Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:22 NIV

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8 NIV

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed – a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: βThe righteous will live by faith.β
Romans 1:17 NIV
