7,8

Romans 5:7,8 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was attacked by a would-be assassin in Washington, D.C. John Hinckley Jr. pulled out a gun firing six times in 1.7 seconds. At the first shot, District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty shielded the President with his own body, taking a bullet in the back of his neck. What an act of selfless heroism! There are many people who might give their lives to protect the President of the United States. But no one would give their life to save a worthless bum. No one but God, that is. Some might die for a good man, but only God would die for a sinner. Jesus Christ, God’s perfect Son, died for us while we were good-for-nothing, worthless sinners! What love! What an act of selfless heroism!
