Sinners in the Bible: Romans 5:8
Christ didn't die for people who already loved him. He died for sinners--people whose lives were bound up and directed by sinful desires that went contrary to God's will. It was the sick he came to cure, not the healthy.

While we were yet sinners - a Christian perspective
What's truly amazing about Jesus' sacrifice is that he died for us while we were sinners--before we had done anything to demonstrate our love for him. The people he was dying for had done nothing to deserve it.
