6 ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Stephen started by telling how that many people had laid down their lives for others and they still are through the wars that are still going on.
The death of the Lord Jesus was different, God sent His Son to die for us because we are all sinners we don't meet God's standard which is perfection.
God's rescue package was planned before the world was formed, The Holy Son of God went into battle for me and got the victory. He cried out while on the cross "It is Finished" many battles drag on not this one.
He died, was taken down, was buried, He rose again, He ascended, and He is coming again.
God poured out the judgement for our sin upon His Son and He bore it for us.
We need to come in repentance and faith to Him who shed His precious blood to gain the victory for us.
