Not only for you

Here's more light on the "if you had been the only sinner on earth" trope:
That statement about Jesus dying just for you makes us feel good about ourselves, and our worth, but we need to realize that we are supposed to worship God, regardless of what He has done for us; He is God Almighty. He died just for His Father, and you as the beneficiary of that plan. This does not diminish His love for us in any way; it lifts up the holiness of God and shows it to be the spring from which God’s mercy and justice can be met together in Christ.
Amen.
