Romans 5:7
7 For [gar] scarcely [molis] for [huper] a righteous man
[dikaios] will [apothnesko] one [tis] die [apothnesko]: yet [gar] peradventure [tacha] for [huper] a good man [agathos] some [tis] would [tolmao] even [kai] dare [tolmao] to die [apothnesko].KJV-Interlinear
7 For one will scarcely die
for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to
die — ESV
Paul begins the comparison of Gods love and commitment,
to mans love and commitment. And obviously
Gods is far more reaching and far better than that of humanity.
There are examples in history of people laying down
their lives for others, but those examples are rare and the vast majority of
people do not know of any of those examples.
However, even among humanity a person might, repeat
might, lay their life down for another if they are a very close friend or
family or a good person or even a righteous person. But there have to be very unusual
circumstances in order for that kind of personal sacrifice, to occur.
Even though the personal sacrifice is possible, most
folks would not end their own life for another.
Too many excuses or logic or reasoning simply get in the way to prevent
it.
And, when you consider a sacrifice of this kind, in
behalf of a tyrant or bad person or an extremely horrible person, well, is there
anyone who would even begin to consider giving themselves up so that that horrible
person can continue in their life?
Not likely.
If you hesitate to give your life for someone who is
overwhelmingly good, then there is no chance that you would even begin to think
about ending your life for someone who has fallen way off the deep end of
corruption.
And yet, God, who is Jesus Christ, gave His life for
everyone, without even the slightest hesitation.
Christ did the maximum, and even beyond the maximum
for our benefit. And yet most folks will
not even lift a tiny finger to go to a link to read a daily study and grow up
in their spiritual life, to better themselves, as God has intended for them,
much less do this day after day after day throughout their life.
Why is that?
These
studies, are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
that is easily accessible, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if
you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
