Romans 5:8 : "But God commendeth his own love to-ward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Here Paul shows the greatness of God's love by contrasting it with man's love. To die for a good man is great love. But Jesus died for sinners for those who were his enemies. To die for those who hate and abuse us is love supreme. Jesus did that. He died even for those who mocked, scourged, and crucified him. He died that those who shed his blood might live. Never other love like that.
